The population of a city is increasing at a rate of 4% each year. In 2000, there were 236,000 people in the city. Write an expon

ential growth function to model this situation. Then find the population in 2009.

Answer:

A = 236,000 (1+ 0.04)^9

335,902 people in 2009

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply an exponential growth function:  

A = P (1 + r) t  

Where:  

p = original population (in 2000)

r = growing rate (decimal form) = 4/100 = 0.04

t= years  

A = population after t years  

Replacing with the values given:  

A = 236,000 (1+ 0.04) ^t

To find the population in 2009:

We have to calculate the number of years passed since 2000: (2009-2000 = 9 years =t)

Substituting t=9 in the function:

A = 236,000 (1+ 0.04)^9

A =335,902 people

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

Consider estimating a population proportion p. What is the most conservative sample size (erring on the large size) required in
just olya [345]

Answer:

The most conservative sample size is 2401.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

We are not given any approximation of s]ample proportion, thus,

\hat{p} = 0.5

We have to construct a 95% confidence interval.

Margin of error = 2% = 0.02

Formula for margin of error =

z_{stat}\sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}

z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.05} = 1.96

Putting values, we get,

0.02 = 1.96\times \sqrt{\dfrac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}\\\\0.02 = 1.96\times \sqrt{\dfrac{0.5(1-0.5)}{n}}\\\\\sqrt{n} = 1.96\times \dfrac{\sqrt{0.5(1-0.5)}}{0.02}\\\\\sqrt{n}=49\\n = 2401

Thus, the most conservative sample size is 2401.

Which of the following tables corresponds to the equation below?
Tresset [83]
Answer:
Option b

Explanation:
To solve this problem you need to plug in the values provided and determine if they make the equation true.

Step 1 - Plug in the values for x and y given in option a. Determine if all values make the equation true.

y = 3x + 1
1 = 3(0) + 1
1 = 1 {true}

y = 3x + 1
9 = 3(2) + 1
9 = 7 {not true}

Since the second ordered pair does not make the equation true, this is not the correct answer.

Step 2 - Plug in the values for x and y given in option b. Determine if all values make the equation true.

y = 3x + 1
1 = 3(0) + 1
1 = 1 {true}

y = 3x + 1
7 = 3(2) + 1
7 = 7 {true}

y = 3x + 1
19 = 3(6) + 1
19 = 19 {true}

Since all of the ordered pairs given in Option b make the equation true, this is the correct answer. To double check, you can do the same process for option c to make sure it is not true.

Step 3 - (Optional step) Plug in the values for x and y given in option c. Determine if all values make the equation true.

y = 3x + 1
-1 = 3(0) + 1
-1 = 1 {not true}

Since the first ordered pair given does not make the equation true, this is not the correct answer.

What is the interquartile range of the data set<br><br> {76, 22, 38, 95, 75, 60, 62, 92}
leonid [27]
The answer is 35. To find it, put the numbers in chronological order, the split the set in half. Find the middle of the first half, which is 49. Then, find the middle of the second half, which is 84. Lastly, subtract 49 from 84 to get 35! Hope that helps!
