The population function of the Western Lowland Gorillas can either represent population growth or population decay
<h3>How to model the population</h3>
The question is incomplete, as the resources to model the population of the Western Lowland Gorillas are not given.
However, the following is a general guide to solve the question.
An exponential function is represented as:

Where:
- (a) represent the initial value i.e. the initial population of the Western Lowland Gorillas
- (r) represents the rate at which the population increases or decreases.
- (x) represents the number of years since 2022
- (y) represents the population in x years
Given that the population of the Western Lowland Gorillas decreases, then the rate of the function would be 1 -r (i.e. an exponential decay)
Take for instance:

By comparison.
a = 2000 and 1 - r = 0.98
The above function can be used to model the population of the Western Lowland Gorillas

Answer:
There is strong evidence that less than 87% of the orders are delivered in less than 10 minutes.
Decision rule: Reject the null hypothesis if (P-value < level of significance)
Test statistic z=-2.70
Decision: Reject the null hypothesis (0.003<0.010)
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question we have to test an hypothesis.
The null and alternative hypothesis are:

The significance level is assumed to be 0.01.
The sample of size n=80 gives a proportion of p=61/80=0.7625.
The standard deviation is:

The statistic z is then

The P-value is

The P-value (0.003) is smaller than the significance level (0.010), so the effect is significant. The null hypothesis is rejected.
There is strong evidence that less than 87% of the orders are delivered in less than 10 minutes.
Decision rule: Reject the null hypothesis if (P-value < level of significance)
Test statistic z=-2.70
Decision: Reject the null hypothesis (0.003<0.010)
The distributive property: a(b + c) = ab + ac
(x - 3)(4x + 2) = (x)(4x + 2) + (-3)(4x + 2)
= (x)(4x) + (x)(2) + (-3)(4x) + (-3)(2) = 4x² + 2x - 12x - 6
<h3>= 4x² - 10x - 6</h3>
She says 35 because number 7 in line says 31, so 31+4=35...
I hope this helped you!
Variable x is ryans miles
amy-ryan=answer
40-31=x
x=9
ryan ran 9 miles
hope this helps
40-31=x is the equation
