We cannot calculate the confidence interval without the sample size.  However, for the second question, the sample size needed would be 49.

The formula we use is

n=(\frac{z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}\times \sigma}{E})^2

To find the z-score:
Convert 98% to a decimal:  0.98
Subtract from 1:  1-0.98 = 0.02
Divide by 2:  0.02/2 = 0.01
Subtract from 1:  1-0.01 = 0.99

Using a z-table (http://www.z-table.com) we see that this value is closest to a z-score of 2.33.

Using the z-score, our standard deviation (9) and our margin of error (3), we have:
n=(\frac{2.33(9)}{3})^2=(6.99)^2=48.86\approx 49

Just general definitons:

a TRInomial has 3 terms (tri means three)
a BInomial has 2 terms (bi means two)
a MONOmial has 1 term (mono means one)

the degree is the highest exponent found in the algebraic expression

so they should be pretty easy to solve with that information, but just in case:

1. trinomial, degree of 4
2. binomial, degree of 3
3. monomial, degree of 2

for the final question, all you have to do is plug in 2 for x, so

(2)^2 - 2(2) + 1

4 - 4 + 1

so the answer is 1

the length of one side of a square field is represented by the expression 3 - 7 x what is an expression for the perimeter of the
iragen [17]
4(3-7x). Since there are 4 sides in a square, you multiply one length by 4 to get the perimeter. 4(3-7x) simplifys to 12-28x.
