Answer:

£21552.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

Principal amount = £18790

Rate of simple interest =4.9% = 0.049 per year

Time = 3 years

Formula for simple interest:

$I=P\times r\times t$

where, P is principal, r is rate of interest and t is time in years.

$I=18790\times 0.049\times 3$

$I=2762.13$

Total amount after 3 year is

$A=P+I$

$A=18790+2762.13$

$A=21552.13$

$A\approx 21552$

Therefore, Dan have £21552 after 3 years.

A selective university advertises that 96% of its bachelor’s degree graduates have, on graduation day, a professional job offer

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

The probability is $P( p < 0.9207) = 0.0012556$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told

The population proportion is $p = 0.96$

The sample size is $n = 227$

The number of graduate who had job is k = 209

Generally given that the sample size is large enough (i.e n > 30) then the mean of this sampling distribution is

$\mu_x = p = 0.96$

Generally the standard deviation of this sampling distribution is

$\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{p (1 - p )}{n} }$

=> $\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{0.96 (1 - 0.96 )}{227} }$

=> $\sigma = 0.0130$

Generally the sample proportion is mathematically represented as

$\^ p = \frac{k}{n}$

=> $\^ p = \frac{209}{227}$

=> $\^ p = 0.9207$

Generally probability of obtaining a sample proportion as low as or lower than this, if the university’s claim is true, is mathematically represented as

$P( p < 0.9207) = P( \frac{\^ p - p }{\sigma } < \frac{0.9207 - 0.96}{0.0130 } )$

$\frac{\^ p - p}{\sigma } = Z (The \ standardized \ value\ of \ \^ p )$

$P( p < 0.9207) = P(Z< -3.022 )$

From the z table the area under the normal curve to the left corresponding to -3.022 is

$P(Z< -3.022 ) = 0.0012556$

=> $P( p < 0.9207) = 0.0012556$

Need help please show your work <br>find the missing angles of triangles

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

angle: 71

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1: 180-(55+54) = 71

step 2: x+74=71 (subtract 74 from both sides)

step 3: x=-3

step 4: -3+74=71

A college requires applicants to have an ACT score in the top 12% of all test scores. The ACT scores are normally distributed, w

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

a) The lowest test score that a student could get and still meet the colleges requirement is 27.0225.

b) 156 would be expected to have a test score that would meet the colleges requirement

c) The lowest score that would meet the colleges requirement would be decreased to 26.388.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using 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 problem, we have that:

$\mu = 21.5, \sigma = 4.7$

a. Find the lowest test score that a student could get and still meet the colleges requirement.

This is the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 1 - 0.12 = 0.88. So it is X when Z = 1.175.

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

$1.175 = \frac{X - 21.5}{4.7}$

$X - 21.5 = 1.175*4.7$

$X = 27.0225$

The lowest test score that a student could get and still meet the colleges requirement is 27.0225.

b. If 1300 students are randomly selected, how many would be expected to have a test score that would meet the colleges requirement?

Top 12%, so 12% of them.

0.12*1300 = 156

156 would be expected to have a test score that would meet the colleges requirement

c. How does the answer to part (a) change if the college decided to accept the top 15% of all test scores?

It would decrease to the value of X when Z has a pvalue of 1-0.15 = 0.85. So X when Z = 1.04.

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

$1.04 = \frac{X - 21.5}{4.7}$

$X - 21.5 = 1.04*4.7$

$X = 26.388$

The lowest score that would meet the colleges requirement would be decreased to 26.388.
