The population is increasing every year. so we use exponential growth function
Where 'a' is the initial population
r is the rate of increase
x is the years
y is the final population
In 2015, the population of a small town in Florida is 95
Initial population a= 95
r= 15%= 0.15
x = 2023 - 2015 = 8 years
Plug in all the values and find out y
y = 290.607
The population in 2023 is 291
Answer:
0.97
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a homeowner has two smoke detector alarms installed, one in the dining room (adjacent to the kitchen) and one in an upstairs bedroom (above the kitchen). If cooking produces smoke in the kitchen, the probability of setting off the dining room alarm (D) is .95. The probability of setting off the bedroom alarm (B) is .40.
Both alarms are independent of each other.
Probability for smoke detection=P(any one alarm rings)
=P(Kitchen alarm sets off)+P(bed room alarm sets off)-P(Both sets off)
Since both are independent
P(Both) =
Probability for smoke detection
= 0.95+0.40-0.38
=0.97
