Answer:

A) Total amount deposited over the length of investment = $177600

B) Interest accrued upon retirement = $1,043,678.01

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we can see that he started the savings at the age of 28 and ended when he retired at the age of 65. Thus, number of years = 65 - 28 = 37 years

We are told he deposited $400 each month and that upon retirement it had grown to $1,161,278.01.

Since he deposited $400 each month, in a year which has 12 months, he deposited;

Amount deposited each year = 12 × 400 = $4800

Now, it took 37 years before he retired which was the point at which he stopped the deposit.

Thus;

Total Amount deposited upon retirement = Amount deposited each year × number of years he deposited.

Thus;

Total amount deposited over the length of investment upon retirement = 4800 × 37 = $177600

Now,we have seen that his retirement savings reads $1,161,278.01.

Thus is way more than the deposits he made throughout his work years.

This means there was interest on the money.

Interest = $1,161,278.01 - $177600

Interest = $1,043,678.01

Please help! Tim and Jane both work at a company that sells boxes of breakfast cereal. The boxes of cereal cost £3.00 and the am

patriot [66]

Answer: Jane needs to reduce the price by 20%

Step-by-step explanation: The first thing to note is the original price of the cereal and that is given as £3 for every 160 grams.

The change proposed by Tim is as follows;

Put 25% more cereal in the box (and do not change the price). That means 160 g plus 25%. Mathematically, this can be expressed as;

New weight = 160 + (160 * 25%)

New weight = 160 + (160 * 0.25)

New weight = 160 + 40

New weight = 200

Hence, Tim's idea would result in a cereal box with 200 grams that still cost £3. At this rate, each gram would cost

1 gram = Price / Total grams

1 gram = 3/200

1 gram = 0.015

However, Jane has proposed that the amount of cereal in the box should not be changed, which means the box of cereals should remain 160 grams. The price should be reduced to give the same value as Tim's idea. This means 160 g of cereals should now sell for £0.015 per gram. That would bring the price of 160 g to,

1 gram = 0.015

160 grams = 0.015 * 160

160 grams = 2.4

With Jane's proposal, a 160 g box of cereal should now be sold at £2.4 each. That is a reduction of £0.6

Therefore, the percentage reduction can be calculated as follows;

% decrease = (0.6/3) * 100

% decrease = (1/5) * 100

% decrease = 20

From the results above, Jane should reduce the price (£3 per 160 g) by 20%.

Suppose that only 20% of all drivers come to a complete stop at an intersection having flashing red lights in all directions whe

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

a) 91.33% probability that at most 6 will come to a complete stop

b) 10.91% probability that exactly 6 will come to a complete stop.

c) 19.58% probability that at least 6 will come to a complete stop

d) 4 of the next 20 drivers do you expect to come to a complete stop

Step-by-step explanation:

For each driver, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they will come to a complete stop, or they will not. The probability of a driver coming to a complete stop is independent of other drivers. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

20% of all drivers come to a complete stop at an intersection having flashing red lights in all directions when no other cars are visible.

This means that $p = 0.2$

20 drivers

This means that $n = 20$

a. at most 6 will come to a complete stop?

$P(X \leq 6) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{20,0}.(0.2)^{0}.(0.8)^{20} = 0.0115$

$P(X = 1) = C_{20,1}.(0.2)^{1}.(0.8)^{19} = 0.0576$

$P(X = 2) = C_{20,2}.(0.2)^{2}.(0.8)^{18} = 0.1369$

$P(X = 3) = C_{20,3}.(0.2)^{3}.(0.8)^{17} = 0.2054$

$P(X = 4) = C_{20,4}.(0.2)^{4}.(0.8)^{16} = 0.2182$

$P(X = 5) = C_{20,5}.(0.2)^{5}.(0.8)^{15} = 0.1746$

$P(X = 6) = C_{20,6}.(0.2)^{6}.(0.8)^{14} = 0.1091$

$P(X \leq 6) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) = 0.0115 + 0.0576 + 0.1369 + 0.2054 + 0.2182 + 0.1746 + 0.1091 = 0.9133$

91.33% probability that at most 6 will come to a complete stop

b. Exactly 6 will come to a complete stop?

$P(X = 6) = C_{20,6}.(0.2)^{6}.(0.8)^{14} = 0.1091$

10.91% probability that exactly 6 will come to a complete stop.

c. At least 6 will come to a complete stop?

Either less than 6 will come to a complete stop, or at least 6 will. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

$P(X < 6) + P(X \geq 6) = 1$

We want $P(X \geq 6)$ . So

$P(X \geq 6) = 1 - P(X < 6)$

In which

$P(X < 6) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) = 0.0115 + 0.0576 + 0.1369 + 0.2054 + 0.2182 + 0.1746 = 0.8042$

$P(X \geq 6) = 1 - P(X < 6) = 1 - 0.8042 = 0.1958$

19.58% probability that at least 6 will come to a complete stop

d. How many of the next 20 drivers do you expect to come to a complete stop?

The expected value of the binomial distribution is

$E(X) = np = 20*0.2 = 4$

4 of the next 20 drivers do you expect to come to a complete stop
