This is a Geometric Progression problem.

We can use the formula

= a1 + $q^{n-1}$

= 50 x 2^(8-1)

50 is starting number

2 is doubled

8 is how many sets of 3 months in 2 years

= 50 x 2^(7)

= 50 x 128

= 6400

Answer:

800 crickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the population starts at 50 crickets and doubles every 3 months that's 100 crickets every three months.

There are 12 months in a year.

So, we have to multiply 100 by 4.

That gets us 400.

So that is 400 crickets each year.

Since it is 2 years it would be 800 crickets.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

if sinx=3/5=P/H

using pythogoras thoeren find B

B²= H²-P²

B²= 25-9

B=4

Tanx = P/B= 3/4

n(S)= 6

n(O) = 3 {1,3,5)

P(O) = n(O)/n(s)= 3/6=1/2

Greeley [361]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

To see if driving heavy equipment on wet soil compresses it causing harm to future crops, the penetrability of two types of soil were measured:

Sample 1: Compressed soil

X₁: penetrability of a plot with compressed soil.

n₁= 20 plots

X[bar]₁= 2.90

S₁= 0.14

Sample 2: Intermediate soil

X₂: penetrability of a plot with intermediate soil.

n₂= 20 (with outlier) n₂= 19 plots (without outlier)

X[bar]₂= 3.34 (with outlier) X[bar]₂= 2.29 (without outlier)

S₂= 0.32 (with outlier) S₂= 0.24 (without outlier)

Outlier: 4.26

Assuming all conditions are met and ignoring the outlier in the second sample, you have to construct a 99% CI for the difference between the average penetration in the compressed soil and the intermediate soil. To do so, you have to use a t-statistic for two independent samples:
