Answer:

The population is 168,900,000 to the nearest hundred thousand

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with calculating the population of Brazil given its population in 1995 and her growth rate per decade.

Mathematically, we use an exponential function to calculate this population.

This can be written as P = I(1 + r)^n

where P is the population in 2015 which we are looking for,

I is the initial population which is 162,300,000

r is the rate of increase per decade given as 2% = 2/100 = 0.02,

n is the number of times between the years we are expecting this growth. The difference between the years 2015 and 1995 is 20 years which signifies 2 decades(1 decade is 10 years). Thus our n is 2

We plug these values into the equation above;

P = 162,300,000(1+0.02)^2

P = 162,300,000(1.02)^2

P = 168,856,920 which is 168,900,000 to the nearest hundred thousand

A sample of 100 independent random numbers is taken from this distribution, and its average is used to estimate the mean of the
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

The standard error in estimating the mean = (0.1 × standard deviation of the distribution)

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard error of the mean, for a sample, σₓ is related to the standard deviation, σ, through the relation

σₓ = σ/(√n)

n = sample size = 100

σₓ = σ/(√100)

σₓ = (σ/10) = 0.1σ

Hence, the standard error in estimating the mean = (0.1 × standard deviation of the distribution)

Vladimir [108]
First you want to find how many words she types per hour.
There are 60 minutes in 1 hour.
So multiply 70 words/min times 60 min/ 1 hr to cancel out the minutes.
You will get 4200 words / hr
Then multiply 4200 by 4 and 5
use * as multiplication symbol
4200 words/hr * 4 = 16,800 words/hr
4200 words/hr * 5 = 21,000 words/hr
She will type 16,800 - 21,000 words/hr

So Your answer is going to be letter G

Ugh I’m kinda stuck someone can help me ?
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

To graph this line, move one of the points to positive three on the horizontal (side to side) line and negative six on the vertical (up and down) line. To get a slope of negative 1/2 you move down one point and right two points, and you continue until you reach the edge of the graph. Then you do the opposite on the way up (up one and left two).

Hope this helps!
