The number of the specimens would be in the culture after 5 minutes will be 7,962.62.

<h3>What is an exponent?</h3>

Consider the function:

y = a (1 + r) ˣ

Where x is the number of times this growth occurs, a = initial amount, and r = fraction by which this growth occurs.

A bacteria culture grows at a rate of 20% per minute.

If the culture initially has 3,200 bacteria specimens.

Then the equation will be

y = 3200 (1 + 0.2) ˣ

y = 3200 (1.20) ˣ

Then the number of the specimens would be in the culture after 5 minutes will be

y = 3200 (1.20)⁵

y = 7962.62

the sum of the first n terms of a sequence is 20 - 10 / 2 ^ n - 1 find the sum of the first five terms

Travka [436]

Answer:

$S_5=\dfrac{170}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The sum of first n term of a sequence is $S_n=20-\dfrac{10}{2n-1}$

We need to find the sum of the first 5 terms.

Put n = 5,

$S_5=20-\dfrac{10}{2(5)-1}\\\\=20-\dfrac{10}{10-1}\\\\=20-\dfrac{10}{9}\\\\=\dfrac{170}{9}$

So, the sum of first 5 terms is equal to $\dfrac{170}{9}$ .

The probability that a student is accepted to a prestigious college is 0.3. If 5 students from the same school apply, what is th

hodyreva [135]

Answer:0.849185

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability formula we will use:

$P(x)=\frac{n !}{x !(n-x) !} p^{x} q^{n-x}$

where,

$n=5$\\$\mathrm{P}$ (probability of success) $=0.3$\\q=1-p$

The computation of the probability will be :

$P(x \leq 2 ; 5,0.3)=P(x=0 ; 5,0.3)+P(x=1 ; 5,0.3)+P(x=2 ; 5,0.3)+P(x=3 ; 5,0.3)$\\$=\left[\frac{5 !}{5 !(5-0) !}(0.3)^{0}(1-0.3)^{5-0}\right]+\left[\frac{5 !}{5 !(5-1) !}(0.3)^{1}(1-0.3)^{5-1}\right]$$+\left[\frac{5 !}{5 !(5-2) !}(0.3)^{2}(1-0.3)^{5-2}\right]$$++\left[\frac{5 !}{5 !(5-3) !}(0.3)^{3}(1-0.3)^{5-3}\right]$$++\left[\frac{5 !}{5 !(5-4) !}(0.3)^{4}(1-0.3)^{5-4}\right]$\\$=0.1681+0.3601+0.3087+0.006615+0.00567$\\$\Rightarrow 0.849185$

The probability that at most 4 are accepted = 0.849185
