Answer:

a) 675 000

b) 685 000

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of a town is 680 000 correct to the nearest 10 000.

a) To find it lower bound, we level of accuracy by 2 and then subtract from 680 000

The lower bound is:

680 000-5000=675,000

Therefore the least possible population of the town is 675 000

b) We repeat the same process to find the upper bound

680 000+5000=685,000

A bucket of paint has spilled on a tile floor. The paint flow can be expressed with the function p(t) = 6t, where t represents t

alukav5142 [94]

P(t)=6t

A(p)=πp^2, since p(t)=6t

A(t)=π(p(t))^2

A(t)=π(6t)^2

A(t)=36πt^2, so when t=8 and approximating π≈3.14

A(8)≈36(3.14)(8^2)

A(8)≈36(3.14)64

A(8)≈7234.56 u^2

Identify the terms and like terms in the expression 14 – 8x– 6 - 10x.

grin007 [14]

Answer:

Like terms are similar and terms are different.

Like terms :-

-10
14
-6

They are similar.

Terms :-

-8x²
-10x

One has an exponent and other does not which means they are not like terms and are only terms.

Hope this helps, thank you :) !!

Toxaphene is an insecticide that has been identified as a pollutant in the Great Lakes ecosystem. To investigate the effect of t

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

This data suggest that there is more variability in low-dose weight gains than in control weight gains.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $\sigma_{1}^{2}$ be the variance for the population of weight gains for rats given a low dose, and $\sigma_{2}^{2}$ the variance for the population of weight gains for control rats whose diet did not include the insecticide.

We want to test $H_{0}: \sigma_{1}^{2} = \sigma_{2}^{2}$ vs $H_{1}: \sigma_{1}^{2} > \sigma_{2}^{2}$ . We have that the sample standard deviation for $n_{2} = 22$ female control rats was $s_{2} = 28$ g and for $n_{1} = 18$ female low-dose rats was $s_{1} = 51$ g. So, we have observed the value

$F = \frac{s_{1}^{2}}{s_{2}^{2}} = \frac{(51)^{2}}{(28)^{2}} = 3.3176$ which comes from a F distribution with $n_{1} - 1 = 18 - 1 = 17$ degrees of freedom (numerator) and $n_{2} - 1 = 22 - 1 = 21$ degrees of freedom (denominator).

As we want carry out a test of hypothesis at the significance level of 0.05, we should find the 95th quantile of the F distribution with 17 and 21 degrees of freedom, this value is 2.1389. The rejection region is given by {F > 2.1389}, because the observed value is 3.3176 > 2.1389, we reject the null hypothesis. So, this data suggest that there is more variability in low-dose weight gains than in control weight gains.
