Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The growth of the bacteria is in the form of an exponential growth. It is given by the formula:

P(t)=ae^{rt}\\\\where\ t\ is\  the\ number\ of \ hours, P(t)\ is\ the \ population\ at\ t\ hours\\\and\ a=population\ at\ start

At 2 hours, the population is 62 cells, hence:

P(2)=ae^{2r}\\\\62=ae^{2r}\ \ .\ \ .\ \ .\ (1)

After another 2 hours (4 hours), the population is 1 million:

P(4)=ae^{4r}\\\\1000000=ae^{4r}\ \ .\ \ .\ \ .\ (2)\\\\Divide \ equation\ 2\ by\ equation\ 1:\\\\\frac{1000000}{62}=\frac{ae^{4r}}{ae^{2r}} \\\\16129=e^{2r}\\\\ln(e^{2r})=ln(16129)\\\\2r=9.688\\\\r=4.844

Put r = 4.844 in equation 1

62=ae^{2*4.844}\\\\62=16129a\\\\a=0.003844

P(t)=0.003844e^{4.844t}\\\\at \ start,t=0\\\\P(0)=0.003844

ELEN [110]

The expected value is the mean of the overall observed value or random value. In other words, it is the average of the observed values.

The expected value, E(x) of the given observation is 185

The given parameters can be represented as:

\begin{array}{cccc}x & {100} & {200} & {300} \ \\ P(x) & {40\%} & {35\%} & {25\%} \ \end{array}

The following formula calculates the expected value:

E(x) =\sum x * P(x)

So, we have:

E(x) = 100 * 40\% + 200 * 35\% + 300 * 25\%

E(x) = 40 + 70 + 75

E(x) = 185
