Answer:
<em>It will take 9 years for the population to double</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Exponential Growth
</u>
The natural growth of some magnitudes can be modeled by the equation:
Where P is the actual amount of the magnitude, Po is its initial amount, r is the growth rate and t is the time.
The population of a city grows at a rate of r=8% = 0.08 per year. We are required to find when (t) the population will double, or P=2Po.
Substituting in the equation:
Simplifying:
Taking logarithms:
Applying the exponent property of logs:
Solving for t:
Calculating:
It will take 9 years for the population to double
48/100 (simplified: 6/25) - Fraction form
.48 - decimal form
48% - percent form
Since x=months,
50x=y
Where x is the number of months times the monthly charge. Y is just the output, or end value.
I hope this helps!

Answer:
c. Weights of babies are normally distributed
Step-by-step explanation:
The research has been conducted to identify the weight of new born babies in comparison to the weight of their mother. The samples are collected from young mothers who are at age of 16 to 18. The babies average weight turned out to be 7.3 pounds. It is assumed that the weight of babies is normally distributed.
