Answer:

See below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

1.   The sequence is 1000, 2000, 4000, 8000.

2.  The common ratio  is 2000/1000 = 2.

3.   Number of bacteria after 7 hours is 1000(2)^(7- 1)

    = 64,000.

4.   1000(2)^(x-1)  > 1,000,000

2^x-1  > 1000

x- 1  log 2 > log 10

x- 1 > 9.96

x > 10.96

During the 11th hour.

Two bowls of pasta at a restaurant serve 3 people. How many bowls of pasta should be ordered for 12 people?
Butoxors [25]
12 people divided by 3 people = 4

so if 2 bowls serve 3 people...2 bowls x 4 = serve 12 people

therefore, 8 bowls serve 12 people

A family goes grocery shopping every week. in a month the costs of the groceries are $72.42, $91.50, $58.99, and $69.02. 5. what
frozen [14]
1) Mean
The mean is given by the sum of the data divided by the number of data (4, in this case):
\mu =   \frac{1}{N} \sum x_i = \frac{1}{4}(72.42+91.50+58.99+69.02) = \frac{291.93}{4}=72.98 $

2) Standard deviation
The standard deviation is given by:
\sigma =  \sqrt{ \frac{1}{N} \sum (x_i-\mu)^2 }
where \mu is the mean, that we already found at point 1), and N=4. Substituting data, we have:
\sigma =  \sqrt{ \frac{1}{4} ((-0.56)^2+(18.52)^2+(-13.99)^2+(-3.96)^2) } =
= \sqrt{ \frac{1}{4}  (554.71)} = \sqrt{138.68} =11.78 $
