Answer:

B. 8.66%

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we have to evaluate the following formula:

n = e ^ (k * t)

where n would be the growth rate, we are told that it doubles therefore it is 2.

k is the monthly rate and time, 8 months.

Solved for k, we are left with:

ln (n) = k * t

k = ln (n) / t

replacing we have:

k = ln (2) / t = 0.693 / 8

k = 0.0866

If we take this to a percentage it would be 0.0866 * 100 = 8.66%

Therefore the answer is B.

Suppose you can somehow choose two people at random who took the SAT in 2014. A reminder that scores were Normally distributed w
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

22.29% probability that both of them scored above a 1520

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 1497, \sigma = 322

The first step to solve the question is find the probability that a student has of scoring above 1520, which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 1520.

So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{1520 - 1497}{322}

Z = 0.07

Z = 0.07 has a pvalue of 0.5279

1 - 0.5279 = 0.4721

Each students has a 0.4721 probability of scoring above 1520.

What is the probability that both of them scored above a 1520?

Each students has a 0.4721 probability of scoring above 1520. So

P = 0.4721*0.4721 = 0.2229

22.29% probability that both of them scored above a 1520

The weight of mr nazeer is 7 times that of his son. What's the ratio of their weights?
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

<h3>7:1</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the weight of mr nazeer be x

Let the weight of his son be y

If the weight of mr nazeer is 7 times that of his son, then x = 7y

To get the ratio of their weight:

Ratio = weight of father/weight of son

Ratio = 7y/y

Ratio = 7/1

Ratio = 7:1

Hence the ratio of their weights is 7:1

6. Describe how we could conduct a simulation to decide whether a simple random sample from this population could produce a samp
BigorU [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have proportion p = 50/100 = 0.50

Probability of success = 1-0.50 = 0.50

To conduct simulation, let's assume experiment is to be done 10 times

1. Use binomial parameters n, number = 10, p = 0.50. we then get the necessary size of population To carry out the sampling.

2. We get a random sample and get the size of people who support an against smoking with kids in the car.

3. We repeat this process after drawing sample and also get the number of those in support of ban.

4. After getting n, we find proportion.

Write and solve a system of equations. Be sure to label the variables. The sum of two numbers is twelve. Two times the first num
adoni [48]

The solution to the system of equations is x = 8, y = 4.

<h3>How to write the system of equations?</h3>

First, let's define our variables as x and y.

"the sum of two numbers is twelve" is written as:

x + y = 12

"two times the first number minus three times the second number is four" is written as:

2x - 3y = 4

Then the system of equations is:

x + y  = 12

2x - 3y = 4

<h3>How to solve it?</h3>

First, we isolate one of the variables in one equation, I will isolate x on the first one to get:

x = 12 - y

Now we replace this on the other equation, so we get:

2*(12 - y) - 3y = 4

Now we can solve this for y.

24 - 2y - 3y = 4

24 - 5y = 4

24 - 4 = 5y

20/5 = y = 4

Now we know the value of y, and:

x = 12 - y = 12 - 4 = 8

Then the solution of the system is:

x = 8, y = 4.
