Entomologist heinz kaefer has a colony of bongo spiders in his lab. there are 1000 adult spiders in the colony, and their weight

s are normally distributed with mean 11 grams and standard deviation 2 grams. about how many spiders are there in the colony which weigh more than 12 grams?

The probability that a spider selected at a random from the colony weighs more than 12 grams is given by:

P(x\ \textgreater \ 12)=1-P(x\ \textless \ 12) \\  \\ =1-P\left(z\ \textless \  \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \right)=1-P\left(z\ \textless \  \frac{12-11}{2} \right) \\  \\ =1-P(z\ \textless \ 0.5)=1-0.69146=0.30854

Thus, given that there are 1000 adult spiders in the colony, the number of spiders in the colony that weigh more than 12 grams is given by 0.30854 * 1000 ≈ 309

We have to find the probability N(11,2)>12, wherein N(11,2)
is the normal law with mean 11 and standard deviation 2. 
Using a scientific calculator we get the probability 0.3. 

Now multiply by the population which is 1000 like this:
0.3*1000=300.

There is 300 <span>spiders  in the colony which weigh more than 12 grams</span>

Suppose that $2000 is placed in a savings account at an annual rate of 4.6%, compounded quarterly. Assuming that no withdrawals
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

It will take 35.46 quarters for the account to grow to $3000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the annual rate is compounded quarterly, this can be calculated using the formula for calculating the future value as follows:

FV = PV * (1 + r)^n ............................ (1)

Where;

FV = future value or the amount the deposit expected to grow to = $3,000

PV = Present value or the amount place in the savings = $2,000

r = Quarterly rate = Annual rate / 4 = 4.6% / 4 = 0.046 / 4 = 0.0115

n = number of quarters it will take for the loan to grow to $3000 = ?

Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for n, we have:

$3,000 = $2,000 * (1 + 0.0115)^n

$3,000 / $2,000 = (1.0115)^n

1.50 = (1.0115)^n

Loglinearise both sides, we have:

log(1.50) = n log(1.0115)

0.176091259055681 = n * 0.00496588710682352

n = 0.176091259055681 / 0.00496588710682352

n = 35.4601816891322

Rounding to the nearest hundredth, which also implies to rounding to 2 decimal places, we have:

n = 35.46

Since the the annual rate is compounded quarterly, it will therefore take 35.46 quarters for the account to grow to $3000.

Answer for brainlist with steps
bulgar [2K]

Step-by-step explanation:

2+6x= -10 + 11(x + 4)

2+ 6x = -10 + 11x + 11(4)

2 + 6x = -10 + 11x + 44

2+ 6x = 11x + 34

6x - 11x = 34 - 2

-5x = 32

x= - 32/5

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

The input is -6, hope this helps :D

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the machines as expressions:

outputA= 7x-6

outputB= 3x+2

Find the input when the outputA is 3*outputB:

outputA=3outputB

(7x-6)=3(3x+2)

7x-6=9x+6

2x=-12

x=-6

Y does y=mx+b?????????????????????????????????????
erma4kov [3.2K]

The equation of any straight line, called a linear equation, can be written as: y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept of this line is the value of y at the point where the line crosses the y axis.
