How long will it take 500 dollars to double if it is invested at 7% interest compounded semi-annually
Answers
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
can anyone help with this please !!!!

"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]".
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
Answers
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.

Exercise 2.2.3: The cardinality of a power set. (a) What is the cardinality of P({1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6})
Answers
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.

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.
Answers
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.

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".
Answers
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.

The result, 735, is divisible by 5, but 3 divides in also, and it's smaller, so I divided by 3 to get 245. This is not divisible by 3 but is divisible by 5, so I divided by 5 and got 49, which is divisible by 7.

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
Answers
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.

The function ()=5^3+3x−6 has inverse function . Find ′(138).

Answer:
f⁻¹(138) = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
You want to find the value of x that makes the function have a value of 138:
f(x) = 5x^3 +3x -6
138 = 5x^3 +3x -6
0 = 5x^3 +3x -144
Descartes's rule of signs tells us this has one positive real solution. The rational root theorem gives us 30 possibilities. Rewriting the equation as ...
x^3 = (144 -3x)/5 = 28.8 -0.6x
suggests that the value of x is less than ∛28.8 ≈ 3.065. Trying x=3, we find that to be a solution.
(5x² +3)(x) -6 = 0 . . . . rewrite of the above equation
(5·3² +3)·3 -144 = (48)(3) -144 = 0 . . . . true
Then ...
f⁻¹(138) = 3
_____
The answer is found easily using a graphing calculator. The solution is the x-intercept of 138 -f(x) = 0.
