Step-by-step explanation:
Arithmetic mean has become the most widely used measure of central tendency of data. ... That is why arithmetic mean is regarded as the ideal measure of central tendency. One demerit of arithmetic mean is that it is affected by the extreme value (of observed data)
If this is an exponent, it would be 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 x 4 in expanded form.
8.50x+100=308.25
subtract 100 from both sides
8.5x = 208.25
divide 8.5 from both sides
x= 24.5 hours worked
Answer: a) 
b) 25165824000
Step-by-step explanation:
The exponential equation for growth is given by :-
, where a= initial value , b =multiplicative growth factor and t = time.
Given : A bacteria culture contains 1500 bacteria initially and doubles every hour.
i.e. a = 1500 and b= 2
Then, the function N that models the number of bacteria after t hours will be :
To find , the number of bacteria after 24 hours , we put t= 24 in above equation , we get
Hence, the number of bacteria after 24 hours is 25165824000.
