Answer:

87.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

It decreased by 16 - 2 or 14, and since he wrote 16 tickets last week, the answer is 14/16 in percent form, or 7/8 = 87.5%.

What is the correct factorization of 5!?

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

B) 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

Step-by-step explanation:

When you see a ! directly next to a number (such as 5!), it means that you are multiplying starting from that number, and stepping down each time:

5! = 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1

For example, take factoral 10: 10!

10! = 10 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 3,628,800

In this case, you are multiplying 5!.

5! = 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = (20) * (6) * 1 = 120

5! = 120

The number of flaws per square yard in a type of carpet material varies with mean 1.4 flaws per square yard and standard deviati

oksian1 [2.3K]

According to the Central Limit Theorem, the distribution of the sample means is approximately normal, with the mean equal to the population mean (1.4 flaws per square yard) and standard deviation given by:
$\frac{\sigma}{ \sqrt{n} }=\frac{1.2}{ \sqrt{178} }=0.09$
The z-score for 1.5 flaws per square yard is:
$z=\frac{1.5-1.4}{0.09}=1.11$
The cumulative probability for a z-score of 1.11 is 0.8665. Therefore the probability that the mean number of flaws exceeds 1.5 per square yard is
1 - 0.8665 = 0.1335.

If s and t are integers greater than 1 and each is a factor of the integer n, which of the following must be a factor of n^{st}

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

E) 1 and 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that there are two integers (s and t) and they are factors of another integer (n). For example if s = 3 and t = 2, we can have n = 6.

Thus:

n^(st) = 6^(2*3) = 6^6 = (2^6)(3^6)

For the first condition: s^t = 3^2 is a factor of (2^6)(3^6)

For the second condition: (st)^2 = (3*2)^2 = 6^2 is a factor of 6^6

For the third condition: s+t = 3+2 = 5 is not a factor of 6^6 or (2^6)(3^6)

Therefore, only 1 and 2 are factors of n^(st)
