Answer:

x = 72

Step-by-step explanation:

We set the two equal to each other

x = 12/y = 9 is equal to x/y = 54.

In order for 9 to get to 54, you have to multiply it by 6. Since you multiplied the denominator with 6, you have to do the same with the numerator. 12 times 6 is 72.

x = 72

Use the given values of n and p to find the minimum usual value μ−2σ and the maximum usual value μ+2σ. Round to the nearest hund

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

μ−2σ = 1,089.26

μ+2σ = 1,097.62

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard deviation of a sample of size 'n' and proportion 'p' is:

$\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{p*(1-p)}{n} }$

If n=1139 and p =0.96, the standard deviation is:

$\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{p*(1-p)}{n}}\\\sigma = 0.001836$

The minimum and maximum usual values are:

$\mu-2\sigma = (p-2\sigma)*n\\\mu+2\sigma = (p+2\sigma)*n$

$\mu-2\sigma = (0.96-2*0.001836)*1139\\\mu-2\sigma = 1,089.26\\\mu+2\sigma = (0.96+2*0.001836)*1139\\\mu+2\sigma = 1,097.62$

Suppose a population of 140 crickets doubles in size every month. The function f(x) = 140∗2x gives the population after x months

Tema [17]

The equation would then be f(x) = 140 x 2(24)

There will be 6,720 crickets in 2 years
