The population of a city in Alabama increases every year by 11.5 percent. If the population in 2011 was 4.8 million, what will i

To calculate the population in 2016, we shall proceed as follows;
population growth follows an exponential growth formula given by:
f(t)=ae^(kt)
where:
f(t)=future population
a=initial population
k=constant of proportionality;
suppose in 2011, t=0 and in 2016, t=5; k=11.5%=0.115, a=4.8 million
thus the population in 2016 will be:
f(t)=4.8e^(0.115t)
thus;
f(5)=4e^(0.115*5)
=22.44
N/B the population is in millions
thus;
the population in 2016 will be:
22.44 million

An aircraft emergency locator transmitter (ELT) is a device designed to transmit a signal in the case of a crash. The ACME Manuf
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

a) P(ACME) = 0.7

b) P(ACME/D) = 0.5976

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking into account that ACME manufacturing company makes 70% of the ELTs, if a locator is randomly selected from the general population, the probability that it was made by ACME manufacturing Company is 0.7. So:

P(ACME) = 0.7

Then, the probability P(ACME/D) that a randomly selected locator was made by ACME given that the locator is defective is calculated as:

P(ACME/D) = P(ACME∩D)/P(D)

Where the probability that a locator is defective is:

P(D) = P(ACME∩D) + P(B. BUNNY∩D) + P(W. E. COYOTE∩D)

So, the probability P(ACME∩D) that a locator was made by ACME and is defective is:

P(ACME∩D) = 0.7*0.035 = 0.0245

Because 0.035 is the rate of defects in ACME

At the same way, P(B. BUNNY∩D) and P(W. E. COYOTE∩D) are equal to:

P(B. BUNNY∩D) = 0.25*0.05 = 0.0125

P(W. E. COYOTE∩D) = 0.05*0.08 = 0.004

Finally, P(D) and P(ACME/D) is equal to:

P(D) = 0.0245 + 0.0125 + 0.004 = 0.041

P(ACME/D) = 0.0245/0.041 = 0.5976
