Answer:

P(2.50 < Xbar < 2.66) = 0.046

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Population Mean, \mu = 2.58 and Standard deviation, \sigma = 0.75

Also, a random sample (n) of 110 households is taken.

Let Xbar = sample mean household size

The z score probability distribution for sample mean is give by;

             Z = \frac{Xbar-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } ~ N(0,1)

So, probability that the sample mean household size is between 2.50 and 2.66 people = P(2.50 < Xbar < 2.66)

P(2.50 < Xbar < 2.66) = P(Xbar < 2.66) - P(Xbar \leq 2.50)

P(Xbar < 2.66) = P( \frac{Xbar-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } < \frac{2.66-2.78}{\frac{0.75}{\sqrt{110} } } ) = P(Z < -1.68) = 1 - P(Z \leq 1.68)

                                                              = 1 - 0.95352 = 0.04648

P(Xbar \leq 2.50) = P( \frac{Xbar-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } \leq \frac{2.50-2.78}{\frac{0.75}{\sqrt{110} } } ) = P(Z \leq -3.92) = 1 - P(Z < 3.92)

                                                              = 1 - 0.99996 = 0.00004

Therefore, P(2.50 < Xbar < 2.66) = 0.04648 - 0.00004 = 0.046

The population of a city is 451,400. The population is expected to decrease at a rate of 3.2% each year.
blondinia [14]

Answer:

Find out the what function equation represents the population of the city after t years .

To prove

The population of a city is 451,400. The population is expected to decrease at a rate of 3.2% each year.

This can be represented by exponential decreasing function.

f(t) = a (1 - r)^{t}

Where a is the initial value.

r is the rate in decimal form

t is the time.

Here

a = 451,400

3.2 % is written in the decimal form.

= \frac{3.2}{100}

= 0.032

Put in the formula

f(t) = 451400 (1 - 0.032)^{t}

f(t) = 451400 (0.968)^{t}

Therefore the decrease in the population of the city after t years is represented by

f(t) = 451400 (0.968)^{t}

bija089 [108]

Answer:

  32

Step-by-step explanation:

  \log a=7\hspace{15px} \log b=10\hspace{15px} \log c=3\\\\ \log \dfrac{a^8c^2}{b^3}=8\log{a}+2\log{c}-3\log{b}=(8)(7)+(2)(3)-(3)(10)\\\\=56+6-30=\boxed{32}

__

The applicable rules of logarithms are ...

  log(ab/c) = log(a) +log(b) -log(c)

  log(a^b) = b·log(a)
