Answer: the principal is approximately 23377

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Initial amount deposited into the account be $x This means that the principal is P = $x

It was compounded quarterly. This means that it was compounded four times in a year. So

n = 4

The rate at which the principal was compounded is 3.575%. So

r = 3.575/100 = 0.03575

It would be compounded for 30 years So

t = 30

The formula for compound interest is

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

A = total amount in the account at the end of t years.

A is given as $68,000

Therefore

68000= x (1+0.03575/4)^4×30

68000= x (1+0.0089375)^120

68000= x (1.0089375)^120

68000 = 2.90878547719x

x = 68000/2.90878547719

x = 23377.4545

The weights of college football players are normally distributed with a mean of 200 pounds and a standard deviation of 50 pounds
Feliz [49]

Answer:

0.3811 = 38.11% probability that he weighs between 170 and 220 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

\mu = 200, \sigma = 50

Find the probability that he weighs between 170 and 220 pounds.

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 220 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 170.

X = 220

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{220 - 200}{50}

Z = 0.4

Z = 0.4 has a pvalue of 0.6554

X = 170

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{170 - 200}{50}

Z = -0.6

Z = -0.6 has a pvalue of 0.2743

0.6554 - 0.2743 = 0.3811

0.3811 = 38.11% probability that he weighs between 170 and 220 pounds.
