A growth medium is inoculated with 1,000 bacteria, which grow at a rate of 15% each day. What is the population of the culture 6 days after inoculation?

y = 1,000(1.15)6; 2,313 bacteria
y = 1,000(1.15)7; 2,660 bacteria
y = 1,000(1.5)5; 7,594 bacteria
y = 1,000(1.5)6; 11,391 bacteria

Which of the following would be a correct step in proving that triangle abc is congruent to triangle cda? a. use a protractor to measure the angles and show that all the corresponding angles are equal in measure. this will allow you to prove congruence by aaa. b. show that segment ab is parallel to segment cd and segment ad is parallel to segment cb. this will allow you to prove congruency by asa. c. show that is segment ab is perpendicular to segment ad. this will allow you to prove congruence by sas. d. none of the above.

Anew test for ra is being developed. the test is administered to 750 patients with ra and 750 without ra. for the sake of the question, assume the prevalence of ra in this population is 50%. of the 750 patients with ra, 575 have a positive result. of the 750 patients without ra, 150 have a positive result. what is the positive predictive value of the new test? a575/(575+150) b. 600/(600+ 150) c. 575/(575+125) d. 600/(600+ 125)
