We are given with

relative growth rate = 70%

time = 6 hours

count after 6 hours = 54273


And we are asked to fine the initial number of fungi. We use the equation:

54273 = Ao (1.7)^6

Solving for Ao

Ao = 2248


The initial number of fungi is 2248.

Elijah bought a total of pounds of peanuts and cashew nuts and paid $49.50. If peanuts cost $2.75 per pound and cashew nuts cost
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

11 pounds of cashew nuts

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we call:

p = number of pounds of peanuts bought

n = number of pounds of cashew nuts bought

We also know that:

- Each pound of peanuts costs $2.75, so the cost of p pounds of peanuts is

2.75p

- Each pound of cashew nuts costs $3.25, so the cost of n pounds of cashew nuts is

3.25p

So the total cost, which in this case is $49.50, can be written as:

49.50=2.75p+3.25 n (1)

We also know that the total number of pounds is 16, so:

16=p+n (2)

From this equation we get

p=16-n

And substituting into (1), we find n:

49.50=2.75(16-n)+3.25n\\49.50=44-2.75n+3.25n\\5.50=0.5n\\n=\frac{5.50}{0.5}=11

So, 11 pounds of cashew nuts.

ΔABC is similar to ΔMNO. The scale factor from ΔMNO to ΔABC is 3∕2 . If the area of ΔMNO is 10 square units, what's the area of
Andrews [41]

Answer:

The area of ΔABC= 6.667 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔABC is similar to ΔMNO.

The scale factor from ΔMNO to ΔABC is 3∕2

the area of ΔMNO is 10 square units,

The area of ΔABC/the area of ΔMNO

= 2/3

The area of ΔABC/10= 2/3

The area of ΔABC= 2/3 * 10

The area of ΔABC= 20/3

The area of ΔABC= 6 2/3

The area of ΔABC= 6.667 square units

The mean height of women in a country (ages 20-29) is 64 4 inches A random sample of 50 women in this age group is selected What
Simora [160]

Answer:

0.0721 = 7.21% probability that the mean height for the sample is greater than 65 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Mean of 64.4 inches, standard deviation of 2.91

This means that \mu = 64.4, \sigma = 2.91

Sample of 50 women

This means that n = 50, s = \frac{2.91}{\sqrt{50}}

What is the probability that the mean height for the sample is greater than 65 inches?

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 65. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{65 - 64.4}{\frac{2.91}{\sqrt{50}}}

Z = 1.46

Z = 1.46 has a p-value of 0.9279

1 - 0.9279 = 0.0721

0.0721 = 7.21% probability that the mean height for the sample is greater than 65 inches.
