brainly Chase has been playing a game where he can create towns and help his empire expand. Each town he has allows him to creat

e 1.13 times as many villagers as he had in the one before. The game gave Chase 4 villagers to start with. Explain to Chase how to create an equation to predict the number of villagers in any specific town. Then show how to use your equation to solve for the number of villagers he can create to live in his 17th town.

Answer:

U_n=4 X 1.13^{n-1}

U_{17}=28

Step-by-step explanation:

Since each town he has allows him to create 1.13 times as many villagers as he had in the one before.

The population of the next village will be a multiplication of the population of the previous village by 1.13.

This forms a sequence in which the next term is obtained by multiplication of the previous term by a constant. This type of sequence us called a Geometric Sequence and the constant is called the Common ratio.

For any number of terms, the nth term of a Geometric Progression is determined using the formula:

U_n=ar^{n-1}

Where a= First Term

r= common ratio

n= number of terms

The game gave Chase 4 villagers to start with.

Therefore, his first term a=4

The common ratio, r= 1.13

To predict the number of villagers in any specific town, we use the formula:

U_n=4 X 1.13^{n-1}

In the 17th town, i.e. n=17

The number of villagers that can be created will be found by substituting n=17 into the formula above.

U_{17}=4 X 1.13^{17-1}

=4 X 1.13^{16}

=28.27

Since number of villagers cannot be fractional, the number of villagers he can create to live in the 17th village is 28.

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Up, rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise, down and right, rotate 90 derees clockwise, left

Step-by-step explanation:

The motion of the shape are

1) The shape is moved up from the initial position

2) The shape is then rotated 90 degrees in the reverse direction of the motion of the clock

3) The shape then moves two motion of coming down and moving right in one step

4) The shape is then rotated 90 degrees in the clockwise direction

5) In the final step, the shape is moved left.

A quality control manager at an auto plant measures the paint thickness on newly painted cars. A certain part that they paint ha
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

78.88% probability that the mean thickness in the sample of 100 points is within 0.1 mm of the target value

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 2, \sigma = 0.8, n = 100, s = \frac{0.8}{\sqrt{100}} = 0.08

What is the probability that the mean thickness in the sample of 100 points is within 0.1 mm of the target value?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 2 + 0.1 = 2.1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 2 - 0.1 = 1.9. So

X = 2.1

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{2.1 - 2}{0.08}

Z = 1.25

Z = 1.25 has a pvalue of 0.8944

X = 1.9

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{1.9 - 2}{0.08}

Z = -1.25

Z = -1.25 has a pvalue of 0.1056

0.8944 - 0.1056 = 0.7888

78.88% probability that the mean thickness in the sample of 100 points is within 0.1 mm of the target value

I will give brainliest to the best answer to this question: Each year, the Department of Water Works measures the chloride conce
Maslowich

Answer:

The total change that will likely occur in 2 years is =-3\frac{2}{3} mg/L        

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The first year, they found the chloride concentration changed by -1\frac{3}{5} mg/L .

It is estimated that the chloride concentration will change -2\frac{1}{15} mg/L the next year.

To find : What is the total change that will likely occur in 2 years?

Solution :

The chloride concentration changed by -1\frac{3}{5}=-\farc{8}{5} mg/L in first year.

The chloride concentration will change -2\frac{1}{15}=-\frac{31}{15} mg/L the next year.

The total change that will likely occur in 2 years is

=-\frac{8}{5}+(-\frac{31}{15})

=\frac{-24-31}{15}

=\frac{-55}{15}

=\frac{-11}{3}

In a mixed fraction - =-3\frac{2}{3} mg/L

Solve for w. 5w + 9z = 2z + 3w w = w equals negative StartFraction 7 Over 2 EndFraction z.Z w = w equals negative StartFraction
TEA [102]

Answer:

w = -7z/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve for w in terms of z.

The equation given is:

5w + 9z = 2z + 3w

Collect like terms:

5w - 3w = 2z - 9z

2w = -7z

w = -7z/2

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer: $0.51

Step-by-step explanation:

12/100 of $4.25 = $0.51

Amount payable plus sales tax for a 6- pack of soda will now be $4.25 + $0.51 = $4.76
