Answer:

The number of subscribers in 2008 is 110,845,988

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of cell phone subscribers in Arlington, in t years after 1985, can be modeled by the following equation.

$N(t) = N(0)(1+r)^{t}$

And which N(0) is the number of subscribers in 1985 and r is the rate it increases per year, as a decimal.

In 1985, there were 285 cell phone subscribers in Arlington.

This means that $N(0) = 285$

The number of subscribers increased by 75% per year since 1985.

This means that $r = 0.75$

So

$N(t) = 285(1.75)^{t}$

Find the number of subscribers in 2008.

2008 is 2008-1985 = 23 years after 1985. So we have to find N(23).

$N(23) = 285(1.75)^{23} = 110,845,988$

The number of subscribers in 2008 is 110,845,988

Y+2 = -3(x – 4)<br> Complete the missing value in the solution to the equation. <br><br> (?, -2)

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

The missing value in the solution to

the equation will be:

$x=4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation

$y+2\:=-3\left(x\:-\:4\right)$

As the value of y = -2 is given.

so substituting the value y = -2 in the equation to find the missing value

$\left(-2\right)+2\:=-3\left(x\:-\:4\right)$

switch the sides

$-3\left(x-4\right)=\left(-2\right)+2$

$\mathrm{Remove\:parentheses}:\quad \left(-a\right)=-a$

$-3\left(x-4\right)=-2+2$

$-3\left(x-4\right)=0$

$\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}-3$

$\frac{-3\left(x-4\right)}{-3}=\frac{0}{-3}$

$x-4=0$

$x=4$

Therefore, the missing value in the solution to

the equation will be:

$x=4$

stion 13: A typical barrel of bot-oil contains 70 liters of oil. If a hole he barrel is causing a constant 6 liters an hour leak

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

y = -6x + 70

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the amount of oil in the tank decreases constantly, we need to create a linear function. Using the base form, y = mx + b, we can replace -6 for m because volume decreases by 6 (or increases by -6) each hour, and +70 for b because we start off with 70 liters of oil. So we get y = -6x + 70, with x representing the number of hours, and y representing the volume of oil remaining.

An accounting firm is planning for the next tax preparation season. From last years returns, the firm collects a systematic rand

Elena L [17]

Answer:

a)From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean $\bar X$ is given by:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})$

And the standard error for the mean would be:

$\sigma_{\bar X}= \frac{140}{\sqrt{100}} =14$

b) We want this probability:

$P(\bar X >120)$

And we can use the z score formula given by:

$z = \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

And replacing we got:

$z = \frac{120-90}{\frac{140}{\sqrt{100}}}= 2.143$

And we can find this probability with the complement rule and the normal standard deviation or excel and we got:

$P( z>2.143) = 1-P(Z$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The central limit theorem states that "if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and take sufficiently large random samples from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally distributed. This will hold true regardless of whether the source population is normal or skewed, provided the sample size is sufficiently large".

Solution to the problem

Part a

From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean $\bar X$ is given by:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})$

And the standard error for the mean would be:

$\sigma_{\bar X}= \frac{140}{\sqrt{100}} =14$

Part b

We want this probability:

$P(\bar X >120)$

And we can use the z score formula given by:

$z = \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

And replacing we got:

$z = \frac{120-90}{\frac{140}{\sqrt{100}}}= 2.143$

And we can find this probability with the complement rule and the normal standard deviation or excel and we got:

$P( z>2.143) = 1-P(Z$
