The magnitude of an earthquake that is 35 more times intense than a standard earthquake is 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

I be the intensity for which we have to find magnitude

S is the standard intensity of earthquake

And

M is the magnitude

The intensity of standard earthquake is 10.

$35\ times\ of\ 10 = 35*350 =350\\I=350$

The formula for magnitude is:

$M= log \frac{I}{S}\\Putting\ values\\M= log \frac{350}{10}\\M = log\ 35\\M = 1.544\\M= 1.5$

The magnitude of an earthquake that is 35 more times intense than a standard earthquake is 1.5

A researcher plans to conduct a significance test at the 0.01 significance level. She designs her study to have a power of 0.90

Rasek [7]

Answer: 0.10

Step-by-step explanation: The type 2 error is committed when the alternative hypothesis is rejected when it should have been accepted causing the researcher to accept the null hypothesis which is false.

Power is the probability of avoiding a type 2 error. That is ;

Power = 1 - P(type 2 error)

Given that power = 0.90 ; P(type 2 error) = probability of committing a type 2 error.

P(type 2 error)' = 1 - P(type 2 error) = Probability of not committing or avoiding a type 2 error

0.90 = 1 - P(type 2 error)

P(type 2 error) = 1 - 0.90

P(type 2 error) = 0.10

Find the area of a regular polygon with 7 sides that has a side length of 6 inches and an apothem of 8 inches

alukav5142 [94]

We can always split a regular polygon with $n$ sides into $n$ triangles, whose base is the side of the polygon and whose height is the apothem of the polygon. So, the sum of the areas of all these triangles is

$A=n\times \dfrac{s\cdot a}{2}$

where $n$ is the number of sides, $s$ is the side length, and $a$ is the apothem length.

So, you just need to plug you values in: in your case, you have $n=7,\ s=6,\ a=8$

So, the formula becomes

$A=7\times \dfrac{6\cdot 8}{2} = 7 \times 6\cdot 4 = 168$

Need help asap this is really important

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

y = $\frac{4}{3}$ $x$ $-7$

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the points (9, 5) and (6, 1) to identify the slope of the graph

$m$ = $\frac{y^2-y^1}{x^2-x^1}$

m = $\frac{1-5}{6-9}$

m = $\frac{-4}{-3}$

m = $\frac{4}{3}$

The y-intercept is -7 because -7 touches y axis causing it to be the y-intercept
