Answer: B. 461 acres

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : In an agricultural study, the average amount of corn yield is normally distributed with a mean of 185.2 bushels of corn per acre, with a standard deviation of 23.5 bushels of corn.

i.e. \mu=185.2\ \ , \ \sigma=23.5

Let x denotes the amount of corn yield.

Now, the probability that the amount of corn yield is more than 190 bushels of corn per acre.

P(x>190)=P(\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}>\dfrac{190-185.2}{23.5})

[Formula : z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}]

=P(z>0.2043)=1-P(z  [∵ P(Z>z)=1-P(Z<z)]

1-0.5809405   [using z-value calculator or table]

=0.4190595

Now, If a study included 1100 acres then the expected number to yield more than 190 bushels of corn per acre :-

0.4190595\times1100=460.96545\approx461\text{ acres}

hence, the correct answer is B. 461 acres .

A hospital prepares a 100mg supply of technetium-99m which has a half-life of 6 hours. what is the decay factor?
SashulF [63]
For a half- life, the formula is
A(t) = A0(0.5)^( t / t_0.5)
where A(t) is the amount of substance at time t
A0 is the initial amount of subtance
t_0.5 is the time it will reduce its amount to half
t is the time

substitute the given to the formula
A(t) = 100(0.5)^( t/6 )
so the decay factor is 0.5^( t/6 )

Can someone explain how to do this, please?​
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

\sqrt{ {28x}^{2} - 6x }

Step-by-step explanation:

You would substitute "2x" for every "x" in the function in the same way you would substitute any other number.

So if f(x)=Sqrt[7x²-3x], then: f(2x)=Sqrt[7(2x)²-3(2x)]

=Sqrt[7(4x²)-3(2x)]

=Sqrt[28x²-6x]

If we increase the number 100 by 10% and then reduce the resulting number by 20% what would the answer be plz show how u did it
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

88

Step-by-step explanation:

The original number ⇒ 100

100 is increased by 10%

The result is 20% reduced.

Calculate increase.

100 × (1 + 10%)

100 × (1.1)

= 110

Calculate decrease.

110 × (1 - 20%)

110 × 0.8

= 88
