We assume the annual percentage increase is the same. We will work out the constant k using the formula

We have
P = 76
A = 72
t = 6 years (from 1992 to 1998)

Substitute into the formula
76=72e^{6k}
\frac{76}{72}=e^{8k}
Take log both sides give
ln( \frac{76}{72})=ln(e^{6k})
0.05406722127=6k
k=0.009

We can now work out the number of population by the end of 2012 using the formula

We have
A = 72 million
k = 0.009
t = 10 years (1992 to 2012)

P=72e^{0.009*10}P=78.78≈79 million

A recent study asked U. S. Adults to name 10 historic events that occurred during their lifetime that have had the greatest impa
Nadusha1986 [10]

Using the z-distribution, as we are working with a proportion, it is found that the 99% confidence interval for the proportion of all U. S. Adults who would include the 9/11 attacks on their list of 10 historic events is (0.7458, 0.7942). It means that we are 99% sure that the true proportion for all U.S. adults is between these two bounds.

<h3>What is a confidence interval of proportions?</h3>

A confidence interval of proportions is given by:

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which:

  • \pi is the sample proportion.
  • z is the critical value.
  • n is the sample size.

In this problem, the parameters are:

z = 2.575, n = 2000, \pi = 0.77

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.77 - 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.77(0.23)}{2000}} = 0.7458

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.77 + 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.77(0.23)}{2000}} = 0.7942

The 99% confidence interval for the proportion of all U. S. Adults who would include the 9/11 attacks on their list of 10 historic events is (0.7458, 0.7942). It means that we are 99% sure that the true proportion for all U.S. adults is between these two bounds.

Find the percentage of vacationers from<br> question 10 who spent between $1500<br> and $2000.
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

The percentage change of vacationers is 33.3 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The old value of the vacationers = $ 1500

The new value of the vacationers = $ 2000

Let the percentage variation = x %

Or, x % increase = \dfrac{\tyextrm new value - \textrm old value}{\textrm old value} × 100

Or,  x % increase = \dfrac{\tyextrm $ 2000 - \textrm $ 1500}{\textrm $ 1500} × 100

Or, x % increase = \frac{500}{1500} × 100

Or, x % increase = \frac{1}{3} × 100

Or, x % increase = \frac{100}{3}

∴  x  = 33.3 %

So, The percentage increase change is 33.3 %

Hence The percentage change of vacationers is 33.3 %   Answer
