Procedure:

1) calculate the number of diferent teams of four members that can be formed (with the ten persons)
2) calculate the number of teams tha meet the specification (two girls and two boys)
3) Divide the positive events by the total number of events: this is the result of 2) by the result in 1)

Solution

1) the number of teams of four members that can be formed are:

10*9*8*7 / (4*3*2*1) = 210

2) Number of different teams with 2 boys and 2 girls = ways of chosing 2 boys * ways of chosing 2 girls

Ways of chosing 2 boys = 6*5/2 = 15
Ways of chosing 2 girls = 4*3/2 = 6

Number of different teams with 2 boys and 2 girls = 15 * 6 = 90

3) probability of choosing one of the 90 teams formed by 2 boys and 2 girls:

90/210 = 3/7

4400 dollars is placed in an account with an annual interest rate of 7.5%. To the nearest tenth of a year, how long will it take
Katarina [22]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the amount of money in an account after a certain amount is deposited and compounded after t years once per year is

A(t)=P(1+r)^t

Our A(t) = 33800, P = 4400, r = .075 and we are looking for t.  Filling in:

33800=4400(1+.075)^t and

33800=4400(1.075)^t

Begin by dividing both sides by 4400 to get

7.681818182=1.075^t

The only way to move that t our from its current position as an exponent is to take the natural log of both sides and follow the rules for natural logs:

ln(7.6181818182=ln(1.075)^t

The power rule of natural logs says we can move that exponent down in front, giving us:

ln(7.681818182)=t*ln(1.075)

Divide both sides by ln(1.075) to get

\frac{ln(7.61818182)}{ln(1.075)} =t

Do this division on your calculator to get

t = 28.2 years
