Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
In this problem we have a exponential function of the form

where
y ----> represent the pool’s loss of water
x ----> the number of days
a is the initial value
a=25,700 gal
b ----> is the base
r=15%=15/100=0.15
b=(1-r)=1-0.15=0.85
The function is equal to

Let x be the score of the 3rd quiz,, then the average score will be:
(83+91+x)/3, which = (174+x)/3. but this average should be greater or equal to 85 and smaller or equal to 90:
85 ≤ (174+x)/3 ≤ 90
1st multiply all terms with 3 → 255 ≤(174+x) ≤ 270
2nd subtract 173 from all terms → 255-174 ≤174-174+x ≤270-174
81 ≤ x ≤ 96
The answer is 120 because 13 times 8 equals 104, and all you have to do is find the base edge length of the triangle which is found by subtracting 13 from the 17 and getting 4 for the triangle base length, multiplying it by the height (8) which you get 32, dividing it by two to get 16, add 104 and there's your answer.

As an aid to the establishment of personnel requirements, the director of a hospital wishes to estimate the mean number of people who are admitted to the emergency room during a 24-hour period. The director randomly selects 64 different 24-hour periods and determines the number of admissions for each. For this sample, X = 396 and S = 100. Using the sample standard deviation as an estimate for the population standard deviation, what size sample should the director choose if she wishes to estimate the mean number of admissions per 24-hour period to within 1 admission with 99% reliability, what size sample should she choose?
Answer:
Sample size n = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
We use the formula for Margin of Error for the question
Margin of Error = z × Standard deviation/√n
Margin of Error = 1
z score for 99% confidence interval = 2.576
Standard deviation = 100
1 = 2.576 × 100/√n
1 × √n = 257.6
√n = 257.6/1
n = √257.6
n = 16.049922118
Approximately = 16
Therefore, the sample size = 16
I think 40 is the first term in the pattern.
