8+7=15
300/15=20
8 x 20 =160 Boys
7 x 20 = 140 girls

140 + 160 = 300

Hope this helps!

Answer:

C. 11.60 ounces to 12.60 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean 12.10, standard deviation 0.25.

In which range will the amount of water dispensed be found 95% of the time?

By the Empirical Rule, within 2 standard deviations of the mean. So

12.10 - 2*0.25 = 12.10 - 0.5 = 11.60

12.10 + 2*0.25 = 12.10 + 0.5 = 12.6

So the correct answer is given by option C.

Describe the steps you could use to graph any function.

inna [77]

Well you need to find the y-intercept (the number after the number with the x) and plot that number on the graph. next you need to find the slope (ex. 3x+4 the slope would be 3/1) and then you would plot the rest of the points using the slope. and last you would draw a line through the points.

A town has 5000 people in year t = 0. Calculate how long it takes for the population P to double once, twice, and three times, a

UNO [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

At the time t = 0, population of the town = 5000

Rate of population increase = 500 per year

Therefore, the equation that will represent the population will be

$P_{t}=P_{0}+500t$

Where $P_{t}$ = Population after t years

$P_{0}$ = Initial population

t = Time in years

a). For double once the population will be 500×2 = 10000

By plugging in the values in the equation,

10000 = 5000 + 500t

500t = 10000 - 5000

500t = 5000

t = $\frac{5000}{500}$

t = 10 years

For Double twice,

Population will be = 10000×2 = 20000

Now we plug in the values in the equation again

20000 = 5000 + 500t

500t = 20000 - 5000

500t = 15000

t = $\frac{15000}{500}$

t = 30 years

For double thrice,

Population of the town = 20000×2 = 40000

Now we plug in the values in the equation,

40000 = 5000 + 500t

500t = 40000 - 5000

500t = 35000

t = $\frac{35000}{500}$

t = 70 years

b). If the population growth is 5%.

Then the growth will be exponential represented by

$T_{n}=T_{0}(1+\frac{r}{100})^{t}$

$T_{n}$ = Population after t years

$T_{0}$ = Initial population

t = time in years

For double once,

Population after t years = 10000

$10000=5000(1+\frac{5}{100})^{t}$

$(1.05)^{t}=\frac{10000}{5000}$

$(1.05)^{t}=2$

Take log on both the sides

$log(1.05)^{t}=log2$

tlog(1.05) = log2

t = $\frac{log2}{log1.05}$

t = 14.20 years

For double twice,

Population after t years = 20000

$20000=5000(1+\frac{5}{100})^{t}$

$(1.05)^{t}=\frac{20000}{5000}$

$(1.05)^{t}=4$

Take log on both the sides

$log(1.05)^{t}=log4$

tlog(1.05) = log4

t = $\frac{log4}{log1.05}$

t = 28.413 years

For double thrice

Population after t years = 40000

$40000=5000(1+\frac{5}{100})^{t}$

$(1.05)^{t}=\frac{40000}{5000}$

$(1.05)^{t}=8$

Take log on both the sides

$log(1.05)^{t}=log8$

tlog(1.05) = log8

t = $\frac{log8}{log1.05}$

t = 42.620 years

Area = pi * radius^2
radius = diameter/2 = 26/2 = 13 feet

Area = 3.14 * (13^2)
Area = 3.14 * 169 = 530.66 ft^2
