Browning labs is testing a new growth inhibitor for a certain type of bacteria. the bacteria naturally grows exponentially each hour at a rate of 6.2%. the researchers know that the inhibitor will make the growth rate of the bacteria less than or equal to its natural growth rate. the sample currently contains 100 bacteria.the container holding the sample can hold only 300 bacteria, after which the sample will no longer grow. however, the researchers are increasing the size of the container at a constant rate allowing the container to hold 100 more bacteria each hour. they would like to determine the possible number of bacteria in the container over time.create a system of inequalities to model the situation above, and use it to determine how many of the solutions are viable.

Finally, the arena decides to offer advertising space on the jerseys of the arena’s own amateur volley ball team. the arena wants the probability of being shortlisted to be 0.14. what is this as a percentage and a fraction? what is the probability of not being shortlisted? give your answer as a decimal. those shortlisted are entered into a final game of chance. there are six balls in a bag (2 blue balls, 2 green balls and 2 golden balls). to win, a company needs to take out two golden balls. the first ball is not replaced. what is the probability of any company winning advertising space on their volley ball team jerseys?

Suppose that 3% of all athletes are using the endurance-enhancing hormone epo (you should be able to simply compute the percentage of all athletes that are not using epo). for our purposes, a “positive” test result is one that indicates presence of epo in an athlete’s bloodstream. the probability of a positive result, given the presence of epo is .99. the probability of a negative result, when epo is not present, is .90. what is the probability that a randomly selected athlete tests positive for epo? 0.0297
