Suppose you deposit $5,000 in a savings account that earns 3% annual interest. If you make no other withdrawals or deposits, how many years will it take the account balance to reach at least $6,000? A. 10 years. B. 6 years. C. 7 years. D. 4 years

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: You need to use the equation y=p(1+r)^t where p= the principle (initial amount), r= the rate of decay or growth, and t= the time. So y=5,000(1.03)^x is the equation you'd want to use. At 6 years you'd have $5,970.3 and at 7 $6,149.40, so the answer is C.
Answer 2
Answer: taking into consideration that the interest is compound (yearly) 
the amount of money gather through the years can be calculated by 

A = P (1+r)^(t)
6000 = 5000 (1.03)^t

t = ln(6000/5000)/ln(1.03) = 6.16 ≈ 7

c. 7 years

What is a rational number between the two given numbers?
8/13 and 7/10.

Answers

to find the rational number inbetween those 2 numbers you have to find the average, so 8/13 plus 7/10= 1.315384615384615, than divide that by 2 which equals 0.657692307692308 (0.658 rounded)

0.648 is the rational number inbetween 8/13 and 7/10

Kelly and Daniel surveyed 6 of their friends to find the number of pets in each of their households. They recorded the results from each home in a list. 4, 1, 2, 1, 0, 1 What is the mean absolute deviation of this data set? Enter your answer in the box.

Answers

Answer:

The mean absolute deviation is 1

Step-by-step equation =

Take all of the numbers and add them together.

4+1+2+1+0+1= 9

Then divide by how many numbers there are. In this word problem its 6.

Divide 9 by 6.

9 ÷ 6 = 1.5

So 1.5 would be our mean.

To find the mean absolute deviation subtract our mean and our original numbers.

1.5 - 4 = 2.5

1.5 - 1 = 0.5

1.5 - 2 = -0.5

1.5 - 1 = 0.5

1.5 - 0 = 1.5

1.5 - 1 = 0.5

Add all of those numbers together.

2.5 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 1.5 + 0.5 = 6

Even though one of the numbers was a negative answer we add it as a positive because the mean absolute deviation can never be negative

Divide by the amount of numbers you added.

6 ÷ 6 = 1

So the mean absolute deviation is 1
