Answer: The population after 10 years is 33500

Step-by-step explanation:

The current population of the town is 25000. It increases at a rate of 3%

The formula for compound interest is expressed as

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

Where

A represents the final value at the end of t years.

t represents time in years.

n represents the periods of increase.

r represents growth rate

P represents initial or current value.

From the information given,

r = 3%

t = 10 years

Looking at the compound interest table, the columns represents the growth rate while the the rows represents the number of years.

Therefore, the compound interest multiplier for 3% and 10 years is 1.34

Therefore

The population after 10 years would be

1.34 × 25000 = 33500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the population after 10 years be x.

\therefore \: x =25000 \times  (1 +  \frac{3}{100} )^{10}  \\  \\  \therefore \: x = 25000 \times (1 +  0.03 )^{10} \\  \\  \therefore \: x =25000 \times  (1.03 )^{10}  \\  \\ \therefore \: x = 25000 \times 1.34391638  \\  \\ \therefore \: x =33,597.9095 \\  \\  \therefore \: x \approx \: 33598

Thus, the population of the town after 10 years would be 33598.

A researcher wishes to estimate the proportion of adults who have​ high-speed Internet access. What size sample should be obtain
slega [8]

Answer: 8359

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for sample size needed for interval estimate of population proportion :-

n=p(1-p)(\frac{z_{\alpha/2}}{E})^2

Given : The significance level : \alpha=1-0.95=0.05

Critical value : z_{\alpha/2}}=z_{0.025}=\pm1.96

Previous estimate of proportion : p=0.32

Margin of error : E=0.01

Now, the required sample size will be :-

n=0.32(1-0.32)(\frac{1.96}{0.01})^2=8359.3216\approx8359

Hence, the required sample size = 8359
