Probability is the chance of something occuring. 120% is not realistic in real world examples, because the probability standard ranges from "definitely will not happen" to "definitely will happen", meaning a 0% chance of it occurring to 100% chance of it occurring. The only time 100.0%+ will be applicable are typically in simulations, which allows for such to counterbalance any negatives percentages that is allocated to the target. However, in the real world, it will never go over 100%.

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

<u>The future value of this investment after 10 years is US$  5,152.58</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the data given to us for solving the question:

Investment = US$ 2,500

Annual interest rate = 7.5% compounded annually

Duration of the investment = 10 years

2. Let's find the future value of this investment after 10 years, using the following formula:

FV = PV * (1 + r) ⁿ

Replacing with the real values, we have:

FV = 2,500 * (1 + 0.075) ¹⁰

FV = 2,500 * 1.0075¹⁰

FV = 2,500 * 2.06103

<u>FV = US$ 5,152.58</u>

Why does -2 to the power of 3 produce the same answer as (-2) to the power of 3
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

because it's an odd exponent

Step-by-step explanation:

-2^3 = -(2*2*2)

(-2)^3 = (-2)*(-2)*(-2)

if it was ^4 the sign would be flipped:

-2^4 = -(2*2*2*2) = -16

(-2)^4 = (-2)*(-2)*(-2)*(-2) = 16

An aquifer holds 146,000 cubic feet of water. Water exits through a well at a steady rate of 500 cubic feet per day, and the aqu
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

The value of x = 100  ft^3/ day

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to look at what amount of water comes in and what amount of water leaves

What comes in:  x ft^3/ day

What leaves : 500x ft^3/ day

We start with 146 000 ft^3

Water in tank = what we start with + what comes in - what leaves

water in tank = 146000 + x*d - 500*d  where d is the number of days

After 365 days , the tank has 0 ft^3 of water

0  = 146000 + x*365 - 500*365

Multiply

0 = 146000 + 365x - 182500

Combine like terms

0 = -36500+365x

Add 36500 to each side

36500 = 36500-36500+365x

36500 = 365x

Divide by 365

36500/365 = 365x/365

100=x

The value of x = 100
