Answer: $135

Explanation:

First find the future value of the proceeds.

= 10,000 * (1 + 5%)⁷

= $14,071

The monthly payments are equal so X is an annuity and as the payment is made immediately, this is an Annuity due.

Convert the interest rate into monthly figure:

= 3%/12

= 0.25%

Present value of annuity = Annuity * (( 1 - (1 + r)^-n ) / r) * (1 + r)

14,071 = Annuity * ((1 - (1 + 0.25%) ⁻¹²⁰) / 0.25%) * (1 + 0.25%)

14,071 = Annuity * 103.82

Annuity = 14,071 / 103.82

= $135.53

= $135

Two gamblers bet $1 each on the successive tosses of acoin. Each has a bank of $6. What is the probability that:a They break eve
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Part a: The probability of breaking even in 6 tosses is 0.3125.

Part b: The probability that one payer wins all the money after the 10th toss is 0.0264.

Explanation:

Part a

P(success)=1/2=0.5

P(Failure)=1/2=0.5

Now for the break-even at the sixth toss

P(Break Even)=P(3 success out of 6)

P(3 success out of 6)

=^6C_3/(2^6)\\=5/16\\=0.3125

So the probability of breaking even in 6 tosses is 0.3125.

Part b:

So the probability that one of the player wins all the money after the 10th toss is given as the tenth toss is given as a win so

Wins in 9 tosses is given as 9!/7!=72

The probability that the other person wins

Wins in 8 out of 10 tosses is given as 10!/8!(10-8)!=10!/8!2!=45

So the probability of all the money is won by one of the gambler after the 10th toss is given as

P=number of wins in 9 tosses-Number of wins in 10 tosses/total number of tosses

P=(72-45)/2^16

P=0.0264

So the probability that one payer wins all the money after the 10th toss is 0.0264.
