What is the quotient in simplified form ? Need help please

Mathematics

Gre4nikov [31]3 years ago

Answer:

  -\dfrac{4a^{12}b^8}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

The applicable rules of exponents are ...

  \dfrac{1}{a^{-b}}=a^b\\\\a^ba^c=a^{b+c}

Your ratio simplifies to ...

  \dfrac{-8a^8b^{-2}}{10a^{-4}b^{-10}}=-\dfrac{4}{5}a^{8-(-4)}b^{-2-(-10)}\\\\=-\dfrac{4a^{12}b^8}{5}

_____

Please note that simplifying the constants, -8/10 to -4/5, eliminates half the answer choices. Since exponents are only multiplied when a power is raised to a power, you can pretty much eliminate the second choice as being unreasonable. ((a^b)^c = a^(bc))

A group of statistics students decided to conduct a survey at their university to find the average (mean) amount of time student
Butoxors [25]

Answer: (21.541,\ 23.059)

Step-by-step explanation:

The confidence interval for population mean is given by :-

\overline{x}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Given : Sample size : n=240 , which is a large sample , so we apply z-test .

Sample mean : \overline{x}=22.3

Standard deviation : \sigma= 6

Significance level : \alpha=1-0.95=0.05

Critical value : z_{\alpha/2}=1.960

Now, a confidence interval at the 95% level of confidence will be :-

22.3\pm(1.960)\dfrac{6}{\sqrt{240}}\\\\\approx22.3\pm0.759\\\\=(22.3-0.759,\ 22.3+0.759)\\\\=(21.541,\ 23.059)
