Hi!

Let's find how much bacteria it grows per hour. 
2400 - 2000 = 400
bacteria per (divided by) hour
400/6 = 66.7
After 16 hours...
66.7 x 16 = 1067.2
Plus the original amount of bacteria
1067.2 + 2400 = 3467.2

The answer is 3067.2

Hope this helps! :)

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

The probability that 8 mice are​ required is 0.2428.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A scientist inoculates​ mice, one at a​ time, with a disease germ until he finds 3 that have contracted the disease. If the probability of contracting the disease is two sevenths.

To find : What is the probability that 8 mice are​ required? The probability that that 8 mice are required is nothing ?

Solution :

Applying binomial distribution,

P(X=r)=^nC_r p^rq^{n-r}

Where, p is the probability of success p=\frac{2}{7}

q is the probability of failure q=1-p, q=1-\frac{2}{7}=\frac{5}{7}

n is total number of trials n=8

r=3

Substitute the values,

P(X=3)=^8C_3 (\frac{2}{7})^3 (\frac{5}{7})^{8-3}

P(X=3)=\frac{8!}{3!5!}\times \frac{8}{343}\times (\frac{5}{7})^{5}

P(X=3)=\frac{8\times 7\times 6}{3\times 2\times 1}\times \frac{8}{343}\times \frac{3125}{16807}

P(X=3)=0.2428

Therefore, the probability that 8 mice are​ required is 0.2428.

Natalee wanted to demonstrate the volume of a square pyramid. To do this, she took a hollowed out pyramid that has a base of 25
swat32

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Natalee transferred water from a square pyramid to a cube. To calculate how many times she will need to dump the water from the pyramid into the cube to completely fill the cube, we divide the volume of the cube by the volume of the square pyramid. Hence:

Number of times = volume of cube / volume of pyramid

The perimeter of the pyramid base = 25 in, hence the length of one side of the bae = 25 / 4 = 6.25 in

Volume of square pyramid  = base² × (height / 3) = (6.25 in)² * (5 in / 3) = 65.1 in³

Volume of cube = 125 in³

Number of times = 125 in³ / 65.1 in³ = 1.92

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

A. \frac{64}{25} ​, because probability values cannot be greater than 1.

C. -1.5, because probability values cannot be less than 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the extent to which an event is likely to happen. It ranges from 0(impossible) to 1(certain). Probability values can be written in decimal form or in fractional form.

The following numbers could not be used to represent the probability of an event.

A. \frac{64}{25} ​, because probability values cannot be greater than 1.

C. -1.5, because probability values cannot be less than 0.
