A farmer estimates that he has 9,000 bees producing honey on his farm. The farmer becomes concerned when he realizes the populat

ion of bees seems to be decreasing steadily at a rate of 5% per year. If the number of bees in the population after x years is represented by f(x), which statements about the situation are true? Check all that apply. The function f(x) = 9,000(1.05)x represents the situation. The function f(x) = 9,000(0.95)x represents the situation. After 2 years, the farmer can estimate that there will be about 8,120 bees remaining. After 4 years, the farmer can estimate that there will be about 1,800 bees remaining. The domain values, in the context of the situation, are limited to whole numbers. The range values, in the context of the situation, are limited to whole numbers.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The function f(x) = 9,000(0.95)x represents the situation.

After 2 years, the farmer can estimate that there will be about 8,120 bees remaining.

The range values, in the context of the situation, are limited to whole numbers.

The answer to this question would be:
<span>The function f(x) = 9,000(0.95)x represents the situation.
After 2 years, the farmer can estimate that there will be about 8,120 bees remaining.
</span>
In this problem, there are 9,000 bees and the amount is decreased 5% each year. Decreased 5% would be same as become (100%-5%=)95% each year. Then the function should be like:
f(x)= 9,000 * 95%^ x= 9,000 * 0.95^x

If you put X=2 and X=4 the result would be: 
<span>f(2) = 9,000* (0.95)^2= 8122.5 (round up to tenth will be 8120)
</span>f(4) = 9,000* (0.95)^4= 7330.5

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

a) 0.00019923%

b) 47.28%

Step-by-step explanation:

a) To find the probability of all sockets in the sample being defective, we can do the following:

The first socket will be in a group where 5 of the 38 sockets are defective, so the probability is 5/38

The second socket will be in a group where 4 of the 37 sockets are defective, as the first one picked is already defective, so the probability is 4/37

Expanding this, we have that the probability of having all 5 sockets defective is: (5/38)*(4/37)*(3/36)*(2/35)*(1/34) = 0.0000019923 = 0.00019923%

b) Following the same logic of (a), the first socket have a chance of 33/38 of not being defective, as we will pick it from a group where 33 of the 38 sockets are not defective. The second socket will have a chance of 32/37, and so on.

The probability will be (33/38)*(32/37)*(31/36)*(30/35)*(29/34) = 0.4728 = 47.28%

• A researcher claims that less than 40% of U.S. cell phone owners use their phone for most of their online browsing. In a rando
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

We failed to reject H₀

Z > -1.645

-1.84 > -1.645

We failed to reject H₀

p > α

0.03 > 0.01

We do not have significant evidence at a 1% significance level to claim that less than 40% of U.S. cell phone owners use their phones for most of their online browsing.

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up hypotheses:

Null hypotheses = H₀: p = 0.40

Alternate hypotheses = H₁: p < 0.40

Determine the level of significance and Z-score:

Given level of significance = 1% = 0.01

Since it is a lower tailed test,

Z-score = -2.33 (lower tailed)

Determine type of test:

Since the alternate hypothesis states that less than 40% of U.S. cell phone owners use their phone for most of their online browsing, therefore we will use a lower tailed test.

Select the test statistic:  

Since the sample size is quite large (n > 30) therefore, we will use Z-distribution.

Set up decision rule:

Since it is a lower tailed test, using a Z statistic at a significance level of 1%

We Reject H₀ if Z < -1.645

We Reject H₀ if p ≤ α

Compute the test statistic:

$ Z =  \frac{\hat{p} - p}{ \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} }}  $

$ Z =  \frac{0.31 - 0.40}{ \sqrt{\frac{0.40(1-0.40)}{100} }}  $

$ Z =  \frac{- 0.09}{ 0.048989 }  $

Z = - 1.84

From the z-table, the p-value corresponding to the test statistic -1.84 is

p = 0.03288

Conclusion:

We failed to reject H₀

Z > -1.645

-1.84 > -1.645

We failed to reject H₀

p >  α

0.03 > 0.01

We do not have significant evidence at a 1% significance level to claim that less than 40% of U.S. cell phone owners use their phones for most of their online browsing.

adam and betty purchased a printer together for $258. If adam paid $18 less than twice betty, how much money did Adam pay for th
LenKa [72]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A = Adam, B = Betty

Adam and Betty purchased a printer together for $258.

This means we can say A + B = 258.

We are also told Adam paid $18 less than twice Betty.

You can write this as:

Adam = 2 x Betty - 18

A = 2B - 18

Substitute "A" into the A + B equation and you get:

A + B = 258

2B - 18 + B = 258

3B - 18 = 258

Add 18 to both sides.

3B = 258 + 18

3B = 276

Divide both sides by 3 to find B

B = 276/3 = 92 (This means Betty paid $92).

Since the total that they paid together was $258.

This means Adam pays the Total - How much Betty paid

Adam = 258 - 92 = $166

CL 6-131. Solve each system using the method of your choice.
shepuryov [24]

System 1: The solution is (x, y) = (-4, 5)

System 2:  The solution is (x, y) = (\frac{11}{3}, -3)

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>Given system of equations are:</u></em>

2x + 3y = 7 ------ eqn 1

-3x - 5y = -13 --------- eqn 2

We can solve by elimination method

Multiply eqn 1 by 3

6x + 9y = 21 ------ eqn 3

Multiply eqn 2 by 2

-6x - 10y = -26 ------- eqn 4

Add eqn 3 and eqn 4

6x + 9y -6x - 10y = 21 - 26

-y = -5

y = 5

Substitute y = 5 in eqn 1

2x + 3(5) = 7

2x + 15 = 7

2x = -8

x = -4

Thus the solution is (x, y) = (-4, 5)

<h3><em><u>Second system of equation is:</u></em></h3>

8 - y = 3x ------ eqn 1

2y + 3x = 5 ----- eqn 2

We can solve by susbtitution method

From given,

y = 8 - 3x ----- eqn 3

Substitute eqn 3 in eqn 2

2(8 - 3x) + 3x = 5

16 - 6x + 3x = 5

3x = 16 - 5

3x = 11

x = \frac{11}{3}

Substitute the above value of x in eqn 3

y = 8 - 3x

y = 8 - 3 \times \frac{11}{3}\\\\y = 8 - 11\\\\y = -3

Thus the solution is (x, y) = (\frac{11}{3}, -3)
