A=Pe^(rt)

P = 800g

t = 8 years

A = 450g

r = This is what we will try and find to start with

450=800e^(r*8)

After running the math through a calculator, we end with r = -0.07192

Now we just re-input this information into our equation: A=800e^(-0.07192*16)

A=800e^(1.15072)

Now we will re-write the equation using the negative exponent rule:

A = 800 1/e^1.15072

Combine right side:

A = 800/e^1.15072

Then do the math:

A = 253.12709836......

That will give us A = 253 (rounded to the whole number)

I hope this helps! :)

kirill [66]
I would say that the results of the study are not significant. This is because the difference of those who drink tea and did not drink tea is small and more or less will have the same values at some points of the research. Having a difference of  0.024, cannot really say anything or differentiate the two.
