Still trying to fake it CTD. What you need to look at is converting ONE compounding period to another while keeping the actual annual interest rate the same: From your very own first reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compound_interestTranslating different compounding periods:
B) You know the equivalent annual interest rate is 4%, but it will be compounded quarterly. You need to find the interest rate that will be applied each quarter.
{1+.04}^(1/4)-1 = .00985341
$100*(1+ .009853)*(1+ .009853)*(1+ .009853)*(1+ .009853) = $104 Now let's do it for monthly compounding for the same actual annual rate: {1+.04}^(1/12)-1 = 0.003273739782198863859294320415879 $100*(1+ 0.00327374)*(1+ 0.00327374)*(1+ 0.00327374)*(1+ 0.00327374)*(1+ 0.00327374)*(1+ 0.00327374)*(1+ 0.00327374)*(1+ 0.00327374)*(1+ 0.00327374)*(1+ 0.00327374)*(1+ 0.00327374)*(1+ 0.00327374) = ... (the envelope please) ... $104.00 This is how you honestly compare interest rates to decay rates. Still in denial? Enjoy. I'm enjoying it, a little. It's a little sad, but very instructional to anyone who'll go look at the page & see what you snipped out & how you try to alter the context of what wiki is saying. Tell me, how did you manage to find the "B" without first reading the "A"? Or did the "A" soar over your head? This is an all-time classic! I'll say one thing for you: you are the most brazen evolutionist I've ever encountered. Thanks for making it clear that you're religion is fit only to target the uneducated, and unwilling-to-be-educated. Any one of those links will suffice to set the record straight, so anyone you fool must not want to know the truth. Do you think it bothers me that you'll succeed in fooling such? They don't need you; they can manage just fine on their own. Thus, your only remaining purpose for posting this is to become their leader. What good would an army of a million such fools be to you? Have you ever asked yourself that, or can you plan so far ahead? Might as well buy (or build) an army of dolls. (Or is that what the Straw Legion project is about?)
Dark Matter + Dark Energy = Dark Truth"We find that such evidence demonstrates that the ID argument is dependent upon setting a scientifically unreasonable burden of proof for the theory of evolution." - Judge Jones Kitzmiller case http://www.talkreason.org/articles/Falsify.cfm"To Compel A Man To Furnish Funds For The Propagation Of Ideas He Disbelieves And Abhors Is Sinful And Tyrannical." - Thomas Jefferson "And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with his wrath?" - Thomas Jefferson
