Answer:

Initial population of Rabbit = 5 rabbit

After 2 months

Population of Rabbit = 10

After 4 months

population of rabbit = 20

Formula for growth is :

G = $G_{0}[1 + R]^n$ , where G is final population and $G_{0}$ is initial population, and R is growth rate.

1. 10 = 5 [1 +R]²

Dividing both sides by 5 , we get

2 = (1 + R)²

→ R + 1 = √2 ⇒ taking positive root of 2

→R = √2 -1

Amount of rabbit after 1 year = $20(1 + \sqrt2 -1)^8= 20 \times (\sqrt2)^8= 20 \times 2^4= 20 \times 16= 320$

The amount of rabbits after 1 year is $\boxed{635}$ .

Further explanation:

The terms of the geometric sequence can be written as,

$a,ar,a{r^2},a{r^3}$ , ..

Here, is the first term and is the common ratio.

If the first term and the second term is known then, the value of can be obtained.

Now, the value of any term can be easily obtained with the help of a and r.

Explanation:

The initial population of the rabbit is 5.

After two months the population of the rabbit is 10.

After four months the population of the rabbit is 20.

After six months the population of the rabbit is 40.

After eight months the population of the rabbit is 80.

After ten months the population of the rabbit is 160.

After twelve months the population of the rabbit is 320.

The series can be formed as,

$5,{\text{10, 20, 40, 80, 160, 320}}$

Now find the sum of all the population.

$\begin{aligned}{\text{Sum}} &= 5 + 10 + 20 + 40 + 80 + 160 + 320\\&= 685 \\\end{aligned}$

The amount of rabbits after 1 year is $\boxed{635}$ .

Player V and Player M have competed against each other many times. Historical data show that each player is equally likely to wi

Helen [10]

Answer:

0.46 (46%)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following data:

- Probability that player V wins the first set:

$p(1)=0.50$

(because the text says the two players are equally likely to win the first set)

- Probability that player V wins the 2nd set if he has won the 1st set:

$p(2|1)=0.60$

So, the probability that player V wins the first 2 sets is:

$p(12)=p(1)\cdot p(2|1)=(0.50)(0.60)=0.30$ (1)

Instead, the probability that player V loses the 2nd set if he has won the 1st set is 0.40 (=1-0.60), so

$p(2^c|1)=0.40$

So, the probabiity that player V winse the 1st set but loses the 2nd set is

$p(12^c)=p(1)\cdot p(2^c|1)=(0.50)(0.40)=0.20$ (2)

Also, we have:

- Probability that player V loses the 1st set:

$p(1^c)=0.50$

- Probability that she will lose the 2nd set in this case is 0.70, it means that the probability that she will win the 2nd set if she lost the 1st set is 0.30, so:

$p(2|1^c)=0.30$

So, the probability that she will lose the 1st set and win the 2nd set is:

$p(1^c2)=p(1^c)\cdot p(2|1^c)=(0.50)(0.30)=0.15$ (3)

Combined together (2) and (3), this means that the probability that player V wins exactly 1 set out of the first two sets is:

$p(1/2)=p(12^c)+p(1^c2)=0.20+0.15=0.35$ (4)

At this point, the probability that she will win the 3rd set is

$p(3)=0.45$

This means that the overall probability that she will win the 3rd set if she won exacty 1 of the first 2 sets is:

$p(1/2,3) = p(1/2)\cdot p(3)=(0.35)(0.45)=0.16$ (5)

So, the overall probability that player V will win a match against player M is the sum of (1) and (5):

$p(W)=p(12)+p(1/2,3)=0.30+0.16=0.46$

Enzo is studying the black bear population at a large national park.

Naddik [55]

Answer:

2,973

Step-by-step explanation:

The black bear population B(t), in the park is modeled by the following function:

$B(t) = 2500 \cdot 2^{0.01t}$

Where t is the time(in years) elapsed since the beginning of the study.

We want to determine the black bear population in 25 years time, t=25.

$B(25) = 2500 \cdot 2^{0.01*25}\\=2973.02\\\approx 2973$

There will be 2,973 black bears in 25 years time.
