Suppose that a population of bacteria triples every hour and starts with 700 bacteria.
(a) Find an expression for the number n of bacteria after t hours.
(b) Estimate the rate of growth of the bacteria population after 1.5 hours.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) An expression for the number n of bacteria after t hours is n(t)=700*[tex]3^{t}[/tex]

(b) The rate of growth of the bacteria population after 1.5 hours is 3,996 number of bacteria per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

An exponential function is one in which the independent variable x appears in the exponent and has a constant a as its base. Its expression is:

f(x)=aˣ

being a real positive.

When 0 <a <1, then the exponential function is a decreasing function and when a> 1, it is an increasing function.

An exponential function allows us to refer to phenomena that grow faster and faster, such as population growth.

In that case, the formula used to model the growth of a population is given by:

P(t)=P0*[tex]a^{t}[/tex]

where the function P (t) grows exponentially and represents the quantity of the population at time t; a represents the constant of growth or decrease and P0 represents the initial population at time zero.

In this case:

P0=700a=3

Replacing, you get:

P(t)=700*[tex]3^{t}[/tex]

An expression for the number n of bacteria after t hours is n(t)=700*[tex]3^{t}[/tex]

The derivative of this function P (t) is:

n'(t)=700*ln(3)*[tex]3^{t}[/tex]

and reflects the growth rate of the bacteria population.

So, the rate of growth of the bacteria population after 1.5 hours is:

n(1.5)=700*ln(3)*[tex]3^{1.5}[/tex]

Solving, you get:

n(1.5)≅ 3,996

The rate of growth of the bacteria population after 1.5 hours is 3,996 number of bacteria per hour.

Applicants to a psychology department have normally distributed GRE scores with a mean, LaTeX: \muμ, of 544 and a standard deviation, LaTeX: \sigmaÏ, of 103. What percentage of applicants scored between 500 and 700? Round to the nearest percent.A. -24% B. 78% C. 2296 D. 24% E. 5%

Answers

Answer:

The probability is P(500 < X  < 700 ) =  0.60044

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The mean is  [tex]\mu = 544[/tex]

     The standard deviation is  [tex]\sigma = 103[/tex]

Generally the percentage of applicant that scored between 500 and 700 is mathematically represented as

      [tex]P(500 < X < 700 ) = P(\frac{500 - 544}{103} < \frac{X - \mu }{\sigma } < \frac{700 - 544}{103} )[/tex]

[tex]\frac{X -\mu}{\sigma }  =  Z (The  \ standardized \  value\  of  \ X )[/tex]

      [tex]P(500 < X < 700 ) = P(-0.4272 < Z < 1.5146 )[/tex]

=>   [tex]P(500 < X < 700 ) = P( Z< 1.5146 ) - P ( Z < -0.4272 )[/tex]

Generally from the z-table, the area under the normal curve to the left corresponding to    1.5146 and     -0.4272  is

  P(  Z<  1.5146 )  =  0.93506

   P ( Z <   -0.4272 ) = 0.33462

So

       P(500 < X  < 700 ) =  0.93506 -  0.33462

=>    P(500 < X  < 700 ) =  0.60044

====================================================

Explanation:

Check out the diagram below.

On the left side shows ASA can be used to prove the triangles congruent. Note the color coding to see how the angles match up. Also note that the segment TR is between angles STR and SRT. The order is important because ASA is different from AAS.

Angle STR = Angle VTU because they are vertical angles

Angle SRT = Angle VUT since they are alternate interior angles. Note how SR is parallel to UV. If the lines weren't parallel, then the alternate interior angles would not be congruent.

We can use AAS because if we know two angles of a triangle, we can find the third angle. Despite the fact that something like RST looks like a right angle, we don't have enough info to say it is or not. The square angle marker is missing. So it could be 90 degrees, or it might be something like 89 degrees instead. We don't have enough info. So we cannot use HL.

AAA or AA is not a congruence theorem. It's a similarity theorem. So we cross this off the list.

During the winter months, heating bills can be expensive. A contractor claims that installing a new brand of insulation will considerably lower your heating bill (which was $205 last month). After conducting the test (assuming the data were provided). you find that the results are significant at the 5% level. You may also conclude: __________.a. the test would also be significant at the 10% level. b. the test would also be significant at the 1% level. c. both of the above. d. none of the above.

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is  a

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally the null hypothesis is  rejected (that the result is significant ) when the p-value is less that the the level of significance

Now from the question when the the level of significance was 5% the p-value was less than the level of significance so also when the level of significance is   10% the p-value will be less than the level of significance hence null hypothesis will also be rejected at this level(that is the result will also  be significant at the level of significance )

gets paid 15 per hour what is the minumim number of hours that joseph must work per week to make $450 per moth? (1moth=4weeks)

Answers

Answer:

Minimum of 7 1/2 hours ( 7 hours, and 30 minutes )

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate = money / time

time = money / rate

_____________

1 month = 4 weeks

1 week = 7 days

1 day = 24 hours

1 hour = 60 minutes

_____________

$15 / 1 hour = 1 day / 24 hours = 1 week / 7 days = 1 month / 4 weeks = $450 / 1 month.

$15 / 1 hour / 1 week = $450 / 1 month

$15 / 1 hour / 1 week = $450 / 4 weeks

$15 / 1 hour / 1 week = $112.5 / 1 week

$15 / 1 hour = $112.5

112.5 / 15 = 7.5 hours.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the points (-6,2) and (4,-3)

Answers

Answer:

The equation is:  9x-y = 56

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two point:  (x,y) = (-6,2)

                            (x,y) = (4,-3)

Now, to find the slope of the line:

Slope =   y1-y2/x1-x2  => 2-4/-6-(-3) = -1/9

Then, the equation of the line passing through a point:

=>   y-y1 = m(x-x1)

=>   y-2 =  -1/9(x-6)

=>  1(y-2) = -9(x-6)

=>  y-2 = -9x+54

=>  9x-y = 56

What is the probability of getting one or fewer people with a chronic heart condition in a sample of 22 if 25% of the population in this age bracket?

Answers

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

The National Center for Health Statistics reports that 25% of all Americans between the ages of 65 and 74 have a chronic heart condition. Suppose you live in a state where the environment is conducive to good health and low stress and you believe the conditions in your state promote healthy hearts. To investigate this theory, you conduct a random telephone survey of 25 persons 65 to 74 years of age in your state.

Suppose only one person in your survey has a chronic heart condition. What is the probability of getting one or fewer people with a chronic heart condition in a sample of 25 if 25% of the population in this age bracket has this health problem?

Solution :

Chronic heart disease is a condition where a person's heart have trouble to pump blood to the body. It develops over a period of time.

In the context, we can see from the figures from National Center for Health Statistics that the expected number of persons of age 65 - 74 years having a chronic heart disease is about

25 % of 25 = 6.25

Now by Poisson's ratio, the probability of choosing the sample where only one person having heart disease is 1.4%
