Answer:

The answer is "10159"

Step-by-step explanation:

Every 3 hours the population doubles, with an initial population of 100.

\to P(t) = 100 \times  2^{\frac{t}{3}}

P(t)= \text{The population of bacteria}\\\\ t = \text{time in hours} \\

when t=20

\to p(20)= 100 \times 2^{\frac{20}{3}} \\

             = 100 \times 101.593667\\\\ =10159.3667

Answer:

the estimation of the size of the population after 20 hours is 10159

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the size of the population after 20, hours is shown below;

= 100  2^(20 by 3)

= 10159.36

If we divide 20 by 3 so it would give 6.66 that lies between 6 and 7

So the estimation of the size of the population after 20 hours is 10159

hence, the same is relevant

dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

\dfrac{1}{3}.

Step-by-step explanation:

In quadrilateral QRST, Q(-1,0), R(5,0), S(3.5,-6), T(-2.5,-6).

In quadrilateral Q'R'S'T', Q'(-1,2), R'(1,2), S'(0.5,0), T'(-1.5,0).

Distance formula:

D=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Using distance formula , we get

QR=\sqrt{(5-(-1))^2+(0-0)^2}=\sqrt{6^2}=6

Q'R'=\sqrt{(1-(-1))^2+(2-2)^2}=\sqrt{2^2}=2

Now,  

\text{Scale factor}=\dfrac{Q'R'}{QR}

\text{Scale factor}=\dfrac{2}{6}

\text{Scale factor}=\dfrac{1}{3}

Therefore the scale factor is \dfrac{1}{3}.

Estimate the unit rate to the nearest hundredth.<br><br> $1.19 per 12fl oz price of 1 fl oz
Korvikt [17]
To find the unit rate you need to divide the 1.19 by 12 so that the ounces would be the price per 1 ounce.
1.19/12 = .099 per ounce
Since we are talking about money your answer needs to be rounded to TWO decimals unless told otherwise.
Rounding .099 would be $ 0.10 per ounce

lukranit [14]

Answer:

Here we have given two catogaries as degree holder and non degree holder.

So here we have to test the hypothesis that,

H0 : p1 = p2 Vs H1 : p1 not= p2

where p1 is population proportion of degree holder.

p2 is population proportion of non degree holder.

Assume alpha = level of significance = 5% = 0.05

The test is two tailed.

Here test statistic follows standard normal distribution.

The test statistic is,

Z = (p1^ - p2^) / SE

where SE = sqrt[(p^*q^)/n1 + (p^*q^)/n2]

p1^ = x1/n1

p2^ = x2/n2

p^ = (x1+x2) / (n1+n2)

This we can done in TI_83 calculator.

steps :

STAT --> TESTS --> 6:2-PropZTest --> ENTER --> Input all the values --> select alternative "not= P2" --> ENTER --> Calculate --> ENTER

Test statistic Z = 1.60

P-value = 0.1090

P-value > alpha

Fail to reject H0 or accept H0 at 5% level of significance.

Conclusion : There is not sufficient evidence to say that  the percent of correct answers is significantly different between degree holders and non-degree holders.

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

1000-1.96\frac{2}{\sqrt{4}}=998.04    

1000+1.96\frac{2}{\sqrt{4}}=1001.96    

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:  

\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)  

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of \alpha=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.025,0,1)".And we see that z_{\alpha/2}=1.96

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

1000-1.96\frac{2}{\sqrt{4}}=998.04    

1000+1.96\frac{2}{\sqrt{4}}=1001.96
