Given that t<span>he science department buys the equipment shown in the table below.

Item                      Time Bought
Microscopes          every 5 years
Safety goggles      every 4 years
Test tubes             every 2 years

Given that they bought all three items this year. The number of years it will take for them to buy all three items again in the same year is given by the LCM of 5, 4, and 2.

5 = 1 x 5
4 = 1 x 2 x 2
2 = 1 x 2

LCM = 1 x 2 x 2 x 5 = 20.

Therefore, they will buy all three items again in 20 years.

Suppose that from the past experience a professor knows that the test score of a student taking his final examination is a rando
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

n=13.167^2 =173.369 and if we round up to the nearest integer we got n =174

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The central limit theorem states that "if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and take sufficiently large random samples from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally distributed. This will hold true regardless of whether the source population is normal or skewed, provided the sample size is sufficiently large".

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

Let X the random variable who represents the test score of a student taking his final examination. We know from the problem that the distribution for the random variable X is given by:

X\sim N(\mu =73,\sigma =10.5)

From the central limit theorem we know that the distribution for the sample mean \bar X is given by:

\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

Solution to the problem

We want to find the value of n that satisfy this condition:

P(71.5 < \bar X

And we can use the z score formula given by:

z=\frac{\bar X- \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

And we have this:

P(\frac{71.5-73}{\frac{10.5}{\sqrt{n}}} < Z

And we can express this like this:

P(-0.14286 \sqrt{n} < Z< 0.14286 \sqrt{n} )=0.94

And by properties of the normal distribution we can express this like this:

P(-0.14286 \sqrt{n} < Z< 0.14286 \sqrt{n} )=1-2P(Z

If we solve for P(Z we got:

P(Z

Now we can find a quantile on the normal standard distribution that accumulates 0.03 of the area on the left tail and this value is: z=-1.881

And using this we have this equality:

-1.881 = -0.14286 \sqrt{n}

If we solve for \sqrt{n} we got:

\sqrt{n} = \frac{-1.881}{-0.14286}=13.167

And then n=13.167^2 =173.369 and if we round up to the nearest integer we got n =174

Simplifying exponents (picture provided)
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

<em>3^2 ; Option B</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation 3^ -6 * ( 3^4 / 3^0 )^2, which can be solved through the application of exponential rules;

3^{ - 6 } * ( 3^{ 4 } / 3^{ 0 } )^{2} - take 3^{ 0 } as 1,\\\\3^{ - 6 } * ( 3^{ 4 } / 1 )^{2} - take 3^{4} to power of 2, ( * of exponents ),\\\\3^{ - 6 } * ( 3^{ 8 } ) - combine powers, adding exponents,\\\\3^{ - 6 + 8 } - add like terms,\\\\3^{2} \\\\Solution; 3^{2}

<em>3^2 ; Option B</em>

The measure of an angle is twenty-four times the measure of its complementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

<h2>         3.6° and 86.4°</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

24x   - measure of an angle

x      - the measure of a complementary angle

Complementary angles adds to 90°

x + 24x = 90°

25x = 90°

x = 90°÷25

x = 3.6°

24x = 24·3.6° = 86.4°
