a population of 140000 grows 4% per year for 16 years. How much will the population be after 16 years?

1 answer:

3 0

At the end of the Year 1 the population will be = 110,000 + 4% of 110,000 =P1At the end of the Year 2 the population will be=P1+ 4% of P1= 110,000 + 4% of 110,000 + 4% of (110,000 + 4% of 110,000) = 110,000 + 4% of (110,000+ 110,000 + 4% of 110,000) = 110,000 + 2*4% of 110,000 + (4%)2 of 110,000= P2At the end of the Year 3 the population will be= P2+ 4% of P2= 110,000 +2* 4% of 110,000 + (4%)2 of 110,000 + 4% of [ 110,000 +2* 4% of 110,000 + (4%)2 of 110,000] = 110,000 +2* 4% of 110,000 + (4%)2 of 110,000 + 4% of 110,000 + 2* (4%)2 of 110,000 + (4%)3 of 110,000 =110,000 +3* 4% of 110,000 +3* (4%)2 of 110,000 + (4%)3 of 110,000 =P3At the end of the Year 4 the population will be= P3+ 4% of P3=110,000 +3* 4% of 110,000 +3* (4%)2 of 110,000 + (4%)3 of 110,000 +4% of [110,000 +3* 4% of 110,000 +3* (4%)2 of 110,000 + (4%)3 of 110,000] =110,000 +4* 4% of 110,000 + 6*(4%)2 of 110,000+4* (4%)3 of 110,000+ (4%)4 of 110,000 Now if we substitute n for 110,000 and r for 4% yearly rate of increase, we can rewrite,Before Year 1, at Year 0, the population, P0= n = n(1+r)0At the end of the Year 1 the population , P1= n+rn= x(1+r)1At the end of the Year 2 the population , P2= n+2rn+r2n =n(1+2r+r2)=n(1+r)2At the end of the Year 3 the population , P3= n+3rn+2r2n+r3n=n(1+3r+3r2+r3)=x(1+r)3At the end of the Year 4 the population , P4= n+4rn+6r2n+4r3n+r4n=n(1+r)4.

At the end of the Year n the population , Px=n+nrx+(x-1)r2n+(x-2)r3n+...........+(x-x+2)r(x-1)x+(x-x+1)rxn=n(1+r)x.....At the end of the Year 16 the population , P16= n+16rn+15r2n+14r3n+.............+3r14n+2r15n+r16n=n(1+r)16 Thus under given condition of rate of growth, the Population P(x) at xth year will be P(x)=n(1+r)x Therefore, a population of 110,000 growing at 4% per year, in 16 years will be= 110,000(1+4/100)16= 110,000(1.04)16=206027.93702999115428132473599427≈206028

I hope this is helpful. I found the solution on the internet. Hope you have a good day and bye.

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

C and e

Step-by-step explanation:

the 50r represents the commision he receives for each refrigerator he sells, and the 250 is the base salary and it’s bigger than, >, because he needs to earn MORE than 900 and you get D by solving the inequality, 50r >900, r>15

would be amazing if you marked this brainliest :)

Finding the volume of a cube involves multiplying with this formula.

Height * Width * Length = volume

To find what the side lengths are, we can take the cube root of 64.

∛64 = 4

Height = 4

Width = 4

Length = 4

These sides are multiplied together to get 64.

The only answer choice that makes sense is Option A.

Suppose that the sample standard deviation was s = 5.1. Compute a 98% confidence interval for μ, the mean time spent volunteerin

NISA [10]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval would be given by (5.139;5.861)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s represent the sample standard deviation

n represent the sample size

2) Confidence interval

Assuming that $\bar X =5.5$ and the ranfom sample n=1086.

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

In order to calculate the critical value $t_{\alpha/2}$ we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

$df=n-1=1086-1=1085$

Since the Confidence is 0.98 or 98%, the value of $\alpha=0.02$ and $\alpha/2 =0.01$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.01,1085)".And we see that $t_{\alpha/2}=2.33$

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

$5.5-2.33\frac{5.1}{\sqrt{1086}}=5.139$

$5.5+2.333\frac{5.1}{\sqrt{1086}}=5.861$

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (5.139;5.861) We are 98% confident that the mean time spent volunteering for the population of parents of school-aged children is between these two values.

Charlie wants to buy new carpet for his living room floor the floor is in the shape of a rectangle its length is 15 feet and the

sdas [7]

Answer:

135 square ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation, you need to find the area of this rectangle. Area is always base x height, or in this case, length x width. Now you multply your length, 15', by your width, 9', to get your answer, 135 square feet. When you multiply two measurments of the same unit together, you get square (units), which simply means that you multiplied two of the same unit of measurment together.
