Answer:
11 half years
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for compound interest is
A = P(1+r/n)^(nt), with r representing the interest rate, n being the number of times interest is applied over the time period, and t being the amount of time periods.
If we make the time period a half year (so interest is compounded once per time period), n=2. Then, our interest rate is 7%, or 0.07 (to convert from percent to decimal, simply divide by 100). Our starting amount is 500, and we want it to double, making it 1000. Our formula is thus
1000 = 500 (1+0.07)^(t)
divide both sides by 500
2 = (1+0.07)^(t)
2 = (1.07)^(t)
Using logarithms, we can say that
[tex]log_{1.07} 2 = t[/tex]
and using a calculator, we get
10.24 = t
Since interest is only compounded once per time period, though, we have to round up to make sure it doubles, so t = 11
Peter is 8 years younger than Alex. In 9 years time, the sum of their ages will be 76 . How old is Alex now?
Answer:
Peter is a-8 in 9 years, (a-8)+ 9+ a+ 9= 76
Answer:
P = 25
A = 33
Step-by-step explanation:
P + 8 = A
P + 9 + A + 9 = 76
P + A = 58
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
P = 58 - A
P = 58 - P - 8
2 P = 50
P = 25
A = 33
The life of light bulbs is distributed normally. The standard deviation of the lifetime is 15 hours and the mean lifetime of a bulb is 520 hours. Find the probability of a bulb lasting for at most 528 hours. Round your answer to four decimal places.
Answer:
0.7031 = 70.31% probability of a bulb lasting for at most 528 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Normal Probability Distribution
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
The standard deviation of the lifetime is 15 hours and the mean lifetime of a bulb is 520 hours.
This means that [tex]\sigma = 15, \mu = 520[/tex]
Find the probability of a bulb lasting for at most 528 hours.
This is the p-value of Z when X = 528. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{528 - 520}{15}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.533[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.533[/tex] has a p-value of 0.7031
0.7031 = 70.31% probability of a bulb lasting for at most 528 hours.
A strawberry farmer in Poteet knows that 1/8 of his strawberries are typically not fit to sell at the market (either because they went bad or are too unusually shaped). The farmer takes a random sample of 156 strawberries to inspect for the upcoming farmer's market and finds that 24 are unfit to sell. If he were to go back and pick 1000 more strawberries to inspect for the market, how would the standard deviation of the sample proportion be affected
Answer:
It would be smaller.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
The number of the strawberries that are unfit for sell, x = 24
The total number of the strawberries to inspect, n = 156
Total number of the strawberries to be picked = 1000 strawberries
Therefore,
[tex]$\widehat p =\frac{x}{n}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{24}{156}$[/tex]
= 0.1538
[tex]$\widehat p =\frac{x}{n}$[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{24}{1000}$[/tex]
= 0.024
Therefore, the standard deviation of the sample proportion would be smaller.
. A small home business is set up with an investment of Birr 1,000,000 for equipment. The business manufactures a product at a cost of Birr 60 per unit. If the product sells for Birr 140, how many units must be sold before the business breaks even?
Answer:
12,500
Step-by-step explanation:
P = R-E
b.e.p : P=0
R=E
140x = 1000000 + 60 x
80x = 1000000
x=12,500

Exercise 2.2.3: The cardinality of a power set. (a) What is the cardinality of P({1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6})
Answer:
Cardinality of the power set of the given set = [tex]2^6=64[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Power set is the set of all the possible subsets that can be formed from the given set including the null set and the set itself.
Example set:
{1,2,3}
All the possible subsets of this set:
{}; {1}; {2}; {3}; {1,2,3}; {1,2}; {1,3}; {2,3}
The power set of the above set is written as:
P({ {}, {1}, {2}, {3}, {1,2}, {1,3}, {2,3}, {1,2,3} })
Since the no. of elements in the above power set in this example is 8 therefore its cardinality is 8.
Cardinality of the power set of a given set is expressed by a formula: [tex]2^n[/tex]
where n is the cardinality (no. of elements) of the given set whose power set is to be formed for determining cardinality of the power set.
Hence in the given case, we have n = 6.
can anyone help with this please !!!!
Answer:
"Add equations A and B to eliminate [tex]y[/tex]. Add equations A and C to eliminate [tex]y[/tex]".
Step-by-step explanation:
Let be the following system of linear equations:
[tex]4\cdot x + 4\cdot y + z = 24[/tex] (1)
[tex]2\cdot x - 4\cdot y +z = 0[/tex] (2)
[tex]5\cdot x - 4\cdot y - 5\cdot z = 12[/tex] (3)
1) We eliminate [tex]y[/tex] by adding (1) and (2):
[tex](4\cdot x + 2\cdot x) +(4\cdot y - 4\cdot y) + (z + z) = 24 + 0[/tex]
[tex]6\cdot x +2\cdot z = 24[/tex] (4)
2) We eliminate [tex]y[/tex] by adding (1) and (3):
[tex](4\cdot x + 5\cdot x) +(4\cdot y - 4\cdot y) +(z -5\cdot z) = (24 + 12)[/tex]
[tex]9\cdot x -4\cdot z = 36[/tex] (5)
Hence, the correct answer is "Add equations A and B to eliminate [tex]y[/tex]. Add equations A and C to eliminate [tex]y[/tex]".
if x+y=12 and xy =27,then find the value of x^2+y^2
PLEASE HELP !
Answer:
90
Step-by-step explanation:
=> x + y = 12
=> x² + y² + 2xy = 144
=> x² + y² + 2 * 27 = 144
=> x² + y² = 144 - 54
=> x² + y² = 90

The top and bottom ends of a windshield wiper blade are R = 24 in. and r = 14 in., respectively, from the pivot point. While in operation, the wiper sweeps through 135°. Find the area swept by the blade. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
Answer:
Area swept by the blade = 448[tex]in^{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The arc the wiper wipes is for 135 degrees angle.
So, find area of sector with radius 24 inches. And the find area of arc with r=14 inches.
Then subtract the area of sector with 14 inches from area of sector with radius as 24 inches.
So, area of sector with r=24 in =[tex]\frac{135}{360} *\pi *24^{2}[/tex]
Simplify it,
=216[tex]\pi[/tex]
Now, let's find area of sector with radius 14 inches
Area of sector with r=14 in = [tex]\frac{135}{360} *\pi *14^{2}[/tex]
Simplify it
=73.5[tex]\pi[/tex]
So, area swept by the blade = 216[tex]\pi[/tex] -73.5[tex]\pi[/tex]
Simplify it and use pi as 3.14.....
Area of swept =678.584 - 230.907
=447.6769
Round to nearest whole number
So, area swept by the blade = 448[tex]in^{2}[/tex]

Hello, please help me!!
Answer:
0.14
Step-by-step explanation:
P(A|B) asks for the probability of A, given that B has happened. This is equal to the probability of A and B over the probability of B (see picture)
Here, the question is asking if someone is taking the bus given that they are a senior.
The probability of someone being a senior and taking the bus is 5/100, or 0.05 . The probability of someone being a senior is 35/100, or 0.35
Our answer is then 0.05/0.35 = 1/7 = 0.14
Suppose the sales (1000s of $) of a fast food restaurant are a linear function of the number of competing outlets within a 5 mile radius and the population (1000s of people) within a 1 mile radius. The regression equation quantifying this relation is (sales)
Answer:
[tex]Sales = 86.749[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]Sales = 0.845*(competitors) + 5.79*(population) + 13.889[/tex]
[tex]Competitors = 4[/tex]
[tex]Population = 12000[/tex]
See comment for complete question
Required
The sales
We have:
[tex]Sales = 0.845*(competitors) + 5.79*(population) + 13.889[/tex]
Substitute values for competitors and population
[tex]Sales = 0.845*4 + 5.79*12 + 13.889[/tex]
[tex]Sales = 3.38 + 69.48 + 13.889[/tex]
[tex]Sales = 86.749[/tex]
Describe how the graph of y = |x - 2| - 5 is a transformation of the graph of y = |x|. Use terms such as "shifted", "reflected", "stretched", or "compressed".
Answer:
The original graph was shifted 2 units to the left and 5 units down.
Step-by-step explanation:
y = |x|
From this, we go to: y = |x - 2|.
When we want to shift a function f(x) a units to the left, we find f(x - a). So first, the graph was shifted 2 units to the left.
y = |x - 2|.
From this, we go to: y = |x - 2| - 5.
Shifting a function f(x) down b units is the same as finding f(x) - b, so the second transformation was shifting the graph 5 units down.

it is estimated that 50% of emails are spam emails. Some software has been applied to filter these spam emails before they reach your inbox. A certain brand of software claims that it can detect 99% of spam emails and the probability for a flase positive is 5%. What is the probability that an email is detected as spam
Answer:
0.52 = 52% probability that an email is detected as spam.
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability that an email is detected as spam:
99% of 50%(are spam).
5% of 100 - 50 = 50%(false positives, that is, e-mails that are not spam but are detected as spams).
What is the probability that an email is detected as spam?
[tex]p = 0.99*0.5 + 0.05*0.5 = 0.52[/tex]
0.52 = 52% probability that an email is detected as spam.

Answer the following.
(a) Find an angle between and that is coterminal with .
(b) Find an angle between and that is coterminal with . Give exact values for your answers.
I believe this is your question:
A.) find an angle between 0 degrees and 360 degrees that is coterminal with 570 degrees.
Answer:
210 degrees
Explanation:
Coterminal angles begin on the same initial side and end or terminate on the same side as an angle. Example 45 degrees and 405 degrees are coterminal angles because they both begin and end on the same side.
To find an angle between 0 and 360 that is coterminal with 570 degrees, w simply subtract 360 degrees from 570, hence:
570-360=210 degrees
570 degrees is coterminal with 210 degrees
