Answer:

0.12 (12%)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Probability of rain every day: 70% (0.7)

Step 2: Calculate the probability that it rains every day

The probability that it rains one day is independent of the probability that it rains another day. For independent events, we can calculate the probability that it rains every day by multiplying the individual probabilities. Since the individual probabilities are equal, this is the same as raising the individual probability to the number of days.

P = 0.7⁶ = 0.12

Howard’s uncle gave him $885 for his tenth birthday. The money was invested in a savings account with interest compounded at 12%

Stella [2.4K]

Principal Amount = P = $885
Amount Accumulated = A = $3500
Interest rate = r = 12% = 0.12
Compounding period in a year = n = 2
Time in years = t = ?

The formula for compounding is:

$A=P(1+ \frac{r}{n})^{t*n}$

Using the values, we get:

$3500=885(1+ \frac{0.12}{2})^{2*t} \\ \\ 
 \frac{3500}{885} =(1.06)^{2t} \\ \\ 
log(\frac{3500}{885})=log((1.06)^{2t}) \\ \\ 
log(\frac{3500}{885})=2tlog(1.06) \\ \\ 
t= \frac{log(\frac{3500}{885})}{2log(1.06)} \\ \\ \\ 
t=11.80$

This means, it will take him 11.8 or approximately 12 years
