Answer:

a=40.33 and b = -0,5041

Step-by-step explanation:

given that

n = a[1 + b^(e - 0.5t)]

When t =0 we have 20 = a(1+b)  ... i

Increase rate = 8 cells per hour

Hence when t=1, n =28

i.e. 28 = a(1+be^(-0.5)) = a(1+0.6066b) = 28 ... i

Divide ii by i

28/20 = 1+0.6066b/1+b

28+28b = 20+12.1312b

15.869b= -8

b = -0.5041

Substitute in 20 = a(1+b)

20 = a(0.4959)

a=40.33

thus answer is a = 40.33 and b=-0.5041

Consider the random experiment of tossing 3 fair coins and observing how many of them come to rest with the heads side of the co
zaharov [31]

Answer:

b. S = AUB

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the coins are tossed  3 times and each coin has head, H and tail, T(2 sides), the sample space is S = 2 × 2 × 2 = 2³ = 8

All the possible outcomes are HTT, HHT, HHH, THH, TTH, HTH,THT and TTT

Since S denote the sample space

S = {HTT, HHT, HHH, THH, TTH, HTH,THT, TTT}

Since A denote the event that at least 1 of the coins comes to rest with its heads side upwards, the possible outcomes are HTT, HHT, HHH, THH, TTH, HTH and THT

So, A = {HTT, HHT, HHH, THH, TTH, HTH,THT}

Also B denote the event that none of the coins comes to rest with its heads side upwards, that is no heads. The possible outcome is TTT

So, B = {TTT}

Since S denote the sample space

S = {HTT, HHT, HHH, THH, TTH, HTH,THT, TTT}

So, A ∪ B = {HTT, HHT, HHH, THH, TTH, HTH,THT} ∪  {TTT} = {HTT, HHT, HHH, THH, TTH, HTH,THT, TTT} = S

So, S = A ∪ B

So, S = A ∪ B does not denote an abuse of notation.

The answer is b.
