Answer:
21
Step-by-step explanation:
Using<em> Simple Random Sampling</em>, we can estimate the sample size by the formula
where
n = sample size
Z = the z-score corresponding to the confidence level 99.5%
S = the assumed standard deviation = 3 seconds
e = margin of error = 2 seconds
<em>It is worth noticing that the higher the confidence level, the larger the sample should be.
</em>
The z-score corresponding to a confidence level of 99.5% can be obtained either with a table or the computer and equals
Z = 3.023
Replacing the values in our formula
So the size of the sample should be at least 21.
Answer:
y greater . ...3x-9
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey! :)
10y-3(y+5)
Distribute the -3.
-3*y= -3y -3*5= -15
10y-3y-15
7y-15
"A" is the answer.

Using polynomial long division, we get
3x^3+6x^2+11x
_____________
(x+2) | 3x^4-x^2+cx-2
-(3x^4+6x^3)
____________
6x^3-x^2+cx-2
- (6x^3+12x^2)
_____________
11x^2+cx-2
-(11x^2+22x)
__________
(22+c)x-2.
If you're wondering how I did the long division, what I essentially did was get the first value (at the start, it was 3x^4) and divided it by the first value of the divisor (which in x+2 was x) to get 3x^3 in our example. I then subtracted the polynomial by the whole divisor multiplied by, for example, 3x^3 and repeated the process.
For this to be a perfect factor, (x+2)*something must be equal to (22+c)x-2. Focusing on how to cancel out the 2, we have to add 2 to it. To add 2 to it, we have to multiply (x+2) by 1. However, there's a catch, which is that we subtract whatever we multiply (x+2) by, so we have to multiply it by -1 instead. We still need to cross out (22+c)x. Multiplying (x+2) by -1, we get
(-x-2) but by subtracting the whole thing from something means that we have to add -(-x-2)=x+2 to something to get 0. x+2-x-2=0, xo (22+c)x-2 must equal -x-2, meaning that (22+c)=-1 and c=-23
