<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answers are:

Part a: The money in the account is growing.

Part b: The rate of growth is 3%

Part c: The value 250 represents the starting amount of money.

<h2>Why?</h2>

To solve the problem, first, we must remember the structure of the exponential growth or decay function:

P(t)=StartAmount*(rate)^{t}

Where,

- Start Amount, is the starting value or amount

- Rate, is the rate of growth or decay, we must consider the following conditions:

If the rate is greater than 1, the rate is a growth rate.

If the rate is lower than 1, the rate is a decay rate.

- t, is the time elapsed.

Therefore, we are given the following function:

f(x)=250(1.03)^{x}

From the function we can see that:

- Since the rate is 1.03 and it's greater than 1, the money in the account is growing.

- From the function we already know that the rate of growth is equal to 1.03

The rate is calculated by the following formula:

Rate=1+percent(growth)

- The value 250 represents the starting amount of money.

Hence, the answers are:

Part a: The money in the account is growing.

Part b: The rate of growth is 3%

Part c: The value 250 represents the starting amount of money.

Have a nice day!

Calculate the median for 5,10,12,4,6,11,13,5 show steps
Reika [66]
First, put the numbers in numerical order from 4-13.
4,5,5,6,10,11,12,13
Then, the number that is in the middle will be the answer, which is 6 and 10. Then, you need to find the mean of these two numbers. To find the mean, add 6 and 10, then divide by two. The answer is then 8.

Assume that 63% of people are left-handed. If we select 5 people at random, find the probability of each outcome described below
mash [69]

Answer:

a. 0.9931

b. 0.3423

c. 0.3907

d. 0.2670

e. 3.15

f. 1.0796

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of the variable that said the number of left-handed people follow a Binomial distribution, so the probability is:

P(x)=nCx*p^{x}*(1-p)^{n-x}

nCx is calculated as:

nCx=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

Where x is the number of left-handed people, n is the number of people selected at random and p is the probability that a person is left--handed. So P(x) is:

P(x)=5Cx*0.63^{x}*(1-0.63)^{5-x}

Then the probabilities P(0), P(1), P(2), P(3), P(4) and P(5) are:

P(0)=5C0*0.63^{0}*(1-0.63)^{5-0}=0.0069

P(1)=5C1*0.63^{1}*(1-0.63)^{5-1}=0.0590

P(2)=5C2*0.63^{2}*(1-0.63)^{5-2}=0.2011

P(3)=5C3*0.63^{3}*(1-0.63)^{5-3}=0.3423

P(x)=5C4*0.63^{4}*(1-0.63)^{5-4}=0.2914

P(x)=5C5*0.63^{5}*(1-0.63)^{5-5}=0.0993

Then, the probability P(x≥1) that there are some lefties among the 5 people is:

P(x≥1) = P(1) + P(2) + P(3) + P(4) + P(5)

P(x≥1) = 0.0590 + 0.2011 + 0.3423 + 0.2914 + 0.0993 = 0.9931

The probability P(3) that there are exactly 3 lefties in the group is:

P(3) = 0.3423

The probability P(x≥4) that there are at least 4 lefties in the group is:

P(x≥4) = P(4) + P(5) = 0.2914 + 0.0993 = 0.3907

The probability P(x≤2) that there are no more than 2 lefties in the group is:

P(x≤2) = P(0) + P(1) + P(2) = 0.0069 + 0.0590 + 0.2011 = 0.2670

On the other hand, the expected value E(x) and standard deviation S(x) of the variable that follows a binomial distribution is:

E(x)=np=5(0.63)=3.15\\S(x)=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{5(0.63)(1-0.63)}=1.0796

What does x/4=3/2 equal?
MrRissso [65]
x/4 = 3/2
x/2 = 3 (multiply both sides by 2)
x = 6 (multiply both sides by 2)
Therefore 6/4 = 3/2
