Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a set of data sorted from smallest to largest, i.e. arranged in ascending order we are to find out the median, I and III quartiles

We know that the median is the middle entry of data arranged in ascending order

Q1 is the entry below which 25% lie and Q3 is one above which 25% lie

Hence proper definition would be

d. The first quartile is the median of the lower half of the data below the overall median.

The second quartile is the overall median

The third quartile is the median of the upper half of the data above the overall median.

Option b is wrong becuase mean is not necessary here. Option a is wrong because this has nothing to do with std deviation

Option c is wrong since minimum value cannot be q1

Option e is wrong because we have exactly 25% lie below Q1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the alternative hypothesis (µ < µ0),

To find the p-value with test statistic -1.25 and assuming a standard level of significance of 0.05, using a p value calculator, the p-value is 0.1057 which is great that 0.05. Thus, the results is not significant.

Using the p value calculation.

1. Check the left tailed z table as the test statistic is negative,

2. Then find the probabilitythat z is greater than your test statistic (look up your test statistic on the z-table- the value under 1.2 and 0.05 which is 0.8944

3. Then, find its corresponding probability, and subtract it from 1 to get your p-value- 1-0.8944 = 0.1056.

a. Parameterize $C$ by

$\vec r(t)=(1-t)(5\,\vec\imath)+t(2\,\vec\jmath)=(5-5t)\,\vec\imath+2t\,\vec\jmath$

with $0\le t\le1$ .

b/c. The line integral of $\vec F(x,y)=-y\,\vec\imath+x\,\vec\jmath$ over $C$ is

$\displaystyle\int_C\vec F(x,y)\cdot\mathrm d\vec r=\int_0^1\vec F(x(t),y(t))\cdot\frac{\mathrm d\vec r(t)}{\mathrm dt}\,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^1(-2t\,\vec\imath+(5-5t)\,\vec\jmath)\cdot(-5\,\vec\imath+2\,\vec\jmath)\,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle\int_0^1(10t+(10-10t))\,\mathrm dt$

$=\displaystyle10\int_0^1\mathrm dt=\boxed{10}$

d. Notice that we can write the line integral as

$\displaystyle\int_C\vecF\cdot\mathrm d\vec r=\int_C(-y\,\mathrm dx+x\,\mathrm dy)$

By Green's theorem, the line integral is equivalent to

$\displaystyle\iint_D\left(\frac{\partial x}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial(-y)}{\partial y}\right)\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy=2\iint_D\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy$

where $D$ is the triangle bounded by $C$ , and this integral is simply twice the area of $D$ . $D$ is a right triangle with legs 2 and 5, so its area is 5 and the integral's value is 10.

1. Yejin plans to retire at age 60. She wants to create an annuity fund, which will pay her a monthly allowance of $4000 during

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

$3891.10

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is a bit unusual in that the interest is compounded annually, but payments and withdrawals are made monthly. The effective monthly rate is ...

1.05^(1/12) -1 = 0.407412378% = i

We assume that payments to the annuity are made at the end of the month, and that withdrawals are made at the beginning of the month. (The last payment and the first withdrawal are made on the same day.)

The amount of money required in the fund is ...

A = $4000(1 -(1.00407^-360))/(1 -1.00407^-1) = $757,712.88

The amount of money needed each month to be put into the fund is P, where ...

$757,712.88 = P(1 -1.00407)^(-12(60-28))/(1 -1.00407^-1) = 194.7297P

P = $757,712.88/194.7297 = $3891.10

Yejin needs to save $3891.10 each month to meet her retirement goal.

_____

<em>Sanity check</em>

Yejin wants payments for 30 years from the fund to which she has contributed for 32 years. The similarity of the time periods means that Yejin's monthly contribution will need to be very similar to the amount she plans to withdraw.

The only ways to reduce the required contribution are to earn a higher interest on deposits, or to adjust the relative time periods (retire later).
