Answer:

Option E

Step-by-step explanation:

This survey will not be reliable as it is chosen for convenience; the first 120 students to arrive in school on a particular morning and this collection of individuals may not be a representative of the population. The study may become biased because it does not take into account the latecomers among the students which might have been changed the study from systematically favoring certain outcomes.

An entry level web developer's annual pay is $55,640 based on 52 weeks per year. Due to the economy, his company is having to cu
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Reduction = \$3300

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Pay\ for\ 52\ weeks = \$55,640

Required

Determine the reduction when paid is reduced to 49 weeks

First, we need to determine the weekly pay

Weekly\ Pay = \frac{\$55,640}{52}

Weekly\ Pay = \$1070

Next, is to determine the pay for 49 weeks;

Pay = Weekly\ Pay * 49

Pay = \$1070 * 49

Pay = \$52430

Subtract the 49 week pay from 52 weeks pay to get the payment reduction;

Reduction = \$55640 - \$52340

Reduction = \$3300

You put $1200 in an account that earns 3% simple interest. Y= a (1 + r)t Find the total amount in the account after four years.
olchik [2.2K]

Hello!

To find how much money total will be in the account after four years, you need to use the function, y = a(1 + r)^{t}, as seen above. In this function, a is the starting value, r is the interest rate, and t is the amount of time (in years).

Before substituting values into the function, we need to convert 3% into a decimal. Remember that all percentages are out of 100, so we divide 3 by 100 and remove the percentage sign, or move the decimal two places to the left.

3/100 = 0.03 | 0.03 is the interest rate.

With all the necessary values, we can find the total amount in the account. In this case, a = 1200, r = 0.03, and t = 4.

y = 1200(1 + 0.03)^{4}

y = 1200(1.03)^{4}

y = 1200(1.12550881)

y = 1350.610572, which can be rounded to 1350.61 dollars.

Therefore, after 4 years, the total amount in the account will be about 1350.61 dollars.
