Abiologist is researching a newly-discovered species of bacteria. he puts 1,000 bacteria into what he has determined to be a favorable growth medium. 12 hours later, he measures 12,500 bacteria. assuming exponential growth, find the growth equation and use it to determine the number of bacteria after 20 hours. note: once you find the equation, round a and b to the nearest hundredth to determine the solution. 62,821 78,324 20,864 20,167

step-by-step explanation:

answer: 33 ( approx)

step-by-step explanation:

since, in the linear regression formula, the slope is the a in the equation y = b + ax ( by comparing it with the general equation of line y = mx + c )

where,

here given table is,

price ($), x   :           18         23       25       29       30       33

pairs sold, y :         16         13         10       8         6       2

so, ,   ,   ,

and   ,

thus, slop of the given line is,

⇒  

⇒   ≈ 33
