Answer:

≈23.6 kg left.

Step-by-step explanation:

For determining this, we can simply use an exponential decay equation representing this scenario:

y= a(0.5)^{\frac{t}{h} }

a: the initial amount

t: the amount of time

h: the half life

Now, substitute the numbers into the equation:

y=200(0.5)^{\frac{5000}{1622} }

Now, solve this equation:

y=220(0.5)^{3.08}

Use a calculator to solve for y:

y= 200(0.118)

y≈23.6 kg left.

You find your dependent variable has a high degree of kurtosis. What is the first way to try to fix it?
Morgarella [4.7K]

The first way to try to fix this is to apply logarithm to the observations on the dependent variable. This is going to make the dependent variable with high degree of kurtosis normal.

Note that sometimes, the resulting values of the variable will be negative. Do not worry about this, as it is not a problem. It does not affect the regression coefficients, it only affects the regression intercept, which after transformation, will be of no interest.

The equation d=3t represents the relationship between the distance (d) in inches that a snail is from a certain rock and the tim
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

3 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

d=3t is our formula.

d being the distance (9 inches for this problem)

t is the time in minutes


Substituting our known information would make our equation look like:

9 = 3t

to solve for t we divide both sides of the equation by 3

9/3 = 3t/3

3 = t


So if a snail travels 3 inches per minute, it will have traveled 9 inches in 3 minutes.

Solve the combined inequality x + 3 > -5 and -4x ≥ -16 showing all of your work
ad-work [718]
Well for the first one you have to subtract 3 on both sides so that would make the equation x > -8 (because a negative subtracting a positive is basically a negative plus negative) and so your equations done.  For the second one you divide both ides by -4 so your equation would be x < 4 (the sign would be less then or qual to because you divided by a negative)
