For this case we have an equation of the form:
 y = A * (b) ^ t
 Where,
 A: initial amount
 b: decrease factor
 t: time
 Substituting values:
 y = 30 * (b) ^ t
 To calculate t we use a point in the table.
 We have:
 (t, y) = (1, 28.5)
 Substituting:
 28.5 = 30 * (b) ^ 1
 b = 28.5 / 30
 b = 0.95
 Answer:
 
a. Decay factor is 0.95

Use the given values of n and p to find the minimum usual value μ−2σ and the maximum usual value μ+2σ. Round to the nearest hund
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

μ−2σ = 1,089.26

μ+2σ = 1,097.62

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard deviation of a sample of size 'n' and proportion 'p' is:

\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{p*(1-p)}{n} }

If n=1139 and p =0.96, the standard deviation is:

\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{p*(1-p)}{n}}\\\sigma = 0.001836

The minimum and maximum usual values are:

\mu-2\sigma = (p-2\sigma)*n\\\mu+2\sigma = (p+2\sigma)*n

\mu-2\sigma = (0.96-2*0.001836)*1139\\\mu-2\sigma = 1,089.26\\\mu+2\sigma = (0.96+2*0.001836)*1139\\\mu+2\sigma = 1,097.62
