Bacteria can multiply at an alarming rate when each bacteria splits into two new cells, thus doubling. If we start with only one

bacteria which can double every hour, how many bacteria will we have by the end of one day? Show your work.

Answer:

y = a(b)^t

Where a =1 represent the initial amount of bacteria and b =2 represent the growth factor, for this case since each hour we double the number of bacteria for this reason b =2. And t represent the number of hours after the first bacteria is founded.

So then our model would be given by:

y = 1 (2)^t

And since we want to find the number of bacteria at the end of one day, and we know that one day = 24 hours we can replace the value of t =24 into the model and we got:

f(24) = 1 (2)^{24}=16777216

Then we can conclude that at the end of the day we would expect 16777216 bacteria

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we can use the exponential model given by this general expression:

y = a(b)^t

Where a =1 represent the initial amount of bacteria and b =2 represent the growth factor, for this case since each hour we double the number of bacteria for this reason b =2. And t represent the number of hours after the first bacteria is founded.

So then our model would be given by:

y = 1 (2)^t

And since we want to find the number of bacteria at the end of one day, and we know that one day = 24 hours we can replace the value of t =24 into the model and we got:

f(24) = 1 (2)^{24}=16777216

Then we can conclude that at the end of the day we would expect 16777216 bacteria

Explain how knowing 50 x 4 = 200 helps you find 500 x 400.
Anika [276]
If you do 50 times 4 it’s easier to find 500 times 400 because all you have to do it add 3 more zeros behind 200 making the answer be 200,000.

Solution :

Sampling may be defined as the technique of selecting the individual members or the subset of the population to make a statistical inferences and estimates the characteristics of the entire population.

There are several sampling methods. This includes : Systematic sampling, clustered sampling, stratified sampling, quota sampling, judgement sampling, random sampling, convenience sampling and many more.

In the context, the sampling methods for each of the descriptions are :

a). The researcher use computer program to randomly choose a sample of 30 mice of the 1000 mice for using her study

   --- Simple Random

b). The researcher chose the 1st 30 mice as she can reach the door to the mouse room

   --- Convenience sampling

c). The mice those whose are kept in the cages on 10 various shelves in mouse room. The researcher or the experimenter chose the three mice from each shelve.

  ---- Stratified sampling

d). Each of the cage have 5 mice and the researcher randomly chooses 6 cages for her study

----- Cluster sampling

e). The researcher generates the list of the identification numbers which has been sorted from the smallest to the largest. The researcher randomly picks 1 mouse form the list and selects every 4 mouse until the researcher has 30 mice.

 ---- Systematic sampling
