Answer:
There were 10 flies originally
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have an exponential growth, we will be having a constant percentage of increase and we can set up the increase at any day using the following equation;
V = I(1+r)^d
where V is the number of flies on a particular day
I is the initial number of flies
r is the constant increase in percentage
and d is the number of days.
So we have for the second day;
60 = I(1+r)^2 ••••••(i)
For the fourth day, we have;
360 = I(1+r)^4 ••••••••(ii)
divide equation ii by i; we have;
360/60 = (1+r)^4/(1+r)^2
6 = (1+r)^2
(√6)^2 = (1+r)^2
1 + r = √6
r = √6 - 1
So we can substitute the value of r in any of the equations to get I which is the initial number of flies
Let’s use equation 1
60 = I(1 + r)^2
60 = I(1 + √6 -1)^2
60 = I(√6)^2
60 = 6I
I = 60/6
I = 10 flies
8 * 24 feet = 192 sq feet per 5 hours
12* 36 = 432 square feet
432 is 2.25 times the area of 192 square feet
So, it takes 5 * 2.25 = 11.25 hours
Answer:
The strongest relation between the two factors is B.) -0.8
Step-by-step explanation:
The correlation coefficient typically varies from -1 to 1.
The value of -1 for the correlation coefficient denotes that the two variables are have a very strong negative correlation.
The value of +1 for the correlation coefficient denotes that the two variables are have a very strong negative correlation.
Therefore among the four options given of -0.15, -0.8, 0.38, 0.03 the strongest relation between two factors is given by -0.8 but as the '-' sign indicates the two factors are negatively correlated.
Negative correlation means that if one variable is high the other would be low.
Positive correlation means that if one variable is high then the other variable is also high and if one variable is low then the other is also low.
