2. John, an 20-yr-old college student, has to make a choice between two investment alternatives. One
option is to place $10,000 in a very secure investment that will give him 1 percent annual growth. The other
option is to put the $10,000 in the stock market, using a fund that has historially shown 5 percent growth. To
help John with the decision, you decide to provide some calculations showing the Accumulated Capital for
each alternative over a period of 40 years.
The future value of an amount invested in an interest bearing fund can be calculated with:
F = P[1+i]N
where:
F = future value
P = amount initially deposited (principle)
I = annual interest rate
N = number of years that the funds remain invested
Label the table the way you deem appropriate for another person to read and understand it.

3. For the following data:
a) calculate the average for each column of data
b) determine the sample standard deviation for each column of data, rounded to 2 decimals
c) develop a graph (chart) of the data (HINT: use XY scatter plot) and label the graph clearly
d) add a trendline on the graph made in c) for the data for Probe 1, include the trendline
equation and R2 value on graph

Part 1: Temperature Increase due to Incandescent Lighting
When energy is added to a fluid, the temperature of the fluid increases. An equation describing
this phenomenon is:
Q = M Cp T
A garage (24 ft x 24 ft x 10 ft) is illuminated by six 60-W incandescent bulbs. It is estimated that
90% of the energy to an incandescent bulb is dissipated as heat. If the bulbs are on for 3 hours,
how much would the temperature in the garage increase because of the light bulbs (assuming no
energy losses) given that:
Complete the Excel worksheet below to answer the above problem using the suggested formatting
from the Microsoft Excel Reading on Moodle and equations for every calculation.

Compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs have been available for years; they are very efficient, but a little pricey.
A CFL bulb that puts out as much light as a 60 W incandescent bulb might cost $10, compared to aboout $1
for the incandescent bulb. But CFL bulbs are expected to last (on average) 15,000 hours, compared to about
1,000 hours for an incandescent bulb. It is easy to see that you would need 10 incandescent bulbs (total
cost $15) to last the 15,000 hours that you would get from one ($10) CFL bulb; you save $5 and a lot of
climbing ladders to replace all those incandescent bulbs.
But there's more. A CFL bulb that puts out as much light as a 60 W incandescent bulb will use about 13 W.
According to the US Energy Information Administration (www.eia.doe.gov), residential electricity costs an
average of $0.1302 per kilowatt/hour (1 kWh = 3600 kJ) for May 2017.
Over the 15,000 hours that one CFL bulb is expected to last, how much will you save on power if you replace
an incandescent bulb in your home with a CFL bulb?
