Answer:

En 5 horas se habrá enterado todo el pueblo.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sabemos que en un pueblo 5 personas escucharon una noticia.

Una hora más tarde, cada una de ellas le contó la noticia a otras 5.

Luego, éstas contaron la noticia a otras 5 y así sucesivamente.

Nadie cuenta ni escucha la noticia más de una vez y en ese pueblo hay un poco más de 19000 habitantes.

La ecuación a desarrollar para resolver el problema es la siguiente :

Comenzamos con 5 personas que escucharon la noticia a la ''hora 0''.

Una hora más tarde, cada una de ellas le contó a 5 personas, es decir , pasada la primera hora tendremos :

5+5^{2}=30 (I)

Las 5 personas originales de la ''hora 0'' más 25 personas que se enteraron pasada la primera hora. La ecuación que planteamos es la siguiente :

5^{1}+5^{2}+5^{3}+...+5^{x}>19000 (II)

Buscamos el valor de x que satisface la ecuación (II).

Probando y realizando las sumas encontramos que :

5^{1}+5^{2}+5^{3}+5^{4}+5^{5}+5^{6}>19000

19530>19000

El valor de x que satisface (II) es x=6.

Para hallar el número de horas nos fijamos que en (I) el valor del mayor exponente del 5 es el número 2. Para ese valor 2, el tiempo que pasó es una hora.

Entonces para nuestro x=6, el número de horas que pasaron son 5 horas (1 menos que el valor de x)

Todo el pueblo se habrá enterado en 5 horas de la noticia.

What is the greatest common factor GCF of 10 and four
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Take the numbers 50 and 30. Their greatest common factor is 10, since 10 is the greatest factor that both numbers have in common. To find the GCF of greater numbers, you can factor each number to find their prime factors, identify the prime factors they have in common, and then multiply those together.

The equation y=x^2-12x+45 models the number of books y sold in a bookstore x days after an award-winning author appeared at an a
romanna [79]
Answer: The first day the author reaches 100 days is on day 16.

To solve this problem, you could use a graphing calculator to graph the given equation. Then, determine when this line crosses 100. It crosses when x = 15.539. Therefore, we would have to round up to 16 so it is at least 100.

You could use the quadratic equation to solve: 100 = x^2 -12x + 45

Either you will get 16. If you use the quadratic formula, make sure to only use the positive answer.

Use the sample data and confidence level to construct the confidence interval estimate of the population proportion p. n equals
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

(0.767,0.833)

Step-by-step explanation:

The 95% confidence interval for population proportion p can be computed as

p-z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } \sqrt{\frac{pq}{n} }

The z-value associated with 95% confidence level is 1.96.

whereas p=x/n

We are given that x=440 and n=550.

p=440/550=0.8

0.8-1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.8(0.2)}{550} }

0.8-1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.16}{550} }

0.8-1.96\sqrt{0.00029 }

0.8-1.96(0.01706)

0.8-0.03343

0.76657

Thus, the required confidence interval is

0.767<P<0.833  (rounded to 3 decimal places)

Hence, we are 95% confident that our true population proportion will lie in the interval (0.767,0.833)
