Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) We would use the formula for exponential growth model which is expressed as

y = b(1 + r)^t

Where

y represents the population after t years.

t represents the number of years.

b represents the initial population.

r represents rate of growth.

From the information given,

b = 5655

r = 1.4% = 1.4/100 = 0.014

Therefore, the equation would be

y = 5655(1 + 0.014)^t

y = 5655(1.014)^t

b) in 2022, t = 2022 - 2010 = 12 years

y = 5655(1.014)^12

y = 6682

Solve for x: three fourths times x plus five fourths equals four times x

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

The value of x for the given expression is $\dfrac{5}{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The statement is , three fourths times x plus five fourths equals four times x

So, $\dfrac{3}{4}$ × x + $\dfrac{5}{4}$ = 4 × x

<u>Now, rearranging the equation</u>

i.e 4 x - $\dfrac{3}{4}$ × x = $\dfrac{5}{4}$

Or, 4 x - $\dfrac{3 x}{4}$ = $\dfrac{5}{4}$

Or, $\dfrac{16 x - 3 x}{4}$ = $\dfrac{5}{4}$

Or, $\dfrac{13 x}{4}$ = $\dfrac{5}{4}$

Or, 13 x = $\dfrac{5}{4}$ × 4

Or, 13 x = 5

∴ x = $\dfrac{5}{13}$

Hence, The value of x for the given expression is $\dfrac{5}{13}$ Answer

An entry level web developer's annual pay is $55,640 based on 52 weeks per year. Due to the economy, his company is having to cu

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

$Reduction = \$3300$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Pay\ for\ 52\ weeks = \$55,640$

Required

Determine the reduction when paid is reduced to 49 weeks

First, we need to determine the weekly pay

$Weekly\ Pay = \frac{\$55,640}{52}$

$Weekly\ Pay = \$1070$

Next, is to determine the pay for 49 weeks;

$Pay = Weekly\ Pay * 49$

$Pay = \$1070 * 49$

$Pay = \$52430$

Subtract the 49 week pay from 52 weeks pay to get the payment reduction;

$Reduction = \$55640 - \$52340$

$Reduction = \$3300$

The point guard of a basketball team has to make a decision about whether or not to shoot a three-point attempt or pass the ball

melamori03 [73]

the expected value for the 3 point shot = (3 * 0.30) + (0 * 0.70) = 0.90

the expected value for the 2 point shot = (2 * 0.48) + (0 * 0.52) = 0.96

the expected value for the 2 point shot is higher than the 3 point shot so he should pass the ball

In the Fall STA 2023 Beginning of the Semester Survey, students were asked how many parties they attended every week and how man

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

-95.78

Step-by-step explanation:

As the researcher decided to make the number of parties attended per week the explanatory variable, this would be variable x in the regression line, and of course, the variable y would be the number of text messages sent per day.

After constructing the linear regression equation, the researcher found that an approximate value $\hat y$ for the actual value of y could be represented by the line

$\hat y=64.96+25.41x$

Since this is an approximate value, it is not expected that it coincides with the actual value of y. We define then the residual for each value of x as the difference between the actual value of y and the approximation for the given x.

For the value x = 2 (the student attended 2 parties that week) the actual value of y is 20 (the student sent 20 text messages per day that week).

The approximate value of y would be according to the regression line

$\hat y(2)=64.96+25.41(2)=64.96+50.82=115.78$

Hence, the residual value for x=2 would be

$y_{real}-\hat y=20-115.78=-95.78$
