The calculation of Simple Interest is done using the formula I = \frac{P T R }{100}

where P = principal, R = interest rate, and T = time.

In this case, P = $10,000, R = 2%, and T = 3 years.

By inserting the values into the equation,

I =\frac{10,000 x 2 x 3 }{100} =\frac{60000}{100} = 600

The total amount repaid by Stephen comes to 10,000+600 = $10,600

2% of 10000 equals $200
3 years translates to $600
therefore stephen will pay back 10000 plus 600 which totals $10600

Svet_ta [12734]

Answer:

172-2.51\frac{16}{\sqrt{23}}=163.626    

172+2.51\frac{16}{\sqrt{23}}=180.374

Hence, in this case, the 98% confidence interval would be (163.626;180.374)    

Step-by-step breakdown:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval represents a range that is likely to encompass a population value within a specific confidence level, typically expressed as a percentage whereby a population mean falls between an upper and lower limit.

The margin of errorindicates the span of values surrounding the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

A normal distributionillustrates a probability distribution that is symmetrical around the mean, signifying that values near the mean occur more frequently than those farther away from it.

\bar X=172 denote the sample mean

\mu population mean (the variable of interest)

s=16 signifies the sample standard deviation

n=23 represents the sample size  

The solution to the query

The equation for the confidence interval of the mean is given by the following formula:

\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

To determine the critical value t_{\alpha/2}, we first need to calculate the degrees of freedom, which is expressed as:

df=n-1=23-1=22

Since the confidence level is 0.98 or 98%, we find the value of \alpha=0.02 and \alpha/2 =0.01 using tools like Excel or a calculator, where the Excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.01,22)". This yields t_{\alpha/2}=2.51

Having all components ready, we can substitute into formula (1):

172-2.51\frac{16}{\sqrt{23}}=163.626    

172+2.51\frac{16}{\sqrt{23}}=180.374

Thus, for this case, the 98% confidence interval will be (163.626;180.374)

Using a profit P1 of $5,000, a profit P2 of $4,500, and a profit P3 of $4,000, calculate a 95% confidence interval for the mean
PIT_PIT [12445]

Answer:

Confidence Interval

Lower Limit = $4,233.3

Upper Limit = $4,766.7

With 95% certainty, SoftBus can anticipate that the average profit per customer will fall within the range of $4,233.30 to $4,766.7, based on the provided sample data.

Step-by-step explanation:

The z-score corresponding to 95% is 1.96

             Profit         Mean      Square Root

                           Difference    of MD

P1        $5,000       $500        $250,000

P2         4,500          0              0

P3         4,000       -500         $250,000

Total $13,500                        $500,000

Mean $4,500 ($13,500/3)    $166,667 ($500,000/3)

Standard Deviation = Square root of $166,667 = 408.2

Margin of error = (z-score * standard deviation)/n

= (1.96 * 408.2)/3

= 266.7

= $266.7

Confidence Interval = Sample mean +/- Margin of error

= $4,500 +/- 266.7

Lower Limit = $4,233.3 ($4,500 - $266.7)

Upper Limit = $4,766.7 ($4,500 + $266.7)

AnnZ [12381]

Answer:

550

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 17% of the applicants (3,240) will receive acceptance.

0.17 * 3,240 = 550.8

Thus, 550 students will gain acceptance

we must round down since only 17% can be accepted, and having 0.8 of a person is not feasible

hope this helps

Inessa [12570]

Answer:

Well, 1000>(15x+t)+(50x+100t) if there are children aboard.

B. The maximum amount is 19 if one adult is going with 18 children (meal plan excluded). Meanwhile, $1000

C. If solely adults are participating, then a maximum of 8 adults can join if they plan to use the raffle ticket for meals as well. Otherwise, the maximum number would be 10.

I hope this interpretation is accurate.
