Answer:

Expected number of books = 1.0

Step-by-step explanation:

Expected number of books, E(x) = ∑xp(x)

∑ = Summation

x = books

p(x) = probability of purchasing a book

E(x) = (0*0.4) + (1*0.2) + (2*0.4)

E(x) = 0 + 0.2 + 0.8 = 1.0

Assuming the population growth models continue to represent the growth of the forests, which forest will have a greater number o
Maksim231197 [3]

The given population models for the trees is given as:

\begin{gathered} A(t)=115(1.025)^t \\ B(t)=82(1.029)^t \end{gathered}

It is required to find which forest will have a greater number of trees after 20 years and by how many.

To do this substitute t=20 in the equations of the models:

A(20)=115(1.025)^{20}\approx188B(20)=82(1.029)^{20}\approx145

Hence, forest A has a greater number of trees after 20 years.

Calculate the difference:

188-145=43

It follows that forest A has a greater number of trees than forest B by 43 trees.

After 20 years, forest A has a greater number of trees than forest B by 43 trees.
