The following function describes the number of employees working at a company, In thousands, where trepresents the number of years since the company revised the benefits package.
f(t) = 1.5(0.90)^t

Answers

Answer 1

Consider the missing part of the question is "Select the correct statement.

A. The number of employees is increasing by 50% every year.

B. The number of employees is decreasing by 10% every year.

C. The number of employees is decreasing by 90% every year.

D. The number of employees is increasing by 90% every year."

Given:

The function is:

[tex]f(t)=1.5(0.90)^t[/tex]

Where, f(t) is the number of employees working at a company, in thousands and t is the number of years since the company revised the benefits package.

To find:

The correct statement from the given options.

Solution:

The general exponential decay model is:

[tex]f(t)=a(1-r)^t[/tex]         ...(i)

Where, a is the initial value, r is the rate of decay and t is the number of years.

We have,

[tex]f(t)=1.5(0.90)^t[/tex]

It can be written as

[tex]f(t)=1.5(1-0.10)^t[/tex]        ...(ii)

From (i) and (ii), we get

[tex]a=1.5,r=0.10[/tex]

The initial value is 1.5 and the rate of decay is 0.10 or 10%. It means the number of employees is decreasing by 10% every year.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

ramu and ravi borrowed rs 8000​

Answers

Answer: Rs. 11,520

Step-by-step explanation:

As the method of compounding is not stated, the default of simple interest will be used.

Simple interest is a fixed amount that is paid over the course of the loan and is based on the original amount borrowed.

Formula is:

Amount owed = Amount borrowed * ( 1 + rate * time)

= 8,000 * ( 1 + 8% * 5.5 years)

= 8,000 * 1.44

= rs 11,520

A large school district is considering implementing a program that, if successful, would improve the reading scores of its students by 10 points. The current reading scores for the district are normally distributed with a mean of 25 and a standard deviation of 8. The administrators decide to test the new program in one school of 200 students. What is the standard deviation of the comparison distribution

Answers

Answer:

The standard deviation of the comparison distribution is 0.5657.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes 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].

In this question:

Standard deviation of the population is 8, sample of 200. So

[tex]s = \frac{8}{\sqrt{200}} = 0.5657[/tex]

The standard deviation of the comparison distribution is 0.5657.

What is the value of x in the figure below?

Answers

Answer:

x = 25°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of interior angles in a triangle is equal to 180°

The given triangle is a right triangle which means one of its angle has a measure of 90°

since thd other angle is given as 65 to calculate x we just add the given measures and subtract it from 180

90° + 65 + x = 180

155 + x = 180 subtract 155 from both sides

x = 25°

3.16 SAT scores: SAT scores (out of 2400) are distributed normally with a mean of 1490 and a standard deviation of 295. Suppose a school council awards a certificate of excellence to all students who score at least 1900 on the SAT, and suppose we pick one of the recognized students at random. What is the probability this student's score will be at least 2100

Answers

Answer:

0.2333 = 23.33% probability this student's score will be at least 2100.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution, and conditional probability.

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 zscore 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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

[tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

SAT scores (out of 2400) are distributed normally with a mean of 1490 and a standard deviation of 295.

This means that [tex]\mu = 1490, \sigma = 295[/tex]

In this question:

Event A: Student was recognized.

Event B: Student scored at least 2100.

Probability of a student being recognized:

Probability of scoring at least 1900, which is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 1900. So

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

[tex]Z = \frac{1900 - 1490}{295}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.39[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.39[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.9177

1 - 0.9177 = 0.0823

This means that [tex]P(A) = 0.0823[/tex]

Probability of a student being recognized and scoring at least 2100:

Intersection between at least 1900 and at least 2100 is at least 2100, so this is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 2100.

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

[tex]Z = \frac{2100 - 1490}{295}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.07[/tex]

[tex]Z = 2.07[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.9808

This means that [tex]P(A \cap B) = 1 - 0.9808 = 0.0192[/tex]

What is the probability this student's score will be at least 2100?

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.0192}{0.0823} = 0.2333[/tex]

0.2333 = 23.33% probability this student's score will be at least 2100.

What is Circle?

A circle is a shape consisting of all points in a plane that are at a given distance from a given point, the centre.

The measure of the arc FE is 146 degrees.

Measure ED is 90 degrees.

To find the measure of the arc EDF we have to find the measure of DF.

146+90+x=360

236+x=360

Subtract 236 from both sides

x=360-236

x=124

Now let us find the arc measure EDF =Measure of ED + Measure of DF

=90+124

=214 degrees

Hence, the measure of the arc is 214 degrees
