Answer:

1.778 times more or 16/9 times more

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- Mirror 1: D_1 = 8''

- Mirror 2: D_2 = 6"

Find:

Compare the light gathering power of an 8" primary mirror with a 6" primary mirror. The 8" mirror has how much light gathering power?

Solution:

- The light gathering power of a mirror (LGP) is proportional to the Area of the objects:

                                           LGP ∝ A

- Whereas, Area is proportional to the squared of the diameter i.e an area of a circle:

                                           A ∝ D^2

- Hence,                              LGP ∝ D^2

- Now compare the two diameters given:

                                           LGP_1 ∝ (D_1)^2

                                           LGP ∝ (D_2)^2

- Take a ratio of both:

                           LGP_1/LGP_2 ∝ (D_1)^2 / (D_2)^2

- Plug in the values:

                               LGP_1/LGP_2 ∝ (8)^2 / (6)^2

- Compute:             LGP_1/LGP_2 ∝ 16/9 ≅ 1.778 times more

If your score on your next statistics test is converted to a z​ score, which of these z scores would you​ prefer: minus−​2.00, m
Gemiola [76]
The answer is z score of 2.00 is most desirable because it is 2.00 standard deviations beyond the mean and would agree to the highest of the five diverse likely test scores. In addition, the number of standard deviations that a given value x is above or below the mean is the z score or as called as standardized value. The negative z score agrees to an x value less than the mean while a positive z score agrees to an x value larger than the mean. The more negative the z score the more the x value is under the mean and the further positive the z score the more the x value is below the mean.
