An old campfire is uncovered during an archaeological dig. Its charcoal is found to contain less than 1/1000 the normal amount of [tex]^{14}\text{C}[/tex] ​. Estimate the minimum age of the charcoal, noting that  [tex]2^{10} = 1024[/tex]

Answer:

57300 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the relation of an half-life time in relation to fraction which can be  expressed as:

[tex]\dfrac{N}{N_o} = (\dfrac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{t_{1/2}}[/tex]

here;

N represents the present atom

[tex]N_o[/tex] represents the  initial atom

t represents the time

[tex]t_{1/2}[/tex] represents the half - life

Given that:

Its charcoal is found to contain less than 1/1000 the normal amount of [tex]^{14}\text{C}[/tex] ​.

Then ;

[tex]\dfrac{N}{N_o} = \dfrac{1}{1000}[/tex]

However; we are to  estimate the minimum age of the charcoal, noting that  [tex]2^{10} = 1024[/tex]

so noting that [tex]2^{10} = 1024[/tex], then:

[tex]\dfrac{1}{1000}> \dfrac{1}{1024}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{1}{1000}> \dfrac{1}{2^{10}}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{1}{1000}> (\dfrac{1}{2})^{10}[/tex]

If

[tex]\dfrac{N}{N_o} = \dfrac{1}{1000}[/tex]

Then

[tex]\dfrac{N}{N_o} > (\dfrac{1}{2})^{10}[/tex]

Therefore, the estimate of the minimum time needed is 10 half-life time.

For [tex]^{14}\text{C}[/tex] , the normal half-life time = 5730 years

As such , the estimate of the minimum age of the charcoal =  5730 years × 10

= 57300 years

The area of a square is calculated by multiplying a side by itself

so one side of the square is 9 in

the area of a triangle is calculated by multiplying height and base and that divided by 2

since E is the midpoint, if we draw a line show the height from there

the height would be 9

9*9/2 = 82/2

Answer:

Compound Interest: The future value (FV) of an investment of present value (PV) dollars earning interest at an annual rate of r compounded m times per year for a period of t years is:

FV = PV(1 + r/m)mt

or

FV = PV(1 + i)n

where i = r/m is the interest per compounding period and n = mt is the number of compounding periods.

One may solve for the present value PV to obtain:

PV = FV/(1 + r/m)mt

Numerical Example: For 4-year investment of $20,000 earning 8.5% per year, with interest re-invested each month, the future value is

FV = PV(1 + r/m)mt = 20,000(1 + 0.085/12)(12)(4) = $28,065.30

Notice that the interest earned is $28,065.30 - $20,000 = $8,065.30 -- considerably more than the corresponding simple interest.

Effective Interest Rate: If money is invested at an annual rate r, compounded m times per year, the effective interest rate is:

reff = (1 + r/m)m - 1.

This is the interest rate that would give the same yield if compounded only once per year. In this context r is also called the nominal rate, and is often denoted as rnom.

Numerical Example: A CD paying 9.8% compounded monthly has a nominal rate of rnom = 0.098, and an effective rate of:

r eff =(1 + rnom /m)m = (1 + 0.098/12)12 - 1 = 0.1025.

Thus, we get an effective interest rate of 10.25%, since the compounding makes the CD paying 9.8% compounded monthly really pay 10.25% interest over the course of the year.

Mortgage Payments Components: Let where P = principal, r = interest rate per period, n = number of periods, k = number of payments, R = monthly payment, and D = debt balance after K payments, then

R = P × r / [1 - (1 + r)-n]

and

D = P × (1 + r)k - R × [(1 + r)k - 1)/r]

Accelerating Mortgage Payments Components: Suppose one decides to pay more than the monthly payment, the question is how many months will it take until the mortgage is paid off? The answer is, the rounded-up, where:

n = log[x / (x – P × r)] / log (1 + r)

where Log is the logarithm in any base, say 10, or e.

Future Value (FV) of an Annuity Components: Ler where R = payment, r = rate of interest, and n = number of payments, then

FV = [ R(1 + r)n - 1 ] / r

Future Value for an Increasing Annuity: It is an increasing annuity is an investment that is earning interest, and into which regular payments of a fixed amount are made. Suppose one makes a payment of R at the end of each compounding period into an investment with a present value of PV, paying interest at an annual rate of r compounded m times per year, then the future value after t years will be

FV = PV(1 + i)n + [ R ( (1 + i)n - 1 ) ] / i

where i = r/m is the interest paid each period and n = m × t is the total number of periods.

Numerical Example: You deposit $100 per month into an account that now contains $5,000 and earns 5% interest per year compounded monthly. After 10 years, the amount of money in the account is:

FV = PV(1 + i)n + [ R(1 + i)n - 1 ] / i =

5,000(1+0.05/12)120 + [100(1+0.05/12)120 - 1 ] / (0.05/12)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We first examine a simple hidden Markov model (HMM). We observe a sequence of rolls of a four-sided die at an "occasionally dishonest casino", where at time t the observed outcome x_t Element {1, 2, 3, 4}. At each of these times, the casino can be in one of two states z_t Element {1, 2}. When z_t = 1 the casino uses a fair die, while when z_t = 2 the die is biased so that rolling a 1 is more likely. In particular: p (x_t = 1 | z_t = 1) = p (x_t = 2 | z_t = 1) = p (x_t = 3 | z_t = 2) = p (x_t = 4 | z_t = 1) = 0.25, p (X_t = 1 | z_t = 2) = 0.7, p (X_t = 2 | z_t = 2) = p (X_t = 3 | z_t = 2) = p (X_t = 4 | z_t = 2) = 0.1. Assume that the casino has an equal probability of starting in either state at time t = 1, so that p (z1 = 1) = p (z1 = 2) = 0.5. The casino usually uses the same die for multiple iterations, but occasionally switches states according to the following probabilities: p (z_t + 1 = 1 | z_t = 1) = 0.8, p (z_t = 2) = 0.9. The other transition probabilities you will need are the complements of these. a. Under the HMM generative model, what is p (z1 = z2 = z3), the probability that the same die is used for the first three rolls? b. Suppose that we observe the first two rolls. What is p (z1 = 1 | x1 = 2, x2 = 4), the probability that the casino used the fair die in the first roll? c. Using the backward algorithm, compute the probability that we observe the sequence x1 = 2, x2 = 3, x3 = 3, x4 = 3 and x5 = 1. Show your work (i.e., show each of your belief for based on time). Consider the final distribution at time t = 6 for both p (z_t = 1) = p (z_t = 2) = 1.

ANSWER:

Let say we have that the first state of the die is state 1. Therefore the probability of this is p(z1=1)=0.5.

Also the probability that the same die is used(i.e. casino would be in the same state) is p(z2=1|z1=1)=0.8.

Again, suppose the first state of the die is state 2. So, p(z1=2)=0.5 and p(z2=2|z1=2)=0.9.

Other transition probabilities can be written as

p(zt+1=2|zt=1)=1-p(zt+1=1|zt=1)=.2

p(zt+1=1|zt=2)=1-p(zt+1=2|zt=2)=.1

p(z3=1|z1=1) = [p(z3=1|z2=2)*p(z2=2|z1=1)]+[p(z3=1|z2=1)*p(z2=1|z1=1)] = 0.1*0.2+0.8*0.8 = 0.66

p(z3=2|z1=2) = [p(z3=2|z2=2)*p(z2=2|z1=2)]+[p(z3=2|z2=1)*p(z2=1|z1=2)] = 0.9*0.9+0.2*0.1 = 0.83

With this, the total probability that the same die is used for the first three rolls (i.e. casino would be in the same state) is  given thus;

{p(z1=1)*p(z3=1|z1=1)}*{p(z1=2)*p(z3=2|z1=2)}

=  0.5*0.66+0.5*0.83 = 0.745

Prob = 0.745

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information;

let the hypotenuse be a , the opposite which is the north direction be b and the west direction which is the adjacent be c

SO, using the Pythagoras theorem

a² = c² + 177²

By taking the differentiation of both sides with respect to time t , we have

[tex]2a \dfrac{da}{dt} = 2c \dfrac{dc}{dt} + 0[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{da}{dt} = \dfrac{c}{a} \dfrac{dc}{dt}[/tex]

At c = 71 miles,[tex]a = \sqrt{ (71)^2 +(177)^2}[/tex]

[tex]a = \sqrt{ 5041+31329}[/tex]

[tex]a = \sqrt{ 36370}[/tex]

a = 190.71

SImilarly, [tex]\dfrac{dc}{dt} = \ 31 miles \ / hr[/tex]

Thus, the rate of change of the distance between Morristown and the van when the van has been travelling for 71 miles can be calculate as:

[tex]\dfrac{da}{dt} = \dfrac{c}{a} \dfrac{dc}{dt}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{da}{dt} = \dfrac{71}{190.71} \times 31[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{da}{dt} = 0.37229 \times 31[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{\dfrac{da}{dt} = 11.54}[/tex]  to the nearest hundredth.

Hello!!!

Let's workout with this figure.

BC is a chord, O is the centre and OA is the perpendicular bisector.

AB = 1/2 of BC (according to circle's theorem)

so, A B = 1/2 × 25.6

Therefore, the measure of AB is 12.8.

now, let's have a small work with triangle AOB.

as it is a Right angled triangle, taking angle B as refrence angle we get,

p=x

b=12.8

h= OB = 16 (it is also a radius.)

now,

by Pythagoras relation we get,

[tex]p = \sqrt{ {h}^{2} - {b}^{2} } [/tex]

or, x = root 16^2- 12.8 ^2

by simplification, we get;

the measure of x is 9.6.

Therefore, the value of x is 9.6.

The period of days (value of x) for which Faizal promised to pay the bank RM 2,000 after getting 7% discounted present value of RM 1,930 is 180 days.

The value of x is the period of days (number of days) that the loan from the bank will last before Faizal, who received RM 1,930 discounted at 7%, would repay the bank the principal and interest of RM 2,000.

This implies that Faizal is paying an interest of RM 70 (RM 2,000 - RM 1,930), since he borrowed RM 1,930 and will repay RM 2,000.

Data and Calculations:

Present value of loan received = RM 1,930

Discount rate per year = 7%

Future value of the loan to be repaid to the bank = RM 2,000

Interest expense for one year based on 7% = RM 140 (RM 2,000 x 7%)

Interest expense for 180 days or 6 months = RM 70 (RM 2,000 - RM 1,930) or (RM 2,000 x 7%) x 180/360

Interest expense that equals RM 70 will be half of a year or 180 days (RM 140 * 180/360)

Thus, the period of days (x) that will lapse for Faizal to repay the bank is 180 days or half of a year (6 months).

Answer:

The  width is  [tex]w = \$ 729.7[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The population standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = \% 1,000[/tex]

    The  sample size is  [tex]n = 50[/tex]

    The sample mean  is  [tex]\= x = \$ 15,000[/tex]

Given that the confidence level is  99% then the level of significance is mathematically represented as  

               [tex]\alpha = 100 - 99[/tex]

=>            [tex]\alpha = 1\%[/tex]

=>             [tex]\alpha = 0.01[/tex]

Next we obtain the critical value of  [tex]\frac{\alpha }{2}[/tex] from the normal distribution table, the value is

             [tex]Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = Z_{\frac{0.01 }{2} } = 2.58[/tex]

Generally margin of error is mathematically represented as

             [tex]E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} * \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

substituting values

              [tex]E = 2.58 * \frac{1000 }{\sqrt{50} }[/tex]

              [tex]E = 2.58 * \frac{1000 }{\sqrt{50} }[/tex]

               [tex]E = 364.9[/tex]

The width of the 99% confidence interval is mathematically evaluated as
