Two owners of a cattle ranch, Robert and Val, want to find the average weight for the ranch’s 200 cows. Instead of weighing all

of the cows:
1. Robert weighs 25 cows and gets an average weight of 1,550 pounds (stdev = 50)
2. Val weighs 100 cows and gets an average weight of 1,380 pounds (stdev = 50)

The margin of error will be 20 and 10 respectively.

<h3>How to calculate the margin of error?</h3>

The margin of error for Robert will be:

= 1.96 × 50/✓25

= 1.96 × (50/5)

= 1.96 × 10

= 20 approximately

The margin of error for Val will be:

= 1.96 × 50/✓100

= 1.96 × 50/10

= 1.96 × 5

= 10 approximately

If x = –3 is the only x-intercept of the graph of a quadratic equation, which statement best describes the discriminant of the e

natita [175]

Equations don't really have x intercepts, functions or curves do. They're also known as the zeros of the function. When we set a function equal to zero we get an equation to solve, and the zeros of the function become the solutions or roots of the equation.

If a quadratic equation only has one root, that's a repeated root corresponding to a discriminant of zero.

In this example our equation is something like $2(x+3)^2=0$ , or expanded

$2x^2+12x + 18 = 0$

The discriminant $d=b^2-4ac$ here is

$d = 12^2 - 4(2)(18) = 0 \quad\checkmark$

In the expression 852.763 x 10?, what is the missing exponent that would result in a number that is 1,000 times the value of 852

Molodets [167]

Answer:

The missing exponent = power of 3

852.763 x 10³ = 852763

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression 852.763 x 10?

A number that is 1,000 times the value of 852.763 is calculated as:

852.763 × 1000 = 852763

Converting this to exponent

852.763 × 10³ = 852763

Therefore, the missing exponent that would result in number that is 1,000 times the value of 852.763 is power of 3 meaning 10³

what is the common ratio for the geometric sequence below, written as a fraction? 768, 480, 300, 187.5, …

Crazy boy [7]

Let

$a1=768\\a2=480\\a3=300\\a4=187.5$

Step $1$

Find $\frac{a2}{a1}$

$\frac{a2}{a1} =\frac{480}{768}$

Divide by $96$ numerator and denominator

$\frac{480}{768} =\frac{\frac{480}{96}}{\frac{768}{96}} \\ \\ \frac{480}{768}=\frac{5}{8}$

$a2=a1*\frac{5}{8}$

Step $2$

Find $\frac{a3}{a2}$

$\frac{a3}{a2} =\frac{300}{480}$

Divide by $60$ numerator and denominator

$\frac{300}{480} =\frac{\frac{300}{60}}{\frac{480}{60}} \\ \\ \frac{300}{480}=\frac{5}{8}$

$a3=a2*\frac{5}{8}$

Step $3$

Find $\frac{a4}{a3}$

$a4=187.5 \\ a4=187\frac{1}{2} \\ \\ a4=\frac{375}{2}$

$\frac{a4}{a3} =\frac{\frac{375}{2}}{300} \\ \\ \frac{a4}{a3} =\frac{375}{600}$

Divide by $75$ numerator and denominator

$\frac{375}{600} =\frac{\frac{375}{75}}{\frac{600}{75}} \\ \\ \frac{375}{600}=\frac{5}{8}$

$a4=a3*\frac{5}{8}$

In this problem

The geometric sequence formula is equal to

$a(n+1)=a(n)*\frac{5}{8}\\$

For $n\geq 1$

therefore

the answer is

the common ratio for the geometric sequence above is $\frac{5}{8}$
