a population doubles in size every 15 years. assuming exponential growth, find the (a) annual growth rate (b) continuous growth rate

Answers

Answer 1

The annual growth rate is 4.73 %

The continuous growth rate is 4.62 %

What is exponential growth function ?

A process called exponential growth sees a rise in quantity over time. When a quantity's derivative, or instantaneous rate of change with respect to time, is proportionate to the quantity itself, this phenomenon takes place.

Let us assume:

The initial amount of 1, so results are 2.

Let x be the  percent in decimal form

Growth rate per year:

[tex]1(1+x)^{15} = 2[/tex]

Take ln on both the sides

[tex]ln((1+x)^{15}) = ln(2)[/tex]

15*ln(1+x) =0 .693

ln(x+1) = 0.693/15

ln(x+1) = 0.04621

Take anti ln on both the sides

x+1 = 1.0473

x = 1.0473 - 1

x = .0473

x =4.73 % annual growth rate

Continuous growth rate:

[tex]1*e^{15x} = 2[/tex]

[tex]ln(e^{15x}) = ln(2)[/tex]

15x*ln(e) = ln(2)

ln(e) = 1

15x =0.693

x =0 .693/15

x = .0462

x = 4.62 %

Answers

t-distribution in the bank or restaurant to get the customer arrival time is a b) normal distribution.

The t-distribution is defined by degrees of freedom. These are related to sample size. The t distribution is most useful when the sample size is small, the population standard deviation is unknown, or both. As the sample size increases, the t-distribution will become more normal.

The t distribution is the continuous probability distribution of z scores when the estimated standard deviation is used in the denominator instead of the true standard deviation. The purpose of the t-test is to compare a specific characteristic that describes the groups, and the means will be representative of the populations that are normally distributed.

Answers

The correct answer is b that is the probability that the mean of their test scores is greater than 78 is 0.0008.

What is Probability?

The field of mathematics known as probability deals with numerical representations of the likelihood that an event will occur or that a statement is true. An event's probability is a number that lies between 0 and 1, where, roughly speaking, 0 denotes the event's impossibility and 1 denotes certainty. The probability is calculated on dividing the total number of possible outcomes by the number of possible ways the event could occur. Probability and odds are two distinct ideas where odds are calculated by dividing the likelihood of an event by the likelihood that it won't.

mean, μ = 73
standard deviation σ =7.8

η = 24

P (X*=78)

P( Z>3.1403)

Hence, the probability that the mean of their test scores is greater than 78 is 0.0008.

The percentage of 39/100 can be written as 39% as given in the question.

What is meant by percentage?

A percentage is a figure or ratio stated as a fraction of 100. The abbreviations "pct.", "pct," and "pct" are also used. A% is a dimensionless (pure) number with no unit of measurement.

The word "percent" comes from the Latin per centum, which means "hundred" or "by the hundredth." The symbol for "percent" emerged gradually from the Italian expression per cento. The "cento" symbol was developed from two circles divided by a horizontal line.

As money denominations expanded in the Middle Ages, computations with a denominator of 100 were increasingly prevalent, to the point where it became normal for mathematics texts to incorporate such computations from the late 15th to the early 16th centuries

B.) The total cost to produce n 3000 toys is S
C.) With $32500, a total of toys can be produced.

Answers

Equation is C=25n + 2500 And The total cost to produce 3000 toys is $77,500 And With $32500, a total of 1200 toys can be produced

A linear equation is what, exactly?

An algebraic equation with only a constant and a first-order (linear) term, such as y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, is known as a linear equation.

A) Lets have linear equation y=mx+b,

C (total cost) = y and n (number of toys) =x.

The original development cost plus the production cost of each toy would equal the overall cost of creating n toys.

Because m is multiplied by n, the number of toys, the cost to produce a toy will equal m.

Due to the fact that b is a constant and its value is unaffected by the quantity of toys, it will always equal the development cost.

Therefore, C=25n + 2500

B) by above, equation put n=1750

C= 25(3000) + 2500

C= $77,500

C) Now, again by same equation, but C instead of n.

=> 32500= 25n +2500

=> 30000=25n

=> n = 1200

In the given question, in 2006, 68.1 million people subscribed to cable television. in 2013, that number had decreased to 57.1 million.

We have to find the percent decrease in the number of cable TV subscribers from 2006 to 2013.

The number of subscriber in 2006 is 68.1 million.

The number of subscriber in 2013 is 57.1 million.

Then the percent decrease in the number of cable tv subscribers from 2006 to 2013 is

Percent decrease in the number of cable TV subscribers = (subscriber in 2006 - subscriber in 2006)/subscriber in 2006 *100

Percent decrease in the number of cable TV subscribers = (61.4-50.4)/61.4 *100

Percent decrease in the number of cable TV subscribers = 11/61.4 *100

Percent decrease in the number of cable TV subscribers = 0.1792*100

If two quantities have same units, they will be comprised of the same basic physical quantities and hence their dimensions will be same. Same dimensions do not represent the same physical quantity. For example, The kinetic energy and the potential energy are measured in the same units but they possess different physical quantities.

What is dimensions?

The minimal set of coordinates required to specify any point within a mathematical space is known as the dimension of the space in physics and mathematics. As a result, a line has a dimension of one because a point on it can be specified by a single coordinate, such as the point at 5 on a number line.

Two quantities with the same units will be made up of the same fundamental physical quantities, resulting in identical dimensions. The same physical quantity does not have the same dimensions.

Answers

The solution of the system of equations is given as follows:

x = 20 -> 20 body sprays.y = 20 -> 20 shower gels.

How to obtain the amounts with the system of equations?


The variables of the system of equations are given as follows:

Variable x: number of body sprays in the box.Variable y: number of shower gels in the box.

Each shipping box must contain 40 items, hence:

x + y = 40.

The box weighs 400 ounces, hence, considering the weight of each item, we have that:

8x + 12y = 400.

From the first equation, we have that:

x = 40 - y.

Then the number of shower gels is obtained as follows:

8(40 - y) + 12y = 400

4y = 80

y = 80/4

y = 20.

The number of body sprays is of:

x = 40 - 20 = 20.
