The current population of a town is 10,000 and its growth in years can be represented by P(t) = 10,000(0.2)^t, where t is the ti

me in years.
1. By what percentage does the population increase by each year?


2. Which function is correctly rewritten to reveal the monthly growth rate of the towns population?

a P(t)= 10,000(0.87449)^t

b P(t)= 10,000(0.87449)^12t

c P(t)= 10,000(0.87449)^1/t

d P(t)= 10,000(0.87449)^t+12

Answer:

1) 20%

2) Choice a.

Step-by-step explanation:

P(t)=10000(0.2)^t

1) P(0) is the population initially.

P(1) is the population after a year.

\frac{P(1)}{P(0)} represents the population increase factor.

So let's evaluate that fraction:

\frac{P(1)}{P(0)}

\frac{10000(0.2)^1}{10000(0.2)^0}

\frac{0.2^1}{0.2^0}=\frac{0.2}{1}=0.2

0.2=20%

2) Let's figure out the population growth in terms of months instead of years.

P(t)=10000(0.2)^{t}

We want t to represent months.

A full year is 12 months, in a full year we have that P(1)=10000(0.2)^1=10000(0.2)=2000

So we want a new P such that P(12)=2000 since 12 months equals a year.

Let's look at the functions given to see which gives us this:

a) P(12)=10000(0.87449)^{12}=2000 \text{approximately}

b) P(12)=10000(0.87449)^{12(12)}=0 \text{ approximately}

c) P(12)=10000(0.87449)^{\frac{1}{12}}=9889 \text{approximately}

d) P(12)=10000(0.87449)^{12+12}=400 \text{approximately}

So a is the function we want.

Also another way to look at this:

P(t)=10000(.2)^t where t is in years.

P(t)=10000(.2^\frac{1}{12})^t where t is in months.

And .2^\frac{1}{12}=0.874485 \text{approximately}

Living with parents: The Pew Research Center reported that 36% of American Millennials (adults ages 18-31) stll live at home wit
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

A.

\mathbf{The \  sample \  comes  \ from \  a \  population \ of \ Millennial \ students } \mathbf{at \  their \ campus\ where \ 3 6\%\ still\ live\ at\ home\ with\ their \  parents}

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information.

The proportion of American Millennials still with their parents = 0.36

The sample size  = 300

Sample proportion = 0.43

Level of significance = 0.006

P-value = 0.006

Null hypothesis:

\mathbf{H_o: Of  \ Millennial \ students  \ at \ their \ campus, \ 36\% \  }\mathbf{ live \ at \  some  \ with  \ their \  parents . }

\mathbf{H_a: More \ than \ 36\%  \ of  \ Millennial \ students  \ at \ their \ campus \ live \ at \ home }\mathbf{ \ with \ their \ parents}

The required task is to determine the assumption about the sample that underlies the hypothesis test from the given options.

A.

\mathbf{The \  sample \  comes  \ from \  a \  population \ of \ Millennial \ students } \mathbf{at \  their \ campus\ where \ 3 6\%\ still\ live\ at\ home\ with\ their \  parents}

This is because the student wants to check if the null hypothesis ( which states that of Millennial students at their campus, 36% live at home with their parents) is correct or not.

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

∠NQP = 74°

Step-by-step explanation:

NPQ is a triangle.

We know the sum of 3 angles of a triangle is 180 degrees. So we can write:

N + P + Q = 180

2x + 34 + 2x + 2 = 180

Now, we can solve for x:

2x + 34 + 2x + 2 = 180\\4x+36=180\\4x=180-36\\4x=144\\x=\frac{144}{4}\\x=36

The measure of NQP is "2x+2", we plug in x = 36, and find the measure of NQP:

∠NQP = 2(36) + 2 = 74°
