A scientist is studying the population growth rates of two different species of rats in the same laboratory conditions. The popu

lation of species A is represented by the equation below, where P represents the population at the end of x weeks.
P=2^x+19

The population of species B is represented by the equation below, where P represents the population at the end of x weeks.

P=3^x+18

Which statement is true?

A. At the end of 18 weeks, species A and species B will have the same population.
B. At the end of 21 weeks, species A and species B will have the same population.
C. At the end of 3 weeks, species A and species B will have the same population.

Since, population of species A is represented by : P=2^{x} +19

Let us find the population of species A, at the end of week 1:

i.e., x = 1

i.e., P(1)=2^{1} +19

i.e., P(1)=2 +19

i.e., P(1)=21


Also, since population of species B is represented by : P=3^{x} +18

Let us find the population of species B, at the end of week 1:

i.e., x = 1

i.e., P(1)=3^{1} +18

i.e., P(1)=3 +18

i.e., P(1)=21


Thus, at the end of 1 week, species A and species B will have the same population.

Hence, option D is correct.

a previous analysis of paper boxes showed that the standard deviation of their lengths is 15 millimeters. A packers wishes to fi
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

864.36 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question above, we are given the following values,

Confidence interval 95%

Since we know the confidence interval, we can find the score.

Z score = 1.96

σ , Standards deviation = 15mm

Margin of error = 1 mm

The formula to use to solve the above question is given as:

No of boxes =[ (z score × standard deviation)/ margin of error]²

No of boxes = [(1.96 × 15)/1]²

= 864.36 boxes

Based on the options above, we can round it up to 97 boxes.

In 2018, Yolanda paid $4,526 in Social Security tax. If the Social Security tax rate was 6.2% to the maximum income of $128,400
lana [24]

Answer:

$73000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Social security tax paid by Yolanda is $4562.

         6.2% tax to be paid on earning to the maximum income of $128400.

Lets assume Yolanda´s income be `x`.

Now, calculating the taxable income of Yolanda

∴ 62\% \times x= \$ 4526

⇒ \frac{62}{100} \times x= 4526

Cross multiplying both side

⇒ x= \frac{4526\times 100}{6.2}

∴x= $73000

∴ Yolanda´s taxable income is $73000.
