A population of flies grows according to the function p(x) = 3(2)x, where x is measured in weeks. A local spider has set up shop

and consumes flies according to the function s(x) = 2x + 4. What is the population of flies after three weeks with the introduced spider? 10 flies
12 flies

14 flies

24 flies

The answer is 14 flies 

1. Calculate the population of flies after 3 weeks without the spider: p(3)
2. Calculate the number of eaten flies by the spider after 3 weeks: s(3)
3. Subtract p(3) and s(3) to get  the population of flies after three weeks with the introduced spider.

1. Calculate the population of flies after 3 weeks without the spider:
     p(x) = 3(2)ˣ
     x = 3 (because it is the period of three weeks)
⇒  p(3) = 3 · 2³ = 3 · 8
     p(3) = 24

2. Calculate the number of eaten flies by the spider after 3 weeks:
      s(x) = 2x + 4
      x = 3 (because it is the period of three weeks)
⇒   s(3) = 2 · 3 + 4 = 6 + 4
      s(3) = 10

3. Subtract p(3) and s(3) to get  the population of flies after three weeks with the introduced spider:
    p(3) - s(3) = 24 - 10 = 14
Therefore, there are 14 flies after three weeks with the introduced spider.

Type the correct answer in each box. If necessary, use /for the fraction bars
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

The experimental probability of rolling an odd number is 60%, which is 10% more than the theoretical probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is:

Type the correct answer in each box. Use numerals instead of words. If necessary, use/ for the fraction bar(s).

A special 8-sided die is marked with the numbers 1 to 8. It is rolled 20 times with these outcomes.

3, 4, 5, 2, 7, 1, 3, 7, 2, 6, 2, 1, 7, 3, 6, 1, 8, 3, 5, 6

The experimental probability of rolling an odd number is _%, which is _% more than the theoretical probability.

Solution:

The possible outcomes of rolling an 8-sided die are:

S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}

The odd numbers are:

Odd = {1, 3, 5, 7} = 4 outcomes

The theoretical probability of rolling an odd number is:

P_{T}(\text{Odd})=\farc{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2}=50\%

Now from the given 20 outcomes the odd values are:

Odd = {3, 5, 7, 1, 3, 7, 1, 7, 3, 1, 3, 5} = 12 outcomes

Compute the experimental probability of rolling an odd number as follows:

P_{E}(\text{Odd})=\frac{12}{20}=\frac{3}{5}=60\%

Thus, the experimental probability of rolling an odd number is 60%, which is 10% more than the theoretical probability.
