Suppose that the number of bacteria in a certain population increases according to an exponential growth model. A sample of 2600

bacteria selected from this population reached the size of 2873 bacteria in two and a half hours. Find the continuous growth rate per hour. Write your answer as a percentage. Do not round any intermediate computations, and round your percentage to the nearest hundredth.

Answer: There is 3.994% continuous growth rate per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Initial bacteria = 2600

After two and a half hours,

Number of bacteria = 2873

We need to find the continuous growth rate per hour.

As we know the equation for continuous growth rate per hour.

y=y_0e^{rt}\\\\2873=2600e^{2.5r}\\\\\dfrac{2873}{2600}=e^{2.5r}\\\\1.105=e^{2.5r}\\\\\text{Taking log on both the sides}\\\\\ln 1.105=2.5r\\\\0.0998=2.5r\\\\r=\dfac{0.0998}{2.5}\\\\r=0.0399\times 100\\\\r=3.994\%

Hence, there is 3.994% continuous growth rate per hour.

Given the information below, write the conclusion in context. 1. H0 : The proportion of defective batteries = 0.02 2. HA : The p
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

z = -1.23

And we can calculate the p value with the following probability taking in count the alternative hypothesis:

p_v = P(z

And for this case using a significance level of \alpha=0.05 ,0.1 we see that the p value is larger than the significance level so then we can conclude that we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we don't have enough  evidence to conclude that the true proportion is less than 0.02

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we want to test the following system of hypothesis:

Null hypothesis: p =0.02

Alternative hypothesis: p < 0.02

The statistic for this case is given by:

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

And for this case we know that the statistic is given by:

z = -1.23

And we can calculate the p value with the following probability taking in count the alternative hypothesis:

p_v = P(z

And for this case using a significance level of \alpha=0.05 ,0.1 we see that the p value is larger than the significance level so then we can conclude that we FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and we don't have enough  evidence to conclude that the true proportion is less than 0.02

population of Japan as of 2009 was about 127,000,000 (127 million). What percent of the world’s population is this?
Vladimir [108]
Current worlds population is 7.6 billion (7,600,000,000), so Japan’s population is equal to 1.67 % of the world’s population.

There 400 students in sixth grade of these students 180 are boys what percent of sixth graders are girls.
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

To solve this, you need to subtract 180 from 400:  (400-180=220).  After that (I used the fraction/proportion/variable way, but there are others), so 220/400=%(p)/100.  Multiply diaganolly, so 400*p=400p, which is equal to 220*100=22000.  Therefore, 400p=22000.  Now, you have to isolate the variable by dividing both sides by 400: 400p/400=p, and 22000/400=55.  Therefore, p=55, or %=55, so the answer is 55%, or C.
