Answer:

Initial Amount=1

Decay Factor=0.99987

Decay Rate=0.013%

Step-by-step explanation:

If P = 0.99987ᵃ

I. Initial amount

The initial amount is when a=0

P = 0.99987⁰ = 1

The Pressure at Sea Level=1

II. Decay factor

This is like the decay constant. From the model, P = 0.99987ᵃ, the decay constant/factor is 0.99987.

III. Decay Rate = 1-0.99987 = 0.00013

Expressed in Percentage = 0.013%

Answer:

The answers to the question are as follows

Initial a amount = 1

Decay Factor =0.99987

Decay rate = 1-0.99987 = 0.00013

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the formula for exponential decay given by

y = a(1-b)^t

In the above we have  (1+b)  = Decay factor

a = Initial amount

b =  rate of decay

t = time

Comparing y = a(1-b)^t , with the function in the question, we have

a(1-b)^t≡ 0.99987^a

Therefore, a ≡ 1,

1 + b ≡ 0.99987 and

x ≡ a

Therefore we have

Initial amount = 1

Decay/growth factor = 0.99987

But rate of decay = b = 1-(1-b) =b

Therefore Rate of Decay = 1 - 0.99987

Vesna [10]

Answer:

The overview of the given situation is described in the explanation segment below.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • By the details received, the reference variable becomes actual prevalence or occurrence of another virus whereas the descriptive variable becomes precipitation 'Precipitation compensated for 79% throughout variability with prevalence.'

As we know that the determination's coefficient will be:

⇒  R^2

(Percent of variance in the answer variable described by the explanatory variable).

Now the correlation among the two variables will be:

As we know,

⇒  r^2=R^2

⇒  r^2=0.79

⇒  r=\sqrt{0.79}

⇒  r=0.889

<span>Two problems such as 150,000 + 150,000 = 300,001 and 500,000 - 200,000 = 300,000 could show that two problems can give the same result. A third could be 400,000 - 148,000 = 252,000 but rounds to 300,000 when rounded. All three give the same result when rounded to the nearest hundred thousand.</span>
