Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A)

d = r* t         Divide both sides by t

d/t = r

r = d/ t

B)

d = 800000

t = 4 hours

r = 800000 / 4

r = 200000 meters/hour

C

r = 200000 meters / hour * [ 1 km / 1000 meters]

r = 200 km / hr

D

I imagine you are more familiar (especially if you live anywhere but the states) with 200 km/ hour. I am very doubtful that any bird can keep that up for 4 hours. 200 km / hour is equal to about 125 miles / hour. There are few places that will allow a car to travel at that speed. You should be using km/hour because you (should) be more familiar with the units.

debt payments of $800 due now and $1400 due in 5 months are to be repaid by a payment of $1000 in 3 months and a final payment i
loris [4]

Answer:

$1,304.70

Step-by-step explanation:

If interest 6% annually, monthly is 0.5%.

The debt in 5 months will be 800 plus compounded interest for 5 months plus new due debt

800(1.005)^5+1400=2220.201

In 3 more months the debt will be 2220.201 plus compounded interest for 3 months minus payment

2220.201(1.005)^3-1000=1253.67

After 8 months the debt would be 1253.67 plus compounded interest for 8 months

2220.201(1.005)^3=1304.70

Then the size of the final payment would be $1,304.70

A normally distributed random variable with mean 4.5 and standard deviation 7.6 is sampled to get two independent values, X1 and
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Bias for the estimator = -0.56

Mean Square Error for the estimator = 6.6311

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - A normally distributed random variable with mean 4.5 and standard deviation 7.6 is sampled to get two independent values, X1 and X2. The mean is estimated using the formula (3X1 + 4X2)/8.

To find - Determine the bias and the mean squared error for this estimator of the mean.

Proof -

Let us denote

X be a random variable such that X ~ N(mean = 4.5, SD = 7.6)

Now,

An estimate of mean, μ is suggested as

\mu = \frac{3X_{1} + 4X_{2}  }{8}

Now

Bias for the estimator = E(μ bar) - μ

                                    = E( \frac{3X_{1} + 4X_{2}  }{8}) - 4.5

                                    = \frac{3E(X_{1}) + 4E(X_{2})}{8} - 4.5

                                    = \frac{3(4.5) + 4(4.5)}{8} - 4.5

                                    = \frac{13.5 + 18}{8} - 4.5

                                    = \frac{31.5}{8} - 4.5

                                    = 3.9375 - 4.5

                                    = - 0.5625 ≈ -0.56

∴ we get

Bias for the estimator = -0.56

Now,

Mean Square Error for the estimator = E[(μ bar - μ)²]

                                                             = Var(μ bar) + [Bias(μ bar, μ)]²

                                                             = Var( \frac{3X_{1} + 4X_{2}  }{8}) + 0.3136

                                                             = \frac{1}{64} Var( {3X_{1} + 4X_{2}  }) + 0.3136

                                                             = \frac{1}{64} ( [{3Var(X_{1}) + 4Var(X_{2})]  }) + 0.3136

                                                             = \frac{1}{64} [{3(57.76) + 4(57.76)}]  } + 0.3136

                                                             = \frac{1}{64} [7(57.76)}]  } + 0.3136

                                                             = \frac{1}{64} [404.32]  } + 0.3136

                                                             = 6.3175 + 0.3136

                                                              = 6.6311

∴ we get

Mean Square Error for the estimator = 6.6311

In two or more complete sentences explain how you would set up and solve the following equation: Peter opened his account with $
Lilit [14]
What you would do is you would keep subtracting (I recommend a calculator for this task) from both accounts until you get an equal amount for each. You would also have to record this down that way you know each time what you got. (And please do not put the calculator part). Really hope this helps!!!
