An animal reserve has 20,000 elk. The population is increasing at a rate of 8% per year. This can be modeled by the function P(t

) = 20,000 (1.08)^t where t represents time in years and P(t) represents the elk population. What is the estimated population of elk in 6 years?

Answer:

The answer would be 31,737 elks.

Step-by-step explanation:

You would solve this by multiplying 1.08 by the power of 6 which equals 1.586874322944. You would then multiply this number by 20,000 which equals 31,737.4865 but since you can’t have .4865 of an elk the answer is just 31,737.

I hope this helps

You have a right circular cone of height 1530 mm and volume 2.2 x 104 in3 . Calculate the base diameter of the cone.

Alja [10]

Answer:

37.35 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cone is given by the formula ...

V = (π/3)r²h

where r is the radius of the base and h is the height. We want to find the diameter of the base, so we can rewrite this in terms of diameter and solve for d. Please note that the height is given in millimeters, not inches, so a conversion is necessary.

V = (π/3)(d/2)²h

12V/(πh) = d²

d = 2√(3V/(πh)) = 2√(3(2.2×10^4 in^3)/(π·1530 mm/(25.4 mm/in))

= 2√(1.6764×10^6/(π·1.53×10^3) in^2)

d ≈ 37.35 in

The base diameter of the cone is about 37.35 inches.

A particular telephone number is used to receive both voice calls and fax messages. Suppose that 25% of the incoming calls invol

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

a) 0.214 = 21.4% probability that at most 4 of the calls involve a fax message

b) 0.118 = 11.8% probability that exactly 4 of the calls involve a fax message

c) 0.904 = 90.4% probability that at least 4 of the calls involve a fax message

d) 0.786 = 78.6% probability that more than 4 of the calls involve a fax message

Step-by-step explanation:

For each call, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it involves a fax message, or it does not. The probability of a call involving a fax message is independent of other calls. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

25% of the incoming calls involve fax messages

This means that $p = 0.25$

25 incoming calls.

This means that $n = 25$

a. What is the probability that at most 4 of the calls involve a fax message?

$P(X \leq 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)$ .

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{25,0}.(0.25)^{0}.(0.75)^{25} = 0.001$

$P(X = 1) = C_{25,1}.(0.25)^{1}.(0.75)^{24} = 0.006$

$P(X = 2) = C_{25,2}.(0.25)^{2}.(0.75)^{23} = 0.025$

$P(X = 3) = C_{25,3}.(0.25)^{3}.(0.75)^{22} = 0.064$

$P(X = 4) = C_{25,4}.(0.25)^{4}.(0.75)^{21} = 0.118$

$P(X \leq 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.001 + 0.006 + 0.025 + 0.064 + 0.118 = 0.214$

0.214 = 21.4% probability that at most 4 of the calls involve a fax message

b. What is the probability that exactly 4 of the calls involve a fax message?

$P(X = 4) = C_{25,4}.(0.25)^{4}.(0.75)^{21} = 0.118$

0.118 = 11.8% probability that exactly 4 of the calls involve a fax message.

c. What is the probability that at least 4 of the calls involve a fax message?

Either less than 4 calls involve fax messages, or at least 4 do. The sum of the probabilities of these events is 1. So

$P(X < 4) + P(X \geq 4) = 1$

We want $P(X \geq 4)$ . Then

$P(X \geq 4) = 1 - P(X < 4)$

In which

$P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{25,0}.(0.25)^{0}.(0.75)^{25} = 0.001$

$P(X = 1) = C_{25,1}.(0.25)^{1}.(0.75)^{24} = 0.006$

$P(X = 2) = C_{25,2}.(0.25)^{2}.(0.75)^{23} = 0.025$

$P(X = 3) = C_{25,3}.(0.25)^{3}.(0.75)^{22} = 0.064$

$P(X$

$P(X \geq 4) = 1 - P(X < 4) = 1 - 0.096 = 0.904$

0.904 = 90.4% probability that at least 4 of the calls involve a fax message.

d. What is the probability that more than 4 of the calls involve a fax message?

Very similar to c.

$P(X \leq 4) + P(X > 4) = 1$

From a), $P(X \leq 4) = 0.214)$

Then

$P(X > 4) = 1 - 0.214 = 0.786$

0.786 = 78.6% probability that more than 4 of the calls involve a fax message
