Answer:

Inferential statistics

Step-by-step explanation:

When we conduct a poll, we aim to make a generalization about the population or units under study. The recent poll of 1971 home owners in West Virginia showed that the average (mean) price of house <em>in the U.S</em><em>.</em> is $319,000.

Recall that this poll was conducted only in West Virginia but the result or finding of the poll is being generalized over the U.S. as a whole. Hence, we are using the sample (fraction) to determine the population (whole) of home owners in the U.S. This is what we call <em>statistical inference or inferential statistics.</em>

1 - 2x < 11

x < -5

Jack's mistake is that he was supposed to divide by -2 on both sides of the inequality, but he did not do that. By dividing by -2, he will get x < -5.

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

(a) 100 fishes

(b) t = 10: 483 fishes

t = 20: 999 fishes

t = 30: 1168 fishes

(c)

$P(\infty) = 1200$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$P(t) =\frac{d}{1+ke^-{ct}}$

$d = 1200\\k = 11\\c=0.2$

Solving (a): Fishes at t = 0

This gives:

$P(0) =\frac{1200}{1+11*e^-{0.2*0}}$

$P(0) =\frac{1200}{1+11*e^-{0}}$

$P(0) =\frac{1200}{1+11*1}$

$P(0) =\frac{1200}{1+11}$

$P(0) =\frac{1200}{12}$

$P(0) = 100$

Solving (a): Fishes at t = 10, 20, 30

$t = 10$

$P(10) =\frac{1200}{1+11*e^-{0.2*10}} =\frac{1200}{1+11*e^-{2}}\\\\P(10) =\frac{1200}{1+11*0.135}=\frac{1200}{2.485}\\\\P(10) =483$

$t = 20$

$P(20) =\frac{1200}{1+11*e^-{0.2*20}} =\frac{1200}{1+11*e^-{4}}\\\\P(20) =\frac{1200}{1+11*0.0183}=\frac{1200}{1.2013}\\\\P(20) =999$

$t = 30$

$P(30) =\frac{1200}{1+11*e^-{0.2*30}} =\frac{1200}{1+11*e^-{6}}\\\\P(30) =\frac{1200}{1+11*0.00247}=\frac{1200}{1.0273}\\\\P(30) =1168$

Solving (c): $\lim_{t \to \infty} P(t)$

In (b) above.

Notice that as t increases from 10 to 20 to 30, the values of $e^{-ct}$ decreases

This implies that:

${t \to \infty} = {e^{-ct} \to 0}$

So:

The value of P(t) for large values is:

$P(\infty) = \frac{1200}{1 + 11 * 0}$

$P(\infty) = \frac{1200}{1 + 0}$

$P(\infty) = \frac{1200}{1}$

$P(\infty) = 1200$

Sammy Sales had the following receipts for his tree trimming business for the first six months of the year. What is the average

fredd [130]

$average = \frac{sum \: \: of \: \:all \: \: obeservations}{no. \: \: of \: observaions}$

$= \frac{1205 + 1450 + 1530 + 1655 + 1610 + 1710}{6}$

$= \frac{9160}{6}$

$= 1526.66$

___________________________________________

1526.66 is the average of his sales for this period.
