Answer:
The base of the exponential function is 0.5 which is between 0 and 1 and thus this is an exponential decay function.
Step-by-step explanation:
Exponential equations are usually in the form;
where;
a is the initial value, that is the value of y when x is 0,
b is the growth or decay factor and also the base of the exponential function
If b>1, then it is an exponential growth function and the values of y keep getting bigger.
if 0<b<1, then it is an exponential decay function and the y values keep getting smaller as x increases.
In the function given;
The base of the exponential function is 0.5 which is between 0 and 1 and thus this is an exponential decay function.
In order to justify our prediction, we can simply obtain the graph of the function and check on how x and y vary.
From the attachment below we can see that the values of y become increasingly smaller as the values of x increases in magnitude which justifies our predictions.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
the mean is given by:
In our case this is:
side note: the main difference between sample mean and population mean is in the 'context'. However, the method to calculate them is the same.
By context I mean: if this the items are taken from some larger category for example: the ages of a few 'students' from a 'class'. Here 'students' are the sample from a larger set that is 'class'. The mean of the 'few students' will be called sample mean. In contrast, if we take the mean of the ages of the whole class then this is called population mean. (population mean == mean of the whole set)
In our case we aren't told exactly where these numbers come from, is this the whole set or a sample from it, the lack of context allows us to assume that the mean can either be population mean or sample mean. So we can safely use any symbol or
