<h3>Answer: 0.47178  Step-by-step explanation: Find the probability for each p(X=x) up to 5 using the equation: (x-1)C(r-1)*p^r * q^x-r, where x is number of days, p = .3 (prob of rain). q=.7 (prob of not rain), and r=2 (second day of rain). also C means choose. So p(X=1) = 0 p(X=2) = 1C1 * .3^2 * .7^0 = .09 P(X=3) = 2C1 * .3^2 * .7^1 = .126 P(X=4) = 3C1 * .3^2 * .7^2 = .1323 P(X=5) = 4C1 * .3^2 * .7^3 = .12348 Then add all of them up 0+.09+.126+.1323+.12348 = .47178</h3>

A population of 805 cheetahs decreases by 10% per year. How many cheetahs will there be in the population after 6 years?
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = a(b)^x

a would represent the initial value.

b would represent the change

x represents the number of years

y = 805(0.9)^6

y = 805(0.531441)

y = 427.8

y =  427 cheetahs

What is 7 billion in standard form?
zimovet [89]
If by standard from you mean numbers (123) and not words then

1 milllion=1000 thousand or 1000*1000 or 1,000,000
1 billion=1000 million=1000*1000*1000=1,000,000,000
so 7billion=7*1000*1000*1000=7,000,000,000

What is the sum of the first five terms of a geometric series with a1 = 6 and r = 1/3?
tresset_1 [31]
The sum of the terms of a geometric sequence with common ratio lesser than 1 is calculated through the equation,

                                  Sn = (a1) x (1 - r^n) / (1 - r)
Substituting the known values,
                                 S5 = (6) x (1 - (1/3)^5) / (1 - 1/3) = 242/27
Thus, the sum of the first five terms is approximately equal to 8.96.

The amount of radioactive element remaining, r, in a 100mg sample after d days is represented using the equation r=100(1/2) d/5.
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

   12.94%

Step-by-step explanation:

r = 100(1/2)^(d/5) = 100((1/2)^(1/5))^d ≈ 100(.87055)^d

The daily decrease is 1 - 0.87055 = 0.12944 ≈ 12.94%
