1) 155.91 grams would be left after 10 years

2) The population would be 376,478 in 2040

Step-by-step explanation:

The form of the exponential function is y=a(b)^{x} , where

  • a is the initial amount (y at x = 0)
  • b is the growth/decay factor
  • b = 1 + r, where r is the rate of growth
  • b = 1 - r, where r is the rate of decay

1)

Scientists are studying a 500 grams sample of a radioactive element, which has an annual decay rate of 11%

∵ The initial amount is 500 grams

∴ a = 500

∵ The annual decay rate is 11%

∴ r = 11% = 11 ÷ 100 = 0.11

∵ b = 1 - r ⇒ decay

∴ b = 1 - 0.11 = 0.89

- We need to find how many grams of the sample would be left

  after 10 years

∴ x = 10

- Substitute all of these values in the form of the exponential function

∵ y=500(0.89)^{10}

∴ y = 155.9085996

- Round it to 2 decimal places

∴ y = 155.91

155.91 grams would be left after 10 years

2)

In 2000, the population of an Ohio town was 140,212. The population is expected to grow at a rate of 2.5% each year

∵ The population of an Ohio town was 140,212

∴ a = 140.212

∵ The population is expected to grow at a rate of 2.5% each year

∴ r = 2.5% = 2.5 ÷ 100 = 0.025

∵ b = 1 + r ⇒ growth

∴ b = 1 + 0.025 = 1.025

- We need to find the population in 2040

∵ The number of years is 2040 - 2000 = 40 years

∴ x = 40

- Substitute all of these values in the form of the exponential function

∵ y=140212(1.025)^{40}

∴ y = 376478.1709

- Round it to the nearest whole number

∴ y = 376,478

The population would be 376,478 in 2040

Among a sample of 55 male soldiers the average shower time was found to be 2.95 minutes and the population standard deviation is
Oksanka [162]

Answer: -3.0593

Step-by-step explanation:

The test statistic for the difference between two population mean (when population standard deviations \sigma_1\ \&\ \sigma_2  are known ) is given by :-

z=\dfrac{\overline{x}_1-\overline{x}_2}{\sqrt{\dfrac{\sigma_1^2}{n_1}+\dfrac{\sigma_2^2}{n_2}}}

where ,

n_1\ \&\ n_2 = Sample sizes taken from two  populations 1 and 2.

\overline{x}_1-\overline{x}_2 = Difference between two Sample mean.

\sigma_1\ \&\ \sigma_2 = Standard deviations of populations 1 and 2.

As per given , we have

n_1=55\ \&\ n_2=58

\overline{x}_1=2.95\ \&\ \overline{x}_2=3.3

\sigma_1=0.65\ \&\ \sigma_2=0.56

We assume that the data follows a normal distribution.

Then, the test statistic will be :-

z=\dfrac{2.95-3.3}{\sqrt{\dfrac{(0.65)^2}{55}+\dfrac{(0.56)^2}{58}}}\\\\=\dfrac{-0.35}{\sqrt{0.0130887}}\\\\=\dfrac{-0.35}{0.1144059}=3.05928278174\approx-3.0593  

Hence, the test statistic= -3.0593

If 15% of 4x is 20 less than x, what is the value of x?
Bess [88]

The sentence "15% of 4x is 20 less than x"

translates to    0.15 • (4x)  = x – 20

Solving that…

    0.15(4x) = x - 20           multiplipy 0.15•4

          0.6x = x - 20           subtract x from both sides

         -0.4x = - 20              divide both sides by -0.4

                x = 50

natta225 [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

8^2 + 15^2 = ?

64 + 225 = 17^2

289 = 289

\sqrt{289} = \sqrt{289\\} \\ 17 = 17
