Researchers recorded that a certain bacteria population declined from 200,000 to 900 in 18 hours. At this rate of decay,
how many bacteria was there at 10 hours? Round to the nearest whole number,

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

9,942 bacteria were there at 10 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation for population decay:

The equation for population decay, after t hours, 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.

Researchers recorded that a certain bacteria population declined from 200,000 to 900 in 18 hours.

This means that [tex]P(0) = 200000[/tex] and that when [tex]t = 18, P(t) = 900[/tex]. So we use this to find r.

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

[tex]900 = 200000(1-r)^{18}[/tex]

[tex](1-r)^{18} = \frac{900}{200000}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt[18]{(1-r)^{18}} = \sqrt[18]{\frac{900}{200000}}[/tex]

[tex]1 - r = (\frac{900}{200000})^{\frac{1}{18}}[/tex]

[tex]1 - r = 0.7407[/tex]

So

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

[tex]P(t) = 200000(0.7407)^t[/tex]

At this rate of decay, how many bacteria was there at 10 hours?

This is P(10). So

[tex]P(10) = 200000(0.7407)^{10} = 9941.5[/tex]

Rounding to the nearest whole number:

9,942 bacteria were there at 10 hours.

Jim, Dan, and David share some sweets in the ratio 6:2:1. Jim gets 25 more sweets than David. How many sweets are there altogether

Answers

Answer:

45 sweets.

Step-by-step explanation:

6:2:1

To solve how many Jim and Dan has I did 6 x n and 1 x n until the difference of the two numbers equaled 25.

6 x 5 = 30

1 x 5 = 5

30 - 5 = 25.

So, Jim as 30 candy and Dan has 1. How much does David have?

Just do the same thing but with 2 x n:

2 x 5 = 10.

Now add them together:

30 + 10 + 5 = 45.

Therefore, 45 sweets!

A bag contains 3 red balls and 1 blue ball. A second bag contains 1 red ball and 1 blue ball. A ball is randomly picked from each bag and is then placed in the other bag. What is the expected number of red balls in the first bag? (mean or expected value)

Answers

Answer:

"2.82" seems to be the correct solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know,

A bag (Bag A) contains,

Red balls = 3

Blue ball = 1

A second bag (Bag B) contains,

Red balls = 1

Blue ball = 1

Now,

⇒ P(Bag A, red ball) = [tex]P(A)\times P(r)\times P(r)[/tex]

On substituting the values, we get

⇒                                = [tex]\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{3}{4}\times \frac{2}{3}[/tex]

⇒                                = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Similarly,

Probability of second bag will be:

⇒  P(Bag B) = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

hence,

In the first bag (Bag A), the expected number of red balls will be:

⇒  [tex]E(n)=\Sigma P(n)\times n[/tex]

On substituting the values, we get

⇒           [tex]=3 (\frac{1}{4})+2(\frac{1}{8} )+4(\frac{1}{24} )+3(\frac{1}{12} )+3(\frac{4}{20} )+4(\frac{1}{20} )+2(\frac{3}{20} )+\frac{2}{20}[/tex]

⇒           [tex]= \frac{169}{60}[/tex]

⇒           [tex]=2.82[/tex]

Education reform is one of the most hotly debated subjects on both state and national policymakers’ list of socioeconomic topics. Consider a linear regression model that relates school expenditures and family background to student performance in Massachusetts using 224 school districts. The response variable is the mean score on the MCAS (Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System) exam given to 10th graders. Four predictor variables are used: (1) STR is the student-to-teacher ratio in %, (2) TSAL is the average teacher’s salary in $1,000s, (3) INC is the median household income in $1,000s, and (4) SGL is the percentage of single-parent households. A portion of the data is shown in the accompanying table.

Score STR(%) TSAL(in $1000) INC(in $1000) SGL(%)
227.0 19.00 44.01 48.89 4.70

Required:
a. For each explanatory variable, discuss whether it is likely to have a positive or negative causal effect on Score.
b. Find the sample regression equation. Are the signs of the slope coefficients as expected?
c. What is the predicted score if STR = 18, TSAL = 50, INC = 60, SGL = 5?

Rectangle QRST is dilated with the origin as the center of dilation to create rectangle Q'R'S'T'.

Which rule represents the dial toon applied to rectangle QRST to create triangle QRST

Answers

Answer:

Rule: dilation about the origin by a scale factor of 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for QRST and Q'R'S'T

Required

The dilation rule

First, we calculate the scale factor (k)

From the attachment, we have:

[tex]QR = 4[/tex]

[tex]Q'R' = 8[/tex]

k, is then calculated as:

[tex]k = \frac{Q'R'}{QR}[/tex]

[tex]k = \frac{8}{4}[/tex]

[tex]k =2[/tex]

Hence, QRST is dilated by a factor of 2

A random sample of 30 males with online dating profiles are recruited for a study about lying in online dating profiles. Each male's actual height is measured and compared to the height posted in their online profile. The difference between the online profile height and the actual height (profile- actual) for each male is computed. The mean difference in height is determined to be 0.57 inches with a standard deviation of 0.81 inches. Determine a 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean profile height and mean actual height of online daters.

Answers

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean profile height and mean actual height of online daters is between 0.27 and 0.87 inches.

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 = 30 - 1 = 29

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 29 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex]. So we have T = 2.0452

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.0452\frac{0.81}{\sqrt{30}} = 0.3[/tex]

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

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 0.57 - 0.3 = 0.27 inches.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 0.57 + 0.3 = 0.87 inches.

The 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean profile height and mean actual height of online daters is between 0.27 and 0.87 inches.

The Wall Street Journal Corporate Perceptions Study 2011 surveyed readers and asked how each rated the Quality of Management and the Reputation of the Company for over 250 world-wide corporations. Both the Quality of Management and the Reputation of the Company were rated on an Excellent, Good, and Fair categorical scale. Assume the sample data for 200 respondents below applies to this study.

Reputation of Company

Quality of management Excellent Good Fair
Excellent 40 25 5
Good 35 35 10
Fair 25 10 15

Required:
a. Use α = 0.05 level of significance and test for independence of the quality of management and the reputation of the company. What is the p-value and what is your conculsion??
b. If there is a dependence or association between the two ratings, discuss and use the probabilities to justify your answer.

Answers

Answer:

The calculated χ² =  17.0281    falls in the critical region χ² ≥  9.49  so we reject the null hypothesis that  the quality of management and the reputation of the company are independent and conclude quality of management and the reputation of the company are dependent

The p-value is 0 .001909. The result is significant at p < 0.05

Part b:

40 > 8.5

35> 7.5

25> 4

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Let the null and alternative hypothesis as

H0: the quality of management and the reputation of the company are independent

against the claim

Ha: the quality of management and the reputation of the company are dependent

2) The significance level alpha is set at 0.05

3) The test statistic under H0 is

χ²= ∑ (o - e)²/ e where O is the observed and e is the expected frequency

which has an approximate chi square distribution with ( 3-1) (3-1)=  4 d.f

4) Computations:

Under H0 ,

Observed       Expected E              χ²= ∑(O-e)²/e

40                      35.00                          0.71

25                      24.50                         0.01

5                         10.50                         2.88  

35                      40.00                         0.62

35                      28.0                          1.75

10                       12.00                           0.33  

25                      25.00                             0.00

10                        17.50                              3.21

15                       7.50                                 7.50  

∑                                                               17.0281

     

     

Column Totals 100 70 30   200  (Grand Total)

5) The critical region is χ² ≥ χ² (0.05)2 = 9.49

6) Conclusion:

The calculated χ² =  17.0281    falls in the critical region χ² ≥  9.49  so we reject the null hypothesis that  the quality of management and the reputation of the company are independent and conclude quality of management and the reputation of the company are dependent.

7) The p-value is 0 .001909. The result is significant at p < 0.05

The p- values tells that the variables are dependent.

Part b:

If we take the excellent row total = 70 and compare it with the excellent column total= 100

If we take the good row total = 70 and compare it with the good column total= 80

If we take the fair row total = 50 and compare it with the fair column total= 30

The two attributes are said to be associated if

Thus we see that ( where (A)(B) are row and columns totals and AB are the cell contents)

AB> (A)(B)/N  

40 > 1700/200

40 > 8.5

35> 1500/200

35> 7.5

25> 800/200

25> 4

and so on.

Hence they are positively associated

How much interest would $1,000 earn in one year at a rate of 6%, compounded annually? What would be the new balance?

Please, help me!

Answers

Answer:

The investment will generate $ 60 in interest, with which the new balance will be $ 1060.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how much interest would $ 1,000 earn in one year at a rate of 6%, compounded annually, and what would be the new balance, the following calculations must be performed:

1000 x (1 + 0.06 / 1) ^ 1x1 = X

1000 x 1.06 ^ 1 = X

1000 x 1.06 = X

1060 = X

Therefore, the investment will generate $ 60 in interest, with which the new balance will be $ 1060.

hope this helps and is right. p.s. i really need brainliest :)

if my answer is wrong then i am incredibly sorry!

The statement "The origin is a point anywhere along the x-axis" is False.

What is Origin?

Origin is referred to as the first point or the starting point from which we begin our calculations or measurements in mathematics, particularly in the subject of coordinate geometry. The 0 on a ruler is the point at which we begin taking measurements; as a result, it is referred regarded as the scale's origin.

As, The intersection of the x and y axes in a coordinate plane is where the origin is located.

Coordinates can be used to name any point on the coordinate plane.

The coordinates are where the origin is ( 0, 0 ).

So, the x- coordinate is 0 and y- coordinates is 0.

Hence, the given statement is False.
