An exponential function is :
f ( x ) = a * b^x,
where x is the number of the years.
a = 240   ( number of the birds at start )
16 % = 0.16
b = 1 + 0.16 = 1.16
f ( x ) = 240 * 1.16^x
Answer:
a = 240,   b = 1.16

Answer:

Hence the values of a and b are given by:

a=240

and b=1.16.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

A population of 240 birds increases at a rate of 16% annually.

i.e. the initial population of birds is 240.

Also they are increasing at a rate of 16% =0.16.

Hence, it clearly implies that the growth is exponential and the function that represents the population of the birds after x years is given by:

f(x)=240\times (1+0.16)^x\\\\\\f(x)=240\times (1.16)^x

Hence, on comparing our function with the exponential function:

f(x)=ab^x

we have:

a=240

and b=1.16.

dem82 [27]

Answer:

The value of the test statistic is 4.70.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypothesis for this test can be defined as follows:

<em>H</em>₀: Men do not spend more than women on St. Patrick's day, i.e. μ₁ = μ₂.

<em>H</em>ₐ: Men spend more than women on St. Patrick's day, i.e. μ₁ > μ₂.

The population standard deviations are not known.

So a <em>t</em>-distribution will be used to perform the test.

The test statistic for the test of difference between mean is:

t=\frac{\bar x_{1}-\bar x_{2}}{\sqrt{\frac{s^{2}_{1}}{n_{1}}+\frac{s^{2}_{2}}{n_{2}}} }

Given:

\bar x_{1}=55\\s_{1}=18\\n_{1}=90\\\bar x_{1}=44\\s_{1}=16\\n_{1}=86

Compute the value of the test statistic as follows:

t=\frac{\bar x_{1}-\bar x_{2}}{\sqrt{\frac{s^{2}_{1}}{n_{1}}+\frac{s^{2}_{2}}{n_{2}}} }=\frac{55-44}{\sqrt{\frac{15^{2}}{90}+\frac{16^{2}}{86} }}=4.70

Thus, the value of the test statistic is 4.70.
