Answer:

8%: $1554

21%: $2446

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simple interest problem.

The simple interest formula is given by:

E = P*I*t

In which E are the earnings, P is the principal(the initial amount of money), I is the interest rate(yearly, as a decimal) and t is the time.

After t years, the total amount of money is:

T = E + P.

In this question:

Two earnings, that i am going to call A(8% per year) and B(21% per year).

Two principals, for A i am going to call P and for B it is the rest, so 4000 - P.

A:

One year, so t = 1

8% interest, so r = 0.08

Earnings A.

A = P*I*t

A = 0.08P

B:

21% interest, so r = 0.21

Principal (4000 - P).

B = P*I*t

B = 0.21*(4000 - P)

You'd like to earn exactly $638 in interest each year.

This means that A + B = 638

Then

B = 638 - A

Now we have to solve the following system:

A = 0.08P

638 - A = 0.21*(4000 - P)

So, on the second equation:

A = 638 - 0.21*(4000 - P)

Replacing on the first:

A = 0.08P

638 - 0.21*(4000 - P) = 0.08P

638 - 840 + 0.21P = 0.08P

0.21P - 0.08P = 840 - 638

0.13P = 202

P = \frac{202}{0.13}

P = 1553.8

Rounding up to the nearest integer

P = 1554.

So on A, the 8% interest, you invest $1554.

On B, the 21% interest, you invest 4000 - 1554 = $2446.

A researcher wants to see if birds that build larger nests lay larger eggs. He selects two random samples of nests: one of small
True [87]

Answer:

95% confidence interval for the difference between the average mass of eggs in small and large nest is between a lower limit of 0.81 and an upper limit of 2.39.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval is given by mean +/- margin of error (E)

Eggs from small nest

Sample size (n1) = 60

Mean = 37.2

Sample variance = 24.7

Eggs from large nest

Sample size (n2) = 159

Mean = 35.6

Sample variance = 39

Pooled variance = [(60-1)24.7 + (159-1)39] ÷ (60+159-2) = 7619.3 ÷ 217 = 35.11

Standard deviation = sqrt(pooled variance) = sqrt(35.11) = 5.93

Difference in mean = 37.2 - 35.6 = 1.6

Degree of freedom = n1+n2 - 2 = 60+159-2 = 217

Confidence level = 95%

Critical value (t) corresponding to 217 degrees of freedom and 95% confidence level is 1.97132

E = t×sd/√(n1+n2) = 1.97132×5.93/√219 = 0.79

Lower limit = mean - E = 1.6 - 0.79 = 0.81

Upper limit = mean + E = 1.6 + 0.79 = 2.39

95% confidence interval for the difference in average mass is (0.81, 2.39)

How do you multiply and divide fractions? please explain in depth with examples.​
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

To multiply fractions, all you have to do is multiply the numerators and denominators and simplify the result. To divide fractions, you simply have to flip the numerator and denominator of one of the fractions, multiply the result by the other fraction, and simplify.

Whats 70-3x6+9 I need the answer plz
kumpel [21]

70-3·6+9

Remember PEMDAS.

You must multiply the 3 and 6 together, and you would get 18.

Then, you subtract 18 from 70, which would give you 52.

And finally, you would add 9 to 52, getting 61 as your final answer.
