Use the formula for the value of an annuity to solve Exercises 77–84. Round answers to the nearest dollar. To offer scholarship funds to children of employees, a company invests \(\$ 10,000\) at the end of every three months in an annuity that pays \(10.5 \%\) compounded quarterly. a. How much will the company have in scholarship funds at the end of ten years? b. Find the interest.
What is the difference between a geometric sequence and an infinite geometric series?
The table shows the population of Texas for 2000 and 2010 with estimates given by the U.S. Census Bureau for 2001 through 2009 \(\begin{array}{llllll}{\text { Year }} & {2000} & {2001} & {2002} & {2003} & {2004} \\ \hline \text { Population } & {20.85} & {21.27} & {21.70} & {22.13} & {22.57} & {23.02} \\\ \hline\end{array}\) \(\begin{array}{llllll}{\text { Year }} & {2006} & {2007} & {2008} & {2009} & {2010} \\ \hline \text { Population } & {23.48} & {23.95} & {24.43} & {24.92} & {25.15} \\ {\text { in millions }} & {23.48} & {23.95} & {24.43} & {24.92} & {25.15}\end{array}\) a. Divide the population for each year by the population in the preceding year. Round to two decimal places and show that Texas has a population increase that is approximately geometric. b. Write the general term of the geometric sequence modeling Texas's population, in millions, \(n\) years after 1999 c. Use your model from part (b) to project Texas's population, in millions, for the year \(2020 .\) Round to two decimal places.
Mega Millions is a multi-state lottery played in most U.S. states. As of this writing, the top cash prize was \(\$ 656\) million, going to three lucky winners in three states. Players pick five different numbers from 1 to 56 and one number from 1 to \(46 .\) Use this information to solve Exercises \(27-30 .\) Express all probabilities as fractions. A player wins a minimum award of \(\$ 150\) by correctly matching three numbers drawn from white balls \((1 \text { through } 56\) ) and matching the number on the gold Mega Ball \((1 \text { through } 46)\) What is the probability of winning this consolation prize?
Explaining the Concepts Write a probability word problem whose answer is one of the following fractions: \(\frac{1}{6}\) or \(\frac{1}{4}\) or \(\frac{1}{3}\)
