The mean distance for a group is the sum of individual numbers over the number of data. The mean distance of Group A is (1+1.5+3+3.2+2.8+1.5+1.8+2.5+2.2)/9=2.17 The mean distance of Group B is (<span>2+2.5+3.2+3+1.8+2.4+3+1.5+1.8)/9=2.36. Therefore, the mean is greater for group B than group A, but not doubling.</span>
First find the rate of growth using the formula of
A=p e^rt
A 7200
P 6000
E constant
R rate of growth?
T time 6 hours
We need to solve for r
R=[log (A/p)÷log (e)]÷t
R=(log(7,200÷6,000)÷log(e))÷6
R=0.03 rate of growth
Now predict how many bacteria will be present after 17 hours using the same formula
A=p e^rt
A ?
P 6000
R 0.03
E constant
T 17 hours
A=6,000×e^(0.03×17)
A=9,991.7 round your answer to get
A=9992
Y=-13+3
y=-10
That is a horizontal line, it has a slope of zero.
I believe that the answer is 6
