Answer:

Number of bacteria after 36 hour (A) = 381 (Approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of bacteria (p) = 2,000

Total time (n) = 36 hours

Decay rate = 4.5 % = 0.045 per hour

Find:

Number of bacteria after 36 hour (A)

Computation:

A=p(1-r)^n

Number of bacteria after 36 hour (A) = 2,000[1-0.045]³⁶

Number of bacteria after 36 hour (A) = 2,000[0.955]³⁶

Number of bacteria after 36 hour (A) = 2,000[0.190599333]

Number of bacteria after 36 hour (A) = 381.19866

Number of bacteria after 36 hour (A) = 381 (Approx)

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP
Hoochie [10]

First, let's ignore the answer choices and solve for a value of x ourselves.

2(8 - x) < 4

Distributive property.

16 - 2x < 4

Subtract 16 from both sides.

-2x < -12

Divide both sides by -2 (and flip the inequality sign)

x > 6

The value of x is going to be greater than 6, and so, we can observe the answer choices, and whichever value is greater than 6, is the correct answer.

<h3>In this case, there is only one answer, and that is D, x = 10.</h3>

A group of finance managers at a car dealership estimates thatt 23% of all cars purchased last year were leases.If a sample of 8
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

p = 0.52392

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have

p = 23% = 0.23

\hat p = 208/800 = 0.26

n = 800

q = 1-p = 0.77

α = 5% = 0.05

Here we have

Z test given by

z=\frac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\frac{pq}{n}}}

From which we have

From the Cpdf we have Probability = 0.0219, z = 2.016

Therefore from the z score = 0.0683, p = 0.52392 from z table.
