The probability that an event occurs is the number of times it could occur compared to the total number of possible events, assuming the probability of each event occurring is equal.

John has $4+8=12$ coins total. If 4 of the coins are dimes, the probability that he draws a dime is $\frac{4}{12}=\frac{1}{3}\approx 33\% \approx 0.33$ .

A scientist is growing bacteria in a lab for study. One particular type of bacteria grows at a rate of y=2t^2+3t+500. A differen

Leya [2.2K]

ANSWER

Approximately after 15 minutes.

EXPLANATION

The growth rate of the first bacteria is

$y = 2 {t}^{2} + 3t + 500$

The growth rate of the first bacteria :

$y = 3 {t}^{2} + t + 300$

To find the time that, there will be an equal number of bacteria, we equate the two equation;

$3 {t}^{2} + t + 300 = 2 {t}^{2} + 3t + 500$

$3 {t}^{2} - 2 {t}^{2} + t - 3t + 300 - 500 =00$

${t}^{2} - 2t - 200= 0$

We solve for t to get,

$t = 15.177$

Or

$t = - 13.177$

We discard the negative value.

This implies that,

$t \approx15$
