Answer:

9.72% probability that among the next 7 theft cases reported in this district, exactly 3 of them resulted from the need to buy drugs.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each theft, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the need to buy drugs is the reason of the theft, or it is not. Each theft is independent of each other. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

In a certain city district the need for money to buy drugs is stated as the reason for 70% of all thefts.

This means that p = 0.7

Find the probability that among the next 7 theft cases reported in this district, exactly 3 of them resulted from the need to buy drugs.

This is P(X = 3) when n = 7. So

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 3) = C_{7,3}.(0.7)^{3}.(0.3)^{4} = 0.0972

9.72% probability that among the next 7 theft cases reported in this district, exactly 3 of them resulted from the need to buy drugs.

When the new principal on a loan is $79,946.13 and the interest rate is 8 percent, the monthly payment is $587.20. Find the inte
lesya [120]

Answer:

  • to interest: $532.97
  • to principal: $54.23
  • new balance: $79,891.90

Step-by-step explanation:

The interest is found by multiplying the monthly rate by the balance on the loan. For the first month, the balance is the loan amount.

  $79,946.13 × 0.08 ×(1/12) . . . . . one month = 1/12 year

  = $532.97

The interest amount in the first payment is $532.97.

__

The amount of the first payment that goes to principal is what is left after the interest is paid:

  $587.20 -532.97 = $54.23 . . . amount to principal

__

The new balance is the previous balance less the amount to principal:

  $79,946.13 -54.23 = $79,891.90 . . . new balance
