Answer:

F(t) = 18000(0.6666)^{t}

Step-by-step explanation:

The fish population after t years can be modeled by the following equation:

F(t) = F(0)(1-r)^{t}

In which F(0) is the initial population and r is the constant rate of decay.

Year one the fish population was 18000

This means that F(0) = 18000

In year three the fish population was 8000 fish.

Two years later, so F(2) = 8000

F(t) = F(0)(1-r)^{t}

8000 = 18000(1-r)^{2}

(1-r)^{2} = 0.4444

\sqrt{(1-r)^{2}} = \sqrt{0.4444}

1 - r = 0.6666

r = 0.3334

So

F(t) = 18000(0.6666)^{t}

Iq scores are normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15.
bearhunter [10]

Mean is \mu=100 and a standard deviation is \sigma =15, then the variable X\sim N(100,15^2).

Use substitution

Z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma},\\  \\ Z=\dfrac{X-100}{15}.

This substitution gives you that Z\sim N(0,1).

a. For X=130, Z=\dfrac{130-100}{15}=2 and Pr(X>130)=Pr(Z>2) =0.9772 (the decimal value is taken from the Standard Normal Distribution Table).

b. For X=90, Z=\dfrac{90-100}{15}=-\dfrac{2}{3} and for X=110, Z=\dfrac{110-100}{15}=\dfrac{2}{3}. Then Pr(90 (the decimal value is taken from the Standard Normal Distribution Table).
