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

The measures of spread include the range, quartiles and the interquartile range, variance and standard deviation. Let's consider each one by one.

<u>Interquartile Range: </u>

Given the Data -> First Quartile = 2, Third Quartile = 5

Interquartile Range = 5 - 2 = 3

<u>Range:</u> 8 - 1 = 7

<u>Variance: </u>

We start by determining the mean,

\:1+\:2+\:3+\:3+\:3+\:5+\:8 / 7 = 3.57

n = number of numbers in the set

Solving for the sum of squares is a long process, so I will skip over that portion and go right into solving for the variance.

\sum _{i=1}^n\frac{\left(x_i-\bar{x}\right)^2}{n-1},\\\\=> SS/n - 1\\\\=> 31.714/7 - 1\\=> 5.28571

5.3

<u>Standard Deviation</u>

We take the square root of the variance,

\sqrt{5.28571} = 2.29906

2.3

If you are not familiar with variance and standard deviation, just leave it.

Considering it's dimensions and the formula, the volume of the cuboid is of 160 cm³.

<h3>What is the volume of a rectangular prism?</h3>

The volume of a rectangular prism, such as a cuboid, is given by the <u>area of the base multiplied by the height</u>, that is:

V = Ab x h

In this problem, the base is a square of sides 4 cm, with the height of 10 cm, hence the volume is given by:

V = 4² x 10 = 160 cm³.
