Answer:

y = 5·4^x

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have two points, (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), whose relationship can be described by the exponential function ...

y = a·b^x

you can find the values of 'a' and 'b' as follows.

Substitute the given points:

y1 = a·b^(x1)

y2 = a·b^(x1)

Divide the second equation by the first:

y2/y1 = ((ab^(x2))/(ab^(x1)) = b^(x2 -x1)

Take the inverse power (root):

(y2/y1)^(1/(x2 -x1) = b

Use this value of 'b' to find 'a'. Here, we have solved the first equation for 'a'.

a = y1/(b^(x1))

In summary:

b = (y2/y1)^(1/(x2 -x1))
a = y1·b^(-x1)

For the problem at hand, (x1, y1) = (2, 80) and (x2, y2) = (5, 5120).

b = (5120/80)^(1/(5-2)) = ∛64 = 4

a = 80·4^(-2) = 80/16 = 5

The exponential function is ...

y = 5·4^x

A man invests a total of $9,493in two savings accounts. One account yields 9% simple interest and the other 10% simple interest.

Tju [1.3M]

$ 1850 was invested in 9% account

Solution:

Given that

Total amount invested by man in two saving accounts = $9493

Simple interest on one account =9%

Simple interest on second account = 10%

Total interest earned = $930.80

Need to determine amount invested in 9 % account.

Let assume amount invested in account where Simple Interest is 9% = x

And assume amount invested in account where Simple Interest is 10% = y

As total amount invested in two accounts is $9493

=> x + y = 9493

=> y = 9493 - x ------(1)

$\text { Simple Interest }=\frac{\text { Amount Invested } \times \text {rate of interest } \times \text {time}}{100}$

$\begin{array}{l}{\text { Simple interest when rate of interest is } 9 \%=\frac{x \times 9 \times 1}{100}=\frac{9 x}{100}} \\\\ {\text { Simple interest when rate of interest is } 10 \%=\frac{y \times 10 \times 1}{100}=\frac{10 y}{100}}\end{array}$

As total interest earned = $930.80

$\begin{array}{l}{\Rightarrow \frac{9 x}{100}+\frac{10 y}{100}=930.80} \\\\ {\Rightarrow 9 x+10 y=930.80 \times 100} \\\\ {\Rightarrow 9 x+10 y=93080}\end{array}$

On substituting value of y from equation(1) in above equation , we get

9x + 10 (9493 – x) = 93080

=> 9x + 94930 – 10x = 93080

=> -x = 93080 – 94930

=> -x = -1850

=> x = 1850

Amount invested in account where Simple Interest is 9% = x = $1850

Hence $1850 was invested in 9% account.

Answer:

Not independent

Step-by-step explanation:

For two events to be independent, they must not effect each other. For two independent events, changes in one of the event do not cause any change on the other event.

To explain it in terms of probability, let's first define and calculate the probabilities:

P(F) : Probability of facing felony

P(C) : Probability of going to college

P(F ∩ C) : Probability of facing felony and going to college

P(F° ∩ C): Probability of not facing a felony and going to college

Assume we have 100 students:

Faced felony = 0.3 * 100 = 30

Faced felony and go college = 30 * 0.4 = 12

Not faced felony = 0.7 * 100 = 70

Not faced felony and go college = 0.6 * 70 = 42

Total of going to college = 12 + 42 = 54

So P(C) = 54 / 100 = 0.54

If P(F)*P(C) = P(F ∩ C), then these two events are independent. If not, they are not independent.

Let's calculate the probabilities:

As given in the question, 30% of students face felony so P(F) = 0.3

P(C) = P(C ∩ F) + P(C ∩ F°) = 0.12 + 0.42 = 0.54

P(F) = 0.3

P(F ∩ C) = 0.12

P(F)*P(C) = 0.3 * 0.54 = 0.162 which ic not equal to P(F ∩ C). Therefore, these events are not independent.
