Answer: 49°, 49°, 82°

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let x represent the base angles

then 2x - 16 is the vertex angle.

Triangle Sum Theorem states that the sum of the angles is 180°

(x) + (x) + (2x - 16) = 180

4x - 16 = 180

4x = 196

x = 49

Base angles: x = 49

Vertex angle: 2(49) - 16 = 82

Find the balance in an account with $7,000 principal earning 5% interest compounded quarterly

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

The balance is $\$11,505.34$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The compound interest formula is equal to

$A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

where

A is the Final Investment Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest in decimal

t is Number of Time Periods

n is the number of times interest is compounded per year

in this problem we have

$t=10\ years\\ P=\$7,000\\ r=0.05\\n=4$

substitute in the formula above

$A=\$7,000(1+\frac{0.05}{4})^{4*10}=\$11,505.34$

You want to obtain a sample to estimate a population mean. Based on previous evidence, you believe the population standard devia

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

$n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{ME})^2$ (3)

$n=(\frac{2.58(54.5)}{5})^2 =790.846 \approx 791$

So the answer for this case would be n=791 rounded up to the nearest integer

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s represent the sample standard deviation

n represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

Since the Confidence is 0.99 or 99%, the value of $\alpha=0.01$ and $\alpha/2 =0.005$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.005,0,1)".And we see that $z_{\alpha/2}=2.58$
