Election day is less than a month away, and political analysts are focused on the races for two statewide political offices. Acc

ording to a recent poll, in the race for Governor, 40% of voters support the Republican candidate and 53% of voters support the Democratic candidate. In the race for Attorney General, 61% of voters support the Republican candidate and 37% of voters support the Democrat. Assume that voter preference of candidate for each of the two offices is independent of each other. What is the probability that a randomly selected voter supports both the Democratic candidate for Governor and the Democratic candidate for Attorney General?

Answer:

0.1961

Step-by-step explanation:

Since these two probabilities are independent of each other, we can simply multiply them.

The probability that a voter will support the Democratic candidate for governor is 0.53.

The probability that a voter will support the Democratic candidate for attorney general is 0.37.

This makes the probability that a voter supports both Democratic candidates 0.53(0.37) = 0.1961.

The population of bacteria in a culture grows at a rate proportional to the number of bacteria present at time t. After 3 hours
Arada [10]

Answer:

The number of bacteria at initial = 187

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the population of bacteria in a culture grows at a rate proportional to the number of bacteria present at time t.

\frac{dN}{dt} = k N

\frac{dN}{N}  = k dt

Integrating both side we get

㏑ N = k t + C ------- (1)

Now given that after 3 hours it is observed that 500 bacteria are present and after 10 hours 5000 bacteria are present.

⇒ ㏑ 500 = 3 k + C -------- (2)

⇒ ㏑ 5000 = 10 k + C ------ (3)

⇒ ㏑ 5000 -  ㏑ 500 = 7 k

⇒ ㏑\frac{5000}{500} = 7 k

⇒  ㏑ 10 = 7 k

⇒ k = 0.329

Put this value of k in equation (2),

⇒ ㏑ 500 = 3 × 0.329 + C

⇒ C = 5.23

Put this value of C in equation 1 we get,

⇒ ㏑ N = k t + 5.23

Initially when t = 0 , then

⇒ ㏑ N = 5.23

⇒ N =  187

Thus the number of bacteria at initial = 187

3x + 2 ≤ 14 <br><br>-5 + 2x &gt; 15 * <br><br>-2x + 4 ≥ 18 <br><br>HaLp i don't gets
sweet-ann [11.9K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  1. x ≤ 4
  2. x > 10
  3. x ≤ -7

Step-by-step explanation:

We're guessing you want to solve for x in each case. You do this in basically the same way you would solve an equation.

1. 3x +2 ≤ 14

  3x ≤ 12 . . . . . subtract 2

  x ≤ 4 . . . . . . . divide by 3

__

2. -5 +2x > 15

  2x > 20 . . . . . . add 5

  x > 10 . . . . . . . . divide by 2

__

3. -2x +4 ≥ 18

  4 ≥ 18 +2x . . . . . add 2x

  -14 ≥ 2x . . . . . . . subtract 18

  -7 ≥ x . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

<em>Additional comment</em>

The statement above that the same methods for solving apply to both equations and inequalities has an exception. The exception is that some operations reverse the order of numbers, so make the inequality symbol reverse. The usual operations we're concerned with are <em>multiplication and division by a negative number</em>: -2 < -1; 2 > 1, for example. There are other such operations, but they tend to be used more rarely for inequalities.

You will note that we avoided division by -2 in the solution of the third inequality by adding 2x to both sides, effectively giving the variable term a positive coefficient. You will notice that also changes its relation to the inequality symbol, just as if we had left the term where it was and reversed the symbol: -2x ≥ 14 ⇔ -14 ≥ 2x ⇔ x ≤ -7 ⇔ -7 ≥ x
