A principal of $2000 is placed in a savings account at 3% per annum compounded annually. How much is in the account after one year, two years and three years?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

After one year

A=p(1+r/n)^nt

=2000(1+0.03/12)^12*1

=2000(1+0.0025)^12

=2000(1.0025)^12

=2000(1.0304)

=$2060.8

After two-years

A=p(1+r/n)^nt

=2060.8(1+0.03/12)^12*2

=2060.8(1+0.0025)^24

=2060.8(1.0025)^24

=2060.8(1.0618)

=$2188.157

After three years

A=p(1+r/n)^nt

=2188.157(1+0.03/12)^12*3

=2188.157(1+0.0025)^36

=2188.157(1.0025)^36

=2188.157(1.0941)

=$2394.063

Amount in account after one year, two and three years are respectively  $2,060 , $2,121.8 and $2,185.45

Given:

Principal amount = $2,000

Rate of interest = 3% = 0.03

 

Amount in account after one year

A = P(1+r)ⁿ

A = 2,000(1+0.03)¹

A = 2,000(1.03)¹

A = 2,000(1.03)

A = $2,060

Amount in account after two year

A = P(1+r)ⁿ

A = 2,000(1+0.03)²

A = 2,000(1.03)²

A = 2,000(1.0609)

A = $2,121.8

Amount in account after three year

A = P(1+r)ⁿ

A = 2,000(1+0.03)³

The cost of a diamond varies as the square of its weight. A diamond weighing 20 decigrams costs Rs. 4,800. Find the cost of a diamond of the same kind weighing 8 decigrams.​

Answers

Answer:

768

Step-by-step explanation:

let C represent cost and w weight, then the equation relating them is

C = kw² ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition w = 20, C = 4800, that is

4800 = k × 20² = 400k ( divide both sides by 400 )

12 = k

C = 12w² ← equation of variation

When w = 8, then

C = 12 × 8² = 12 × 64 = 768

Answer:

Length is 11.052cm

Width is 3.684cm

Height is 7.386cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let length be x, width y and height Z

Width (y) = X/3 , height (z) = 2x /3

volume =xyz

volume = x(x/3)(2/3)x

Volume = (2/9)x³

But Volume =300

300= (2/9)x³

300/(2/9) = x³ (make x³ the subject to find x )

1350 = x³

x=3√(1350)

x=11.052cm

Length is 11.052cm

Width = x/3 =11.052 /3

= 3.684cm

Height = 2x/3 = 2(11.052) /3

= 7.368cm

You can check it by multiplying LWH to see if you get 300 (the volume)

2/3y + 15 = 9
What are the steps for this question

Answers

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3y + 15 = 9

Subtract 15 from each side

2/3y + 15-15 = 9-15

2/3y = -6

Multiply each side by 3/2 to isolate y

3/2 * 2/3y = -6 *3/2

y = -9

Answer:

y = - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3y + 15 = 9

Subtract 15 on both sides.

2/3y = 9 - 15

2/3y = - 6

Multiply both sides by 3/2.

y = - 6 × 3/2

y = -18/2

if tom spins the spinner 80 times work out an estimate for the number of times the spinner will land on 3 please help me

Answers

Answer:

The estimated number of times the spinner will land on 3 is 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

A four-sided spinner is provided. If Tom spins the spinner 80 times then work out an estimate for the number of times the spinner will land on 3.

Solution:

Assume that the four-sided spinner is unbiased.

That is all the four outcomes are equally likely to be selected.

The probability that the spinner lands on any of the four numbers is:

P(1) = P (2) = P (3) = P (4) = 0.25

It is provided that Tom spins the spinner n = 80 times.

The spinner can land on any of the four numbers independently.

The random variable X, defined as the number of times the spinner lands on 3, follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n = 80 and p = 0.25.

The expected value of X is:

[tex]E(X)=np[/tex]

        [tex]=80\times 0.25\\=20[/tex]

Thus, the estimated number of times the spinner will land on 3 is 20.

Calculate the mean and standard deviation of the data set ...

Answers

Answer:

Mean: 12.9

Standard deviation: 14.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is calculated adding all of the values and dividing by the number of elements:

[tex]m=\frac{2+3+7+12+1+4+27+49+11}{9}=\frac{116}{9}=12.9[/tex]

to find the standard deviation, we first find the variance (which is defined as the sum of all the elements subtracting the mean and squared and then dividing by the total amount of elements):

[tex]v=\frac{(2-12.9)^2+(3-12.9)^2+(7-12.9)^2+(12-12.9)^2+(1-12.9)^2+(4-12.9)^2+(27-12.9)^2+(49-12.9)^2+(11-12.9)^2}{9}\\[/tex]

[tex]v=\frac{1978.89}{9}\\[/tex]

[tex]v=219.88[/tex]

Noe that we have the variance, we can calculate the standard deviation.

The stardard deviation is defined as the squared root of the variance:

[tex]standardDeviation=\sqrt{v}[/tex]

we substitute the variance:

[tex]standardDeviation=\sqrt{219.88} \\standardDeviation=14.8[/tex]

Thus, the answer is:

Mean: 12.9

Standard deviation: 14.8

Miguel must choose two chips, and if both chips have the same number, he wins $2. If the two chips he chooses have different numbers, he loses $1 (–$1). a. Let X = the amount of money Miguel will receive or owe. Fill out the missing values in the table. (Hint: The total possible outcomes are six because there are four chips and you are choosing two of them.) b. What is Miguel’s expected value from playing the game? c. Based on the expected value in the previous step, how much money should Miguel expect to win or lose each time he plays? d. What value should be assigned to choosing two chips with the number 1 to make the game fair? Explain your answer using a complete sentence and/or an equation.

Answers

Answer:

To check all the events (6), we label the chips. Suppose one chip with 1 is labeled R1 and the other B1 (as if they were red and blue). Now, lets take all combinations; for the first chip, we have 4 choices and for the 2nd chip we have 3 remaining choices. Thus there are 12 combinations. Since we dont care about the order, there are only 6 combinations since for example R1, 3 is the same as 3, R1 for us.

The combinations are: (R1, B1), (R1, 3), (R1, 5), (B1, 3), (B1, 5), (3,5)

We have that in 1 out of the 6 events, Miguel wins 2$ and in five out of the 6 events, he loses one. The expected value of this bet is: 1/6*2+5/6*(-1)=-3/6=-0.5$. In general, the expected value of the bet is the sum of taking the probabilities of the outcome multiplied by the outcome; here, there is a 1/6 probability of getting the same 2 chips and so on. On average, Miguel loses half a dollar every time he plays.

Basically u add both of x and y and u get 160 and x and y are 80 so u subtract 80 from each total and thats the answer for the blanks on your paper

Answer:

x = 60 and y = 100

Step-by-step explanation:

As shown in the table, you have: x + y = 160

Otherwise, you have x:y = 3:5 or x = 3y/5

=> 3y/5 + y = 160

or 8y/5 = 160

or y/5 = 20

or y = 20*5 = 100

=> x = 160 - y = 160 - 100 = 60

=> x = 60 and y = 100

A person is selected at random. What is the probability that this person doesn't use any facility?

Answers

P = 11/135 = 0.0815

Step-by-step explanation:

we can said that:

14 people use all three facilities18 people use just gym and track (32 people use the gym and the track less the 14 people that use all three facilities)21 people use just pool and track (35 people use the pool and the track less the 14 people that use all three facilities)22 people use just gym and pool (36 people use the gym and the pool less the 14 people that use all three facilities)14 people use just the track (67 people use the track less the 18 people that use just the gym and the track, the 21 people that use just the pool and the track and 14 people that use all three facilities)16 people use just the pool (73 people use the swimming pool less the  the 21 people that use just the pool and the track, the 22 people that use just the gym and the pool and 14 people that use all three facilities)19 people use just the gym (73 people use the gym less the 18 people that use just the gym and the track, the 22 people that use just the gym and the pool and 14 people that use all three facilities)

So, there are 124 people that use the gym, the pool or the track. This is calculated using the information above as:

14 + 18 + 21 + 22 + 14 + 16 + 19 = 124

Finally, there are 11 ( 135 - 124 = 11 ) people that don't use any facility, so the probability that a person doesn't use any facility is:

A given line has the equation .

What is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line that is perpendicular to the given line and passes through the point (0, 9)?




Answers

Answer:

y-6x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete answer.

A given line has the equation 2x + 12y = −1.

What is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line that is perpendicular to the given line and passes through the point (0, 9)?

General formula of equation of a line is exspressed as y = mx+c

m = gradient or slope  

c = intercept

Step 1: we need to first get the slope of the given equation of a line by rewriting the equation in standard form y = mx+c

2x + 12y = −1

12y = -1-2x

y = -1/12-2x/12

y = -1/6 x - 1/12

From the equation above, it can be seen that the slope (m) of tghe line is -1/6.

Since both lines are perpendicular, the slope of the unknown line will be;

M = -1/m

M = -1/(-1/6)

M = 6

Step 2: We will find the intercept c by substituting the point (0,9) and the slope into the equation y = mx+c

9 = 6(0)+ c

c = 9

Stwp 3: We will find the equation of the line perpendicular to the given line by substituting the value of m and c into the equation y = mx+c

y = 6x+9

y-6x = 9

The equation in slope-intercept form, of the line that is perpendicular to the given line and passes through the point (0, 9) is y-6x = 9
