Answer:
<em>b. 5 + 17i</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let t=number of years since 1991.
Then
P(t)=147 e^(kt) ... in millions
P(0)=147 e^(0)=147
P(7)=147 e^(7k)=153
e^(7k)=(153/147)
take ln both sides
ln(e^(7k))=ln(153/147)
7k=0.0400 => k=0.005715
Year 2017=>t=2017-1991=26
P(26)=147e^(26*.005715)=170.55
Answer: in 2017, the projected population is 170.55 millions.

Answer:
'linear decreasing' best describes interval C on the graph shown.
Step-by-step explanation:
Note: <em>The missing graph is attached below. </em>
From the attached graph, it is easy to figure out that the interval C on the graph shown is showing a straight line. So the graph of the function would be linear.
Also on the interval C, the value of y is decreasing as the value of x increase. So, the slope of the straight line would be negative.
So the interval C indicates that the function is decreasing there.
Therefore, 'linear decreasing' best describes interval C on the graph shown.
Answer:
a
The estimate is 
b
Method B this is because the faulty breaks are less
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of microchips broken in method A is 
The number of faulty breaks of method A is 
The number of microchips broken in method B is 
The number of faulty breaks of method A is 
The proportion of the faulty breaks to the total breaks in method A is


The proportion of the faulty to the total breaks in method B is

For this estimation the standard error is

substituting values


The z-values of confidence coefficient of 0.95 from the z-table is

The difference between proportions of improperly broken microchips for the two breaking methods is mathematically represented as
![K = [p_1 - p_2 ] \pm z_{0.95} * SE](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K%20%3D%20%5Bp_1%20-%20p_2%20%5D%20%5Cpm%20z_%7B0.95%7D%20%2A%20SE)
substituting values
![K = [0.08 - 0.07 ] \pm 1.96 *0.0186](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K%20%3D%20%5B0.08%20-%200.07%20%5D%20%5Cpm%201.96%20%2A0.0186)

The interval of the difference between proportions of improperly broken microchips for the two breaking methods is
