Answer:

Jerry has a better saving plan for increasing his savings than Carlos

Step-by-step explanation:

Jerry's initial principal = $1000

Carlos initial principal = $1000

Jerry add $50 monthly this means that in 6 months he has

$50 x 6 = $300 as interest

This means that at the end of 6 months, Jerry would have $1,300 dollars at home

For Carlos the interest rate is 4% per year compounded monthly

If we calculate his interest per month we have:

Interest = 1000 x 4/(100 x 12) = $3.33

2nd month = 1003.33 x 4/(100 x 12) = $3.34

3rd month = 1006.68 x 4/(100 x 12) = $3.36

4th month = 1010.04 x 4/(100 x 12) = $3.37

5th month = 1013.41 x 4/(100 x 12) = $3.38

6th month = 1016.79 x 4/(100 x 12) = $3.40

At the end of 6 month, Carlos would have $1020.18 in the bank

Hence, Jerry has a better saving plan for increasing his savings than Carlos

Cuál es el capital final de invertir $65.000 durante 5 años a una tasa de interés simple del 5% anual? * 1 punto
SashulF [63]

Respuesta:

$81.250.

Explicación paso a paso:

Datos dados

Principal = $ 65,000

Tasa = 5%

Tiempo = 5 años

La expresión de interés simple se da como

A = P (1 + rt)

Substiute

A = 65000 (1 + 0,05 * 5)

A = 65000 (1 + 0,25)

A = 65000 (1,25)

A = $ 81,250

Por lo tanto, la inversión después de 5 años es de $81,250

Based on the model ​N(11541154​,8686​) describing steer​ weights, what are the cutoff values for ​a) the highest​ 10% of the​ we
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

a) x = 1225.68

b) x = 1081.76

c)  1109.28 < x < 1198.72

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- Th random variable X for steer weight follows a normal distribution:

                                    X~ N( 1154 , 86 )

Find:

a) the highest​ 10% of the​ weights? ​

b) the lowest​ 20% of the​ weights? ​

c) the middle​ 40% of the​ weights? ​

Solution:

a)

We will compute the corresponding Z-value for highest cut off 10%:

                                   Z @ 0.10 = 1.28

                                    Z = (x-u) / sd

Where,

u: Mean of the distribution.

s.d: Standard deviation of the distribution.

                                   1.28 = (x - 1154) / 86

                                      x = 1.28*86 + 1154

                                      x = 1225.68

b)

We will compute the corresponding Z-value for lowest cut off 20%:

                                   -Z @ 0.20 = -0.84

                                    Z = (x-u) / sd

                                   -0.84 = (x - 1154) / 86

                                      x = -0.84*86 + 1154

                                      x = 1081.76

c)

We will compute the corresponding Z-value for middle cut off 40%:

                                    Z @ 0.3 = -0.52

                                    Z @ 0.7 = 0.52

                                    [email protected] < x < [email protected]

                       -.52*86 + 1154 < x < 0.52*86 + 1154

                                  1109.28 < x < 1198.72

Write these numbers from least to greatest -0.615, -5/8, -0.62
inna [77]
Well -5/8 as a decimal would be -0.625.
So, the order would be -0.615 -0.62(0) and then -5/8 (or -0.625).
You could easily search up 5/8 as a decimal :)
