Answer:

A. 6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the given amount formula is,

$A=Pe^{rt}$

Where, P is the initial amount,

r is the periodic rate of interest,

t is the number of periods,

Here, P = $ 2000,

t = 4 years,

A = $ 2543,

By substituting the values,

$2543=2000e^{4r}$

$1.2715=e^{4r}$

Taking ln on both sides,

$ln(1.2715)=4r$

$\implies r = 0.06004932647\approx 0.06 = 6\%$

Hence, the rate of interest is 6 %.

Option 'A' is correct.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hihi. So, this is a nice application of interest rates as well as properties of exponentials/logarithms. As you know, the basic equation for interest rates is A= Pe^(rt) where A is your final amount, P is your initial, r is your rate of interest, and t is the time the money was accumulating interest. After cleaning up, you get in a situation due to you having e still lying around. Luckily, if you take the natural log of e, all you have left behind is the previous exponent. Thus, you can take the natural log of both sides, divide by 4, and then simplify to see that your final interest rate is ~6%

Find the probability that a randomly generated bit string of length 10 does not contain a 0 if bits are independent and if:a) a

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

A) 0.0009765625

B) 0.0060466176

C) 2.7756 x 10^(-17)

Step-by-step explanation:

A) This problem follows a binomial distribution. The number of successes among a fixed number of trials is; n = 10

If a 0 bit and 1 bit are equally likely, then the probability to select in 1 bit is; p = 1/2 = 0.5

Now the definition of binomial probability is given by;

P(K = x) = C(n, k)•p^(k)•(1 - p)^(n - k)

Now, we want the definition of this probability at k = 10.

Thus;

P(x = 10) = C(10,10)•0.5^(10)•(1 - 0.5)^(10 - 10)

P(x = 10) = 0.0009765625

B) here we are given that p = 0.6 while n remains 10 and k = 10

Thus;

P(x = 10) = C(10,10)•0.6^(10)•(1 - 0.6)^(10 - 10)

P(x=10) = 0.0060466176

C) we are given that;

P((x_i) = 1) = 1/(2^(i))

Where i = 1,2,3.....,n

Now, the probability for the different bits is independent, so we can use multiplication rule for independent events which gives;

P(x = 10) = P((x_1) = 1)•P((x_2) = 1)•P((x_3) = 1)••P((x_4) = 1)•P((x_5) = 1)•P((x_6) = 1)•P((x_7) = 1)•P((x_8) = 1)•P((x_9) = 1)•P((x_10) = 1)

This gives;

P(x = 10) = [1/(2^(1))]•[1/(2^(2))]•[1/(2^(3))]•[1/(2^(4))]....•[1/(2^(10))]

This gives;

P(x = 10) = [1/(2^(55))]

P(x = 10) = 2.7756 x 10^(-17)

malik collects rare stamps and has a total of 212 stamps. he has 34 more domestic stamps than foreign stamps. let x represent th

valina [46]

<span>x = number of domestic stamps

y = number of foreign stamps

Malik collects rare stamps and has a total of 212 stamps.

=> x + y = 212

he has 34 more domestic stamps than foreign stamps.

=> x = y + 34

which equation represents the total number of stamps malik collected?

x + y = 212

which equation represents the difference in the number of foreign and domestic stamps malik collected?

x - y = 34

which system of linear equations represents the situation?

x + y = 212
x - y = 34

Miguel has 12 chocolate chip cookies, 6 lemon cookies and 17 strawberry cookies. Write a fraction that indicates how many cookie

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is on fraction

given data

chocolate chip cookies= 12

lemon cookies = 6

strawberry cookies= 17

the total cookies is = 12+6+17

=35 cookies

Therefore the fraction that indicates the lemon cookies is

=the number of lemon cookies/total cookies

=6/35

Hence the fraction lemon is 6/35
