A researcher conducted a study of the access speed of 40 hard drives and concluded that his maximum error of estimate was 15. If

he were to conduct a second study to reduce the maximum error of estimate to 5, about how many hard drives should he include in his new sample?

Answer:

About 13 hard drives

Explanation:

Using the rule of three, if studying the access speed of 40 hard drives gives the maximum estimate error of 15, then we multiply 5 (which is the number of estimates that are sought in a second attempt) by 40 hard drives divided by 15 as maximum estimate number. We get a total of 13.33,<em> therefore we would need an approximate of 13 hard drives to reduce the maximum estimation error to 5.</em>

  40 hard drives   ---- 15  

13.33 hard drives ---- 5

(40 * 5) / 15 = 13.33 hard drives

As this society moves up its production possibility​ frontier, producing more and more units of​ donuts, the opportunity cost of
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

C. increases.                        

Explanation:

             When there are more than one choices or alternatives and we choose one alternative among them, then the loss of the potential gain associated with the other alternatives when one choice is taken is known as opportunity cost.

            A production possibility​ frontier is a curve or graph that shows the various amounts of any two products which can be produced when both the products depends on same finite source.

            In the context, a society produces two products namely, beer and donuts. As the production possibility​ frontier moves up, producing more donuts by the society increases the opportunity cost for producing beer as the society produces both donuts as well as beer.

Hence the correct option is (C).

When a nonvolatile solute is added to a volatile solvent, the solution vapor pressure __________, the boiling point __________,
UNO [17]

Answer: the filled in options are(from up to down): decreases; increases; decreases and increases

Explanation:

Ok, let us first full in the gap from the question;

''When a nonvolatile solute is added to a volatile solvent, the solution vapor pressure DECREASES, the boiling point INCREASES, the freezing point DECREASES, and the osmotic pressure across a semipermeable membrane INCREASES.

First, volatility is the tendency of a substance to vaporize.

WHAT IS A NON VOLATILE SOLUTE/SUBSTANCE ?:

A non volatile solute will not produce vapour at the boiling point of a particular solution. It is a solute that has low vapour pressure. This property, that is, a low vapour pressure will cause an increase in the boiling point. An example is glucose.

Non volatile solute, apart from increament in boiling point called boiling point elevation, it also decreases freezing point called freezing point depression.

Also, colligative properties such as osmotic pressure increases.
