Questions 24-25. In 1963, postage was 5 cents per ounce. In 1981, postage was 18 cents per ounce.
If the trend had continued through to 2015, what would the postage per ounce be?
(round to the nearest central

The answer posted "42.55" is incorrect.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The postage per ounce would be of $2.02.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential model:

The postage, in t years after 1963, follows the following format:

[tex]P(t) = P(0)(1+r)^t[/tex]

In which P(0) is the initial value and r is the growth rate, as a decimal.

In 1963, postage was 5 cents per ounce.

This means that [tex]P(0) = 5[/tex]

So

[tex]P(t) = P(0)(1+r)^t[/tex]

[tex]P(t) = 5(1+r)^t[/tex]

In 1981, postage was 18 cents per ounce.

This means that [tex]P(1981 - 1963) = P(18) = 18[/tex]. We use this to find r. So

[tex]P(t) = 5(1+r)^t[/tex]

[tex]18 = 5(1+r)^{18}[/tex]

[tex](1+r)^{18} = \frac{18}{5}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt[18]{(1+r)^{18}} = \sqrt[18]{3.6}[/tex]

[tex]1 + r = (3.6)^{\frac{1}{18}}[/tex]

[tex]1 + r = 1.0738[/tex]

So

[tex]P(t) = 5(1.0738)^t[/tex]

If the trend had continued through to 2015, what would the postage per ounce be?

2015 - 1963 = 52, so this is P(52).

[tex]P(52) = 5(1.0738)^{52} = 202[/tex]

202 cents, so $2.02.

Prove that the square of an odd number is always 1 more than a multiple of 4

Answers

Answer:

By these examples you are able to see that the square of an odd number is always 1 more than a multiple of 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

For examples,

Let's consider squares of 3, 11, 25, 37 and 131.

[tex] {3}^{2} = 9[/tex]

8 is a multiple of 4, and 9 is more than 8.

[tex] {11}^{2} = 121[/tex]

120 is a multiple of 4 and 121 is one more than it.

[tex] {25}^{2} = 625[/tex]

624 is a multiple of 4 and 625 is one more than it.

[tex] {37}^{2} = 1369[/tex]

1368 is a multiple of 4 and 1369 is one more than 1368.

[tex] {131}^{2} = 17161[/tex]

17160 is a multiple of 4.

[tex]\angle DBA \cong \angle DBC[/tex]

[tex]BD = BD[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]\triangle ABD \cong \triangle CBD[/tex]

Required

The congruent segments by CPCTC

From the question, we have:

[tex]\angle ADB \cong \angle CDB[/tex] --- given

[tex]\angle DBA \cong \angle DBC[/tex] --- given

Both triangles share a common side (length BD);

So, we have:

Answers

Answer:

[tex]P(At\ least\ one\ girl) = 0.875[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]n = 3[/tex]

[tex]B \to boys[/tex]

[tex]G \to girls[/tex]

[tex]P(G) = P(B) = 0.5[/tex] --- equal probability

See comment for complete question

Required:

[tex]P(At\ least\ one\ girl)[/tex]

To do this, we make use of complement rule:

[tex]P(At\ least\ one\ girl) = 1 - P(No\ girl)[/tex]

The event that there is no girl out of the 3 children is: B B B

And the probability is:

[tex]P(No\ Girl) = P(B) * P(B) * P(B)[/tex]

[tex]P(No\ Girl) = 0.5*0.5*0.5[/tex]

[tex]P(No\ Girl) = 0.125[/tex]

So:

[tex]P(At\ least\ one\ girl) = 1 - P(No\ girl)[/tex]

[tex]P(At\ least\ one\ girl) = 1 - 0.125[/tex]

At a local community college, 57% of students who enter the college as freshmen go on to graduate. Five freshmen are randomly selected.

b. What is the probability that at most four will graduate from the local community college? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 4 decimal places.)
c. What is the expected number that will graduate? (Round your final answer to 2 decimal places)

Answers

Answer:

a) 0.0147 = 1.47% probability that none of them graduates from the local community college.

b) 0.9398 = 93.98% probability that at most four will graduate from the local community college.

c) The expected number that will graduate is 2.85.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each student, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they will graduate, or they will not. The probability of a student graduating is independent of any other student graduating, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

57% of students who enter the college as freshmen go on to graduate.

This means that [tex]p = 0.57[/tex]

Five freshmen are randomly selected.

This means that [tex]n = 5[/tex]

a. What is the probability that none of them graduates from the local community college?

This is P(X = 0). So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{5,0}.(0.57)^{0}.(0.43)^{5} = 0.0147[/tex]

0.0147 = 1.47% probability that none of them graduates from the local community college.

b. What is the probability that at most four will graduate from the local community college?

This is:

[tex]P(X \leq 4) = 1 - P(X = 5)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 5) = C_{5,5}.(0.57)^{5}.(0.43)^{0} = 0.0602[/tex]

So

[tex]P(X \leq 4) = 1 - P(X = 5) = 1 - 0.0602 = 0.9398[/tex]

0.9398 = 93.98% probability that at most four will graduate from the local community college.

c. What is the expected number that will graduate?

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

[tex]E(X) = np[/tex]

In this question:

[tex]E(X) = 5*0.57 = 2.85[/tex]

The expected number that will graduate is 2.85.

A town has a current population of 4,000. The population increased 4 percent per year for the past four years, Emergency response professionals
make up 3 percent of the town's population.
Part A
Write a function that represents the population (p) of the town in terms of the number of years (1) for the last four years.

Answers

Answer:

p=c(1+r)^t so the population will be 4679.43424 or rounded to 4679

Step-by-step explanation:

p=c(1+r)^t

p=4,000(1+.04)^t

p=4,000(1.04)^t

p=4,000(1.04)^4

p=4679.43424

p= the population you are solving for

c= the initial amount of the population

(1+r)= the rate of change

t= the period of time

The exponential equation that represents the population of the town in terms of the number of years : [tex]p=4000 (1+0.4)^{t}[/tex]

What is an exponential equation?

An exponential equation is an equation with exponents where the exponent (or) a part of the exponent is a variable.

It is similar to the amount received after investing a certain amount compounded annually.

Given,

Initial population = 4000

Rate of increase = 4%

Let current population be p.

Let number of years passed be t.

The exponential equation will be: [tex]p=4000 (1+0.4)^{t}[/tex]

(The population of the town has grown exponentially. This means that:

Initial population = 4000

Population in year I = 4000 + 4% of 4000 = 4000(1 + 0.4)

Population in year II = 4000 + 4% of 4000(1 + 0.4) = 4000(1 + 0.4)(1+0.4)

and this goes on.)

=============================================================

Explanation:

The five values are in the ratio 1:2:3:4:5 which scales up to 1x:2x:3x:4x:5x for some positive number x.

Add up the pieces of the second ratio and set that sum equal to 198. Then solve for x.

1x+2x+3x+4x+5x = 198

15x = 198

x = 198/15

Answer:

the operating characteristics have been solved below

Step-by-step explanation:

we have an average of 10 minutes per customers

μ = mean service rate = 60/10 = 6 customers in one hr

the average number of customers that are waiting in line

mean arrival λ = 2.5

μ = 6

[tex]Lq = \frac{2.5^{2} }{6(6-2.5)} \\[/tex]

we calculate the average number of customers that are in the system

we find the average time that a customer spends in waiting

[tex]Wq=\frac{0.2976}{2.5}[/tex]

= 0.1190 hours

when converted to minutes = 0.1190*60 = 7.1424 minutes
