Determine what type of model best fits the given situation: Every day, half a bacteria population dies.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a geometric sequence because each new term is a multiple (actually, "negative half of the previous term").

If the original population were Po, then the population after d days is

Answers

Answer:

Length of A=6

Breadth of A=24/6=4

Length of B=6

Breadth of B=12/6=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Total surface area: 36

Ratio is 2:1

So, 2x + 1x = 36

3x=36

x=36/3

x=12

2*12=24

1*12=12

So areas are 24 and 12 respectively

Now, we can say that the sides of the square will be same, 6 cm

6*6=36

so the length of both rectangles will be 6

Hence we can divide each area by 6 and find the breadth.

Length of A=6

Breadth of A=24/6=4

Length of B=6

Breadth of B=12/6=2

Hi! I'm just a bit confused on the vocabulary. What should be the null hypothesis? Thanks in advance!

A large company is being sued for gender discrimination because 20% of newly hired candidates are women when 40% of all applicants were women. You plan to use hypothesis testing to determine whether there is significant evidence that the company's hiring practices are discriminatory.

State the null and alternative hypotheses for the significance test.

Answers

Answer:

null hypothesis: 20% of the newly hired candidates are women.

alternative hypothesis: out of 100% of the workers , only 40% are women and you 60% are male.

The null hypothesis = 20% of candidates are females who applied.

The alternative hypothesis is that only 20% of this store is female, 80% is male.

Without multiplying, order the following products from least to greatest. 23* 2/2 23* 1/4 23* 13/5

Answers

Answer:

From least to greatest

23* 1/4, 23* 2/2, 23* 13/5

Explanation

In order to do this without multiplication, place the fractions in ascending order.

The denominators of these fractions have 20 as a common multiple.

2/2 • 10 = 20/20

1/4 • 5 = 5/20

13/5 • 4 = 52/20

From this it logically follows that the fractions in ascending order are:

1/4, 2/2, 13/5

Therefore the products in ascending order are:

23* 1/4, 23* 2/2, 23* 13/5

A convenience sample error was made in this design. This type of sampling only targets people with access to that television channel and is not a good representation of the population. Incorrect e. There are no potential areas of bias.

Answers

Answer:

Option D is correct.

A voluntary response error was made in this design. This type of sampling only targets those who are passionate about a specific act and call in to vote; it is not a good representation of the population.

Step-by-step explanation:

When humans are given the choice whether to participate in a survey like in this question, most often than not, the survey becomes biased.

This is because only the people or set of people who feel strongly the most about the subject matter of the poll will participate in the survey. This favours the group that disagrees as this group, if given the choice to express their opinion, will most likely be the set of people that will readily express their discontent.

Discontent is more visibly and strongly expressed in humans.

In order to remove this bias, people should have been chosen at random and their responses recorded.

A shark is 80 feet below the surface of the water. It swims up and jumps out of the water to a height of 15 feet above the surface. Find the vertical distance the shark travels.

Answers

Answer:

∆y = 95 ft

the vertical distance the shark travels is 95 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Initial position y1= 80 ft below the surface of water = -80ft

Final Position y2 = 15 ft above the surface = +15ft

The vertical distance travelled by the shark is;

∆y = y2 - y1 = 15 - (-80) ft

∆y = 15 +80 ft

∆y = 95 ft

the vertical distance the shark travels is 95 ft

Answers

Answer:  a=4, b=16, c=12

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the intercept form: a(x - p)(x - q)  where p & q are the intercepts.

Given: p = -3, q = -1, and y-intercept (c) = 12

 a[x - (-3)][x - (-1)]

= a(x + 3)(x + 1)

= a(x² + 4x + 3)

= ax² + 4ax + 3a

y-intercept = 12

     3a = 12

       a = 4

   Substitute a = 4

    4x² + 4(4)x + 3(4)

Arrange in ascending order ½, ⅛, ¾, ⅖

Answers

Answer:

1/8, 2/5 , 1/2, 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2= 0.5

1/8= 0.1

3/4= 0.8

2/5= 0.4

just arrange them in the order from smallest to largest......

Answer:

⅛ < ⅖ <  ½ < ¾

Step-by-step explanation:

First, rewrite the fractions so that they all have the same denominator.

The new denominator should be the lowest common multiple of the original denominators.

The L.C.M. of 2, 8, 4, and 5 is 40.

When multiplying the denominator to 40, make sure you multiply the numerator with the same value you use to multiply the denominator.

1/2 = 1x20 / 2 x 20 = 20/40

1/8 = 1x5 / 8x5 = 5/40

3/4 = 3x10 / 4x10 = 30/40

2/5 = 2x8 / 5x8 = 16/40

When all the denominators are the same, we can compare the numerator. The greater the numerator, the greater the fraction is.

Between 20, 5, 30, and 16, the smallest is 5, then 16, 20 and greatest is 30.

Since ascending order means listing them out from smallest to greatest, the order should be:

⅛ < ⅖ <  ½ < ¾

I promise I will mark as brainiest How many minutes is it before 12 noon, if 48 minutes ago it was twice as many minutes past 9 a.m.?

Answers

Answer:

You first need to convert everything to minutes:

12 noon = 12 x 60 = 720 minutes

9 am = 9 x 60 = 540 minutes

Let x = number of minutes before noon

The time now is 12 noon -x = 720 -x minutes

48 minutes ago it was 720-x-48

720 -x - 48 = 540 + 2x

720-48-540 = 3x

x = 44 minutes

It is 44 minutes before noon, or 11:16 am

Answer:

9:00 am -------------------- 12:00pm ( There are 180 minutes between them)

Go 48 minutes back (132 Minutes between them)

That time is divided by 2

(4x minutes past 9:00 and x minutes left to reach 12:00)

132/3 = 44 minutes are left

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between the building height (h), the shadow length (s), and the angle of elevation of the sun (α) is ...

  tan(α) = h/s

  h = s·tan(α) = (18 m)tan(62°) ≈ 33.853 m

24) The sum of Sh.51000 was shared among three partners; Amos, John and peter such that the ratio
of Amos : John = 4:3 while John: Peter = 2:1. Calculate the amount received by Peter. (3 marks)

Answers

Answer:

Sh. 9000

Step-by-step explanation:

John : Peter = 2 : 1

John/peter = 2/1

John = 2 Peter.... (1)

Amos : John = 4:3

Amos/John = 4/3

Amos = 4/3 John.. (2)

From (1) & (2)

Amos = 4/3 * 2 Peter = 8/3 Peter.... (3)

Since,

Amos + John + Peter = 51000

Therefore,

8/3 Peter + 2peter + Peter = 51000

(8+6+3)/3 *Peter = 51000

17/3 * Peter = 51000

Peter = 51000 * 3/17

Peter = 3000 * 3

Peter = 9000

Hence, amount received by Peter is Sh. 9000.

A 13.5-meter ladder leans against a brick wall and the ladder makes a 75∘ with the wall. The distance d the ladder goes up the wall is -- meters. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answers

Answer:

3.5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagorean theorem to find the distance (d) the distance goes up the wall = adjacent to the angle 75° that is formed with the wall.

Length of ladder = the hypothenuse = 13.5 m

Thus, we would use:

Cos75 = adjacent/hypothenuse

Cos 75 = d/13.5

Multiply both sides by 13.5

13.5*cos(75) = d

13.5*0.2588 = d

3.4938 = d

d ≈ 3.5 m (nearest tenth)

Given: ∆ABC – iso. ∆, m∠BAC = 120° AH ⊥ BC , HD ⊥ AC AD = a cm, HD = b cm Find: P∆ABH

P = _____ cm

Answers

Answer:

P = 5.4641b cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the triangle ABC is isosceles and m∠BAC = 120°, we have that:

[tex]mACB = mABC = (180-120)/2 = 30\°[/tex]

Then, in triangle ABH, we have:

[tex]mABH + mBHA + mHAB = 180\°[/tex]

[tex]30\° + 90\° + mHAB = 180\°[/tex]

[tex]mHAB = 60\°[/tex]

If m∠BAC is 120°, we have:

[tex]mHAB + mHAC = 120\°[/tex]

[tex]m∠HAC = 60\°[/tex]

Now we can find the length of AH using the sine relation of angle m∠HAC:

[tex]sin(mHAC) = DH / AH[/tex]

[tex]0.866 = b / AH[/tex]

[tex]AH = b / 0.866 = 1.1547b[/tex]

Now, to find the length of HB and AB, we can use the tangent and cosine relation of the angle m∠HAB:

[tex]tan(mHAB) = HB / AH[/tex]

[tex]1.7321 = HB / 1.1547b[/tex]

[tex]HB = 1.7321 * 1.1547b = 2b[/tex]

[tex]cos(mHAB) = AH / AB[/tex]

[tex]0.5 = 1.1547b / AB[/tex]

[tex]AB = 1.1547b / 0.5 = 2.3094b[/tex]

So the perimeter of triangle ABH is:

[tex]P(ABH) = AB + HB + AH[/tex]

[tex]P(ABH) = 2.3094b + 2b + 1.1547b[/tex]

[tex]P(ABH) = 5.4641b[/tex]

The relation of a and b can be calculated using the tangent relation of the angle m∠HAC:

[tex]tan(mHAC) = DH / AD[/tex]

[tex]1.7321 = b / a[/tex]

[tex]b = 1.7321a[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]1. 12^2 = 11^2 + 6^2-2(11)(6)\cos(Y) \\\\2. 144 = 121 + 36-(132)\cos(Y) \\\\3. 144 = 157 - (132)\cos(Y) \\\\4. -13 = -(132)\cos(Y)\\\\\\5. \cos(Y) = \dfrac{-13}{-132} \\\\6. Y = \arccos \left ( \dfrac{13}{132}\right)\\\\7. Y=84.35^\circ\\\\8. Y\approx 84^\circ $(to the nearest angle)[/tex]

The largest angle is 84 degrees to the nearest angle.
