Answer:

0.77 or 77%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Percentage of brown peanuts = 12%

Percentage of yellow peanuts = 15%

Percentage of red peanuts = 12%

Percentage of blue peanuts = 23%

Percentage of orange peanuts = 23%

Percentage of green peanuts = 15%

Total = 0.12 + 0.15 + 0.12 + 0.23 + 0.23 + 0.15 = 1

Probability that a randomly selected peanut M&M is not orange:

P(orange)' = 1 - P(orange)

Where,

P(orange) = 23% = 0.23

Thus,

P(orange)' = 1 - 0.23

P(orange) ' = 0.77

Probability that a randomly selected peanut is not orange = 0.77

Answer:

$894

Step-by-step explanation:

0.06 x 500 x 8^1.25 (-9)= 500+ 403 = $903-9= $894

1.25 = 1/8 of 1 (-9)

1=each power.

8th year = $843.75

9th year = $894

Semi annually you can do the same as 16/1 -17

the population of collin county, which follows the exponential growth model, increased from 491,675 in 2000 to 782,341 in 2010.
CaHeK987 [17]

Applying the formula for the exponential growth model, the growth rate is  0.046447277776453351798354258063923

the exponential growth is a data pattern that illustrates an increase over time by generating an exponential function curve.

The exponential growth model can be expressed as:

P(t) = P(0) x e^(k.t)

Where:

P(t) = Value at time t

P(0) = Initial value

k = growth rate

Information from the problem:

P(0) = 491,675

P(t) = 782,341

t = 2010 - 2000 = 10 years

Substitute the data into the formula:

782,341 = 491,675 x e^{10k}

e^{10k} = 782,341 / 491,675

10 k . ln e = ln (782,341 / 491,675)

10 k = 0.46447277776453351798354258063923

k = 0.046447277776453351798354258063923
