Answer:P(BBR) = 1/2 × 25/51 × 26/50 = 13/102 if cards are not replaced.

P(RBB) = 1/2 × 26/51 × 25/50 (simplified 1/2) = 13/102

P(BRB) = 1/2 × 26/51 ×25/50 (simplified 1/2) = 13/102

Step-by-step explanation: P(B) at first step is 26 cards out of a possible 52 therefore 26/52 (or simplified 1/2). We then have 25 black cards left out of a possible 51 therefore 25/51. The final card then has to be red to meet the criteria, we have 26 red cards still out of a possible 50 therefore 26/50.

This would be an example of binomial probability as at each step there are only 2 options R or B.

A country's population in 1991 was 114 million. In 1997 it was 120 million. Estimate the population in 2014 using exponential gr

Rufina [12.5K]

The answer is 138 million.

Step 1. Calculate the growth rate.
Step 2. Calculate the population number in 2014.

We will use the formula for exponential growth:
A = P * eⁿˣ
where:
A - the final amount (value)
P - the initial amount (value)
e - the mathematical constant (e ≈ 2.72)
n - the growth rate
x - the time

Step 1:
A = 120 million = 120 000 000
P = 114 million = 114 000 000
n = ?
x = 1997 - 1991 = 6
Therefore:
$120 000 000 = 114 000 000 * e ^{n*6} \\ e ^{n*6} =120 000 000 /114000000 \\ e ^{n*6} =1.05 \\$
Logarithm both sides of the equation:
$ln(e ^{n*6})=ln(1.05) \\ n*6*ln(e) = ln(1.05) \\ 6n=ln(1.05) \\ n = \frac{ln(1.05)}{6} \\ n = \frac{0.05}{6} \\ n = 0.0083$

Step 2:
Now when we know the growth rate, it is easy to estimate the population in 2014
A = ?
P = 120 000 000
n = 0.0083
t = 2014 - 1997 = 17
$A = 120 000 000 * e ^{0.0083*17} \\ 
A = 120 000 000 * e^{0.1411} \\ 
A = 120 000 000 * 1.15 \\ 
A = 138 000 000
$
Thus, the population will be 138 million in 2014

A 220$ ring is on sale for 40% off. A sales tax of 7% will be applied to the sale price. What will be the final cost of the ring

ddd [48]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

60% of 220 is 132. So thats the sale. The tax is 7% of that. So 7% of 132 is 9.24 So 132+9.24=141.24

What is the value of<br> 3 to the power of 2 under 3 to the power of 4

garri49 [273]

Answer: 9/81

Step-by-step explanation:

I did 3 to the second power then 3 to the fourth power. Then put them on top of each other. If the over is supposed to mean division then the answer would be 9.
