Use the fact that the world population was 2560 million in 1950 and 3040 million in 1960 to model the population of the world in the second half of the 20th century. (assume that the growth rate is proportional to the population size.) what is the relative growth rate? use the model to estimate the world population in 1992 and to predict the population in the year 2030. solution we measure the time t in years and let t = 0 in the year 1950. we measure the population p(t) in millions of people. then p(0) = 2560 and p(10) = 3040. since we are assuming that dp/dt = kp, this theorem gives the following. (round to six decimal places.)

Anna is no more than 3 years older than 2 times jamie’s age. jamie is at least 14 and anna is at most 35. which system of linear inequalities can be used to find the possible ages of anna, a, and jamie, j?

What unit of been sure would be appropriate for the volume of a sphere with a radius of 2 meters

Jobs and productivity! how do retail stores rate? one way to answer this question is to examine annual profits per employee. the following data give annual profits per employee (in units of 1 thousand dollars per employee) for companies in retail sales. assume σ ≈ 4.0 thousand dollars. 3.7 6.7 3.6 8.5 7.5 5.9 8.7 6.4 2.6 2.9 8.1 −1.9 11.9 8.2 6.4 4.7 5.5 4.8 3.0 4.3 −6.0 1.5 2.9 4.8 −1.7 9.4 5.5 5.8 4.7 6.2 15.0 4.1 3.7 5.1 4.2 (a) use a calculator or appropriate computer software to find x for the preceding data. (round your answer to two decimal places.) thousand dollars per employee (b) let us say that the preceding data are representative of the entire sector of retail sales companies. find an 80% confidence interval for μ, the average annual profit per employee for retail sales. (round your answers to two decimal places.) lower limit -- thousand dollars upper limit -- thousand dollars (c) let us say that you are the manager of a retail store with a large number of employees. suppose the annual profits are less than 3 thousand dollars per employee. do you think this might be low compared with other retail stores? explain by referring to the confidence interval you computed in part (b). yes. this confidence interval suggests that the profits per employee are less than those of other retail stores. no. this confidence interval suggests that the profits per employee do not differ from those of other retail stores. correct: your answer is correct. (d) suppose the annual profits are more than 6.5 thousand dollars per employee. as store manager, would you feel somewhat better? explain by referring to the confidence interval you computed in part (b). yes. this confidence interval suggests that the profits per employee are greater than those of other retail stores. no. this confidence interval suggests that the profits per employee do not differ from those of other retail stores. (e) find an 95% confidence interval for μ, the average annual profit per employee for retail sales. (round your answers to two decimal places.) lower limit 3.75 incorrect: your answer is incorrect. thousand dollars upper limit 6.41 incorrect: your answer is incorrect. thousand dollars
