A financial advisor tells you that you can make your child a millionaire if you just start saving early. You decide to put an eq

ual amount each year into an investment account that earns 7.5% interest per year, starting on the day your child is born. How much would you need to invest each year (rounded to the nearest dollar) to accumulate a million for your child by the time he is 35 years old? (Your last deposit will be made on his 34th birthday.)​

Answer:

$12159 per year.

Step-by-step explanation:

If I invest $x each year at the simple interest of 7.5%, then the first $x will grow for 35 years, the second $x will grow for 34 years and so on.

So, the total amount that will grow after 35 years by investing $x at the start of each year at the rate of 7.5% simple interest will be given by

x( 1 + \frac{35 \times 7.5}{100}) + x( 1 + \frac{34 \times 7.5}{100}) + x( 1 + \frac{33 \times 7.5}{100}) + ......... + x( 1 + \frac{1 \times 7.5}{100})

= 35x + \frac{x \times 7.5}{100} [35 + 34 + 33 + ......... + 1]

= 35x + \frac{x \times 7.5}{100} [\frac{1}{2} (35) (35 + 1)]

{Since sum of n natural numbers is given by \frac{1}{2} (n)(n + 1)}

= 35x + 47.25x

= 82.25x

Now, given that the final amount will be i million dollars = $1000000

So, 82.25x = 1000000

⇒ x = $12,158. 05 ≈ $12159

Therefore. I have to invest $12159 per year. (Answer)

For a sample of n=64​, the probability of a sample mean being less than 20.5 if u = 21 and sigma = 1.31 is ​(Round to four decim
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

The mean is usual

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the mean (m) is equal to 21, the standard deviation (sd) = 1.31 and the sample size (n) = 64

They ask us for P (x <20.5)

For this, the first thing is to calculate z, which is given by the following equation:

z = (x - m) / (sd / (n ^ 1/2))

We have all these values, replacing we have:

z = (20.5 - 21) / (1.31 / (64 ^ 1/2))

z = -3.05

With the normal distribution table (attached), we have that at that value, the probability is:

P (z <-3.05) = 0.0002

The mean is usual because P (x> 20.5) = 1 - P (x <20.5) = 1 - 0.0002 = 0.9998 is a fairly high probability.

You are planning a promotion that will feature breakfast sandwiches. Your store normally sells 75 breakfast sandwiches per week.
EleoNora [17]
The number of additional sandwiches is 15.

If we multiply 75 sandwiches by 0.2 (20%), then we get 15, which would be the number of sandwiches needed to be sold to meet the sales goal.

Hope this helped.

Taiga wants to make a circular loop that she can twirl around her body for exercise. He will use a tube that is 2.5 meters long.
Travka [436]

Answer: 0.796 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference of circle = 2\pi r , where r=radius

Here, Circumference of loop = 2.5 meters

i.e. 2\pi r=2.5

\Rightarrow\ r=\dfrac{2.5}{2\pi}

\Rightarrow\ r=\dfrac{2.5}{2\times\dfrac{22}{7}}\\\\\Rightarrow\ r=\dfrac{2.5\times7}{2\times22}\\\\\Righttarrow\ r=0.398\ m

Diameter = 2r = 2(0.398) = 0.796 meters

Hence, The diameter of Taiga's exercise hoop = 0.796 meters
