Answer: altitude at starting point is -11ft or 11ft below sea level
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation for this situation will be
A = Ag - 11
A = actual altitude
Ag = altitude gained.
At starting point, altitude gained is zero, therefore;
A = 0 - 11
A = -11ft

What principal invested at 8% compounded continuously for 4 years will yield $1190?
zhuklara [117]
For continuously compounded interest:

Amount = Principle * e^(rate * time)

A rate of 8% converted to a decimal value: r=0.08
With time t=4
and amount 1190

Plug all these values in,

1190 = Principle * e^(0.08 * 4)

And use your calculator to solve for the principle.
Maybe we'll call it P to make things easier.

1190 = P * e^(0.08 * 4)
1190 = P * 1.377

The principle is being multiplied by this 1.377,
divide by 1.377 to undo the multiplication.

864.11735 = P

A restaurant decides to test their oven's thermostat to see if it is working properly, that is, if the actual temperature inside
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

For this case we have information from a sample of n =20 times of temperatures of the oven

The parameter of interest is \mu population temperature mean of the oven

And the statistic is calculated with this formula:

\bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}

With n = 20 and represent the mean temperature of the oven  

The correct option for this case is:

mu = the true mean temperature of the oven xbar = the true mean temperature of the oven

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Parameter represent a property of a population and is calculated with the information of all the populatio. Some examples are the population mean and deviation \mu,\sigma

Statistic represent a propoerty of a sample and are used used in order to describe the population parameters, since represent estimators of the real parameters.

Solution to the problem

For this case we have information from a sample of n =20 times of temperatures of the oven

The parameter of interest is \mu population temperature mean of the oven

And the statistic is calculated with this formula:

\bar X = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}

With n = 20 and represent the mean temperature of the oven  

The correct option for this case is:

mu = the true mean temperature of the oven xbar = the true mean temperature of the oven
