The world's population was 5.51 billion on January 1, 1993 and 5.88 billion on January 1, 1998. Assume that at any time the popu

lation grows at a rate proportional to the population at that time. In what year should the world's population reach 7 billion? (Give a calendar year. For example: 2001)

Answer:

In 2011 the world's population will be 7 billions

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets choose January 1, 1993 as 0 time, so January 1, 1998 is time 5, because is 5 year after.

As the population grows at a ate proportional to the population at that time, we can determinate the linear relationship between the time and the world's population.

We have two point:

January 1, 1993 (x1=0) ⇒ world's population was 5.51 billion (y1= 5.51)

January 1, 1998 (x2=5) ⇒ world's population was 5.88 billion (y2= 5.88)

The linear relationship between this two variables can be represent by the equation:

y=a*x+b (linear function)

a ⇒ slope

b ⇒ intercept with y-axes

a=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}=\frac{5.88-5.51}{5-0}=\frac{0.37}{5}=0.074

b=y-a*x

Using (x1,y1)

b=5.51-0.074*0=5.51

y=0.074*x+5.51

Now we can estimate how many years from 1991 the population will be 7 billion

y3=7

x3= ?

(y3-5.51)/0.074= x3

(7-5.51)/0.074=x3

20.135=x3

The result is not an exact value, but this decimal value will represent a few extra days after January 1, 2011 (20 years after January 1, 1991), but as the question as for a calendar year and not and exact day we will just work with the 20 years

We can say that in 2011 the world's population will be 7 billions

Ronch [10]

Answer:

H0 : μEng = μBio

H1: μEng ≠ μBio

Step-by-step explanation:

μEng = Engineering average gpa

μBio = Biology average gpa

To test for difference between two sample means , in this case grade point average of biology majors and Engineering major.

Null hypothesis is the initial truth, which is that ; there is no difference in the mean grade point average of both biology and engineering majors

H0 : μEng = μBio

The Alternative hypothesis is the opposite of the null, which is stated has ; there is difference between the average GPA of both Engineering and Biology majors

H1: μEng ≠ μBio

I need help with number 9
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

We can safely assume we are dealing with an arithmetic scale because the type of scale isn't mentioned anywhere. The more right a point is on the scale, the higher its value is. We are given two points of the scale: 3 and 4. Because the scale is arithmetic, we know that 3.8 must lie on 4/5s of the length between 3 and 4 to the right of 3, which is exactly where point D is.

An object is dropped from a small plane. As the object falls, its distance, d, above the ground after t seconds, is given by the
DedPeter [7]

<em><u>The inequality can be used to find the interval of time taken by the object to reach the height  greater than 300 feet above the ground is:</u></em>

d = -16t^2 + 1000

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>The object falls, its distance, d, above the ground after t seconds, is given by the  formula:</u></em>

d = -16t^2 + 1000

To find the time interval in which the object is at a height greater than 300 ft

Frame a inequality,

-16t^2 + 1000 > 300

Solve the inequality

Subtract 1000 from both sides

-16t^2 + 1000 - 1000 > 300 - 1000\\\\-16t^2 > -700

16t^2 < 700\\\\Divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 16\\\\t^2 < \frac{700}{16}\\\\Take\ square\ root\ on\ both\ sides\\\\t < \sqrt{\frac{700}{16}}\\\\t < \pm 6.61

Time cannot be negative

Therefore,

t < 6.61

And the inequality used  is: -16t^2 + 1000>300

You use for gallons of water on 14 plants in your garden. At this rate how much water will it take to water 35 plants?
nataly862011 [7]
The answer would be 10! I divided the number of plants that you can water with 4 gallons (14) by, well, the number of gallons it takes to water them (4) and got 3.5 (14 / 4 = 3.5), the number of plants you can water with one gallon. I then divided the number of plants you need to water (35) by the number of gallons it takes to water one plant (3.5) and came up with 10. I hope this helps you!
