Answer:

n = 1, this means the interest compounds ANNUALLY.

Step-by-step explanation:

Carlos deposited $7,924 into a savings account 30 years ago. The account has an interest rate of 4.6% and the balance is currently $30,541.83. How often does the interest compound?

Compound Interest Formula

: A = P(1 + r/n)^nt

A = Amount after time t

P = Principal (Initial Amount Invested)

r = Interest rate

n = Number of times the interest is compounded

t = time in years

A = $30,541.83

r = 4.6% = 0.046

t = 30

P = $7,924

Hence,

$30,541.83 = $7924(1 + 0.046/n)^30n

Divide both sides by 7924

$30,541.93/$7924 = (1 + 0.046/n)^30n

$30,541.93/$7924 = (n + 0.046/n)^30n

3.8543576477 = (n + 0.046/n)^30n

We take the logarithm of both sides

log 3.8543576477 = log (n + 0.046/n)^30n

Solving for n,

n = 1

Therefore, from the calculation above, since n = 1, this means the interest compounds ANNUALLY.

A 20 foot ladder leaning against a wall is used to reach a window that is 17 feet above the ground. How far from the wall is the
GarryVolchara [31]

The bottom of the ladder is 10.5 feet away from the wall

Step-by-step explanation:

The given scenario forms a right triangle.

Where

The length of ladder will be the hypotenuse

The wall on which the window is situated will ebt he perpendicular and

The distance between the foot of ladder and the wall will be the base

So,

Hypotenuse = H = 20 foot

Perpendicular = P = 17 feet

Base = B = ?

Using the Pythagoras theorem

H^2=P^2+B^2\\(20)^2=(17)^2+B^2\\400=289+B^2\\400-289=B^2\\B^2=111\\Taking\ square\ root\ on\ both\ sides\\\sqrt{B^2}=\sqrt{111}\\B=10.53\\Rounding\ off\ to\ the\ nearest\ tenth\\B=10.5

The bottom of the ladder is 10.5 feet away from the wall

A textbook company states that the average time a student needs to take a quiz from its book is 30 minutes with a standard devia
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

We conclude that her students, on average, do not take 30 minutes on the quiz, contrary to what the textbook company states.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Population mean; μ = 30 minutes

Population standard deviation; σ = 3 minutes

Sample size; n = 10

Sample mean; x¯ = 25

Significance level = 5% = 0.05

Let's define the hypotheses;

Null hypothesis; H0: μ = 30

Alternative hypothesis: Ha: μ ≠ 30

Let's find the test statistic;

z = (x¯ - μ)/(σ/√n)

z = (25 - 30)/(3/√10)

z = -5.27

From online p-value from z-score calculator attached using, z = -5.27, significance level = 0.05, two tailed hypothesis, we have;

p < 0.00001

This is less than the significance level, and so we will reject the null hypothesis and conclude that Her students, on average, do not take 30 minutes on the quiz, contrary to what the textbook company stated.
