Researcher were testing out a new antibiotic on a certain bacteria. They started with 38,000 bacteria. After one treatment with antibiotics, 33,820 were left. After a second treatment, 30,100 bacteria were left. How many bacteria will be left on day 27

1836 bacteria

Step-by-step explanation:

Now the data is a progression; 38,000, 33,820, 30,100

We can find out what type of progression it is, in this case, we can see that it is a geometric progression because;

r= 33,820/38,000 = 30,100/33,820 = 0.89

So, for a geometric progression;

Un = ar^n-1

Where;

a = 38,000

r = 0.89

n = 27 days

Un = ???

Un = 38,000 * (0.89)^27 - 1

Un = 1836 bacteria

solution:

as, mean is defined as sum of all the observations divided by total number of observations.

and , median is mid value of the data whether arranged in ascending order or descending order.

consider, roadsters:

2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

mean =

also, median= , because number of observations is even, so median is mean of two mid values.

now, coming to bandits

2,3,4,5,6

mean =  

median = 4, as number of observations is odd.

so, roadsters has greater median as well mean than bandits.

→option a is true about the repairs performed on 2 types of cars:

bandits have lower median and mean than roadsters.
