Answer:

The answer is incorrect because 12 should be negative not positive.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 19 + -31 = - 12

2. Twelve is negative because if you were to start off at -31 and add 19 the answer would remain negative since -31 in a sense is "bigger" than 19. You would need more of a positive number to make -31 positive such as 40.

40+ -31 = 9

What is the rate of decay for the function f(x) =2(0.95)^x ( x is on top of the parentheses)

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The decay rate is 5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a substance is decaying at the rate of r% per hour from the initial value of P for t hours, then the final value of the substance is given by the function

$f(t) = P(1 - \frac{r}{100})^{t}$ ........... (1)

Comparing this equation with the original equation given as

$f(x) = 2(0.95)^{x}$ ............ (2) we get,

$(1 - \frac{r}{100}) = 0.95$

⇒ $\frac{r}{100} = 0.05$

⇒ r = 5%.

Therefore, the decay rate is 5%. (Answer)

Find the indicated probability.

Answer:

C) 0.179

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the trials are independent, this is a binomial distribution:

Recall:

Binomial Distribution --> $P(k)={n\choose k}p^kq^{n-k}$
$P(k)$ denotes the probability of $k$ successes in $n$ independent trials
$p^k$ denotes the probability of success on each of $k$ trials
$q^{n-k}$ denotes the probability of failure on the remaining $n-k$ trials
${n\choose k}=\frac{n!}{(n-k)!k!}$ denotes all possible ways to choose $k$ things out of $n$ things
