In 1906, Colombia experienced an intense earthquake with a magnitude of 8.8 on the Richter scale. In 1995, Egypt experienced an earthquake that measured 7.3 on the Richter scale. Compare the intensities of the two earthquakes. Use a logarithmic model to solve. Round to the nearest whole number.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The intensity of the 1906 earthquake was about 32 times the intensity of the 1995 earthquake.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The earthquake with a magnitude of 8.8 is 178 times stronger than the earthquake that measured 7.3.

What is logarithm?

A logarithm is the power to which a number must be raised in order to get some other number.

Given that, there are two earthquakes of magnitude 8.8 and 7.3

The energy released is given by:

[tex]log_{10} E = 4.4+1.5M[/tex]

For 8.8

E1 = 3.981071705534X10^17

For 7.3

E2 = 2.238721138568X10^15

E1/E2 = 3.981071705534X10^17/2.238721138568X10^15 ≈ 178

Hence, The earthquake with a magnitude of 8.8 is 178 times stronger than the earthquake that measured 7.3.

Given the following exponential function, identify whether the change represents growth or decay, and determine the percentage rate of increase or decrease.y=69(0.92)

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  decay; 8% decrease per time period

Step-by-step explanation:

The growth factor is the base of the exponential term. The growth rate is 1 less.

  growth rate = 0.92 -1 = -0.08 = -8%

When the growth rate is negative, it is exponential decay withe the amount of decrease equal to the magnitude of the rate.

A growth rate of -8% represents exponential decay, with a decrease of 8% per time period.

Step-by-step explanation:

PLATO users

4% of the pine trees in this forest are taller than 100 feet.

The heights of the pine trees in a certain forest are normally distributed, with a mean of 86 feet and a standard deviation of 8 feet. Approximately what percentage of the pine trees in this forest are taller than 100 feet to be determined.

What is Statistic?

The statistic is the study of mathematics that deals with relations between comprehensive data.

raw score x = 100 , mean = 86 standard deviation = 8,
The probability of pine trees in the forest being taller than 100 ft is given as,


p = p( x > 100)
[tex]P =P[z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}][/tex]
P = z [ (100-86)/8 ]
P = z [1.5]
P = 0.04004
P = 4.04%

Thus, 4% of the pine trees in this forest are taller than 100 feet.

Annual starting salaries for college graduates with degrees in business administration are generally expected to have a population standard deviation of $3,000. Assume that a 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean annual starting salary is desired. How large a sample should be taken if the desired margin of error is (a) [1 pt] $500

Answers

Answer:

A sample of 139 should be taken.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.025 = 0.975[/tex], so Z = 1.96.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

Population standard deviation of $3,000.

This means that [tex]\sigma = 3000[/tex]

How large a sample should be taken if the desired margin of error is $500?

A sample of n is needed.

n is found when M = 500. So

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]500 = 1.96\frac{3000}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]500\sqrt{n} = 1.96*3000[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 500

[tex]\sqrt{n} = 1.96*6[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (1.96*6)^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 138.3[/tex]

Rounding up:

A sample of 139 should be taken.

Step-by-step explanation:

Naomi's fish is 40 millimeters long. Her guinea pig is 25 centimeters long.
How much longer is her guinea pig than her fish?

Answers

Explanation 1:

Her guinea pig is

25 cm  long.

25 cm = 250 mm

Her fish is  40 mm long, so her guinea pig is longer than her fish by

25 cm − 40 mm = 250 mm − 40 mm = 210 mm= 21 cm

Explanation 2:

First, lets convert the length of Naomi's guinea pig from cm to mm.

1 cm=10 mm

We can multiply each side of the equation by 25 to obtain the length of the guinea pig in mm.

25 × 1 cm = 25 ×  10 mm

25 cm = 250 mm

Because we have a length of the guinea pig and the fish in a common metric we can subtract the two values: 250 mm − 40 mm = 210 mm The guinea pig is 210 millimeters longer than the fish. Or, if we want to convert this to centimeters we can divide by 10: 210 millimeters 10 = 21 centimeters

During a flu epidemic, 35% of the school's students have the flu. Of those with the flu, 90% have high
temperatures. However, high temperatures are possible for people who do not have the flu. It is estimated that
12% of those without the flu have high temperatures.
If a student has a high temperature, what is the probability that the student has the flu?

Answers

Answer:

0.8015 = 80.15% probability that the student has the flu

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

In this question:

Event A: Has high temperature.

Event B: Has the flu

Probability of a student having high temperatures:

90% of 35%(have the flu)

12% of 100 - 35 = 65%(do not have the flu). So

[tex]P(A) = 0.9*0.35 + 0.12*0.65 = 0.393[/tex]

Probability of having high temperatures and the fly?

90% of 35%, so

[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.9*0.35 = 0.315[/tex]

If a student has a high temperature, what is the probability that the student has the flu?

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.315}{0.393} = 0.8015[/tex]

0.8015 = 80.15% probability that the student has the flu
