Answer:

£2,121.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following;

Principal P = £2000

Rate r = 3%

Time t = 2 years

n = 1 (time of compounding)

Using the compound interest formula;

A = P(1+r)^t

A = 2000(1+0.03)^2

A = 2000(1.03)^2

A = 2000(1.0609)

A = 2,121.8

hence the amount that will be in his account after 2 years is £2,121.8

<h3>Answer: 3^5</h3>

Explanation:

The rule used is $\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^{-c} = \left(\frac{b}{a}\right)^{c}$

That rule says to go from a negative exponent to a positive exponent, we apply the reciprocal of the fraction.

So,

$\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^{-5} = \left(\frac{3}{1}\right)^{5} = 3^5$

Halloween Candy Halloween is Kelly's favorite holiday of the year! Based on experience, Kelly knows that on average, each house

Using the <u>normal distribution and the central limit theorem</u>, it is found that there is an approximately 0% probability that the total number of candies Kelly will receive this year is smaller than last year.

Normal Probability Distribution

In a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

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

It 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, which is the percentile of X.
By the Central Limit Theorem, for n instances of a normal variable, the mean is $n\mu$ while the standard deviation is $s = \sigma\sqrt{n}$ .

In this problem:

Mean of 4 candies, hence $\mu = 4$ .
Standard deviation of 1.5 candies, hence $\sigma = 1.5$ .
She visited 35 houses, hence $n = 35, \mu = 35(4) = 140, s = 1.5\sqrt{4} = 3$
