Answer:

f(0) = 243 . . . cats at the start

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential function tells you the number of cats after t years is ...

f(t) = 243(1/3)^t

When t=0, the exponential factor is 1, so the value of the function is the multiplying constant.

f(0) = 243

This means there were 243 stray cats in town when the animal control program started.

Identify the diameter of the circular base created by folding the figure into a right cone. HELP ASAP PLEASE!!

Akimi4 [234]

let's notice something, we have a circle with a radius of 12 and one 90° sector is cut off, so only three 90° sectors of the circle are left shaded, so namely the cone will be using 3/4 of that circle.

think of it as, this shaded area is some piece of paper, and you need to pull it upwards and have the cutoff edges meet, and when that happens, you'll end up with a cone-shaped paper cup, and pour in some punch.

now, once we have pulled up the center of the circle to make our paper cup, there will be a circular base, its diameter not going to be 24, it'll be less, but whatever that base is, we know that is going to have the same circumference as those in the shaded area. Well, what is the circumference of that shaded area?

$\bf \textit{circumference of a circle}\\\\ C=2\pi r~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ r=12 \end{cases}\implies C=2\pi 12\implies C=24\pi \implies \stackrel{\textit{three quarters of it}}{24\pi \cdot \cfrac{3}{4}} \\\\\\ 6\pi \cdot 3\implies 18\pi$

well then, the circumference of that circle at the bottom will be 18π, so, what is the diameter of a circle with a circumferenc of 18π?

$\bf \textit{circumference of a circle}\\\\ C=2\pi r~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ C=18\pi \end{cases}\implies 18\pi =2\pi r\implies \cfrac{18\pi }{2\pi }=r\implies 9=r \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill \stackrel{\textit{diameter is twice the radius}}{d=18}~\hfill$

If the critical z-value for a hypothesis test... If the critical z-value for a hypothesis test equals 2.45, what value of the te

schepotkina [342]

Answer: z score = 0.00714

Step-by-step explanation: the value of test statistics is gotten using the standard normal distribution table.

Z= 2.45 has area to the left (z<2.45) and area to the right (z>2.45).

Level of significance α is the probability of committing a type 1 error. The area under the distribution is known as the rejection region and it is the area towards the right of the distribution.

The table I'm using is towards the left of the distribution.

But z>2.45 + z<2.45 = 1

z> 2.45 = 1 - z<2.45

But z < 2.45 = 0.99286

z > 2.45 = 1 - 0.99286

z >2.45 = 0.00714

Hence the test statistics that would produce the least type 1 error is 0.00714
