Colby and Jaquan are growing bacteria in an experiment in a laboratory. Colby starts with 50 bacteria in his culture and the num

ber of bacteria doubles every 2 hours. Jaquan starts with 80 different bacteria that doubles every 3 hours. Let X equal number of days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = the number of days.

For growth rate,

y = X° × rate of growth, k

Where,

X° = initial amount of bacteria

k = rate of growth per day

Colby = 50 bacteria

kc = 2^(24/2 × X)

y = 50 × 2^(12X)

Jaquan = 80 bacteria

kj = 2^(24/3 × X)

y = 80 × 2^(8X)

The length of time taken on the SAT for a group of students is normally distributed with a mean of 2.5 hours and a standard devi
son4ous [18]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the length of time taken on the SAT for a group of students is normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - u)/s

Where

x = length of time

u = mean time

s = standard deviation

From the information given,

u = 2.5 hours

s = 0.25 hours

We want to find the probability that the sample mean is between two hours and three hours.. It is expressed as

P(2 lesser than or equal to x lesser than or equal to 3)

For x = 2,

z = (2 - 2.5)/0.25 = - 2

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.02275

For x = 3,

z = (3 - 2.5)/0.25 = 2

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.97725

P(2 lesser than or equal to x lesser than or equal to 3)

= 0.97725 - 0.02275 = 0.9545

If 10% of a group ate sandwiches two days in a row, and 40% of the group had a sandwich on the first day, this means that 25% of
Charra [1.4K]
The problem can be represented on a Venn diagram, as shown below.

We have P(Day 1 ∩ Day 2) = 0.1 and P(Day 1) = 0.4
We can deduce that 30% of the group ONLY had sandwiches on Day 1 and there's 60% of the group ONLY had sandwiches on Day 2.

We obtain the value 60% = 0.6 from 100%-(10%+30%)=60%

We also can deduce that there 70% of the group that had sandwiches on Day 2

The proportion of people who ate sandwiches on Day 2 GIVEN that they ate sandwiches on Day 1 is given by

P(Day 1 ∩ Day 2)÷P(Day 2) = 0.1÷0.4 = 0.25 = 25%

The statement is TRUE

Drum tight containers is designing an open-top, square-based, rectangular box that will have a volume of 62.5 in^3. what dimensi
Leno4ka [110]
Square means L=W
V=62.5=LWH

L=W so
V=62.5=HL^2
SA=2(L^2+2LH)

we have
V=62.5=HL^2
solve for H
divide both sides by L^2
62.5/L^2=H
sub that for H in other equation

SA=2(L^2+2L(62.5/L^2))
SA=2(L^2+125/L)
SA=2L^2+250/L
find minimum of 2L^2+250L^-1
take the derivitive
4L-250L^-2, or 2(2L^3-125)/L^2
find where it equals zero
it equals zero at L=2.5∛4
L=W
if we evaluate 2L^2+250/L at L=2.5∛4, the value is 75∛2

H=62.5/L^2
H=\frac{25 \sqrt[3]{2} }{4}



dimentions are
L=2.5∛4
W=2.5∛4
H=\frac{25 \sqrt[3]{2} }{4}
minimum surface area is 75∛2 in^2 or aprox 94.4941 in^2
