f(x)= -x^2 + x^-1

f(-2)= - (-2)^2 + (-2)^-1 = -4 - 1/2 = -9/2

f(-1)= - (-1)^2 + (-1)^-1 = -1 -1 = -2

f(1) = - (1)^2 + (1)^-1 = -1 +1 = 0

The range is { -9/2, -2, 0}

Answer:

x = $\frac{5}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start simplifying this equation by expanding the parenthesis and cross multiplying.

$(7^x)^4 = \frac{7^2 * 7^3}{7^{3x}} = \\\\\\7^{4x} = \frac{7^5}{7^{3x}}\\\\\\7^5 = 7^{7x}\\\\\\$

The exponent 5 and 7x are equal:

$\longmapsto$ Divide both sides by 7

$5 = 7x\\\\x = \frac57$

Approximately 52% of all recent births were boys. In a simple random sample of 100 recent births, 49 were boys and 51 were girls

Leni [432]

Answer:

Option A is right

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that approximately 52% of all recent births were boys. In a simple random sample of 100 recent births, 49 were boys and 51 were girls. The most likely explanation for the difference between the observed results and the expected results in this case is

A) variability due to sampling

-- True because there is a slight difference whichmay be due to sampling fluctuations.

B) bias

False because given that 100 random births selected

C) nonsampling error

False. There is no chance for systematic error here.

d) Confounding: There is no confounding variable present inchild birth since each is independent of the other

e) a sampling frame that is incomplete

False because the sampling is done correctly.
