Answer:

a) $520

b) $580

c) Interest amount is same each year

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - Georgie put $500 in her savings account, earning interest at a rate of 4% each year. She did not make any more deposits or withdrawals.

To find - a) How much money was in the account after one year?

b) How much money was in the account after 4 years?

c) Was the amount of money earned in interest the same or different each year?

Proof -

Here given that,

Principal amount = $500

rate of interest = 4% = 4/100 = 0.04

Now,

a)

Amount = P [ 1 + RT ]

= 500 [ 1 + 0.04(1)]

= 500 [ 1 + 0.04] = 520

⇒Amount = $520

b)

Amount = P [ 1 + RT ]

= 500 [ 1 + 0.04(4)]

= 500 [ 1 + 0.16] = 580

⇒Amount = $580

c)

In 2nd year,

Amount = P [ 1 + RT ]

= 500 [ 1 + 0.04(2)]

= 500 [ 1 + 0.08] = 540

⇒Amount = $540

Now,

Interest in 1st year = 520 - 500 = 20

Interest in 2nd year = 540 - 520 = 20

So,

The interest amount is same each year

A,B and C are the vertices of one triangle.

dsp73

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The triangle with coordinate A(4,6), B(2,-2) and C(-2,-4). D is the mid point of AB and E is the mid point of AC.

To prove: DE is parallel to BC.

Construction: Join DE.

Proof: If we prove the basic proportionality theorem that is $\frac{AD}{DB}=\frac{AE}{EC}$ , then it proves that DE is parallel to BC.

Now, Mid Point D has coordinates= $(\frac{4+2}{2},\frac{6-2}{2})=(3,2)$ and Mid Point E has coordinates= $(\frac{4-2}{2},\frac{6-4}{2})=(1,1)$

Now, AD= $\sqrt{(4-3)^{2}+(6-2)^{2}}=\sqrt{17}$

DB= $\sqrt{(3-2)^{2}+(2+2)^{2}}=\sqrt{17}$

AE= $\sqrt{(4-1)^{2}+(6-1)^{2}}=\sqrt{34}$

EC= $\sqrt{(1+2)^{2}+(1+4)^{2}}=\sqrt{34}$

Now, $\frac{AD}{DB}=\frac{AE}{EC}$

= $\frac{\sqrt{17}}{\sqrt{17}}=\frac{\sqrt{34}}{\sqrt{34}}=\frac{1}{1}$

Hence, $\frac{AD}{DB}=\frac{AE}{EC}$

Thus, By basic proportionality theorem, DE is parallel to BC.

Some research suggests that police officers are more likely to make an arrest in the presence of bystanders. If mentally disorde

zmey [24]

Answer:

$t=\frac{7.03-3.58}{\frac{9.42}{\sqrt{20}}}=1.638$

$p_v =P(t_{(19)}>1.638)=0.0589$

If we compare the p value and the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we see that $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can conclude that the true mean is not significantly higher than 3.58 at 5% of signficance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

$\bar X=7.03$ represent the sample mean

$s=9.42$ represent the sample standard deviation

$n=20$ sample size

$\mu_o =3.58$ represent the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.01$ represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean is higher than 3.58 :

Null hypothesis: $\mu \leq 3.58$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu > 3.58$

Since we don't know the population deviation, is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:

$t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".

Calculate the statistic

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:

$t=\frac{7.03-3.58}{\frac{9.42}{\sqrt{20}}}=1.638$

P-value

First we need to calculate the degrees of freedom given by:

$df=n-1=20-1=19$

Since is a right tailed test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(t_{(19)}>1.638)=0.0589$

Conclusion

If we compare the p value and the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we see that $p_v>\alpha$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can conclude that the true mean is not significantly higher than 3.58 at 5% of signficance.
