Answer: The population will be 408,000 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

So in 2000 there were 200,000 people and it started to grow 8% every year so up to 2013.

so find 8% of 200,000 and then multiply it by the  the number of years.

8% * 200,000 =  16,000

Find the difference between the years.

2013 - 2000 = 13 years

13 * 16000 = 208000  This is the amount of new people from 2000 to 2013 so add it to the original population.

208,000 + 200,000 = 408,000

klemol [59]

Answer:

a) 0.48

b) 0.6645

c) 12.5

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are left-handed, or they are not. The probabilities of each person being left-handed are independent. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}

The number of trials expected to find r sucesses is given by

N = \frac{r}{p}

In this problem we have that:

Assume that 8​% of people are​ left-handed. We select 6 people at random. ​

This means that p = 0.08, n = 6

a) How many lefties do you​ expect?

E(X) = np = 6*0.08 = 0.48

​b) With what standard​ deviation?

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{6*0.08*0.92} = 0.6645

​c) If we keep picking people until we find a​ lefty, how long do you expect it will​ take?

Number of trials to find 1 success. So

N = \frac{r}{p} = \frac{1}{0.08} = 12.5

slamgirl [31]
Consider, pls, this option:
1) let start price is 'x' and the 1-t increasing is 'y';
2) after the 1-t increasing new1_price is x(y+1);
3) after the 2-d increasing new2_price is 1.25x(y+1);
4) from another side, new2_price is '2x';
5) according to five items it is possible to make up an equation: 1.25x(y+1)=2x; 
1.25(y+1)=2, y=8/5 -1=3/5=0.6.
0.6 means 60%.
Answer: 60%.
