How many adults experience nausea?

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

According to the table

anonymous · Answer

24

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

So probability of getting nausea (as a percentage) is

(24/1100)*100

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

since there are 1100 people total

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

the portion "*100" converts the decimal to a percent

anonymous · Answer

i thought you have to add all the numbers in the table then divide 24/x
 x being the numbers added..

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

If you add up all the numbers, you get 87

But there are 1100 people total...so something is off

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

You should add up all the numbers to get the reported total of 1100

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

this is an annuity problem, one sec while I find the formula

anonymous · Answer

ok

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

FV = P*((1+r)^n - 1)/r


FV = 3500*((1+0.05)^15 - 1)/0.05


FV = 75,524.9725587959


FV = 75,525  (round to the nearest dollar)

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

FV stands for future value
