A scientist running an experiment starts with 100 bacteria cells. These bacteria double their population every 15 hours. Find ho

w long it takes for the bacteria cells to increase to 300. Use the formula , where is the original number of bacteria cells, is the number after t hours, and d is the time taken to double the number. It takes hours for the number of bacteria to increase to 300.

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: 23.77 hours

<h2>Why?</h2>

Total(t)=Start*2^\frac{t}{15}

Where:

Total(t) is equal to the amount for a determined time (in hours)

<em>Start</em> is the original amount

<em>t </em>is the time in hours.

For example, it's known from the statement that the bacteria double their population every 15 hours, so it can be written like this:

Total(15)=100*2^\frac{15}{15}=100*2^{1}=100*2=200

To calculate how long it takes for the bacteria cells to increase to 300, we should do the following calculation:

300=100*2^{\frac{t}{15} } } \\\frac{300}{100}=2^{\frac{t}{15} } }\\log(3)=log(2^{\frac{t}{15} })\\\\\\log(3)=\frac{t}{15}*log2\\t=\frac{log(3)}{log(2)} *15=23.77

So, to know if we are right, let's replace 23.77 h in the equation:

Total(t)=100*2^\frac{23.77}{15}=299.94

and 299.94≅300

Have a nice day!

Arturiano [62]

Complete Question:

On a number​ line, the coordinates of​ X, Y,​ Z, and W are −8​, −5​, 4​, and 6​, respectively. Find the lengths of the two segments below. Then tell whether they are congruent. \overline{XY} and \overline{ZW}

Answer:

\overline{XY} = 3

\overline{ZW} = 2

They are not congruent

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of segment XY:

Coordinate of X = -8

Coordinate of Y = -5

\overline{XY} = |-8 -(-5)| = |-8 + 5| = 3

Length of ZW:

Coordinate of Z = 4

Coordinate of W = 6

\overline{ZW} = |4 - 6| = 2

\overline{XY} ≠ \overline{ZW}, therefore, they are not congruent.

It cost Liam $6.10 to send 61 text messages. How much would it cost to send 185 text messages?
vredina [299]

Answer:

$18.50

Step-by-step explanation:

In the example before 61 messages = $6.10 or rounding to the tenths place 6.1. If you do the same with 185, you get 18.5 or 18.50

Write 0.00658 in standard form
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

0.00658 = 6.58 * 10^-3

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form is a way of writing numbers easily in powers of 10.

To write a number in standard form, we have to move the decimal point to the front of the first non zero number.

Depending on the position of the decimal point to the first non zero number, movement can be towards the right or towards the left. When we move towards the right, our power of 10 will be negative, when we move in the left direction, our power of 10 will be positive

In this question, we shall be moving towards the right. Thus, our power of 10 is negative. We shall be moving towards the right 3 three times

Thus our power would be 10^-3

Thus our standard form will be 6.58 * 10^-3

Kindly note that another pointer is, if the value of our number to be written in standard form is less than zero, then the standard form will come in negative powers of 10. If the value of the number is greater or equal to 1 at least, then then the standard form will be in positive powers of 10

The amount of time it takes for a student to complete a statistics quiz is uniformly distributed (or, given by a random variable
topjm [15]

Answer:

(A) 0.15625

(B) 0.1875

(C) Can't be computed

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the amount of time it takes for a student to complete a statistics quiz is uniformly distributed between 32 and 64 minutes.

Let X = Amount of time taken by student to complete a statistics quiz

So,   X ~ U(32 , 64)

The PDF of uniform distribution is given by;

    f(X) = \frac{1}{b-a} ,  a < X < b      where a = 32 and b = 64

The CDF of Uniform distribution is P(X <= x) = \frac{x-a}{b-a}

(A) Probability that student requires more than 59 minutes to complete the quiz = P(X > 59)

   P(X > 59) = 1 - P(X <= 59) = 1 - \frac{x-a}{b-a} = 1 - \frac{59-32}{64-32} = 1-\frac{27}{32} = 0.15625

(B) Probability that student completes the quiz in a time between 37 and 43 minutes = P(37 <= X <= 43)  = P(X <= 43) - P(X < 37)

    P(X <= 43) = \frac{43-32}{64-32} = \frac{11}{32} = 0.34375

    P(X < 37) = \frac{37-32}{64-32} = \frac{5}{32} = 0.15625

    P(37 <= X <= 43) = 0.34375 - 0.15625 = 0.1875

(C) Probability that student complete the quiz in exactly 44.74 minutes

     = P(X = 44.74)

The above probability can't be computed because this is a continuous distribution and it can't give point wise probability.
