Walter's savings account has a balance of $273. After 5 years, what will the amount of interest be at 5% compounded quarterly?

1 answer:

6 0

Given:
Principal = $273
Interest rate = 5% compounded quarterly
time = 5 years

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

A = amount of money accumulated plus interest
P = principal
r = interest rate (in decimal form)
n = number of times the interest is compounded per year
t = total number of years the amount is deposited

A = $273 (1 + 0.05/4)⁴*⁵
A = $273 (1 + 0.0125)²⁰
A = $273 (1.0125)²⁰
A = $273 * 1.2820
A = $349.99

$349.99 - 273 = $76.99

The compounded interest amounts to $76.99

The mean gross annual incomes of certified welders are normally distributed with the mean of $20,000 and a standard deviation of

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

At the 0.10 level of significance the z table gives critical values of -1.645 and 1.645 for two-tailed test.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the mean gross annual incomes of certified welders are normally distributed with the mean of $20,000 and a standard deviation of $2,000.

The ship building association wishes to find out whether their welders earn more or less than $20,000 annually.

Let $\mu$ = mean gross annual incomes of certified welders

So, Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : $\mu$ = $20,000

Alternate hypothesis, $H_A$ : $\mu \neq$ $20,000

Here, null hypothesis states that the mean income of welders is equal to $20,000.

On the other hand, alternate hypothesis states that the mean income of welders is not $20,000.

Also, the test statistics that would be used here is One-sample z test statistics as we know about the population standard deviation;

T.S. = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\bar X$ = sample mean income

$\sigma$ = population standard deviation = $2,000

n = sample size

Now, at the 0.10 level of significance the z table gives critical values of -1.645 and 1.645 for two-tailed test.

What is the sum of the infinite geometric series? mc010-1.jpg

ra1l [238]

You haven't provided the series, therefore, I can only help with the concept.

For an infinite geometric series, we have two possibilities for the common ratio (r):
for r > 1, the terms in the series will keep increasing infinitely and the only possible logic summation of the series would be infinity
for r < 1, the terms will decrease, therefore, we can formulate a rule to get the sum of the infinite series

In an infinite series with r < 1, the summation can be found using the following rule:
sum = $\frac{a_{1} }{1-r}$
where:
a₁ is the first term in the series
r is the common ratio

Example:
For the series:
2 , 1, 0.5 , 0.25 , ....
we have:
a₁ = 2
r = 0.5
Therefre:
sum = $\frac{2}{1-0.5} = 4$

Hope this helps :)
