<span>We are not told how often the interest is compounded, so assuming it is <em /><u><em>compounded yearly</em></u>, you need to keep $9.99 in the account to pay the fee.
<u><em>Explanation: </em></u>
Compound interest follows the formula A=p(1+r)^t,
where:
A is the total amount in the account,
p is the amount of principal,
r is the interest rate as a decimal number,
and t is the number of years.
<u>For our problem: </u>
A = 9.99,
p is unknown,
r = 0.018% = 0.00018,
and t=1.
<u>This gives us: </u>
9.99=p(1+0.00018)^1;
9.99=p(1.00018).
<u>Divide both sides by 1.00018: </u>
9.99=p.</span>
Answer: discrete.
Step-by-step explanation:
Discrete variable
It is a variable whose value is evaluated by counting.
Example: Number of books published in a month.
Continuous variable
It is a variable whose value is evaluated by measuring ( not countable).
Example: Distance: 1.52 m
Since the number of dental visits a randomly chosen person had for the past 5 years is a countable.
here, Variable: Let X =number of dental visits a randomly chosen person had for the past 5 years
So, the random variable described is discrete.
Slope m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) < (FORMULA)
= (9-3)/(7+5)
= 1/2 or 0.5
