Tim does not need to factor his amino acid consumption into the total protein intake because they are components of protein, not full protein

Yes.

Explanation:

Yes, amino acid can not be factor or broken down because it is the smallest unit of proteins. Proteins are made up of about 20 small amino acids. Proteins can be factor into amino acids but amino acids can't be factor into proteins because proteins are made up of amino acids but the amino acids does not formed from proteins so that's why Tim does not factor his amino acid  into total protein.

9.9 years

a = p(1 + rt) . . account balance after time t at rate r starting with principal p

3000 = 2500(1 + 0.0202t) . . filling in the given numbers

1.2 = 1 + 0.0202t . . divide by 2500

0.2 = 0.0202t . . . subtract 1

0.2/0.0202 = t ≈ 9.901

it will take about 9.9 years for the account balance to reach $3000.

the median of the data is 4.5.
