Answer:

Both expressions have different base.

Step-by-step explanation:

Product rule can only be use for the similar bases. For example 2² × 2⁴ have the same base.

For this question, 3⁴ × 2⁸ have different bases which is 3 and 2.

A coffee company wants to make sure that their coffee is being served at the right temperature. If it is too hot, the customers

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Null hypothesis: $\mu = 65$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu \neq 65$

$t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".

For this case the value of $\mu$ represent the parameter associated to the population (True average of cofee temperature)

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

$\bar X=70.2$ represent the mean height for the sample

$s$ represent the sample standard deviation for the sample

$n=20$ sample size

$\mu_o =765$ represent the value that we want to test

$\alpha$ represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean i equal to 70.2, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu = 65$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu \neq 65$

If we analyze the size for the sample is < 30 and we don't know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:

$t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}$ (1)

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".

For this case the value of $\mu$ represent the parameter associated to the population (True average of cofee temperature)

The circumference of a standard baseball is about 9in. About how many square inches of horsehide are required to cover 100 balls

Marta_Voda [28]

This is the concept of area of solid materials, we are required to calculate the total area of horsehide that is required to cover 100 balls with each having a circumference of 9 in.
The area of hide required will be given by:
area=(area of each ball)*(total number of balls)
area of each ball is given by:
SA=4πr^2
given that the circumference is 9in, we are required to find the radius of the ball
Circumference, c=2πr
thus;
9=2πr
r=9/(2π)
r=1.4 in
Therefore the surface area will be:
SA=4π*1.4^2=24.6 in^2
Therefore the area of horsehide required to cover 100 balls will be:
Area=24.6*100=2,460 in^2.

Paulo can run a marathon in four hours and 20 minutes. If he's able to cut of 18% of his time, how long will it take him to run

Inga [223]

Cut out 18%
100=all,
all-cut out=remaining
100-18=82

4hrs 20mins=240+20mins=260mins
82% of 260 is 0.82*20=213.2=3 hours and 33.2 minutes

he can runi s 3 hours and 33.2 minutes
