Answer:

option-B

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

$-5x^3(3x^2+3x-1)$

we can use distributive property

Distributive property:

$a(x+y+z)=a\cdot x+a\cdot y+a\cdot z$

now, we can apply this formula

and we get

$-5x^3(3x^2+3x-1)=-5x^3\cdot 3x^2-5x^3\cdot 3x-5x^3\cdot -1$

we can see that there are two negative signs in last term

so, we can write as

$-5x^3(3x^2+3x-1)=-5x^3\cdot 3x^2-5x^3\cdot 3x+5x^3\cdot 1$

so,

option-B

Yes it is because if you round 14 to 15, and add 15 and 15 you get 30. Then do 30 times 3 to get 90. Round this to the nearest hundred and you get 100.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the pythagorean theorem, we can determine if these are right triangles or not.

equation: sqrt a^2+b^2=c

this means the square root of the two shortest sides squared must equal to the largest side, (the hypotenuese).

A clinical trial was conducted to test the effectiveness of the drug zopiclone for treating insomnia in older subjects. Before t

Answer:

We cannot say that the mean wake time are different before and after the treatment, with 98% certainty. So the zopiclone doesn't appear to be effective.

Step-by-step explanation:

The goal of this analysis is to determine if the mean wake time before the treatment is statistically significant. The question informed us the mean wake time before and after the treatment, the number of subjects and the standard deviation of the sample after treatment. So using the formula, we can calculate the confidence interval as following:

$IC[\mu ; 98\%] = \overline{y} \pm t_{0.99,n-1}\sqrt{\frac{Var(y)}{n}}$

Knowing that $t_{0.99,15} = 2.602$ :

$IC[\mu ; 98\%] = 98.9 \pm 2.602\frac{42.3}{4} \Rightarrow 98.9 \pm 27.516$

$IC[\mu ; 98\%] = [71.387 ; 126,416]$

Note that $102.8 \in [71.384 ; 126.416]$ so we cannot say, with 98% confidence, that the mean wake time before treatment is different than the mean wake time after treatment. So the zopiclone doesn't appear to be effective.
