es him the ability to make ATM withdrawals from that bank’s ATMs. Putting the money in an online savings account will earn him 4.85% annual interest, but he will be charged $3 every time he makes an ATM withdrawal. Assuming that Gareth’s ATM withdrawals do not affect the amount of interest he earns, roughly how many ATM withdrawals must Gareth make every year for the local savings account to be a better deal than the online savings account?

Answer:

Gareth should make 18 ATM withdrawals every year for better deal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Gareth has $2,000 to invest and local bank will earn him 2.2% annual interest.

The amount earned by local bank is: $\$2000\times \frac{2.2}{100}=\$44$

The money in an online savings account will earn him 4.85% annual interest, but he will be charged $3 every time he makes an ATM withdrawal.

The amount earned by online account $\$2000\times \frac{4.85}{100}=\$97$

Savings account has no ATM withdrawal charges but online savings account charge $3.00 per withdrawal.

Let x is the number of times he withdrawal money.

$97-3x=44\\3x=53\\x=17.67\approx 18$

Hence, Gareth should make 18 ATM withdrawals every year for better deal.

Gareth has $2,000 to invest. Putting the money in a savings account at his local bank will earn him 2.2% annual interest.

Interest earned in local bank = 2000 * 22.2% = 2000 * 0.022 = 44

Putting the money in an online savings account will earn him 4.85% annual interest

Interest earned in online account = 2000 * 4.85% = 2000 * 0.0485 = 97

He will be charged $3 every time he makes an ATM withdrawal.

In online account, the interest is 97 . If he withdraws 18 times then

Total ATM fee is 18 * 3= 54 . so 97 - 54 = 43

43 is lower than 44 that is interest of local account.

Therefore, 18 ATM withdrawals make local savings account to be a better deal than the online savings account every year.

ser-zykov [4K]

The sale price S (in dollars) of an item is given by the formula

S=L−rL , where L is the list price (in dollars) and r is the discount rate.

Since, S = L -rL

rL = L -S

r = $\frac{L-S}{L}$

r = $1-\frac{S}{L}$

Since, the listed price of the shirt is $30, we have to find the discount rate.

Therefore, r = $1-\frac{S}{30}$ is the discount rate.

Sean and his sister, Betty equally mow 8/9th the total area of a lawn. What fraction of the total area did each of them mow? (Sh

Alexxx [7]

Since they mowed $\frac{8}{9}$ of the lawn in two equal parts, we need to split the pieces that were mowed into two equal groups. We know that in total they mowed 8 out of the total 9 pieces of lawn, so two equal groups that make 8 would be of size 4, since $\frac{8}{2}=4$ . Then they each mowed $\frac{4}{9}$ of the lawn.

An automated egg carton loader has a 1% probability of cracking an egg, and a customer will complain if more than one egg per do

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

a) Binomial distribution B(n=12,p=0.01)

b) P=0.007

c) P=0.999924

d) P=0.366

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The distribution of cracked eggs per dozen should be a binomial distribution B(12,0.01), as it can model 12 independent events.

b) To calculate the probability of having a carton of dozen eggs with more than one cracked egg, we will first calculate the probabilities of having zero or one cracked egg.

$P(k=0)=\binom{12}{0}p^0(1-p)^{12}=1*1*0.99^{12}=1*0.886=0.886\\\\P(k=1)=\binom{12}{1}p^1(1-p)^{11}=12*0.01*0.99^{11}=12*0.01*0.895=0.107$

Then,

$P(k>1)=1-(P(k=0)+P(k=1))=1-(0.886+0.107)=1-0.993=0.007$

c) In this case, the distribution is B(1200,0.01)

$P(k=0)=\binom{1200}{0}p^0(1-p)^{12}=1*1*0.99^{1200}=1* 0.000006 = 0.000006 \\\\ P(k=1)=\binom{1200}{1}p^1(1-p)^{1199}=1200*0.01*0.99^{1199}=1200*0.01* 0.000006 \\\\P(k=1)= 0.00007\\\\\\P(k\leq1)=0.000006+0.000070=0.000076\\\\\\P(k>1)=1-P(k\leq 1)=1-0.000076=0.999924$

d) In this case, the distribution is B(100,0.01)

We can calculate this probability as the probability of having 0 cracked eggs in a batch of 100 eggs.

$P(k=0)=\binom{100}{0}p^0(1-p)^{100}=0.99^{100}=0.366$

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

a) $X=3300$

b) $Y=7770$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Number Teachers $T=6$

Number Student $S=12$

Number in committee $n=5$

a) Generally the equation for exactly 3 students on the committee is mathematically given by

$X=^{S}C_3*^{T}C_3$

$X=^{12}C_3*^{6}C_3$

$X=3300$

b) Generally the equation for at least one teacher and at least one student on the committee is mathematically given by

Total Ways-(no of ways of selection no teacher or student)

Where total Ways

$T=^{(6+12)}C_5$

$T=8568$

Therefore

$Y=8568-^{6}C_0*^{12}C_5+^{12}C_0*^{6}C_5$

$Y=8568-798$

$Y=7770$
