b) How long will it take for the population to drop below 7 million people?

show you working.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) The population in 2020 will be of 7.14 million people.

b) It will take 9.23 years for the population to drop below 7 million people

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential equation for population decay:

The equation that models a population in exponential decay, after t years, is given by:

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

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

The total population of a European country is decreasing at a rate of 0.6% per year.

This means that [tex]r = 0.006[/tex]

In 2014, the population of the country was 7.4 million people.

This means that [tex]P(0) = 7.4[/tex]. Then

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

[tex]P(t) = 7.4(1-0.006)^t[/tex]

[tex]P(t) = 7.4(0.994)^t[/tex]

a) What is the population likely to be in 2020 if it decreases at the same rate?

2020 - 2014 = 6, so this is P(6).

[tex]P(6) = 7.4(0.994)^6 = 7.14[/tex]

The population in 2020 will be of 7.14 million people.

b) How long will it take for the population to drop below 7 million people?

t when P(t) = 7. So

[tex]P(t) = 7.4(0.994)^t[/tex]

[tex]7 = 7.4(0.994)^t[/tex]

[tex](0.994)^t = \frac{7}{7.4}[/tex]

[tex]\log{(0.994)^t} = \log{\frac{7}{7.4}}[/tex]

[tex]t\log{0.994} = \log{\frac{7}{7.4}}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{\log{\frac{7}{7.4}}}{\log{0.994}}[/tex]

[tex]t = 9.23[/tex]

It will take 9.23 years for the population to drop below 7 million people

in a random sample of 28 people, the mean commute time to work was 31.2 minutes and the standard deviation was 7.3 minutes. assume the population is normally distributed and use a t-distribution to construct a 99% confidence interval for the population mean u. What is the margin of error of u

Answers

Answer:

The margin of error of u is of 3.8.

The 99% confidence interval for the population mean u is between 27.4 minutes and 35 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 28 - 1 = 27

99% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 27 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.995[/tex]. So we have T = 2.7707

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.7707\frac{7.3}{\sqrt{28}} = 3.8[/tex]

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The margin of error of u is of 3.8.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 31.2 - 3.8 = 27.4 minutes

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 31.2 + 3.8 = 35 minutes

The 99% confidence interval for the population mean u is between 27.4 minutes and 35 minutes.

Suppose that diameters of a new species of apple have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 7.43cm and a standard deviation of 0.35cm. Using the empirical rule, what percentage of the apples have diameters that are between 7.08cm and 7.78cm

Answers

Answer:

Approximately 68% of the apples have diameters that are between 7.08cm and 7.78cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean of 7.43cm, standard deviation of 0.35cm.

What percentage of the apples have diameters that are between 7.08cm and 7.78cm?

7.43 - 0.35 = 7.08 cm.

7.43 + 0.35 = 7.778 cm.

Within 1 standard deviation of the mean, so approximately 68% of the apples have diameters that are between 7.08cm and 7.78cm.

A hotel spent $504 on new hair dryers. The hair dryers cost $8 each. The hotel has 6 floors with the same number of rooms on each floor. If every room gets a new hair dryer, how many hair dryers will be left over?

Answers

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:  6  11 10  48

spent $504

hair dryers cost $8 each

6 floors with the same number of rooms on each floor.

Money spent / hair dry cost  =  number of hair dryers bought

number of hair dryers   = number of floors  =  hair dryers per floor Plus any remainder

    504 /  8  =  63 hair dryers  

    63 / 6   =    10.5     so 10 rooms per floor = 60 hairs dryers with 3 left over

A random sample of items is selected from a population of size . What is the probability that the sample mean will exceed if the population mean is and the population standard deviation eq

Answers

Answer:

The probability is 1 subtracted by the p-value of [tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex], in which X is the value we want to find the probability of the sample mean exceeding, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the population mean, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Central Limit Theorem for the sample mean:

Sample of size n, and thus:

[tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s} = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

Probability of the sample mean exceeding a value:

The probability is 1 subtracted by the p-value of [tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex], in which X is the value we want to find the probability of the sample mean exceeding, [tex]\mu[/tex] is the population mean, [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

Answers

Answer:

y = - 4.5x + 120

75 = - 4.5x + 120

x = 10 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

To model the scenario described above, we use the linear equation model ;

Where ;

y = bx + c ; c = intercept ; b = slope ; y = altitude at time x

The initial altitude of the hot air Ballon here is the intercept = 120 meters

The descent rate = 4.5 m per minute is the slope ; since it is descent, then the slope will be negative as the altitude will reduce.

Hence, we have ;

y = - 4.5x + 120

Hence, the time altitude will be 75 cabnbe modeled as :

y = 75

75 = - 4.5x + 120

75 - 120 = - 4.5x

- 45 = - 4.5x

A box has dimensions of 4.0 cm by 8.5 cm by 2.0 cm. The volume of the box in mL is:

Answers

Answer: 68 mL

Step 1: Write volume formula

The formula for volume is often abbreviated into V=l×w×h. This stands for volume= length×width×height.

Step 2: Substitute numbers for answer in cm

To get the answer in cm, simply substitute the numbers into the equation. Then, you may simply multiple them to solve.
V=4.0 cm×8.5 cm×2.0 cm
V= 68 cm

Step 3: Add cubed symbol

Since this is referring to volume, you will need to add the cubed symbol to the end of your answer. This will appear as a number 3 above the cm on the right side.

Step 4: Convert to mL

This is a simple step once you understand the formula to convert. Luckily for us, cm cubed (cm3)= 1 mL. Because of this, the answer will remain as 68 mL

Based on the cumulative frequency histogram, determine the number of swimmers who swam between 200 and 249 yards. Determine the number of swimmers who swam between 150 and 199 yards. Determine the number of swimmers who took the swim test.

Answers

Answer:

[tex](a)\ 200 \to 249 =3[/tex]

[tex](b)\ 150 \to 199 = 0[/tex]

[tex](c)\ Total = 20[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for cumulative frequency histogram

Solving (a): Swimmers between 200yd and 249yd

To do this, we simply read the data from the 0 mark

From the histogram, we have:

[tex]0 \to 249 = 15[/tex]

and

[tex]0 \to 199 = 12[/tex]

So:

[tex]200 \to 249 = 0 \to 249 - 0 \to 199[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]200 \to 249 = 15-12[/tex]

[tex]200 \to 249 =3[/tex]

Solving (b): Swimmers between 150yd and 199yd

To do this, we simply read the data from the 0 mark

From the histogram, we have:

[tex]0 \to 149 = 12[/tex]

and

[tex]0 \to 199 = 12[/tex]

So:

[tex]150 \to 199 = 0 \to 199 - 0 \to 149[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]150 \to 199 = 12-12[/tex]

[tex]150 \to 199 = 0[/tex]

Solving (c): Total swimmers

To do this, we simply read the longest bar of the histogram

[tex]Longest = 20[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]Total = 20[/tex]
