Answer: it will take 43.25 years

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for determining compound interest which is expressed as

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

Where

A = total amount in the account at the end of t years

r represents the interest rate.

n represents the periodic interval at which it was compounded.

P represents the principal or initial amount deposited

From the information given,

P = $1000

A = $10450

r = 5.5% = 5.5/100 = 0.055

n = 2 because it was compounded 2 times in a year.

Therefore,.

10450 = 1000(1 + 0.055/2)^2 × t

10450/1000 = (1 + 0.0275)^2t

10.45 = (1.0275)^2t

Taking log of both sides, it becomes

Log 10.45 = 2t log 1.0275

1.019 = 2t × 0.01178 = 0.02356t

t = 1.019/0.02356

t = 43.25 years

Test the claim that the proportion of people who own cats is significantly different than 80% at the 0.2 significance level. The
sattari [20]

Answer:

C. H0 : p = 0.8 H 1 : p ≠ 0.8

The test is:_____.

c. two-tailed

The test statistic is:______p ± z (base alpha by 2) \sqrt{\frac{pq}{n} }

The p-value is:_____. 0.09887

Based on this we:_____.

B. Reject the null hypothesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

We formulate null and alternative hypotheses as  proportion of people who own cats is significantly different than 80%.

H0 : p = 0.8 H 1 : p ≠ 0.8

The alternative hypothesis H1 is that the 80% of the  proportion is different and null hypothesis is , it is same.

For a two tailed test for significance level = 0.2 we have critical value  ± 1.28.

We have alpha equal to 0.2  for a two tailed test . We divided alpha with 2 to get the answer for a two tailed test. When divided by two it gives 0.1 and the corresponding value is ± 1.28

The test statistic is

p ± z (base alpha by 2) \sqrt{\frac{pq}{n} }

Where p = 0.8 , q = 1-p= 1-0.8= 0.2

n= 200

Putting the values

0.8 ± 1.28 \sqrt{\frac{0.8*0.2}{200} }

0.8 ± 0.03620

0.8362, 0.7638

As the calculated value of z lies within the critical region  we reject the null hypothesis.

1. You go to the local Sport Grill for quarter wings day.
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

If the 20% discount is by the hour then the answer would be $11.70 I think.

0.25x78= 19.50

19.50x0.20(20%)= 3.90

19.50-3.90-3.90= 11.70

Hope this helps!

Can someone help me with all this?? i really dont get it ​
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

A=78

B=102

C=78

Step-by-step explanation:

A= a and 102 are on a straight line so they add up to 180. 180-102=78. The same goes for C

B= the vertical angle for 102, or the same thing with a and c, just flipped around
