Answer:
Option A
Step-by-step explanation:
The complete question is attached here
The rate of increase of bacterial population be K
As we know

where Y is the final population. In this case it is 1000
K is the rate of increase of population i.e 3 times per hour
T is the time in hours
Y0 is the initial population = 5
Substituting the given values, we get -

Taking log on both sides, we get -
ln
= ln 

T = 2.084 hours
hence, option A is correct
A 1.5 standard deviation above the mean is
np + 1.5 <span>√(np(1-p))
We are given with
np = 200
p = 200/n
The standard deviation is
</span><span>√200(1-200/n))
Substituting
200 + 1.5 </span>√200(1-200/n))
By inspection, if the value of n is 200, then the radical will result to the value of 1. Only by increasing the value of n greater than 200 will the radical result to a value of less than 1 and decreasing the spread of the mean.
The answer is
the minimum is 201
the maximum is infinity
