Bacteria growth. A colony of bacteria is grown under ideal conditions in a laboratory so that the population increases exponentially with time. At the end of 3 h there are 10,000 bacteria. At the end of 5 h there are 40,000 bacteria. How many bacteria were present initially

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1250 bacteria

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for Exponential Growth is given as:

P(t)= Poe^rt

Where

P(t) = Population after time t

Po = Initial Population

r = growth rate

t = time

Hence, solving for the above question , we have to find Po

Making Po the subject of the formula

Po = P(t)/e^rt

Step 1

Find the Exponential growth rate

At the end of 3 h there are 10,000 bacteria.

Hence:

Po = 10000/e^3r.... Equation 1

At the end of 5 h there are 40,000 bacteria.

Po = 40000/e^5r..... Equation 2

Equating both equations together,

10000/e^3r = 40000/e^5r

Hence:

e^5r/e^3r = 40000/10000

e^2r = 4

Take the In of both sides

In (e^2r) =In 4

2r= In 4

r = In 4/2

r = In 2

Step 2

Solve for Po(Initial Population)

Using Equation 2

Po = 40000/e^5r..... Equation 2

r = In2

Po = 40000/e^5 × In 2

Po = 40000/2⁵

Po = 1250 bacteria.

Therefore, they was 1250 bacteria initially

Cynthia invests some money in a bank which pays 5% compound interest per year.
She wants it to be worth over £8000 at the end of 3years.
What is the smallest amount to nearest pound she can invest?​

Answers

Answer:

£6,910.70

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the amount invested is given below:

As we know that

Amount = Principal × (1 + rate of interest)^number of years

£8000 = Principal × (1 + 0.05)^3

£8000 = Principal × 1.05^3

£8000 = Principal × 1.157625

So, the principal amount is

= £8000 ÷ 1.157625

= £6,910.70

What is the function of the “whiskers” in a box and whisker plot?
A
They represent the interquartile range.

B
They link the interquartile range to the minimum and maximum.

C
They compare the lower quartile to the upper quartile.

D
They compare the median to the interquartile range.

Answers

Answer:

the answer should be c

Step-by-step explanation:

A Box and Whisker Plot (or Box Plot) is a convenient way of visually displaying the data distribution through their quartiles. The lines extending parallel from the boxes are known as the “whiskers”, which are used to indicate variability outside the upper and lower quartiles

Whiskers function in a box and whisker plot represent the interquartile range. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.

What is a box-and-whisker plot?

A special kind of graph called a box and whisker plot is used to display the distribution of groupings of numerical data. It displays the median—the average value of the numbers in your data—as well as the lowest and greatest values as well as the quartiles, which divide the data into four equally-sized groups.

The whiskers are the two lines that extend outside the box and run from the minimum to the lower quartile (the box's beginning) and from the higher quartile (the box's end) to the maximum value.

Therefore, option A is the correct answer.

Jane spends about 1/6 of the day sleeping. How many hours in a day does Jane sleep? How many hours in a week?

Answers

Answer:

Jane spend 4 hours in a day sleeping, and 28 hours in a week.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1 day, there are 24 hours. 24 multiplied by 1/6 is 4. I know this because 24 x 1/6 = 24/1 x 1/6 = 24/6 = 4/1 = 4.

In 1 week, there are 168 hours. 1/6 multiplied by 168 is 28. I know this because 168 x 1/6 = 168/1 x 1/6 = 168/6 = 28/1 = 28

Last year at a certain high school, there were 150 boys on the honor roll and 150 girls
on the honor roll. This year, the number of boys on the honor roll increased by 24%
and the number of girls on the honor roll increased by 10%. By what percentage did
the total number of students on the honor roll increase? Round your answer to the
nearest tenth (if necessary).

Answers

Answer: 17%

Step-by-step explanation:

Last year:

Number of boys = 150 boys

Number or girls = 150 girls.

Total = 300 students

This year:

Number of boys = 150 + (24% × 150)

= 150 + (0.24 × 150)

= 150 + 36

= 186

Number or girls = 150 + (10% × 150)

= 150 + (0.1 × 150)

= 150 + 15

= 165

Total students = 186 + 165 = 351

Percentage increase = (351 - 300) / 300 × 100

= 51 / 300 × 100

= 17%

Answer:

Thats wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

Find new values:

150(1+0.24)=\color{green}{186}

150(1+0.24)=186

150(1+0.06)=\color{blue}{159}

150(1+0.06)=159

Last Year This Year

Boys 150 186

Girls 150 159

Total 300 345

\text{Find overall increase:}

Find overall increase:

300(1+r)=345

300(1+r)=345

\frac{300(1+r)}{300}=\frac{345}{300}
