Answer: In 2008 the population was 21,525,144

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to use the following formula for Exponential decay:

P=P_0(1-r)^t

Where P_0 is the initial population in the year 0, r is the rate of decay and t is the time.

In this case, you can identify that:

P_0=25,300,987\\\\r=2\%\\\\t=8

Therefore, substituting these values into the formula for Exponential decay, you get:

P=P_0(1-r)^t\\\\P=(25,300,987)(1-\frac{2}{100})^8\\\\P=21,525,144

Then, in 2008 the population was 21,525,144

Calculate the mean deviation by median (by using the mid-point(x) of leaf weights. b) A fair die is rolled. Find the probability
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

hello attached below is the required table that is missing and the completed table as well

A) mean deviation = 0.1645

B) 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table we calculated the midpoint value (x) and c.f

N = 27

median class = 2.35 to 2.45

median = l + [ (N/2) - cf / F ] * H

             = 2.35  + [ (13.5 - 13) / 6 ] *0.1 = 2.3583

hence mean deviation by median

= summation of  fi |xi -M| / summation of fi

= 4.4417 / 27 = 0.1645

B ) probability of getting an odd number or prime number or both

the probability of an odd number = 1/2

also the probability of an even number = 1/2

while the probability of getting neither of them = 1/3

hence the probability of getting odd or prime or both

= 1/2 + 1/2 - 1/3 = 2/3

A college-entrance exam is designed so that scores are normally distributed with a mean of 500 and a standard deviation of 100.
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

The probability is  0.003

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the average \mu is:

\mu=500

The standard deviation \sigma is:

\sigma=100

The Z-score is:

Z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

We seek to find

P(x800)

For P(x>800) The Z-score is:

Z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Z=\frac{800-500}{100}

Z=3

The score of Z = 3 means that 800 is 3 standard deviations from the mean. Then by the rule of the 8 parts of the normal curve, the area that satisfies the conficion of 3 deviations from the mean has percentage of 0.15%

So

P(x>800)=0.15\%

For P(x<200) The Z-score is:

Z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

Z=\frac{200-500}{100}

Z=-3

The score of Z = -3 means that 200 is 3 standard deviations from the mean. Then by the rule of the 8 parts of the normal curve, the area that satisfies the conficion of 3 deviations from the mean has percentage of 0.15%

So

P(x

Therefore

P(x800)=P(x800)

P(x800)=0.0015 + 0.0015

P(x800)=0.003
