Yanka [14]

Answer:

n =   ㏒ P ÷ ㏒ (1.08)

Explanation:

Compound interest rate

A = P × (1 + r)^{n}

where

P = principal amount (the initial amount you borrow or deposit)

r  = annual rate of interest (as a decimal)

A = amount of money accumulated after n years, including interest.

n  =  number of years

Since we want the principle amount to double i.e., A = 2P

put this in above equation

2P = P × (1 + r)^{n}

divide both sides by P, we get

P = (1 + r)^{n}

put r = 0.08

P = (1 + 0.08)^{n}

P = (1 .08)^{n}

Taking log on both sides

㏒ P =㏒ (1 .08)^{n}

㏒ P = n ㏒ (1.08)

n =   ㏒ P ÷ ㏒ (1.08)

The answer to the question above is "brand names cause consumers to be more sensitive to product differences" based on the result of Roberto's taste test. In the blind test, Roberto did not feel the unsavory flavor from the generic store-coke and he prefers that generic store-coke. This test proves that Roberto's taste is distracted by the brand.
