Answer:

(351.04, 368.96)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that population mean= 360

Std devitaion = 4

margin of error = 2.5%= 0.025

Since population std deviation is known we can use Z critical value

For two tailed critical value for 2.5% would be

2.24

Margin of error = ±Critical value*std deviation

= ±2.24(4)

= ±8.96

Confidence interval =(Mean - margin of error, mean + margin of error)

= $(360-8.96, 360+8,.96)\\= (351.04, 368.96)$

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

This means that the coach should have the team going for the 2 point shot. There is a 36% probability of making the 2 point shot and winning overtime.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities:

A 60% probability of tying the game on a 2 point shot. In this case, the game goes to overtime, in which the team has a 60% probability of winning.

A 30% probability of making the 3 point shot and winning.

What should the coach do, go for the 2 point shot or the 3 point shot?

In which case the team has a higher probability of winning?

The team has:

A 60% probability of tying the game on a 2 point shot. In this case, the game goes to overtime, in which the team has a 60% probability of winning. So, going for the 2 point shot, the team has a 0.6*0.6 = 0.36 = 36% probability of winning.

Going for the 3 point shot, the team has a 30% probability of winning.

This means that the coach should have the team going for the 2 point shot. There is a 36% probability of making the 2 point shot and winning overtime.

Jimmy invests $500 in an account with a 3% interest rate, making no other deposits or withdrawals. What will Jimmy’s account bal

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

Jimmy's account balance will be $673.43 after 10 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

The compound interest formula is given by:

$A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

Where A is the amount of money, P is the principal(the initial sum of money), r is the interest rate(as a decimal value), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per unit t and t is the time the money is invested or borrowed for.

In this problem, we have that:

$P = 500, r = 0.03, n = 2, t = 10$
