In 2010, the population of a town was 8500. The population decreased by 4.5% each year.

Answer:

This is a problem in exponential decay.

a) If a town's population decreases by 4.5% every year that also means that the town's population decreases by a factor of .955 each year.  (1 - .045 = .955)

So, after 5 years, the town's population is:

8,500 * .955^5 which equals 6,752.

So, basically, after t years, the town's population equals

8,500 * .955^t  where t is the number of years that have passed since the year 2010.

b) population = 8,500 * .955 ^ (number of years since 2010)

7,000 / 8,500  = .955 ^ (number of years since 2010)

0.8235294118  = .955 ^ (number of years since 2010)

To solve for (number of years since 2010) we take logs of both sides

log (0.8235294118 ) = number of years since 2010 * log(.955)

-0.0843208857  = number of years since 2010 * -0.0199966284

-0.0843208857  / -0.0199966284  = number of years since 2010

4.2167551422  = number of years since 2010

So, population = 7,000 when the year is 2014.2167551422

Or about  2.6 months into 2014

(YES, it's just that "easy")  LOL

N = 9
g100num [7]

Answer:

The <em>p</em>-value is 0.809.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we need to perform a significance test for the standard deviation.

The hypothesis is defined as follows:

<em>H</em>₀: <em>σ</em>₀ = 4 vs. <em>Hₐ</em>: <em>σ</em>₀ ≤ 4

The information provided is:

<em>n</em> = 9

<em>s</em> = 3

Compute the Chi-square test statistic as follows:

\chi^{2}=\frac{(n-1)s^{2}}{\sigma_{0}^{2}}

     =\frac{(9-1)\cdot (3)^{2}}{(4)^{2}}\\\\=\frac{8\times 9}{16}\\\\=4.5

The test statistic value is 4.5.

The degrees of freedom is:

df = n - 1

   = 9 - 1

   = 8

Compute the <em>p</em>-value as follows:

p-value=P(\chi^{2}_{9}>4.5)=0.809

*Use a Chi-square table.

Thus, the <em>p</em>-value is 0.809.

Explain how you can tell when a formula represents a length an area or a volume
AlekseyPX
Do you mean how you can tell between an area formula and a volume formula? Well usually like on a reference sheet it says the shape and the letter a or v, a representing area and v representing volume. I hope this helps, if it doesn't please tell me in the comment section
