The number of bacteria in a certain population increases according to a continuous exponential growth model, with a growth rate

parameter of
6.4
%

per hour. How many hours does it take for the size of the sample to double?
Note: This is a continuous exponential growth model.

Log(2)/log(1.064) ≈ 11.17 . . . . hours

_____
The population can be given by
  p(n) = p₀×1.064ⁿ . . . . where n is the number of hours
You want to find n whe p(n) = 2*p₀.
  2p₀ = p₀×1.064ⁿ . . . . . . . . . . . . substitute the given information
  2 = 1.064ⁿ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by p₀
  log(2) = n×log(1.064) . . . . . . . . take logs to make it a linear equation
  log(2)/log(1.064) = n . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of n

For a definite answer, let us take a look at the given circle graph. You are given that landing on a blue sector will give 3 points, landing on a yellow sector will give 1 point, purple sector will give 0 points and red sector will give -1 point. You are asked to find the probability of landing -1, 0, 1 and 3 points. There are a total of 7 pie graphs in the circle.

For -1 point, you know that only a red sector will give you a negative one point. In the circle graph, there are two red portions. So you will have a probability of 2/7.

For the 0 point, you know that only a purple sector will give you zero point. In the circle graph, there are two purple portions. So you will have a probability of 2/7.

For the 1 point, you know that only a yellow sector will give you one point. In the circle graph, there are two yellow portions. So you will have a probability of 2/7.

For the 3 points, you know that only a blue sector will give you three points. In the circle graph, only one blue portion is shown. So you will have a probability of 1/7.

TRUE OR FALSE:
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

It doesn't matter in what order we add our ingredients but if we have a combination to our padlock that is 4-5-6 then the order is extremely important. If the order doesn't matter then we have a combination, if the order do matter then we have a permutation. One could say that a permutation is an ordered combination.

Find the circumference of the circle. Round your answer to two decimal places, if necessary
BabaBlast [244]
What circle?  Please at least describe the circle if you cannot post a picture of it.

Just supposing that the diameter of the circle is 5 units, then the circumference is 

C = pi*(5 units) = 5*pi units = 15.71 units.  (Example only!)
