Answer:
18.7 years
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a compound interest problem and the following variables have been given;
Principal = 4000; this is the amount o be invested
APR = 9%; this is the compound interest to be earned
Accumulated amount = 20,000
We are required to determine the duration in years. We apply the compound interest formula;
The next step is to introduce natural logarithms in order to determine n;
The number of years required is thus 18.7 years
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
Your study variable is X: "number of ColorSmart-5000 that didn't need repairs after 5 years of use, in a sample of 390"
X~Bi (n;ρ)
ρ: population proportion of ColorSmart-5000 that didn't need repairs after 5 years of use. ρ = 0.95
n= 390
x= 303
sample proportion ^ρ: x/n = 303/390 = 0.776 ≅ 0.78
Applying the Central Limit Theorem you approximate the distribution of the sample proportion to normal to obtain the statistic to use.
You are asked to estimate the population proportion of televisions that didn't require repairs with a confidence interval, the formula is:
^ρ±* √[(^ρ(1-^ρ))/n]
=
= 2.58
0.78±2.58* √[(0.78(1-0.78))/390]
0.0541
[0.726;0.834]
With a confidence level of 99% you'd expect that the interval [0.726;0.834] contains the true value of the proportion of ColorSmart-5000 that didn't need repairs after 5 years of use.
I hope it helps!
