The Washington, DC, region has one of the fastest-growing foreclosure rates in the nation, as 15,613 homes went into foreclosure during the one-year period ending in February 2008 (The Washington Post, June 19, 2008). Over the past year, the number of foreclosures per 10,000 homes is 131 for the Washington area, while it is 87 nationally. In other words, the foreclosure rate is 1.31% for the Washington, DC area and 0.87% for the nation. Assume that the foreclosure rates remain stable.

Required:
a. What is the probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the Washington, DC area will go up for foreclosure?
b. What is the probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the nation will go up for foreclosure?
c. Comment on the above findings.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 0.6226 = 62.26% probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the Washington, DC area will go up for foreclosure.

b) 0.7837 = 78.37% probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the nation will go up for foreclosure.

c) The proportion of foreclosures in the Nation is lower than in Washington, which means that with a sample size of 100, it is likely to have a small number(fewer than 2) of foreclosures than Washington DC.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each home, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it goes into foreclosure, or it does not. The probability of a home going into foreclosure is independent of other homes. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

a. What is the probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the Washington, DC area will go up for foreclosure?

The foreclosure rate is 1.31% for the Washington, DC area, which means that [tex]p = 0.0131[/tex]

We wanto to find, with [tex]n = 100[/tex]:

[tex]P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{100,0}.(0.0131)^{0}.(0.9869)^{100} = 0.2675[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{100,1}.(0.0131)^{1}.(0.9869)^{99} = 0.3551[/tex]

[tex]P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.2675 + 0.3551 = 0.6226[/tex]

0.6226 = 62.26% probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the Washington, DC area will go up for foreclosure.

b. What is the probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the nation will go up for foreclosure?

Foreclosure rate of 0.87% for the nation, which means that [tex]p = 0.0087[/tex]. So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{100,0}.(0.0087)^{0}.(0.9913)^{100} = 0.4174[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{100,1}.(0.0087)^{1}.(0.9913)^{99} = 0.3663[/tex]

[tex]P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.4174 + 0.3663 = 0.7837[/tex]

0.7837 = 78.37% probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the nation will go up for foreclosure.

c. Comment on the above findings.

The proportion of foreclosures in the Nation is lower than in Washington, which means that with a sample size of 100, it is likely to have a small number(fewer than 2) of foreclosures than Washington DC.

Why is the amount much higher in the compounded interest account?

The account started with more money.

The account is in a better bank.

The interest rate is higher.

Answers

Answer: Compounded quarterly, 350, 420, 25, the account pays interest on both the principal and the interest accumulated.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1: Compounded quarterly is growing fastest because it's broken down more than what simple interest does and therefore is faster instead.

Question 2: Account A in 30 years would be 350, I did this problem and eyeballed it. Trust me.

Question 3: Account B in 30 years would be 420.

Question 4: The approximate difference between the two accounts in 20 years would be 25.

Question 5: If the rate of interest is annual and the interest is compounded quarterly then the number of years is 4 times and the rate of annual interest is one-fourth. Therefore, the account pays interest on both the principal and the interest accumulated.

Hope this helps

The simple interest and compound interest are solved for both the curves

a) The compound interest is growing fastest

b) the amount in Account A in 30 years A = $ 350

c) The amount in Account B in 30 years is B = $ 420

d) The difference between the two accounts in 20 years = $ 25

What is Compound Interest?

Compound interest is interest based on the initial principle plus all prior periods' accumulated interest. The power of compound interest is the ability to generate "interest on interest." Interest can be added at any time, from continuously to daily to annually.

The formula for calculating Compound Interest is

A = P ( 1 + r/n )ⁿᵇ

where A = Final Amount

P = Principal

r = rate of interest

n = number of times interest is applied

b = number of time periods elapsed

Given data ,

a)

Let the 2 curves be represented as A and B

Now , the amount invested by A = $ 200

The rate of simple interest = 2.5 %

And , the amount invested by B = $ 200

The rate of compound interest = 2.5 %

So , we can say that since it is more thoroughly broken down than basic interest is, compounded quarterly growth is the quickest.

b)

The amount for A in 30 years is given in the graph

A = $ 350

c)

The amount for B in 30 years is given in the graph

B = $ 420

d)

The amount for A in 20 years is given in the graph = $ 300

The amount for B in 20 years is given in the graph = $ 325

The difference between the two accounts in 20 years = $ 325 - $ 300

The difference between the two accounts in 20 years = $ 25

Hence , the compound interest is solved

Each side of the cookie dough is x long, since there is no given number, the diameter of the plate is also x, its as long as the square is wide, making the radius 1/2x.

The area of the cookie dough is x², the area of the plate is 1/4[tex]\pi[/tex]x².

A. Write an inequality for which 3, -4, 0, and 2,300 are solutions B. How many total solutions are there to your equality?

Answers

Answer:

-4 ≤ x ≤ 2,300

If x is a real number, we have infinite solutions.

if x is an integer number, we have 2,305 solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to write an inequality such that the numbers:

3, -4, 0, and 2,300 are solutions.

If we order these numbers from smallest to largest, we get:

{-4, 0, 3, 2,300}

Then we can write an inequality like:

-4 ≤ x ≤ 2,300

You can see that the four values in the set {-4, 0, 3, 2,300} are solutions for our inequality.

Now, how many solutions does this inequality has?

if x is a real number, then we have infinite solutions.

if x is an integer, then the total number of solutions will be equal to:

number of negative solutions (4)

number of positive solutions (2,300)

the number zero (1)

Then we would have: 4 + 2,300 + 1 = 2,305 integer solutions.

Then the inequality solution will be -4 ≤ x ≤ 2,300. If x is a real number, we have infinite solutions. if x is an integer number, we have 2,305 solutions.

What is inequality?

Inequality is defined as an equation that does not contain an equal sign. Inequality is a term that describes a statement's relative size and can be used to compare these two claims.

A.  Write an inequality for which 3, -4, 0, and 2,300 are solutions that will be

If we order these numbers from smallest to largest, we get:

{-4, 0, 3, 2,300}

Then we can write an inequality like:

-4 ≤ x ≤ 2,300

You can see that the four values in the set {-4, 0, 3, 2,300} are solutions for our inequality.

B.  The number of the solution to the inequality will be

We have limitless solutions if x is a real number.

If x is an integer, the set of possible solutions will be

The number of negative solutions (4)

The number of positive solutions (2,300)

The number zero (1)

Then we would have: 4 + 2,300 + 1 = 2,305 integer solutions.

Bill= $132.17

First, we need to round the bill by the nearest ten dollars. In this case, we round to the lower tenth:

Bill= 132.17 = 130

Now, we can determine the tip:

Tip= bill*tip rate

Tip= 130*0.1
