Question

On January 1, 1990, 50 frogs are released at a lake that previously had no frogs. 12 years later, it is estimated that there are 12,000 frogs around the lake. Assume that the annual percentage increase in the frog population has been the same over this time period. Determine in which year there are one million frogs at the lake if the population continues to increase exponentially at the same rate.

Låt tillväxtekvationen modelleras som y\left(t\right)=50a^t där t är antalet år efter 1990 givet att y(0) = 50 och y(12) = 12000 y(12) = 12000 ger ekvationen som 50a^{12}=12000 \Rightarrow a^{12}=\frac{12000}{50} \Rightarrow a^{12}=240 \Rightarrow a=240^{\frac{1}{12}} Sätt y(t) = 1 miljon = 1000000 för att få ekvationen som 50\left(240\right)^{\frac{t}{12}}=1000000 \Rightarrow\left(240\right)^{\frac{t}{12}}=\frac{1000000}{50} \Rightarrow\left(240\right)^{\frac{t}{12}}=20000 Ta logaritmer med bas 10 på båda sidor för att få \frac{t}{12}\left(\log240\right)=\log20000 \Rightarrow t=\frac{12\times\log20000}{\log240} \Rightarrow t\approx\frac{12\times4.30103}{2.38021}\approx21.68 Obligatoriskt år = 1990 + 21,68 = 2011,68 = 2012 (avrundat till närmaste kalenderår) Svar: Ungefär år 2012 kommer det att finnas 1 miljon grodor.

To calculate the probability that a player will receive the special card at least 2 times in 8 games, you can use the binomial distribution. The probability of receiving the special card in a single game is 1/4 (or 25%), and the probability of not receiving it is 3/4 (or 75%).

The blood types of individuals in society are as follows: A: 30%, B: 25%, AB: 20%, 0: 25%. It is known that the rates of contracting a certain disease according to blood groups are as follows: A: 7%, B: 6%, AB: 7%, 0: 4%. Accordingly, if a person selected by chance is known to have this disease, what is the probability of having blood group O?
