A boat costs $11850 and decreases in value by 10% per year how much will the boat be worth after 8 years

Answer: the boatf will be worth $5101 after 8 years.

A decrease of 10% is equivalent to multiplying the current value by 0.9.

Every year the value gets multiplied so we get an exponential function in years:

value after y years = V\cdot0.9\cdot0.9\cdot\cdot\cdot0.9=V\cdot0.9^y

value after 8 years = \$11850\cdot0.9^8=\$11850\cdot0.43\approx \$5101

It is known that 50% of adult workers have a high school diploma. If a random sample of 8 adult workers is selected, what is the
son4ous [18]

Answer:

85.56% probability that less than 6 of them have a high school diploma

Step-by-step explanation:

For each adult, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they have a high school diploma, or they do not. The probability of an adult having a high school diploma is independent of other adults. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

50% of adult workers have a high school diploma.

This means that p = 0.5

If a random sample of 8 adult workers is selected, what is the probability that less than 6 of them have a high school diploma

This is P(X < 6) when n = 8.

P(X < 6) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5)

In which

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{8,0}.(0.5)^{0}.(0.5)^{8} = 0.0039

P(X = 1) = C_{8,1}.(0.5)^{1}.(0.5)^{7} = 0.0313

P(X = 2) = C_{8,2}.(0.5)^{2}.(0.5)^{6} = 0.1094

P(X = 3) = C_{8,3}.(0.5)^{3}.(0.5)^{5} = 0.2188

P(X = 4) = C_{8,4}.(0.5)^{4}.(0.5)^{4} = 0.2734

P(X = 5) = C_{8,5}.(0.5)^{5}.(0.5)^{3} = 0.2188

P(X < 6) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) = 0.0039 + 0.0313 + 0.1094 + 0.2188 + 0.2734 + 0.2188 = 0.8556

85.56% probability that less than 6 of them have a high school diploma
