Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

2950 [Starting from 2,000 bacteria.]

Step-by-step explanation:

400/8 = 50

Bacteria grown/time = bacteria per hour

19x50 = 950

time x bacteria per hour = bacteria grown

2000 + 950

bacteria started + bacteria grown

The distribution of blood cholesterol level in the

qaws [65]

Answer: A. Mean of sampling means $=\mu=168\ Mg/dl$

Standard deviation of sampling means = $2.86\ mg/dl$

B. The probability that your sample has mean less than 165 is 0.1492 .

Given : The distribution of blood cholesterol level in the

population of young men aged 20 to 34 years is close to normal with

mean $\mu= 168$ Mg/dl and standard deviation $\sigma= 35$ mg/dl.

Sample size : n= 150

Let $\overline{x}$ sample mean values.

A. The mean and the standard deviation of the distribution of the sampling means would be :

Mean of sampling means = $\mu=168\ Mg/dl$

Standard deviation of sampling means = $\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}=\dfrac{35}{\sqrt{150}}$

$=\dfrac{35}{12.2474487}\\\\=2.85773803649\approx2.86\ mg/dl$

The probability that your sample has mean less than 165 would be

$P(\overline{x}$

Hence , the probability that your sample has mean less than 165 is 0.1492 .

The 3rd term of a geometric sequence is -1/3 and the 8th term is 81. what is the 11th term?

shepuryov [24]

Answer: $t_{11}=-2187$

Step-by-step explanation:

$t_{3}=-1/3$

That is :

$ar^{2} = -1/3$ ................. equation 1

Also

$t_{8}=81$

that is

$ar^{7}=81$ ................. equation 2

divide equation 2 by equation 1 , that is

$\frac{ar^{7}}{ar^{2}} = 81 / -1/3$

$r^{5}=$ $81$ x $-3/1$

$r^{5}= -243$

find the fifth root of both sides

$r = -3$

substitute $r = -3$ , into equation 1 to find a , that is

$a(-3^{2})= -1/3$

$9a = -1/3$

multiply through by 3

$27a = -1$

$a =- 1/27$

To find the 11th term , the formula for the 11th term is given as :

$t_{11}=ar^{10}$

$t_{11}= -1/27(-3^{10})$

$t_{11}=-2187$
