According to the United Nations, in the year 2002, the population of the world was 6.1 billion people and was growing at an annu

al rate of about 1.5%. If this pattern were to continue, then every year, the population would be 1.015 times the population of the previous year. Thus, if P(t) is the world population (in billions) t years after the base year 2002.
(a) What was the population in 2004?
(b) What will the population be in 2010?

Answer:

(a) 6.2843 billion

(b) 6.8716 billion

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there is a constant growth rate of 1.5% per year, and the population in 2002 was 6.1 billion people. The general equation for the total world population, in billions, after 2002 is:

P(t) = 6.1*(1+0.015)^t

With t being the time, in years, after 2002.

a) What was the population in 2004?

t=2004-2002=2\\P(2) = 6.1*(1.015)^2\\P(2) = 6.2843 \ billion

b) What was the population in 2010?

t=2010-2002=8\\P(8) = 6.1*(1.015)^8\\P(8) = 6.8716 \ billion

5. The superintendent of the local school district claims that the children in her district are brighter, on average, than the g
anygoal [31]

Answer:

We conclude that children in district are brighter, on average, than the general population.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following data set:

105, 109, 115, 112, 124, 115, 103, 110, 125, 99

Formula:

\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{\sum (x_i -\bar{x})^2}{n-1}}  

where x_i are data points, \bar{x} is the mean and n is the number of observations.  

Mean = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}

Mean =\displaystyle\frac{1117}{10} = 111.7

Sum of squares of differences = 642.1

S.D = \sqrt{\frac{642.1}{49}} = 8.44

We are given the following in the question:  

Population mean, μ = 106

Sample mean, \bar{x} = 111.7

Sample size, n = 10

Alpha, α = 0.05

Sample standard deviation, s = 8.44

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

H_{0}: \mu = 106\\H_A: \mu > 106

We use one-tailed(right) t test to perform this hypothesis.

Formula:

t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} }

Putting all the values, we have

t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{111.7 - 106}{\frac{8.44}{\sqrt{10}} } = 2.135

Now,

t_{critical} \text{ at 0.05 level of significance, 9 degree of freedom } = 1.833

Since,                  

t_{stat} > t_{critical}

We fail to accept the null hypothesis and reject it. We accept the alternate hypothesis.

We conclude that children in district are brighter, on average, than the general population.

Penny received an unexpected $5,000.00 gift from a distant relative. She invests it
leva [86]

Answer:

$9,000.00 is her original investment worth in 10 yrs.

5000 x 1.08 ^10 = 10794.6249864

Then subtract -500000 = 5794.62498636

Step-by-step explanation:

Why, because the first year is proved 5000 x 0.08 = 400

= 400 year 1 but cna keep only if stays in investment for 10 years

400 x 10 = 4000 interest on investment

5000+ 4000 = $9,000.00 SI

+ 1,794.62 Interest on interest if applies (this is called CI) and makes $10794.62
