A population of mice is increasing exponentially. On Monday there were 120 most. One month later there were 132 most. Ready func

djyliett [7]

Answer:

$y=120 * 1.1^x$ --- function

The monthly rate is 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let

$x \to months$

$y \to mice$

So, we have:

$(x_1,y_1) = (0,120)$ --- Monday

$(x_2,y_2) = (1,132)$ --- One month later

Required

The function

The function is represented as:

$y=ab^x$

In $(x_1,y_1) = (0,120)$ , we have:

$120 = a * b^0$

$120 = a * 1$

$120 = a$

$a=120$

In $(x_2,y_2) = (1,132)$ , we have:

$132 = a * b^1$

$132 = a * b$

Substitute: $a=120$

$132 = 120 * b$

Solve for b

$b = \frac{132}{120}$

$b = 1.1$

So, the function is:

$y=ab^x$

$y=120 * 1.1^x$

To calculate the monthly rate (r), we have:

$y =a(1 + r)^x$

Compare to: $y =ab^x$

$1 + r = b$

Make r the subject

$r = b-1$

Substitute $b = 1.1$

$r = 1.1-1$

$r = 0.1$

Express as percentage

$r = 0.1*100\%$

$r = 10\%$

Find the value of x for which m parallel to n A. 31 B. 33 C. 39 D. 41

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Hello!

We are told that n and m are parallel.
The angle that measures 105 degrees is supplementary with the alternate interior angle of the angle which measures (3x - 18) degrees. Supplementary angles add to equal 180 degrees, so we can make an equation by first finding the measure of the alternate interior angle.

180 - 105 = 75

The alternate interior angle measures 75 degrees, so we can set that equal to 3x - 18 to solve for x since alternate interior angles are congruent.

75 = 3x - 18
93 = 3x
31 = x

Answer:
x = 31

Using the normal approximation to the binomial, it is found that:

The mean of X is of 52 samples.
The standard deviation of X is of 4.2661 samples.
0.0017 = 0.17% probability that less than half without any traces of pesticide.

--------------------------------

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, with mean given by:

$E(X) = np$

And standard deviation of:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Z-score formula is used, which, in a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

Each z-score has an associated p-value, which measures the percentile of measure X.

--------------------------------

65% of samples had no pesticide, thus $p = 0.65$
80 samples, thus $n = 80$

The mean of X is of:

$E(X) = np = 0.65(80) = 52$

The standard deviation of X is of:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{80(0.65)(0.35)} = 4.2661$

Using the approximation and continuity correction, the probability is $P(X < 40 - 0.5) = P(X < 39.5)$ , which is the p-value of Z when X = 39.5. Thus:
