X² - 7x - 8 = 0
Applying the Viet theorem
x₁ + x₂ = -p
-1 + x₂ = 7
x₂ = 7 + 1
x₂ = 8

Helena has taken out a $9,300 unsubsidized Stafford loan to pay for her college education. She plans to graduate in four years.
Leona [12618]
The effective annual interest rate calculations yield:
i = (1 + 0.064/12)^12 - 1 = 0.066
For year 1: the interest amounts to $613.80 (calculating $9300 multiplied by 0.066)
For year 2: the interest totals $654.31 (adding year 1’s interest to $9300 and multiplying by 0.066)
For year 3: the interest is $656.98 (following the same process as year 2)
For year 4: the interest is $657.16

The cumulative interest totals: $2582.25
The present value of this sum is:
P = 2582.23 / (1 + 0.066)^4 = $1999.72

Thus, the final answer is $1999.72.

Orange M&amp;M’s: The M&amp;M’s web site says that 20% of milk chocolate M&amp;M’s are orange. Let’s assume this is true and set
Zina [12379]

Answer:

The answer is option (A).

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X represent the count of orange milk chocolate M&M’s.

The proportion of orange milk chocolate M&M’s is defined as p = 0.20.

In a small bag containing milk chocolate M&M’s, n is established at 55.The occurrence of an orange milk chocolate M&M is independent of the remaining candies.

The random variable X conforms to a Binomial distribution characterized by parameters n = 55 and p = 0.20.

Calculating the average number of orange milk chocolate M&M’s in a package of 55 candies proceeds as follows:

E(X)=np

It is noted that in a randomly selected pack of milk chocolate M&M's there were 14 orange M&M's, indicating that the ratio of orange milk chocolate M&M's in that selection was 25.5%.

This ratio is not unexpected.

This is due to the expected count of orange milk chocolate M&M’s in a 55 candy bag being estimated at 11. Therefore, encountering 14 orange milk chocolate M&M’s does not seem unusual.

Unusual instances typically have exceedingly low probabilities, specifically below 0.05.

To calculate the probability of having P (X ≥ 14), follow the subsequent calculation:

P(X\geq 14)=\sum\limits^{55}_{x=14}{{55\choose x}0.20^{x}(1-0.20)^{55-x}}

The likelihood of obtaining 14 or more orange candies in a milk chocolate M&M’s bag is 0.1968.

This probability is considerably higher than 0.05.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).
