The value of x is 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

In a probability distribution, probability should be between 0  and 1. The probabilities add up to one.

Given probabilities are:

\frac{1}{10}, \frac{1}{5}, \frac{1}{2}, x

The sum of these probabilities will be equal to 1.

So,

To find x,

\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{2}+x = 1\\\frac{1+2+5}{10}+x=1\\\frac{8}{10}+x=1\\x= 1- \frac{8}{10}\\x = 1- \frac{4}{5}\\x= \frac{5-4}{5}\\x=\frac{1}{5}

The value of x is 1/5

A culture of bacteria has an initial population of 41000 bacteria and doubles every 5 hours. Using the formula P_t = P_0\cdot 2^
vodomira [7]

Answer:

285541  

Step-by-step explanation:

According To The Question,

  • Given, A culture of bacteria has an initial population of 41000 bacteria and doubles in every 5 hours &  P_{t} = P_{i}*(2)^{\frac{d}{t} } .

Now, for the population of bacteria in the culture after 14 hours is P_{t} . We have Initial Population(P_{i})=41000 , d=14 & t=5 .

Put These Value in Above Formula, We get

P_{t} = 41000*(2)^{\frac{14}{5} }

P_{t} = 41000*2^{2.8}

P_{t} = 41000*(6.9644)

P_{t} = 285540.5847 ≈ 285541
