Answer:

Amount of car in 2012 = $1,242.55 (Approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Rate of depreciation(d) = 18% = 0.18

Amount of car in 1998 = $19,995

Find:

Amount of car in 2012

Computation:

Number of year(n) = 14 year

Amount\ of\ car\ in\ 2012 = Amount\ of\ car\ in\ 2012 [1-d]^n

Amount of car in 2012 = 19,995[1-0.18]¹⁴

Amount of car in 2012 = 19,995[0.82]¹⁴

Amount of car in 2012 = 19,995[0.0621432458]

Amount of car in 2012 = 1,242.5542

Amount of car in 2012 = $1,242.55 (Approx)

Semmy [17]

Answer:

x = 5m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance flying out = 12 km  (headwind)

Distance flying back = 12 km (tailwind)

total distance = 12 + 12 =24 km

wind speed = 1km/h

speed going out (with headwind) = (x - 1) km/h

speed coming back (with tailwind) = (x + 1) km/h

Time taken to go out = distance going out / speed going out

= 12 / (x-1)

Time taken to come back = distance coming back / speed coming back

= 12 / (x+1)

total time = time taken to go out + time taken to come back

5 =[ 12/(x-1) ] + [ 12/(x-1)]

expanding this, we will get

5x² - 24x - 5 = 0

solving quadratic equation, we will get

x = -1/5 (impossible because speed cannot be negative)

or

x = 5 (answer)

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

Z-score 1.96

Margin of error d= 0.04323

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The study variable in this case is

X: Number of people that oppose the use of photo-cop for issuing traffic tickets in a sample of 500.

n= 500

The parameter of interest is the proportion of people that opposes it.

The estimated proportion is p'= 300/500= 0.6

To estimate the population proportion per Confidence interval you have to approximate the distribution of the sample proportion p' to normal:

p'≈N(p;p(1-p)1/n)

The mean of this distribution is p and the variance is p*(1-p)*1/n

To construct the Confidence interval, since the value of the population proportion is unknown, an estimated variance is used:

p'(1-p')*1/n ⇒ then the estimated standard error is √(p'(1-p')*1/n)

The formula for the confidence interval is:

p' ± Z_{1-\alpha /2} * \sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }

Where "Z_{1-\alpha /2} * \sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }" represents the margin of error of the interval.

Now for a confidence level of 0.95 the value of Z is Z_{0.975}= 1.965

The estimated standard error is already calculated: \sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} } = 0.022

The margin of error (d) is then:

d= Z_{1-\alpha /2} * \sqrt{\frac{p'(1-p')}{n} }= 1.965 * 0.022

d= 0.04323

I hope it helps!

Franklin rides his bike to the beach averaging 18mph. He rides home along the same route. What speed must he average on the way
Sedaia [141]
  • <em>Answer:</em>

<em> 24 mph</em>

  • <em>Step-by-step explanation:</em>

<em>Hi there ! </em>

<em>Vm = 21mph</em>

<em>V1 = 18mph</em>

<em>V2 = ?</em>

<em>Vm = (V₁ + V₂)/2</em>

<em>2Vm = V₁ + V₂</em>

<em>V₂ = 2Vm - V₁</em>

<em>replace Vm ; V₁</em>

<em>V₂ = 2×21mph - 18mph</em>

<em>= 42mph - 18mph</em>

<em>= 24 mph</em>

<em>Good luck !</em>
