The number of e. coli bacteria cells in a pond of stagnant water can be represented by the function below, where a represents the number of e. coli bacteria cells per 100 ml of water and t represents the time, in years, that has elapsed.

a(t)=136(1.123)^4t

based on the model, by approximately what percent does the number of e. coli bacteria cells increase each year?

a.

60%

b.

59%

c.

41%

d.

40%

Find the sum of the following series. round to the nearest hundredth if necessary.

Okay so i didn't get this problem petro bought 8 tickets to a basketball game he paid a total of $200 write an equation to determine whether each ticket cost $26 or $28 so i didn't get this question so yeahyou have a good day.

(b) suppose that consolidated power decides to use a level of significance of α = .05, and suppose a random sample of 100 temperature readings is obtained. if the sample mean of the 100 temperature readings is x⎯⎯ = 60.990, test h0 versus ha and determine whether the power plant should be shut down and the cooling system repaired. perform the hypothesis test by using a critical value and a p-value. assume σ = 5. (round your z to 2 decimal places and p-value to 4 decimal places.)
