Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

a. The the class width for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th row equal 5 in the frequency distribution. Whereas, in the 4th row, the class width is 4 (49 - 45). This makes the construction incorrect.

b. Here, the upper limit of each consecutive class was used as the lower limit if the next class. For example, 9 is a member of the first class, which is the upper limit if the class in the first row, it ought not to be included as a member of the next class in the second row.

c. In the 3rd row, the lower limit of the class should be 133, NOT 138.

d. Different class width were used.

Row 1 class width = 13 - 9 = 4

Row 2 class width = 19 - 14 = 5

Row 3 class width = 25 - 20 = 5

Row 4 class width = 28 - 26 = 2

Row 5 class width = 32 - 29 = 3

Answer: $\triangle XYZ \sim \triangle GFH$ by AA.

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the third angle in triangle XYZ,

$m\angle YXZ=180^{\circ}-77^{\circ}-48^{\circ}=55^{\circ}$ ,

Thus, $\triangle XYZ \sim \triangle GFH$ by AA.

lesya [120]

Answer:

(a) $N(t)=Noe^{kt}$

(b)5,832 Mosquitoes

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)Given an original amount $N_o$ at t=0. The population of the colony with a growth rate $k \neq 0$ , where k is a constant is given as:

$N(t)=Noe^{kt}$

(b)If $N_o=1000$ and the population after 1 day, N(1)=1800

Then, from our model:

N(1)=1800

$1800=1000e^{k}\\$Divide both sides by 1000\\e^{k}=1.8\\$Take the natural logarithm of both sides\\k=ln(1.8)$

Therefore, our model is:

$N(t)=1000e^{t*ln(1.8)}\\N(t)=1000\cdot1.8^t$

In 3 days time

$N(3)=1000\cdot1.8^3=5832$

The population of mosquitoes in 3 days time will be approximately 5832.

(c)If the population N(t)=20,000,we want to determine how many days it takes to attain that value.

From our model

$N(t)=1000\cdot1.8^t\\20000=1000\cdot1.8^t\\$Divide both sides by 1000\\20=1.8^t\\$Convert to logarithm form\\Log_{1.8}20=t\\\frac{Log 20}{Log 1.8}=t\\ t=5.097\approx 5\; days$

In approximately 5 days, the population of mosquitoes will be 20,000.
