You plan to accumulate 100,000 at the end of 42 years by making the follow-

Mariana [72]

Answer:

Y = 479.17

Step-by-step explanation:

At the end of year 14, the balance from the deposits of X can be found using the annuity due formula:

A = P(1+r/n)((1 +r/n)^(nt) -1)/(r/n)

where P is the periodic payment, n is the number of payments and compoundings per year, t is the number of years, and r is the annual interest rate.

A = X(1.07)(1.07^14 -1)/0.07 ≈ 24.129022X

This accumulated amount continues to earn interest for the next 28 years, so will further be multiplied by 1.07^28. Then the final balance due to deposits of X will be ...

Ax = (24.129022X)(1.07^28) = 160.429967X

__

The same annuity due formula can be used for the deposits of Y for the last 10 years of the interval:

Ay = Y(1.07)(1.07^10 -1)/.07 = 14.783599Y

__

Now we can write the two equations in the two unknowns:

Ax +Ay = 100,000

X - Y = 100

From the latter, we have ...

X = Y +100

So the first equation becomes ...

160.429967(Y +100) +14.783599Y = 100000

175.213566Y +16,043.00 = 100,000

Y = (100,000 -16,043)/175.213566 ≈ 479.17

Y is 479.17

Answer:

a) MA conditional with C can be interpreted as A which is known and C which is unknown match

b) 10/11

c) 2/11

Step-by-step explanation:

A={A is the guilty party}

$M_A$ = {A blood type matches that of the guilty party}

C = {B is the guilty party}

$M_C$ = {B blood type matches that of the guilty party}

a) The chance is 10% because MA conditional with C can be interpreted as A which is known and C which is unknown match

b) the probability that A is the guilty party is given by $P(A/M_A)$ . Using bayes theorem:

$P(A/M_A)=\frac{P(M_A/A)P(A)}{P(M_A/A)P(A)+P(M_C/C)P(C)} =\frac{1*1/2}{(1*1/2)+(1/10*1/2)} =\frac{10}{11}$

c) the probability that B’s blood type matches that of the guilty party is given as $P(M_C/M_A)$ . Using LOTS Therefore:

$P(M_C/M_A)=P(M_C/M_A,A)P(A/M_A)+P(M_C/M_A,A)P(C/M_A)=\frac{1}{10}*\frac{10}{11} +1*\frac{1}{11} =\frac{2}{11}$
