Answer: 199: 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The odds against any event is the ratio of the unfavorable outcomes to the favorable outcomes.

Given , The winner of a raffle will receive a​ 21-foot outboard boat.

Total raffle tickets were sold  = 6000

Number of tickets you have = 30

We assume that the lottery was fair , then, the number of possible outcome that you will win = 30

and the number of possible outcomes that one of the others wins = 6000-30= 5970

Then, the odds against your winning the​ boat = Number of possible outcomes that one of the others wins : Number of possible outcome that you will win

= 5970: 30 = 199:1   [∵\dfrac{5970}{30}=\dfrac{199}{1}]

Hence, the odds against your winning the​ boat = 199: 1.

The population of a small industrial town was 12 910 in 2000. Each year, the population
balandron [24]

The population in the year 2020 is 4628

<h3>How to determine the population?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Initial, a = 12910

Rate, r = 5%

Since the population decreases, then we make use of an exponential decay function.

This is represented as:

f(n) = a * (1 - r)^n

So, we have:

f(n) = 12910 * (1 - 5%)^n

Evaluate the difference

f(n) = 12910 * 0.95^n

2020 is 20 years from 2000.

So, we have:

f(20) = 12910 * 0.95^20

Evaluate

f(20) = 4628

Hence, the population in the year 2020 is 4628
