Answer:

C. When the survey was initially conducted average sales of smartphones was 1.7 millions units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the average annual sales of smartphones, in million units, n years after the survey is conducted is modeled by function p(n)=1.7\cdot b^n, where the parameter b is an unknown positive base.


We are asked to find the true statement about our given function.

A. If b= 1.45, the annual growth rate of the sales of smartphones is 145%.

Since we know that b equals (1+r) for growth function, where r is in decimal form.

If b=1.45, it means that the annual growth rate will be 45% as 0.45 is decimal form of 45%, therefore, statement A is not true.

B.  If b= 1.02, annual sales of smartphones will double in 2 years.

If b=1.02, it means that the annual growth rate will be 2% as 0.02 is decimal form of 2%, therefore, statement B is not true.

C. When the survey was initially conducted average sales of smartphones was 1.7 millions units.

Since we know that an exponential function is in form y=a*b^x, where a in initial value of function. We can see from our given function that a equals 1.7, therefore option C is a true statement.

D. The average sales of smartphones increases by 1.7 millions units every year.

Since our function is not a linear function, instead it is an exponential function, so rate of change can not be constant.

Therefore, option D is not true regarding our given function.

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

20 x 20 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

First I just drew out two squares, one was the first un-cut square and the second is the cut one. Since we know that the area of the smaller square is 144, and Area is just side^2 , we know that all the sides of the smaller square are 12. Now, all we have to do is add 8 to 12 to get the original lawn. The original lawn was a 20 x 20 ft lawn.

A data set is summarized in the frequency table below. Using the table, determine the number of values less than or equal to 6.
Nata [24]

Answer:

18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the above table of the data set, the number of values less than or equal to 6 would be the sum of the frequencies of all values that is equal to or less than 6.

From the table above, we would add up the frequencies of the values of 6 and below, which is:

2 + 3 + 6 + 4 + 3 = 18

Answer = 18

10. There are nine golf balls numbered from 1 to 9 in a bag. Three balls are randomly selected without replacement to form a 3-d
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

a) 504

b) 56

c) 0.111

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

There are nine golf balls numbered from 1 to 9 in a bag

Three balls are randomly selected without replacement

a) 3-digit numbers that can be formed

= ^nP_r

n = 9

r = 3

= ⁹P₃

= \frac{9!}{9!-3!}

= 9 × 8 × 7

= 504

b)  3-digit numbers start with the digit 1

=  _ _ _

in the above 3 blanks first digit is fixed i.e 1

we and we have 8 choices left for the last 2 digits

Thus,

n = 8

r = 2

Therefore,

= 1 × ⁸P₂

= 1 × \frac{8!}{8!-2!}

= 1 × 8 × 7

= 56

c) Probability that the 3-digit number formed is less than 200

Now,

The number of 3-digit number formed is less than 200 will be the 3-digit numbers start with the digit 1 i.e part b)

and total 3-digit numbers that can be formed is part a)

therefore,

Probability that the 3-digit number formed is less than 200

= 56 ÷ 504

= 0.111
