Answer:

  8.1 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

A model of the fraction remaining can be ...

  f = (1/2)^(t/37) . . . . t in hours

So, for the fraction remaining being 86%, we can solve for t using ...

  0.86 = 0.5^(t/37)

  log(0.86) = (t/37)log(0.5)

  t = 37·log(0.86)/log(0.5) ≈ 8.0509 ≈ 8.1 . . . hours

It takes about 8.1 hours to decay to 86% of the original concentration.

muminat
In a large population, 61% of the people are vaccinated, meaning there are 39% who are not. The problem asks for the probability that out of the 4 randomly selected people, at least one of them has been vaccinated. Therefore, we need to add all the possibilities that there could be one, two, three or four randomly selected persons who were vaccinated.

For only one person, we use P(1), same reasoning should hold for other subscripts.

P(1) = (61/100)(39/100)(39/100)(39/100) = 0.03618459
P(2) = (61/100)(61/100)(39/100)(39/100) = 0.05659641
P(3) = (61/100)(61/100)(61/100)(39/100) = 0.08852259
P(4) = (61/100)(61/100)(61/100)(61/100) = 0.13845841

Adding these probabilities, we have 0.319761. Therefore the probability of at least one person has been vaccinated out of 4 persons randomly selected is 0.32 or 32%, rounded off to the nearest hundredths.

katovenus [111]

Answer:

<h2>Option A is the answer(here the answer is calculated taking the whole value, without approximating it to a nearest value)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Annual interest rate is 2.75%. Hence, the monthly interest rate is \frac{2.75}{12}

The amount will be compounded (20\times12) = 240 times.

Every month they deposits $500.

In the first month that deposited $500 will be compounded 240 times.

It will be 500\times [1 + \frac{2.75}{1200} ]^{240}

In the second month $500 will be deposited again, this time it will be compounded 239 times.

It will give 500\times [1 + \frac{2.75}{1200} ]^{239}

Hence, the total after 20 years will be 500\times [1 + \frac{2.75}{1200} ]^{240} + 500\times [1 + \frac{2.75}{1200} ]^{239} + ........+ 500\times [1 + \frac{2.75}{1200} ]^{1} = 160110.6741
