Answer:

  • annually: 9.01 years
  • monthly: 8.69 years
  • daily: 8.67 years
  • continuously: 8.66 years

Step-by-step explanation:

For interest compounded in discrete intervals, the formula is ...

  A = P(1 +r/n)^(nt)

We want to find t for P=1 and A=2, so we have ...

  2 = (1 +r/n)^(nt)

  ln(2) = nt·ln(1+r/n)

  t = ln(2)/(n·ln(1+r/n))

A table of values for r=0.08 is attached.

__

For continuous compounding, the formula is ...

  A = Pe^(rt)

  t = ln(A/P)/r = ln(2)/0.08 ≈ 8.66434 . . . . years

__

  • annually: 9.01 years
  • monthly: 8.69 years
  • daily: 8.67 years
  • continuously: 8.66 years

If the distribution is really N ( 5.43 , 0.54 ) , N(5.43,0.54), what proportion of observations would be less than 5.05 ? 5.05?
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

P(X

And we can use the following excel code to find the answer: "=NORM.DIST(-0.704,0,1,TRUE)"

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

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".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest for a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(5.43,0.54)  

Where \mu=5.43 and \sigma=0.54

We are interested on this probability

P(X

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X

And we can find this probability on this way:

P(Z

And we can use the following excel code to find the answer: "=NORM.DIST(-0.704,0,1,TRUE)"

Grace is an hourly employee, and the line that models her total pay in dollars
tresset_1 [31]

Answer: Hello mate!

if x is the amount of hours worked, 45 is the slope and the y intercept is 35.

A linear equation has the form of y = ax + b, where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept, then the equation that we have is:

y = 45*x + 35

this means that she wins $45 per hour, and has a plane amount of $35, indiferent of the amount of hours worked.

Then the correct answer is

C) Grace's wage is $45 an hour, and it appears that she received a  signing bonus of $35.

solong [7]

Answer:

7.5 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimensions of the large ∆:

base (b) = 3cm, height (h) = 9cm

Area = 0.5*b*h = 0.5*3*9 = 13.5 cm^2

Dimensions of the small ∆:

base (b) = 2cm, height (h) = 6cm

Area = 0.5*b*h = 0.5*2*6 = 6 cm^2

Difference between the area of the large and the small ∆ = 13.5 - 6 = 7.5 cm²
