Answer:

  • a) 125,220,046 barrels
  • b) 71.25 years

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Oil consumption:</u>

  • 2000000 barrels/year

<u>Rate of increase of consumption:</u>

  • 2% = 0.02 per year

<u>Total reserves </u>

  • 155*2000000 = 310000000 barrels

a) ....................................................................................

<u>Total oil consumption at the end of 42 years:</u>

  • 2,000,000
  • 2,000,000*1.02 =
  • 2.000,000*1.02^2
  • ...
  • 2,000,000*1.02^41

<u>Sum</u>:

  • 2000000*(1 + 1.02+ 1.02^2+ ...+ 1.02^41) =
  • 2000000*(1.02^41 - 1)/(1.02 - 1) = 125,220,046 barrels

b)  ....................................................................................

<u>Oil reserves will last:</u>

  • 2000000*(1.02^x - 1)/(1.02 - 1) = 310000000
  • (1.02^x - 1)/0.02 = 155
  • 1.02^x - 1 = 155*0.02
  • 1.02^x =1 +3.1
  • 1.02^x = 4.1
  • x log 1.02 = log 4.1
  • x = log 4.1 /log 1.02
  • x =  71.25 years

sashaice [31]

Using the probability concept, it is found that there is a \frac{1}{4} probability that a teenager selected at random is female and their favorite hobby is watching films.

<h3>What is a probability?</h3>

A probability is given by the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes</u>.

In this problem:

  • There is a total of 32 teenagers.
  • Of those, 8 are female with a favorite hobby of watching films.

Hence:

p = \frac{8}{32} = \frac{1}{4}

\frac{1}{4} probability that a teenager selected at random is female and their favorite hobby is watching films.
