Answer:

9 years , 11 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Rachel deposited $5,960.32 into a savings account with an interest rate of 4.2% compounded twice a year

Apply compound interest formula

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

Where  P is the initial amount=$5,960.32

'r' is the rate of interest=4.2%=0.042

'n' is the compounding period=2

t is number of years

A is the amount after t years= 9000

Plug in all the values in the formula

9000=5960.32(1+\frac{0.042}{2})^{2t}

Divide both sides by 5960.32

\frac{9000}{5960.32} =(1.021)^{2t}

Take ln on both sides

ln(\frac{9000}{5960.32}) =ln((1.021)^{2t})

ln(\frac{9000}{5960.32}) =2tln((1.021))

Now divide both sides by ln(1.021)

19.82916538=2t

Divide both sides by 2

t=9.91458

1 year = 12 months

0.91458 times 12 = 11

So 9 years , 11 months

You need the compound interest formula solved for time:
Years = log (total / principal) / n * log (1 + rate / n)
Years = log (9,000 / 5,960.32) / 2 * log (1 + .042/2)
Years = log ( <span> <span> <span> 1.509986041</span></span></span>) / 2 * log (1.021)
Years =  0.1789729325 / 2 * 0.0090257420869
Years =  <span> <span> </span></span><span><span><span>0.1789729325 / 0.0180514842 </span> </span> </span>
<span><span><span>Years =  9.9145826746 </span> </span> </span>
the answer is "d"

Every time you conduct a hypothesis test, there are four possible outcomes of your decision to reject or not reject the null hyp
almond37 [142]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>1. A. You allow the passenger to board his flight when the passenger has a weapon.</u>

<u>2. B. You select the passenger for further inspection when the passenger has no weapon.</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

1. Remember, a Type I error in simple words means that the assumption "the passenger has a weapon" (null hypothesis) is <em>actually true,</em> but the airport security screener <em>incorrectly concluded it is false. </em>In other words, he assumed the passenger had no weapon and allowed the passenger to board his flight <u>when he actually did have one.</u>

<em>2. While, </em><em>a </em><em>Type II error </em><em>means that </em>the assumption "the passenger has a weapon" (null hypothesis) is <em>actually false, </em>but the airport security screener <em>incorrectly concluded it is true. </em>In other words, he assumed the passenger had a weapon and selected the passenger for further inspection <u>when he actually didn't have one.</u>

3 = 12/4
