Step 1 :Given that the principal amount (P) is $750, the annual interest rate (r) is 4% or 0.04, the number of times interest is compounded per year (n) is 2, and the number of years (t) is 4.
Step 2 :We can use the compound interest formula \(A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}\) to calculate the amount of money the student will have after 4 years.
Step 3 :Substitute the given values into the formula: \(A = 750(1 + \frac{0.04}{2})^{2*4}\).
Step 4 :Calculate the value inside the parentheses: \(1 + \frac{0.04}{2} = 1.02\).
Step 5 :Raise 1.02 to the power of 8: \(1.02^{8} = 1.17186\).
Step 6 :Multiply 750 by 1.17186 to get the total amount: \(750 * 1.17186 = 878.895\).
Step 7 :Round this amount to the nearest dollar to get the final answer: \(\boxed{879}\) dollars.
