Answer: 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Sam has to memorize 1/2 of his lines and he memorizes 1/3 of his lines today, the fractions of his lines that he has left to memorize will be gotten by subtracting 1/3 from 1/2. This will be:

= 1/2 - 1/3

= 3/6 - 2/6

= 1/6

Therefore, he has 1/6 of his lines left to memorize.

Answer:

1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

The fractions of his lines will he have left to memorize is calculated as:

Number of lines he has to memorize - Number of line he memorized today

Number of lines he has to memorize = 1/2

Number of line he memorized today = 1/3

Hence,

= 1/2 - 1/3

Lowest Common Denominator = 6

= 3 - 2/6

= 1/6

A researcher wants to estimate the percentage of all adults that have used the Internet to seek pre-purchase information in the

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The required sample size for the new study is 801.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

The margin of error is:

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

25% of all adults had used the Internet for such a purpose

This means that $\pi = 0.25$

95% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.05$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975$ , so $Z = 1.96$ .

What is the required sample size for the new study?

This is n for which M = 0.03. So

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

$0.03 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.25*0.75)}{n}}$

$0.03\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{0.25*0.75}$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{0.25*0.75}}{0.03}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.25*0.75}}{0.03})^2$

$n = 800.3$

Rounding up:

The required sample size for the new study is 801.

Prove by mathematical induction that 1+2+3+...+n= n(n+1)/2 please can someone help me with this ASAP. Thanks

Iteru [2.4K]

Let

$P(n):\ 1+2+\ldots+n = \dfrac{n(n+1)}{2}$

In order to prove this by induction, we first need to prove the base case, i.e. prove that P(1) is true:

$P(1):\ 1 = \dfrac{1\cdot 2}{2}=1$

So, the base case is ok. Now, we need to assume $P(n)$ and prove $P(n+1)$ .

$P(n+1)$ states that

$P(n+1):\ 1+2+\ldots+n+(n+1) = \dfrac{(n+1)(n+2)}{2}=\dfrac{n^2+3n+2}{2}$

Since we're assuming $P(n)$ , we can substitute the sum of the first n terms with their expression:

$\underbrace{1+2+\ldots+n}_{P(n)}+n+1 = \dfrac{n(n+1)}{2}+n+1=\dfrac{n(n+1)+2n+2}{2}=\dfrac{n^2+3n+2}{2}$

Which terminates the proof, since we showed that

$P(n+1):\ 1+2+\ldots+n+(n+1) =\dfrac{n^2+3n+2}{2}$

To offset college expenses, at the beginning of your freshman year you obtain a nonsubsidized student loan for $15,000. Interest

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

15000(1.003425)^12t ;

4.11%

4.188%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Loan amount = principal = $15000

Interest rate, r = 4.11% = 0.0411

n = number of times compounded per period, monthly = 12 (number of months in a year)

Total amount, F owed, after t years in college ;

F(t) = P(1 + r/n)^nt

F(t) = 15000(1 + 0.0411/12)^12t

F(t) = 15000(1.003425)^12t

2.) The annual percentage rate is the interest rate without compounding = 4.11%

3.)

The APY

APY = (1 + APR/n)^n - 1

APY = (1 + 0.0411/12)^12 - 1

APY = (1.003425)^12 - 1

APY = 1.04188 - 1

APY = 0.04188

APY = 0.04188 * 100% = 4.188%
