What is the side length of the smallest square plate on which a 18-cm chopstick can fit along a diagonal without any overhang?

A culture started with 3000 bacteria. After 2 hours it grew to 3300 bacteria. Predict how many bacteria will be present after 16

bixtya [17]

Answer:

$6,430\ bacteria$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have a exponential function of the form

$y=a(1+r)^{x}$

where

y is the population of bacteria

a is the initial value

r is the rate of growth

x is the number of hours

we have

a=3,000 bacteria

$y=3,000(1+r)^{x}$

For x=2, y=3,300

substitute

$3,300=3,000(1+r)^{2}$

$(3,300/3,000)=(1+r)^{2}$

Apply square root both sides

$1+r=\sqrt{3.3/3}$

$r=\sqrt{3.3/3}-1$

$r=0.0488$

$r=4.88\%$

substitute in the equation

$y=3,000(1+0.0488)^{x}$

$y=3,000(1.0488)^{x}$

Predict how many bacteria will be present after 16 hours

For x=16 hours

substitute

$y=3,000(1.0488)^{16}$

$y=6,430\ bacteria$

Find the missing angle please!!

beks73 [17]

Step 1: All angles in a triangle must add up to 180! Therefore, in the upper triangle, add up the two you know 85+35=120 so the missing angle is 60.
Step 2: Bottom triangle. Your new angle above (60) is the pair of the opposite angle - so it too is 60. So now you know 2 of the 3 angles: 60+64=124 Subtract that from 180 and you get 56...which is the answer for ?

2.06. In a study to estimate the proportion of residents in a certain city and its suburbs who favor the construction of a nucle

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

$z=\frac{0.74-0.56}{\sqrt{0.64(1-0.64)(\frac{1}{100}+\frac{1}{125})}}=2.795$

$p_v =2*P(Z>2.795)= 0.005$

So if we compare the p value and using any significance level for example $\alpha=0.05$ we see that $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can conclude that the proportions are different at 5% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

$X_{1}=74$ represent the number of residents in a certain city and its suburbs who favor the construction of a nuclear power plant

$X_{2}=70$ represent the number of people suburban residents are in favor

$n_{1}=100$ sample 1 selected

$n_{2}=125$ sample 2 selected

$p_{1}=\frac{74}{100}=0.74$ represent the proportion of residents in a certain city and its suburbs who favor the construction of a nuclear power plant

$p_{2}=\frac{70}{125}=0.56$ represent the proportion of suburban residents are in favor

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the value for the test (variable of interest)

Concepts and formulas to use

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the proportions are different, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $p_{1} = p_{2}$

Alternative hypothesis: $p_{1} \neq p_{2}$

We need to apply a z test to compare proportions, and the statistic is given by:

$z=\frac{p_{1}-p_{2}}{\sqrt{\hat p (1-\hat p)(\frac{1}{n_{1}}+\frac{1}{n_{2}})}}$ (1)

Where $\hat p=\frac{X_{1}+X_{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}}=\frac{74+70}{100+125}=0.64$

Calculate the statistic

Replacing in formula (1) the values obtained we got this:

$z=\frac{0.74-0.56}{\sqrt{0.64(1-0.64)(\frac{1}{100}+\frac{1}{125})}}=2.795$

Statistical decision

The significance level provided is $\alpha=0.05$ ,and we can calculate the p value for this test.

Since is a two tailed test the p value would be:

$p_v =2*P(Z>2.795)= 0.005$

So if we compare the p value and using any significance level for example $\alpha=0.05$ we see that $p_v$ so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can conclude that the proportions are different at 5% of significance.
