8 0

9514 1404 393

Answer:

180,651

Step-by-step explanation:

Each year, the population is multiplied by the factor 1 + 4% = 1.04. After 8 years, it will have been multiplied by that factor 8 times. We indicate repeated multiplication like that using an exponent.

population in 8 years = 132,000 × 1.04^8 ≈ 180,651

Anything withdrawn you subtract. Then, you know the total and you know what you had. Subtract total from what you had and you will see the change.

1735.97-100=1635.97

1668.71-1635.97=32.74

Evaluate the indefinite integral. (remember to use absolute values where appropriate. use c for the constant of integration.) dx

A report indicated that 37% of adults had received a bogus email intended to steal personal information. Suppose a random sample

Answer:

5.05% probability that no more than 34% had received such an email.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the binomial approximation to the normal to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .
