In 1990, the rate of change of the world population was approximately 0.09125 billion per year (or approximately 1 million peopl

e every four days). The world population was estimated to be 5.3 billion in 1990.
Write an equation to model the population, P (in billions), in terms of t, where t is the number of years since 1990 (t = 0 corresponds to 1990)

A. P= 5.3 + 0.09125t

B. P= 5.3t + 0.09125

C. P= -5.3 + 0.09125t

D.P= -5.3t + 0.09125

Answer: Option A

P = 5.3 + 0.09125t

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that for the initial year, 1990, the population was 5.3 billion.

The exchange rate is 0.09125 billion per year. In other words, each year there are 0.09125 billion more people.

In year 2 there will be 0.09125 * 2 billion people

In year 3 there will be 0.09125 * 3 billion people

In year 4 there will be 0.09125 * 4 billion people

In year t there will be 0.09125 * t billion of people

So the equation that models the number of people that there will be as a function of time is:

P = P_0 + rt

Where P_0 is the initial population

P_0 = 5.3 billion

r is the rate of increase

r = 0.09125 billion per year

finally the equation is:

P = 5.3 + 0.09125t

The correct answer is option A.

The long-distance calls made by the employees of a company are normally distributed with a mean of 6.3 minutes and a standard de
Sergio [31]

To solve this problem, we use the formula:

z = (x – u) / s

where z is the z score value which can be obtained from the tables, x is the sample value, u is the mean = 6.3 min, and s is the std dev = 2.2 min

 

at P value = 0.90, the z = 1.28, finding for x:

x = z s + u

x = 1.28 * 2.2 + 6.3

x = 9.116

 

at P value = 1.0, the z = 3.49, finding for x:

x = z s + u

x = 3.49 * 2.2 + 6.3

x = 13.978 ~ 14

 

Therefore the longest 10% calls last about 9.1 minutes to 14 minutes

ki77a [65]
You need to divide the 3 blocks of clay by the 4 friends. 3 goes in the dividend and the 4 is outside. 3 divided by 4 is equal to 0.75 or 3/4, so each friend gets 0.75 or 3/4 clay
