Answer:

1.0 gram (rounded from .98)

Step-by-step explanation:

So, this is an exponential equation, which are of the form a*b^x where a is the initial amount and b is the decay (or growth) rate.  a is easy, 430, b though you have to make sure it is in decimal form.  So for percent form (like you have) just move the decimal place to the left two times, so 27.4% becomes .274.

Now we have the equation 430*.274^x which shows the scenario listed.  just plug in 19 for x.  

Do keep in mind if they were different units, like t decayed for 19 hours, you would have to convert those too.  Let me know if you need more of an explanation.

22. What is the percent of increase for a population<br> that changed from 438,000 to 561,000?
ra1l [238]

Answer: 28.08%

Step-by-step explanation: To find the percent increase, we divide the amount of change by the original number.

The amount of change is the difference between the two numbers which in this case is 561,000 - 438,000 and the original number is 438,000.

561,000 - 438,000 is 123,000 so we are left with 123,000 divided by 438,000 which is 0<em>.</em>2808. Finally, since our problem is asking us for a percent, we write 0<em>.</em>2808 as a percent by moving the decimal point two places to the right to get 28.08%.

So when the population changes from 438,000 to 561,000, it has increased by 28.08%.

In general, the probability that a blood donor has Type A blood is 0.40.Consider 8 randomly chosen blood donors, what is the pro
postnew [5]

Answer:

The probability that more than half of them have Type A blood in the sample of 8 randomly chosen donors is P(X>4)=0.1738.

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be modeled as a binomial random variable with n=8 and p=0.4.

The probability that k individuals in the sample have Type A blood can be calculated as:

P(x=k) = \dbinom{n}{k} p^{k}(1-p)^{n-k}\\\\\\P(x=k) = \dbinom{8}{k} 0.4^{k} 0.6^{8-k}\\\\\\

Then, we can calculate the probability that more than 8/2=4 have Type A blood as:

P(X>4)=P(X=5)+P(X=6)+P(X=7)+P(X=8)\\\\\\P(x=5) = \dbinom{8}{5} p^{5}(1-p)^{3}=56*0.0102*0.216=0.1239\\\\\\P(x=6) = \dbinom{8}{6} p^{6}(1-p)^{2}=28*0.0041*0.36=0.0413\\\\\\P(x=7) = \dbinom{8}{7} p^{7}(1-p)^{1}=8*0.0016*0.6=0.0079\\\\\\P(x=8) = \dbinom{8}{8} p^{8}(1-p)^{0}=1*0.0007*1=0.0007\\\\\\\\P(X>4)=0.1239+0.0413+0.0079+0.0007=0.1738
