Mathematics

Answer:

Negative

Step-by-step explanation:

Since multiplication of two negative numbers is always positive, we get

x *x =x^2 and -x*-x =x^2

This gives us an idea about square root

A positive number can be expressed

as a*a and -a*-a

Thus there will be two square roots one positive which is called the principal square root

The other number will be the same in value but with a negative sign.

Definition: <span>The square root of a number is another number, which on multiplying with itself, will give the original number.
</span>
Every positive number has two square roots. One square root is positive, while the other is exactly same, but negative. The positive square root of a number is called its principle square root. For example, 10 and -10 are the two square roots of 100, but 10 is called the principle square root. 

Hence e<span>very positive number has two square roots , a principal square root and its opposite negative.</span>

A true/false test has 40 questions. Suppose a passing grade is 30 or more correct answers. Test the claim that a student knows m
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

z≈3.16

p≈0.001

we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the student knows more than half of the answers and is not just guessing in 0.05 significance level.

Step-by-step explanation:

As a result of step 2, we can assume normal distribution for the null hypothesis

<em>step 3:</em>

z statistic is computed as follows:

z=\frac{X-M}{\frac{\sqrt{p*(1-p)} }{\sqrt{N} } } where

  • X is the proportion of correct answers in the test (\frac{30}{40})
  • M is the expected proportion of correct answers according to the null hypothesis (0.5)
  • p is the probability of correct answer (0.5)
  • N is the total number of questions in the test (40)

z=\frac{0.75-0.50}{\frac{\sqrt{0.5*(0.5)} }{\sqrt{40} } } ≈ 3.16

And corresponding p value for the z-statistic is p≈0.001.

Since p<0.05, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the student knows more than half of the answers and is not just guessing in 0.05 significance level.

What factors cause acid rain in Canada?
vodomira [7]

Answer: The primary cause of low pH in precipitation over northeastern North America is sulphuric acid (H2SO4) from industrial and urban emissions of sulphur dioxide (SO2). Nitric acid (HNO3) generated from emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) is a significant contributing factor in this region.
