T = 7.23 years (either 5 or 10, you choose)

Equation:
t = (1/r)(A/P - 1)
Calculation:
First, converting R percent to r a decimal
r = R/100 = 8.3%/100 = 0.083 per year,
then, solving our equation

t = (1/0.083)((80000/50000) - 1) = 7.23
t = 7.23 years

The time required to get
a total amount, principal plus interest, of $ 80,000.00
from simple interest on a principal of $ 50,000.00
at an interest rate of 8.3% per year
is 7.23 years (about 7 years 3 months).

andriy [413]
Given that the population has been modeled by the formula:
a=118e^(0.024t), the time taken for the population to hit 140k will be given by:
140000=118e^(0.024t)
solving for t we shall have:
140000/118=e^(0.024t)
thus;
0.024t=ln(140000/118)
t=1/0.024*ln(140000/118)
t=295
thus the time the population will be 140000 will be:
1998+295
=2293

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

The correct answer to the question is

e. If is likely that between 35% and 41% percent of the driving population would be willing to pay higher gas prices to protect the environment.

Step-by-step explanation:

The margin of error expresses the number of percentage points of error is contained within  survey result. A large error margin therefore reduces the level of dependence on a given statistic. The margin of error describes the expected variation between the statistic sample and the real population value.

In the question, the option

e. If is likely that between 35% and 41% percent of the driving population would be willing to pay higher gas prices to protect the environment , clearly depicts the definition of margin of error as it shows the expected variance from te real population
