City planners anticipate an 8.2% population growth per year, including new residents and births. The population, in millions of people, based on this increase can be modeled by the function p(x) = 2.5(1.082)x, where x is the number of years of tracked growth. The planners also estimate a 3% population loss over the same time period that can be modeled by the function L(p) = p(0.97)x. Which function represents L(p(x))?

Out of five men and five women, we form a committee consisting of four different people. assuming that each committee of size four is equally likely, find the probabilities of the following events: 1. the committee consists of two men and two women 2. the committee has more women than men. 3. the committee has at least one man. for the remainder of the problem assume that alice and bob are among the ten people being considered. 4. both alice and bob are members of the committee.
