THANKS FOR GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.
Sung Lee invests $5,000 at age 18. He hopes the investment will be worth $20,000 when he turns 25. If the interest compounds continuously, approximately what rate of growth will he need to achieve his goal? Round to the nearest tenth of a percent.
Answer:
19.8%
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the following formula for continuous compound interest:
A = P * e ^ (i * t)
Where:
A is the final value
P is the initial investment
i is the interest rate in decimal
t is time.
The time can be calculated as follows:
25 - 18 = 7
That is, the time corresponds to 7 years. In addition, A is 20,000 for A and P would be 5,000, we replace:
20000 = 5000 * e ^ (7 * i)
20000/5000 = e ^ (7 * i)
e ^ (7 * i) = 4
ln e ^ (7 * i) = ln 4
7 * i = ln 4
i = (ln 4) / 7
i = 0.198
Which means that the rounded percentage will be 19.8% per year
The rate of growth needed to achieve this goal is 22%
A compound interest is given by the formula:
[tex]A=P(1+\frac{r}{n} )^{nt}[/tex]
Where A is the final amount, r is the rate, t is the period, P is the principal and n is the number of times compounded in a period.
Given that A = 20000, P = 5000, t = 7 (25 - 18). hence:
[tex]20000=5000(1+\frac{r}{1} )^{7*1}\\\\4=(1+r )^{7}\\\\\\ln(4)=7\ ln(1+r)\\\\r=0.22[/tex]
Therefore the rate of growth needed to achieve this goal is 22%

Calculate the ratio to the nearest hundredth.
Find the Ratio of Diameter (d) and circumference (C)
Step by step explanation:
In order to determine the ratio we must know the formula for the circumference of a circle. Then relate it to the diameter.
But since we have been the value if both circumference and diameter, we would just calculate the ratio.
Circumference of a circle = 2πr
Where d = diameter = 2r
Circumference = πd
a) d = 20 in.
C = 62.83 in.
Ratio of Diameter (d) and circumference (C) = d:C
= 20/(62.83)
d:C = 0.32
b) d=10 in.
C =31.41 in.
d:C = 10/(31.41)
d:C = 0.32
c) d =6 in.
C =18.84 in.
d:C = 6/(18.84)
d:C = 0.32
d) d= 2 in.
C = 6.28 in.
d:C = 2/6.28
d:C = 0.32
e) d = 1 in.
C = 3.14 in.
d:C = 1/3.14
d:C = 0.32
The above answers indicate that the ratio of a circumference of a circle to its diameter = d/C = d/(π×d)
= 1/π = 0.32

When 893893 male workers were asked how many hours they worked in the previous week, the mean was 45.645.6 with a standard deviation of 14.614.6. Does this suggest that the population mean work week for men exceeds 4040 hours? Answer by completing parts (a) through (d).
Answer:
a) A. The relevant variable is the population mean work week (in hours) for workers aged 18-25.
b) Null hypothesis:[tex]\mu \leq 40[/tex]
Alternative hypothesis:[tex]\mu > 40[/tex]
c) [tex]t=\frac{45.6-40}{\frac{14.6}{\sqrt{893}}}=11.46[/tex]
The p value for this case would be:
[tex] p_v = P(t_{110} >11.46) \approx =0[/tex]
d) Since the p value is a very low value we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean for this case exceeds 40 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Information provided
[tex]\bar X=45.6[/tex] represent the sample mean
[tex]s=14.6[/tex] represent the sample standard deviation
[tex]n=893[/tex] sample size
[tex]\mu_o =40[/tex] represent the value to verify
t would represent the statistic
[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the p value
a. Identify the relevant and parameter variable. Choose the correct relevant variable below.
A. The relevant variable is the population mean work week (in hours) for workers aged 18-25.
b. State the null and alternative hypotheses. State the null hypothesis.
We want to verify if the population mean is higher than 40, the system of hypothesis would be:
Null hypothesis:[tex]\mu \leq 40[/tex]
Alternative hypothesis:[tex]\mu > 40[/tex]
c. Calculate the statistic
[tex]t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex] (1)
Replacing the info given we got:
[tex]t=\frac{45.6-40}{\frac{14.6}{\sqrt{893}}}=11.46[/tex]
The p value for this case would be:
[tex] p_v = P(t_{110} >11.46) \approx =0[/tex]
d. Conclusion
Since the p value is a very low value we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true mean for this case exceeds 40 hours.
Evaluate this power with a base that is a negative fraction.

A team averaging 110 points is likely to do very well during the regular season. The coach of your team has hypothesized that your team scored at an average of less than 110 points in the years 2013-2015. Test this claim at a 1% level of significance. For this test, assume that the population standard deviation for relative skill level is unknown.
Answer:
There is not enough evidence to support the claim that your team scored an average significantly less than 110 points.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete:
There is no data from the sample.
We will use the sample [105 107 117 106 110 ] as an example to solve the question.
The mean of the sample is:
[tex]M=\dfrac{1}{5}\sum_{i=1}^{5}(105+107+117+106+110)\\\\\\ M=\dfrac{545}{5}=109[/tex]
The standard deviation of the sample is:
[tex]s=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{(n-1)}\sum_{i=1}^{5}(x_i-M)^2}\\\\\\s=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{4}\cdot [(105-(109))^2+(107-(109))^2+(117-(109))^2+(106-(109))^2+(110-(109))^2]}\\\\\\ s=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{4}\cdot [(16)+(4)+(64)+(9)+(1)]}\\\\\\ s=\sqrt{\dfrac{94}{4}}=\sqrt{23.5}\\\\\\s=4.848[/tex]
This is a hypothesis test for the population mean.
The claim is that your team scored an average significantly less than 110 points.
Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:
[tex]H_0: \mu=110\\\\H_a:\mu< 110[/tex]
The significance level is 0.01.
The sample has a size n=5.
The sample mean is M=109.
As the standard deviation of the population is not known, we estimate it with the sample standard deviation, that has a value of s=4.848.
The estimated standard error of the mean is computed using the formula:
[tex]s_M=\dfrac{s}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{4.848}{\sqrt{5}}=2.17[/tex]
Then, we can calculate the t-statistic as:
[tex]t=\dfrac{M-\mu}{s/\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{109-110}{2.17}=\dfrac{-1}{2.17}=-0.46[/tex]
The degrees of freedom for this sample size are:
[tex]df=n-1=5-1=4[/tex]
This test is a left-tailed test, with 4 degrees of freedom and t=-0.46, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a t-table):
[tex]\text{P-value}=P(t<-0.46)=0.334[/tex]
As the P-value (0.334) is bigger than the significance level (0.01), the effect is not significant.
The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.
There is not enough evidence to support the claim that your team scored an average significantly less than 110 points.

Answer:
The answer is option 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly, we have to move the unrelated term to the other side :
[tex]x = 2 + \sqrt{x - 2} [/tex]
[tex]x - 2 = \sqrt{x - 2} [/tex]
Then, you have to get rid of square root by squaring both sides :
[tex] {(x - 2)}^{2} = {( \sqrt{x - 2} )}^{2} [/tex]
[tex] {x}^{2} - 4x + 2 = x - 2[/tex]
[tex] {x}^{2} - 4x + 4 - x + 2 = 0[/tex]
[tex] {x}^{2} - 5x + 6 = 0[/tex]
Next, you have to solve it :
[tex] {x}^{2} - 5x + 6 = 0[/tex]
[tex] {x}^{2} - 2x - 3x + 6 = 0[/tex]
[tex]x(x - 2) - 3(x - 2) = 0[/tex]
[tex](x - 2)(x - 3) = 0[/tex]
[tex]x - 2 = 0 \\ x = 2[/tex]
[tex]x - 3 = 0 \\ x = 3[/tex]

The following data show the number of players selected in a draft of new players for a hockey league according to their birth month. Is there evidence to suggest that hockey players' birthdates are not uniformly distributed throughout the year? Use the level of significance α= 0.05.

What are the null and alternative hypotheses?
Answer:
[tex]\chi^2 = \frac{(67-47.5)^2}{47.5}+\frac{(56-47.5)^2}{47.5}+\frac{(30-47.5)^2}{47.5}+\frac{(37-47.5)^2}{47.5}=18.295[/tex]
Now we can calculate the degrees of freedom for the statistic given by:
[tex]df=(categories-1)=4-1=3[/tex]
And we can calculate the p value given by:
[tex]p_v = P(\chi^2_{3} >18.295)=0.00038[/tex]
Since the p value is very low we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the players' birthdates are not uniformly distributed throughout the year
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to conduct a chi square test in order to check the following hypothesis:
H0: There is no difference of birthdates distributed throughout the year
H1: There is a difference between birthdates distributed throughout the year
The level of significance assumed for this case is [tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex]
The statistic to check the hypothesis is given by:
[tex]\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{(O_i -E_i)^2}{E_i}[/tex]
The table given represent the observed values, we just need to calculate the expected values with the following formula [tex]E_i = \frac{total}{4}[/tex]
And replacing we got:
[tex]E_{1} =\frac{67+56+30+37}{4}=47.5[/tex]
And now we can calculate the statistic:
[tex]\chi^2 = \frac{(67-47.5)^2}{47.5}+\frac{(56-47.5)^2}{47.5}+\frac{(30-47.5)^2}{47.5}+\frac{(37-47.5)^2}{47.5}=18.295[/tex]
Now we can calculate the degrees of freedom for the statistic given by:
[tex]df=(categories-1)=4-1=3[/tex]
And we can calculate the p value given by:
[tex]p_v = P(\chi^2_{3} >18.295)=0.00038[/tex]
Since the p value is very low we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the players' birthdates are not uniformly distributed throughout the year

The number of customers in a line at a supermarket express checkout counter is a random variable with the following probability distribution. x 0 1 2 3 4 5 P(x) 0.09 0.26 0.29 0.20 0.09 0.07 Find P(2 or fewer).
Answer:
probability (x ≤2) = 0.64
Step-by-step explanation:
P(2 or fewer) = probability of 2 or fewer
probability of (2 or fewer) = probability (x ≤2)
probability of (2 or fewer) = probability when x is 0 + probability when x is 1 + probability when x is 2
probability of (2 or fewer) = probability (x =0) + probability of (x =1 ) + probability (x= 2)
probability of (x=0) = 0.09
probability of (x=1) = 0.26
probability of (x =2) = 0.29
probability of (2 or fewer) = 0.09 + 0.26 + 0.29 = 0.64
probability (2 or fewer) = probability (x ≤2) = 0.64
Answer:
[tex] P(X \leq 2)= P(X=0) +P(X=1)+P(X=2)[/tex]
And replacing we got:
[tex] P(X \leq 2)= 0.09 +0.26+0.29 = 0.64[/tex]
And the probability that X would be 2 or lower is 0.64
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we have the following probability distribution:
x 0 1 2 3 4 5
P(x) 0.09 0.26 0.29 0.20 0.09 0.07
And we want to find the following probability:
[tex] P(X \leq 2)[/tex]
And we can find the probability like this:
[tex] P(X \leq 2)= P(X=0) +P(X=1)+P(X=2)[/tex]
And replacing we got:
[tex] P(X \leq 2)= 0.09 +0.26+0.29 = 0.64[/tex]
And the probability that X would be 2 or lower is 0.64

A builder makes drainpipes that drop 1 cm over a
horizontal distance of 30 cm to prevent clogs. See the
diagram below, which is not drawn to scale:
A certain drainpipe needs to cover a horizontal distance
of 700 cm
What is the length l of this drainpipe?
Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a centimeter
cm
Answer:
700.4 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
This involves two similar triangles.
Both triangles are right triangles.
One has legs measuring 1 cm and 30 cm. We can find the hypotenuse by using the Pythagorean theorem.
(1 cm)^2 + (30 cm)^2 = c^2
c^2 = 901 cm^2
c = sqrt(901) cm
The second triangle has one leg with length 700 cm. This leg corresponds to the 30-cm leg in the other triangle. Since the triangles are similar, we can use a proportion to find the hypotenuse of the second triangle.
(30 cm)/(700 cm) = [sqrt(901) cm]/x
3/70 = sqrt(901) cm/x
3x = 70 * sqrt(901) cm
x = 70 * sqrt(901) cm/3
x = 700.4 cm
Answer: 700.4 cm
The length of drainpipe is 700.4 cm.
What is Pythagoras theorem?The relationship between the three sides of a right-angled triangle is explained by the Pythagoras theorem, commonly known as the Pythagorean theorem. The Pythagorean theorem states that the square of a triangle's hypotenuse is equal to the sum of its other two sides' squares.
One has legs measuring 1 cm and 30 cm.
Using Pythagorean theorem.
(1 cm)² + (30 cm)² = c²
c² = 901
c =√901 cm
Since the triangles are similar, we can use a proportion to find the hypotenuse of the second triangle.
(30 cm)/(700 cm) = [√(901) cm]/x
3/70 = √(901) cm/x
3x = 70 x √(901) cm
x = 700.4 cm

A 3650-year-old wooden chest is found by archaeologists. What percentage of the original Superscript 14 Baseline Upper C would you expect to find in the wooden chest? (Recall that the decay constant for Superscript 14 Baseline Upper C is 0.00012.)
Answer:
64.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
Initial amount N° = ?
Remaining amount after decay = N = ?
k = decay constant = 0.00012 [tex]yr^{-1}[/tex]
t = time = 3650 year
fraction remaining will be N/N°
From the decay equation, N = N°[tex]e^{-kt}[/tex]
N/N° = [tex]e^{-kt}[/tex]
N/N° = [tex]e^{-0.00012 x 3650 }[/tex]

A study by Consumer Reports showed that 64% of supermarket shoppers believesupermarket brands to be as good as national brands. A manager of a local storebelieves that the percentage is higher in his store. She asks a random sample of145 shoppers whether they believed that supermarket brand ketchup was as goodas the national brand ketchup. Out of the 145 shoppers asked, 89 believed the supermarket brand was as good as the national brand. Use α= 0.05 significancelevel and conduct a hypothesis test.
Answer:
[tex]z=\frac{0.614 -0.64}{\sqrt{\frac{0.64(1-0.64)}{145}}}=-0.652[/tex]
The p value would be given by:
[tex]p_v =P(z<-0.654)=0.257[/tex]
Since the p value is higher than the significance level we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true proportion is significantly less than 0.64 at 5% of significance
Step-by-step explanation:
Information given
n=145 represent the random sample taken
X=89 represent the number of people who believed the supermarket brand was as good as the national brand
[tex]\hat p=\frac{89}{145}=0.614[/tex] estimated proportion of people who believed the supermarket brand was as good as the national brand

[tex]\alpha=0.05[/tex] represent the significance level
z would represent the statistic
[tex]p_v[/tex] represent the p value
Hypothesis to test
We want to test if the true proportion is less than 0.64, the system of hypothesis are.:
Null hypothesis:[tex]p \geq 0.64[/tex]
Alternative hypothesis:[tex]p < 0.64[/tex]
The statistic is given by:
[tex]z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}[/tex] (1)
Replacing the info we got:
[tex]z=\frac{0.614 -0.64}{\sqrt{\frac{0.64(1-0.64)}{145}}}=-0.652[/tex]
The p value would be given by:
[tex]p_v =P(z<-0.654)=0.257[/tex]

A farmer has a total of 21 cows and chickens altogether The animals have 54 legs how many cows and how many chickens does the farmer have?
Answer:
The farmer has 4 cows and 15 chickens.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question can be solved using a system of equations.
I am going to say that:
x is the number of cows
y is the number of chickens.
A farmer has a total of 21 cows and chickens altogether
This means that x + y = 21.
The animals have 54 legs
A cow has four legs, while a chicken has 2 legs. So
4x + 2y = 54.
From the first equation:
y = 21 - x
Replacing
4x + 2(21 - x) = 54
4x + 42 - 2x = 54
2x = 12
x = 6
y = 21 - x = 21 - 6 = 15
The farmer has 4 cows and 15 chickens.

State whether the data described below are discrete or continuous, and explain why. The exact mass (in grams )of food eaten by a person each day nothing Choose the correct answer below. A. The data are continuous because the data can take on any value in an interval. B. The data are continuous because the data can only take on specific values. C. The data are discrete because the data can take on any value in an interval. D. The data are discrete because the data can only take on specific values
Answer:
A. The data are continuous because the data can take on any value in an interval.
Step-by-step explanation:
The data surveyed is the exact mass, in grams, of food eaten by each person each day.
This type of data is continous, not discrete. The mass can take any value within the domain of positive real numbers. It represents a physic variable, and they are always continous.
