Biography

I often tell my students that when passions, talents and skills align, magic happens. My passions are learning and teaching, and I feel that I was born to do those things. I also have broad and deep experience in science and teaching that have honed my skills. I have loved and taught cross-culturally as well, which has pushed me to be even more effective and efficient as a teacher.

Intro Stats / AP Statistics

Barney buys a new car that costs $21, 000. He takes out a 5-year loan and intends to make monthly payments. He agrees to pay 4.5% annual interest compounded monthly. Danny buys the same car, but he has saved for the car ahead of time, and doesn’t need to take out a loan. He made monthly payments for five years into an account that paid him 4.5% interest compounded monthly.
a) Find Barney’s monthly payment, and then find the total amount he will pay for his car over the course of the loan.
b) Find out how much Danny saved every month in order to have the money to buy the car. How much total money, over the course of his five years of saving, did he end up paying for his car
