Answer:

C. 270 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

-This is an exponential growth function which can be expressed using the formula:

P_t=P_oe^{rt}

Where:

  • P_t  is the size at time t.
  • P_o is the initial size
  • r is the growth rate
  • t is the time

Given the size at t=2 and at t=0, we substitute in the growth function to solve for r:

30=10e^{2r}\\\\3=e^{2r}\\\\r=\frac{In \ 3}{2}\\\\=0.54931

We use this calculated rate to determine the population at t=6

P_t=P_oe^{rt}\\\\=10e^{6\times \frac{In \ 3}{2}}\\\\=270\ grams

Hence, the bacteria's size at t=6 is 270 grams

Suppose we are interested in bidding on a piece of land and we know one other bidder is interested. The seller announced that th
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

The bid should be greater than $10,000 to get accepted by the seller. Let bid x be a continuous random variable that is uniformly distributed between

$10,000 and $15,000

The interval of the accepted bidding is [ {\rm{\$ 10,000 , \$ 15,000}], where b = $15000 and a = $10000.

The interval of the provided bidding is [$10,000,$12,000]. The probability is calculated as,

\begin{array}{c}\\P\left( {X{\rm{ < 12,000}}} \right){\rm{ = }}1 - P\left( {X > 12000} \right)\\\\ = 1 - \int\limits_{12000}^{15000} {\frac{1}{{15000 - 10000}}} dx\\\\ = 1 - \int\limits_{12000}^{15000} {\frac{1}{{5000}}} dx\\\\ = 1 - \frac{1}{{5000}}\left[ x \right]_{12000}^{15000}\\\end{array}

=1- \frac{[15000-12000]}{5000}\\\\=1-0.6\\\\=0.4

(b)  The interval of the accepted bidding is [$10,000,$15,000], where b = $15,000 and a =$10,000. The interval of the given bidding is [$10,000,$14,000].

\begin{array}{c}\\P\left( {X{\rm{ < 14,000}}} \right){\rm{ = }}1 - P\left( {X > 14000} \right)\\\\ = 1 - \int\limits_{14000}^{15000} {\frac{1}{{15000 - 10000}}} dx\\\\ = 1 - \int\limits_{14000}^{15000} {\frac{1}{{5000}}} dx\\\\ = 1 - \frac{1}{{5000}}\left[ x \right]_{14000}^{15000}\\\end{array} P(X14000)

=1- \frac{[15000-14000]}{5000}\\\\=1-0.2\\\\=0.8

(c)

The amount that the customer bid to maximize the probability that the customer is getting the property is calculated as,  

The interval of the accepted bidding is [$10,000,$15,000],

where b = $15,000 and a = $10,000. The interval of the given bidding is [$10,000,$15,000].

\begin{array}{c}\\f\left( {X = {\rm{15,000}}} \right){\rm{ = }}\frac{{{\rm{15000}} - {\rm{10000}}}}{{{\rm{15000}} - {\rm{10000}}}}\\\\{\rm{ = }}\frac{{{\rm{5000}}}}{{{\rm{5000}}}}\\\\{\rm{ = 1}}\\\end{array}

(d)  The amount that the customer bid to maximize the probability that the customer is getting the property is $15,000, set by the seller. Another customer is willing to buy the property at $16,000.The bidding less than $16,000 getting considered as the minimum amount to get the property is $10,000.

The bidding amount less than $16,000 considered by the customers as the minimum amount to get the property is $10,000, and greater than $16,000 will depend on how useful the property is for the customer.

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Construct a circle from point R with the radius RP

Step-by-step explanation:

To draw a tangent, the following steps are required

1) A line is drawn connecting the point to the center of the circle to which the tangent is to be drawn

2) The perpendicular bisector of the line constructed to get the mid point of the line

3) From the midpoint of the line found in the step above the compass is adjusted to reach the center of the given circle and a circular arc is drawn across the circumference of the given circle

4) The point of intersection of the arcs and the circumference of the given circle are the tangent points

Therefore, the correct option is to construct a circle from point R with the radius RP.

scZoUnD [109]
The answer for the completion exercise shown above is the second option (option b), which is:

 b. critical value.

 Therefore, you have that the text is: "<span>A critical value is a numerical quantity computed from the data of a sample..."
</span>
 This numeral quantity is used in statitics. Then, if the absolute value is greater that the quantity defined before, the null hypothesis must be rejected.
