Suppose that you have a bowl of 500 m&m candies, and each day you eat 1/4 of the candies you have. Is the number of candies left changing linearly or exponentially? Write an equation to model the number of candies left after n days.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]500(.75)^{n}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

It is changing exponentially because if you are eating a fraction of the left over m & m's, that is a different amount each time so it can't be linear.

500(1-(1/4))^n

[tex]500(.75)^{n}[/tex]

Answer 2

Initial quantity of the candies = 500

If we eat [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] candies each day, number of candies after one day

= 500 - [tex]\frac{1}{4}\times 500[/tex]

= 500 - 125

= 375

Number of candies after two days

= 375 - [tex]\frac{1}{4}\times (375)[/tex]

= 281.25

Therefore, sequence formed will be.

500, 375, 281.25.......n days

Ratio of 2nd and 1st term = [tex]\frac{375}{500}[/tex] = 0.75

Ratio of 3rd and 2nd term = [tex]\frac{281.75}{375}[/tex] = 0.75

Therefore, there is a common ratio of 0.75 in each successive and previous term.

And the sequence will be a geometric sequence.

Expression for the exponential decay is,

[tex]A=A_0(1-r)^n[/tex]

Here, A = Final amount

[tex]A_0=[/tex] Initial amount

r = percentage decrease

n = duration

From the given question,

[tex]A_0=500[/tex]

r = [tex]\frac{1}{4}=\frac{25}{100}[/tex]

Therefore, equation for the decrease in number of candies will be.

[tex]A=500(1-0.25)^n[/tex]

[tex]A=500(0.75)^n[/tex]

tan X = - 0.6745

tan X = tan 146 ° , tan 326

Either

tan X = tan 146

x = 146°

Or

tan X = tan 326°

x = 326°

Answer:

a F

Step-by-step explanation:

Normally when converting to scientific notation, I would count how many digits I have to move the decimal dot to get it in between the number, in this case, 36.

If you start shifting the decimal dot to the right and count one every time you shift one digit and go all the way to between 3 and 6, you would count to 5. Since you are shifting to the right, the power of the 10 should be negative. Thus, the answer should be 3.6 × 10[tex]^{-5}[/tex] which is F.

A study of malaria transmission in Africa tested whether drinking beer increased attractiveness to mosquitoes. Yes, this is a real story (Lefevre et al. 2010. PLOS One5:e9546), and for simplicity I have changed some details from what they actually did. The researchers opened a container of 50 mosquitoes and looked at what proportion of the 50 mosquitoes left the container and flew towards the volunteer person. They did this experiment with 30 persons and each person was tested twice, once before they drank anything and then (an hour later) after they had consumed a beer. Assuming that the proportions of mosquitoes are normally distributed and the variances are similar, what would be the best test to see if more mosquitoes are attracted to people after drinking a beer

Answers

Answer:

The best test to see if more mosquitoes are attracted to people after drinking beer is the z-test for the difference in proportion of two populations

Step-by-step explanation:

The study tested if drinking bear increases the attractiveness to mosquitoes

The number of people the taking part in the study, n = 30 people

The total number of mosquitoes in the study = 50 mosquitoes

The proportion of mosquitoes flying to each volunteer is measured before and one hour after consuming bear

The mean number of mosquito flying towards a volunteer can be found by summing the other proportions that fly towards the 30 volunteers and dividing by n₁ = 30, before and n₂ = 30 after the respondents had bear to obtain [tex]\hat{p}_{1}[/tex] and [tex]\hat{p}_{2}[/tex]

Given that the variances are equal and the sum of the sample for the two tests, n₁ + n₂ = 60 > 30, it is, best to use the the z-test for the difference in proportion as follows;

[tex]Z=\dfrac{\hat{p}_1-\hat{p}_2}{\sqrt{\hat{p} \cdot (1-\hat{p}) \cdot \left (\dfrac{1}{n_{1}}+\dfrac{1}{n_{2}} \right )}}[/tex]

Where the pooled mean, [tex]\hat p[/tex], is given as follows;

[tex]\hat p = \dfrac{n_1 \cdot \hat p_1 + n_2 \cdot \hat p_2}{n_1 + n_2}[/tex]

A machine used to fill beverage cans is supposed to supply exactly 16 ounces toeach can, but the actualamount supplied varies randomly from can to can. The machine is calibrated so that the population standard deviation is 0.04 ounces. How many filled cans must be sampled so that we estimate the mean fill volume within 0.015 ounces with 99% confidence

Answers

Answer:

48 cans must be sampled.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.005[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.005 = 0.995[/tex], so Z = 2.575.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

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

In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

The machine is calibrated so that the population standard deviation is 0.04 ounces.

This means that [tex]\sigma = 0.04[/tex]

How many filled cans must be sampled so that we estimate the mean fill volume within 0.015 ounces with 99% confidence?

n cans must be sampled, and n is found when M = 0.015. So

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

[tex]0.015 = 2.575\frac{0.04}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.015\sqrt{n} = 2.575*0.04[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.575*0.04}{0.015}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{2.575*0.04}{0.015})^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 47.2[/tex]

Rounding up, 48 cans must be sampled.

15. The dimensions of a triangle
with base 4 m and height
5 m are multiplied by 3. How
is the area affected?

Answers

Answer:

It increases it by 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Base = 4m

Height = 5m

Area of triangle = ½*base*height

Area of triangle = ½*4*5

Area of triangle = 2 * 5

Area of triangle = 10 m²

Multiplying the parameters by 3, we have;

Base = 4 * 3 = 12m

Height = 5 * 3 = 15m

To find the area of triangle;

Area of triangle = ½*base*height

Area of triangle = ½*12*15

Area of triangle = 6 * 15

Area of triangle = 90 m²

Therefore, multiplying the dimensions by a factor of 3 increases the area by 9.

A number is added to 12, and the result divided by 2. the answer is the same as you get by subtracting the number from 4. what is the number?​

Answers

Answer:

1 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+12)/2 = 4-x

Step 1, multiply both sides by 2 to remove that pesky fraction. x+12 = 8–2x

Step 2, add 2x to both sides to remove x from the right hand side. 3x+12 = 8

Step 3, minus 12 from both sides, removing it from the left hand side. 3x = -4

Step 4, divide by 3. x = 1 1/3

Answer:

the number is 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: let x be the missing number

x + 12 ÷ 2 = x - 4

first step: multiply 2 on both sides to get rid of the division

x + 12 ÷ 2 ×  2 = x - 4 × 2

x + 12 = 2x - 8  

second step: add 8 on both sides:

x + 12 + 8 = 2x - 8 + 8

x + 20 = 2x

third step: subtract x on both sides:

x - x + 20 = 2x - x

20 = x

to check: substitute 20 for x

x + 12 ÷ 2 = x - 4

20 + 12 ÷ 2 = 20 - 4

32 ÷ 2 = 16

16 = 16

The Pythagorean Theorem states that the hypotenuse (longest side) squared equal to sum of the two legs squared

so if it is a right triangle then
