Answer:

A) Amount in the account after 3 years = $ 7, 883.14

B)  Interest earned = $ 883.14

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to be used is given as

A = P ( 1 + r/n)^nt

A = final amount

P = initial principal balance

r = interest rate

n = number of times interest applied per time period

t = number of time periods elapsed

In the question we are given the following values :

A = final amount = Unknown

P = initial principal balance = $7,000

r = interest rate = 4% = 0.04

n = number of times interest applied per time period = semi annually , n= 2

t = number of time periods elapsed = 3 years

A) Find how much money there will be in the account after the given number of years.

A = P ( 1 + r/n)^nt

A = $7,000 (1 + 0.04/2)²×³

A = $7,000( 1+ 0.04/2)⁶

A = $7,000( 1.02)⁶

A = $ 7,883.14

The amount in the account after 3 years = $ 7,883.14

B. Find the interest earned.

To find the interest earned, we use the formula

A = P + I where

P (principal) = $ 7,000.00

A (Amount after 3 years) = $ 7,883.14

I = A - P

I = $ 7,883.14 - $ 7,000.00

I =$ 883.14

The interest earned = $ 883.14

Audrey, an astronomer is searching for extra-solar planets using the technique of relativistic lensing. Though there are believe
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The model N (t), the number of planets found up to time t, as a Poisson process. So, the N (t) has distribution of Poison distribution with parameter (\lambda t)

a)

The mean for a month is, \lambda = \frac{1}{3} per month

E[N(t)]= \lambda t\\\\=\frac{1}{3}(24)\\\\=8

(Here. t = 24)

For Poisson process mean and variance are same,

Var[N (t)]= Var[N(24)]\\= E [N (24)]\\=8

 

(Poisson distribution mean and variance equal)

 

The standard deviation of the number of planets is,

\sigma( 24 )] =\sqrt{Var[ N(24)]}=\sqrt{8}= 2.828

b)

For the Poisson process the intervals between events(finding a new planet) have  independent  exponential  distribution with parameter \lambda. The  sum  of K of these  independent exponential has distribution Gamma (K, \lambda).

From the given information, k = 6 and \lambda =\frac{1}{3}

Calculate the expected value.

E(x)=\frac{\alpha}{\beta}\\\\=\frac{K}{\lambda}\\\\=\frac{6}{\frac{1}{3}}\\\\=18

(Here, \alpha =k and \beta=\lambda)                                                                      

C)

Calculate the probability that she will become eligible for the prize within one year.

Here, 1 year is equal to 12 months.

P(X ≤ 12) = (1/Г  (k)λ^k)(x)^(k-1).(e)^(-x/λ)

=\frac{1}{Г  (6)(\frac{1}{3})^6}(12)^{6-1}e^{-36}\\\\=0.2148696\\=0.2419\\=21.49%

Hence, the required probability is 0.2149 or 21.49%

The two lines graphed below are parallel. How many solutions are there to the system of equations?
coldgirl [10]

Solutions just means the amount of times the lines intersect, so there are no solutions. Since the lines are parallel, they’re going the exact same direction forever and ever, never intersecting. Hope this helps!
