Suppose that the function represents the percentage of inbound e-mail in the U.S. that is considered spam, where x is the number of years after 2002.
Use this model to approximate the percentage of spam in the year 2006 to the nearest tenth of a percent.
Please show work.. Thank You!!!
You have not shown "the model" or any data upon which to make a prediction. I suspect that there was more to that question.
Sorry... the function is:
P = 11 + 44 1n x
2006 is x =4 years after 2002
P = 11 + 44 ln 4 = 72.0%
The formula cannot work for many more years since P cannot exceed 100
Thank you!!
To approximate the percentage of spam in the year 2006, we need to determine the value of f(x) when x represents the number of years after 2002.
First, we need to determine the value of x for the year 2006. Since 2006 is 4 years after 2002, we set x = 4.
Next, we need to plug this value into the function f(x) to calculate the percentage of spam in 2006.
So, we have f(4) = percentage of spam in 2006.
Unfortunately, the function f(x) representing the percentage of spam in the U.S. is not provided, so we can't proceed further with the calculations without the actual function. If you have the function, please provide it, and I can help you with the calculations.
