Answer:

More formally, statistical power is the probability of finding a statistically significant result, given that there really is a difference (or effect) in the population. ... So, larger sample sizes give more reliable results with greater precision and power, but they also cost more time and money.

1. The function of lenses is based on the law of refraction. A light beam is traveling from the medium 1 where its speed is V1,

masha68 [24]

Answer:

The index of refraction for Medium 2 would be 1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following data:

Speed of light in Medium 1 = V₁

Speed of light in Medium 2 = V₂

The speed of Light in Medium 2 is related to speed of light in Medium 1 as:

V₂ = 0.8 V₁

Moreover, it is given that Medium 1 is air with index of refraction equal to 1. i.e.

n₁ = 1

We need to find the index of refraction for medium 2. Lets name it is as n₂.

Snell's law related the above mentioned 4 quantities by following relation:

The ratio of indices of refraction of 2 mediums is equivalent to the reciprocal of ratio of phase velocities in those 2 mediums. Mathematically, this can be written as:

$\frac{n_{1}}{n_{2}} = \frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}}$

Substituting the values we have gives us:

$\frac{1}{n_{2}}=\frac{0.8V_{1}}{V_{1}} \\\\\frac{1}{n_{2}}=0.8\\\\ 1=0.8n_{2}\\\\\frac{1}{0.8}=n_{2}\\\\ n_{2}=1.25$

This means, the index of refraction for Medium 2 would be 1.25

A washer and a dryer cost $450 combined. The cost of the washer is two times the cost of the dryer. What is the cost of the drye

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

$150

Step-by-step explanation:

so you can divvy this up into 3 parts

$150 each

now put 2 parts into one, and one into the other. The cost of the washer is $150

cost of the dryer is$ 300

JUL DEJU ILI<br> Determine the value of y, if x is – 7.<br> y = x2 + 1<br> I need help

Arada [10]

Answer:

y=-13

Step-by-step explanation:

Plugging in -7:

y= (-7)2 + 1

-7 * 2 = -14

So:

y= -14 + 1

-14+1=-13

How do you solve this

fiasKO [112]

(((x + y) / 3) + (1 / x)) / (5 + (15 / x))
The best way is to make it one fraction.
Multiply by ((3x/3x) / (3x/3x)) to remove the other fractions.
((x(x + y)) + 3(1)) / (5(3x) + 3(15))
(x^2 + xy + 3) / (15x + 45)
Then factor to simplify
(x^2 + xy + 3) / (3(x + 15))
