Under a microscope, ms. kapinski studies a culture with bacteria. as the number of hours progresses, ms. kapinski sees that the

bacteria can be modeled by the function b(t)=1290(0.76)^t where b represents the number of bacteria t hours after ms. kapinski begins her study.
what does the value 0.76 represent in this situation? be sure to explain.
what does the value 1290 represent in this situation? be sure to explain.

the number of bacteria in a second study is modeled by the function b_2 (t)=1180(1.76)^t.

what does the value of 1180 represent in this situation?
what does the difference of 1290 and 1180 mean between the two studies?
what does the difference between 0.76 and 1.76 mean between the two studies?

Answer:

Study 1 Answers:

1) 0.76 represents the multiplier of the bacteria, in this case it is decreasing by 24% because the formula for exponential decay is 1 - r.

2) 1290 represents the initial value, or before the study began.

Study 2 Answers:

1) 1180 is the initial value, or before the study began.

2) Study 1 started with more bacteria

3) Study 1 is experiencing exponential decay, while study 2 is experiencing exponential growth

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential functions are in the form y=a(b)^x, where a is the initial value, b is the multiplier, and x represents inputs, such as hours after a bacteria study.

Any multiplier above 1.00 is experiencing exponential growth, meaning it grows gradually over time, and any multiplier below 1.00 is experiencing exponential decay, meaning it decreases in population over time.

Whoever gets it right gets brainlyess answer and it's worth 10 points
defon
There are 8 yellow and 24 blue. Our ratio from yellow to blue is 8:24.
To simplify this, we need to see if we can divide 8 and 24 by a common factor.
8 and 24 can be divided by 8, so let's do that.
8/8 = 1.
24/8 = 3.
Your new and simplified ratio is 1:3 from yellow to blue, but we're looking for blue to yellow. Flip the ratio.
3:1 is your ratio.
C.) is your correct answer.
I hope this helps!

Gerald bought 3 shirts for 8.40 each, 2 shirts for 12.89 each, and one shirt for 18.90. What was the average cost of the shirts?
Vanyuwa [196]
So first, you add all the numbers together

8.40*3=25.20
12.89*2=25.78
18.90*1=18.90
____________
$69.88

Divide the number of shirts: 6 by the total amount


69.88

A researcher compares the effectiveness of two different instructional methods for teaching electronics. A sample of 138 student
yan [13]

Answer:

The 98% confidence interval for the true difference between testing averages for students using Method 1 and students using Method 2 is (-8.04, 0.84).

Step-by-step explanation:

The (1 - <em>α</em>)% confidence interval for the difference between population means is:

CI=(\bar x_{1}-\bar x_{2})\pm z_{\alpha/2}\times \sqrt{\frac{\sigma^{2}_{1}}{n_{1}}+\frac{\sigma^{2}_{2}}{n_{2}}}

The information provided is as follows:

n_{1}= 138\\n_{2}=156\\\bar x_{1}=61\\\bar x_{2}=64.6\\\sigma_{1}=18.53\\\sigma_{2}=13.43

The critical value of <em>z</em> for 98% confidence level is,

z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.02/2}=2.326

Compute the 98% confidence interval for the true difference between testing averages for students using Method 1 and students using Method 2 as follows:

CI=(\bar x_{1}-\bar x_{2})\pm z_{\alpha/2}\times \sqrt{\frac{\sigma^{2}_{1}}{n_{1}}+\frac{\sigma^{2}_{2}}{n_{2}}}

     =(61-64.6)\pm 2.326\times\sqrt{\frac{(18.53)^{2}}{138}+\frac{(13.43)^{2}}{156}}\\\\=-3.6\pm 4.4404\\\\=(-8.0404, 0.8404)\\\\\approx (-8.04, 0.84)

Thus, the 98% confidence interval for the true difference between testing averages for students using Method 1 and students using Method 2 is (-8.04, 0.84).
