Given the equation A (x) = 30 x 8.3 ^x, we can get the initial amount of A when x is equal to zero. Therefore:

A (0) = 30 * 8.3^0

A (0) = 30

In this case the equation grows by 8.3 times as x increases. Therefore the growth factor is 8.3.

Answers:

initial amount = 30

growth factor = 8.3

The answers are not in the given choices. I believe you are giving the wrong equation. If the correct equation here is:

A (x) = 680 x 4.3 ^x

Then the answers are:

initial amount = 680

growth factor = 4.3

The answers are now in the choices given.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x= -2 and y= 3

Hence, simply put it in the equation:

3x + 4y^2

3(-2) + 4(3)^2

-6 + 4(9)

-6 + 36

uysha [10]

Answer:

1) $0.0826052-2.776\frac{0.000013424}{\sqrt{5}}=0.082588$

$0.0826052+2.776\frac{0.000013424}{\sqrt{5}}=0.0826219$

b) $ME= 2.776\frac{0.000013424}{\sqrt{5}}=0.0000166653$

And we want 2/3 of the margin of error so then would be: $2/3 ME = 0.00001111$

The margin of error is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

And on this case we have that ME =0.00001111016 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (1) we got:

$n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} s}{ME})^2$ (2)

Replacing we got:

$n=(\frac{2.776(0.000013424)}{0.00001111})^2 =11.25 \approx 12$

So the answer for this case would be n=12 rounded up to the nearest integer

Step-by-step explanation:

Information given

0.082601, 0.082621, 0.082589, 0.082617, 0.082598

We can calculate the sample mean and deviation with the following formulas:

$\bar X= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}$

$s = \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}$

$\bar X=0.0826052$ represent the sample mean

$\mu$ population mean

s=0.000013424 represent the sample standard deviation

n=5 represent the sample size

Part 1

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

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

The degrees of freedom, given by:

$df=n-1=5-1=4$

The Confidence level is 0.95 or 95%, and the significance would be $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ , the critical value would be using the t distribution with 4 degrees of freedom: $t_{\alpha/2}=2.776$

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

$0.0826052-2.776\frac{0.000013424}{\sqrt{5}}=0.082588$

$0.0826052+2.776\frac{0.000013424}{\sqrt{5}}=0.0826219$

Part 2

The original margin of error is given by:

$ME= 2.776\frac{0.000013424}{\sqrt{5}}=0.0000166653$

And we want 2/3 of the margin of error so then would be: $2/3 ME = 0.00001111$

The margin of error is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

And on this case we have that ME =0.00001111016 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (1) we got:

$n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} s}{ME})^2$ (2)

Replacing we got:

$n=(\frac{2.776(0.000013424)}{0.00001111})^2 =11.25 \approx 12$

So the answer for this case would be n=12 rounded up to the nearest integer
