During the exponential phase, E. coli bacteria in a culture increase in number at a rate proportional to the current population.

If the growth rate is 1.9% per minute and the current population is 172.0 million, what will the population be 7.2 minutes from now?

Answer:

  197.2 million

Step-by-step explanation:

The appropriate exponential equation for the population is ...

  p(t) = 172.0e^(0.019t)

Then we can compute for t=7.2:

  p(7.2) = 172.0e^(0.019·7.2) ≈ 172.0·1.146599 ≈ 197.2

7.2 minutes from now, the population will be about 197.2 million.

___

For continuous growth (or continuous compounding), the exponential formula is ...

  f(t) = (value at t=0)×e^(rt)

where r is the growth rate in one unit of time, and t is the number of time periods.

y = 3p+85, because they are vertical angles.

x = 2p ‐ 10, because they are vertical angles too.

Question Help Of 515515 samples of seafood purchased from various kinds of food stores in different regions of a country and gen
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

(0.5848 ; 0.6552)

We are confident that about 58% to 66% of sea foods in the country are Mislabelled.

No, criticism isnt valid and generalization can be made once the assumptions for constructing a confidence interval is met.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample size, n = 51

p = 0.62

1 - p = 1 - 0.62 = 0.38

n = 515

Confidence level = 90% = Zcritical at 90% = 1.645

Confidence interval = (p ± margin of error)

Margin of Error = Zcritical * sqrt[(p(1-p))/n]

Margin of Error = 1.645 * sqrt[(0.62(0.38))/515]

Margin of Error = 1.645 * 0.0214

Margin of Error = 0.035203

Lower boundary = (0.62 - 0.035203) = 0.584797

Upper boundary = (0.62 + 0.035203) = 0.655203

(0.5848 ; 0.6552)

We are confident that about 58% to 66% of sea foods in the country are Mislabelled.

No, criticism isnt valid and generalization can be made once the assumptions for constructing a confidence interval is met.
