A student says that if the hypothesis is false, an argument cannot be valid. How do you respond ?

If a student tells me that an argument that has a false hypothesis cannot be valid, I would reply that we need to look carefully at the meaning of validity in the context of logic. In everyday speech, we tend to use “valid” to mean the same thing as “true” or “accurate.” In logic, this is not the way the term is used.

Help! <br> Which expression is equivalent? <br> On edge

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer: Choice B

$x^{1/8}y^{8}$

======================================================

Explanation:

The two rules we use are

$(a*b)^c = a^c*b^c$

$(a^b)^c = a^{b*c}$

When applying the first rule to the expression your teacher gave you, we can say that:

$\left(x^{1/4}y^{16}\right)^{1/2} = \left(x^{1/4}\right)^{1/2}*\left(y^{16}\right)^{1/2}$

Then applying the second rule lets us say

$\left(x^{1/4}\right)^{1/2}*\left(y^{16}\right)^{1/2} = x^{1/4*1/2}*y^{16*1/2} = x^{1/8}y^{8}$

Therefore,

$\left(x^{1/4}y^{16}\right)^{1/2} = x^{1/8}y^{8}$

-------------

In short, we just multiplied each exponent inside by the outer exponent 1/2.

So that explains why the exponents go from {1/4,16} to {1/8,8} for x and y in that exact order.

Here is a simple probability model for multiple-choice tests. Suppose that each student has probability p of correctly answering

Alla [95]

Answer:

a) The probability that Jodi scores 78% or lower on a 100-question test is 4%.

b) The probability that Jodi scores 78% or lower on a 250-question test is 0.023%.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) To approximate this distribution we have to calculate the mean and the standard distribution.

The mean is the proportion p=0.85.

The standard deviation can be calculates as:

$\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} }= \sqrt{\frac{0.85*(1-0.85)}{100} }=0.04$

To calculate the probability that Jodi scores 78% or less on a 100-question test, we first calculate the z-value:

$z=\frac{p-p_0}{\sigma} =\frac{0.78-0.85}{0.04} =-1.75$

The probability for this value of z is

$P(x$

The probability that Jodi scores 78% or lower on a 100-question test is 4%.

b) In this case, the number of questions is 250, so the standard deviation needs to be calculated again:

$\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} }= \sqrt{\frac{0.85*(1-0.85)}{250} }=0.02$

To calculate the probability that Jodi scores 78% or less on a 250-question test, we first calculate the z-value:

$z=\frac{p-p_0}{\sigma} =\frac{0.78-0.85}{0.02} =-3.5$

The probability for this value of z is

$P(x$

The probability that Jodi scores 78% or lower on a 250-question test is 0.023%.

12. Algebra There are 92 students in the third and fourth grades at Johnsonville Elementary. Of these, 47 are in fourth grade. W

Fudgin [204]

x + 47 = 92. <--- x represents the number of 3rd graders

x +47-47 = 92-47

x=45

There are 45 third grader. Hope this helped!
