In 2012, Indonesia experienced an intense earthquake with a magnitude of 8.6 on the Richter scale. In 1952, Uganda experienced a

n earthquake that measured 6.5 on the Richter scale. Compare the intensities of the two earthquakes. Use a logarithmic model to solve. Round to the nearest whole number.

Answer:

The intensity of the 2012 earthquake was about 126 times the intensity of the 1952 earthquake.

Step-by-step explanation:

To compare the intensities, we first need to convert the magnitudes to intensities using the log formula. Then we will set up a ratio to compare the intensities.

Convert the magnitudes to intensities and convert to exponential form.

R=logI

2012 earthquake:

8.6I=logI=108.6

1952 earthquake:

6.5I=logI=106.5

Form a ratio of the intensities.

intensity for 2012intensity for 1952

Substitute in the values and divide by subtracting the exponents to find

108.6106.5102.1≈126.

The intensity of the 2012 earthquake was about 126 times the intensity of the 1952 earthquake.

Your answer:

The intensity of the 1952 earthquake was about 110 times the intensity of the 2012 earthquake.

Q # ..18 I need your help
andriy [413]

Answer: y = -5x - 3.


Explanation:


When you know the slope and the y-intercept you can directly write the slope-intercept equation of the line.


The slope-intercept equation of the line has the form: y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.


Here you know m = -5 and b =  -3, hence you just have to substitute those values in the general slope-intercept form, which is:

  • y = -5x - 3.

That equation represents the line, which means tha every point in the line will be an ordered pair of the function. For example:


  x            y = -5x - 3

- 10          -5(-10) - 3 = 50 - 3 = 47

  0            0 - 3 = - 3 (this is the y-intercept)

10            -5(10) - 3 = - 50 - 3 = - 53

You own a company that employs three salespeople, Quentin, Michael and Bubba. Quentin makes 30% of the sales, Michael 45%, and B
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

Michael

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the table below:

The probability of selecting a sale that was made by Quentin is .30, by Michael is .45 and by Bubba is .25.

Since Quentin completes paperwork 90% of the time, he doesn't complete paperwork 10% of the time, following this reasoning we can say that Michael doesn't complete paperwork 20% of the time and Bubba doesn't complete paperwork 15% of the time.

The probability of selecting a file and that it belongs to Quentin AND is incomplete is:

(Probability of selecting a Quentin's file) x (Probability is a Quentin incomplete file) = (0.30)(0.10) = 0.03

Using this same method we have that the probability that it belongs to Michael and is incomplete is (.45)(.20) = 0.09

That it belongs to Bubba and it's incomplete is (0.25)(0.15) = 0.037

The highest of these probabilities is the one that corresponds to Michael: 0.09, therefore he is the most likely culprit.
