Answer:

c. There is no difference in the length between male and female babies

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

If I understood correctly, the interval [-0.2;1.7] was constructed to estimate the difference between the population mean of the length of male babies at birth(μ₁) and the population mean of the length of female babies at birth (μ₂).

Estimated parameter: μ₁-μ₂

To make a desition using an interval your hypothesis must be two-tailed,

H₀: μ₁-μ₂ = 0

H₁: μ₁-μ₂ ≠ 0

The level of significance should be complementary to the confidence level of the interval. (For example, if the interval was constructed at 1 - α: 0.9, the test should have a level of α: 0.10)

Remember the Confidence interval is an estimation of the real value of μ₁-μ₂, so, under the null hypothesis you can say that:

If the interval contains the 0, then you don't reject the null hypothesis.

If the interval doesn't contain the 0, you reject the null hypothesis.

So since 0 is contained in the confidence interval, you support the null hypothesis, in other words, there is enough information to say that there is no difference between the average length of male and female babies at birth.

I hope it helps!

Which polynomial expression represents a sum of cubes? (6 – s)(s2 + 6s + 36) (6 + s)(s2 – 6s – 36) (6 + s)(s2 – 6s + 36) (6 + s)
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Option 3 is correct that is (6+s)(s^2-6s+36)

Step-by-step explanation:

 We have general formula for sum of cube which is

a^3+b^3=(a+b)(a^2+b^2-ab)

Here, we have a=s and b=6

on substituting the values in the formula we will get

6^3+s^3=(6+s)(s^2+6^2-6s)

After simplification we will get

6^3+s^3=(6+s)(s^2+36-6s)

After rearranging the terms we will get

6^3+s^3=(6+s)(s^2-6s+36) which exactly matches option 3 in the given options.

Therefore, option 3 is correct that is (6+s)(s^2-6s+36)

How can you use a strip diagram to convert 136 ounces into cups
matrenka [14]
Strip diagram is a tool that is used to be able to solve the given problem accurately.
I will show you how to do it.
we have 136 ounces that needs to be convert to  cups
1 ounce = 0.125 cup
In 1 cup = 8 ounce 
136 ounces / 8 cups = 17 cups

In a certain region, about 6% of a city's population moves to the surrounding suburbs each year, and about 4% of the suburban po
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

City @ 2017 = 8,920,800

Suburbs @ 2017 = 1, 897, 200

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:

- Let p_c be the population in the city ( in a given year ) and p_s is the population in the suburbs ( in a given year ) . The first sentence tell us that populations p_c' and p_s' for next year would be:

                                  0.94*p_c + 0.04*p_s = p_c'

                                  0.06*p_c + 0.96*p_s = p_s'

- Assuming 6% moved while remaining 94% remained settled at the time of migrations.

- The matrix representation is as follows:

                         \left[\begin{array}{cc}0.94&0.04\\0.06&0.96\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{c}p_c\\p_s\end{array}\right] =  \left[\begin{array}{c}p_c'\\p_s'\end{array}\right]          

- In the sequence for where x_k denotes population of kth year and x_k+1 denotes population of x_k+1 year. We have:

                         \left[\begin{array}{cc}0.94&0.04\\0.06&0.96\end{array}\right] x_k = x_k_+_1

- Let x_o be the populations defined given as 10,000,000 and 800,000 respectively for city and suburbs. We will have a population x_1 as a vector for year 2016 as follows:

                          \left[\begin{array}{cc}0.94&0.04\\0.06&0.96\end{array}\right] x_o = x_1

- To get the population in year 2017 we will multiply the migration matrix to the population vector x_1 in 2016 to obtain x_2.

                          x_2 = \left[\begin{array}{cc}0.94&0.04\\0.06&0.96\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{cc}0.94&0.04\\0.06&0.96\end{array}\right] x_o

- Where,

                         x_o =  \left[\begin{array}{c}10,000,000\\800,000\end{array}\right]

- The population in 2017 x_2 would be:

                         x_2 = \left[\begin{array}{cc}0.94&0.04\\0.06&0.96\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{cc}0.94&0.04\\0.06&0.96\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{c}10,000,000\\800,000\end{array}\right] \\\\\\x_2 = \left[\begin{array}{c}8,920,800\\1,879,200\end{array}\right]

40 points 1. Write a two-column proof for the following conjecture. You may not need to use all of the rows of the two-column ta
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

by looking at the given image...

the shape ABCD is a parallelogram.

<u>Required:</u>

is to prove ∡A and ∡B are supplementary

and ∡C and ∡D are supplementary.

so, m∠A + m∠B = 180°

and m∠C + m∠D = 180°

<u><em>the  Statement  </em></u>  

1. ABCD is a parallelogram                

<em><u>the reason is..</u></em><em>    </em>

It is Given!

<u><em>the  Statement  </em></u>

2.m∠A=m∠C and m∠B=m∠D        

<em><u>the reason is..</u></em><em> </em>

Definition of parallelogram.

<u><em>the  Statement  </em></u>

3.m∠A+m∠B+m∠C+m∠D=360°    

<em><u>the reason is..</u></em><em> </em>

Definition of quadrilateral

<u><em>the  Statement  </em></u>

4. m∠A+m∠B+m∠A+m∠B=360°    

<em><u>the reason is..</u></em><em> </em>

By substitution

⇒ 2( m∠A + m∠B ) = 360°

⇒ m∠A + m∠B = 180°

it is also similar  m∠C + m∠D = 180°

<u><em>the  Statement  </em></u>

5.∠A and ∠C are supplementary

<em><u>the reason is..</u></em><em> </em>

by the definition of Supplementary   ∠ B and ∠D are supplementary

Hope it helps!

Can anybody tell me what is a stem-and-leaf plot and a example
zhannawk [14.2K]

The following examples provide some practice with stem-and-leaf plots, as well as explaining some details of formatting, and showing how to create a "key" for your plot.

<span> Subjects in a psychological study were timed while completing a certain task. Complete a stem-and-leaf plot for the following list of times: </span>

7.6,  8.1,  9.2,  6.8,  5.9,  6.2,  6.1,  5.8,  7.3,  8.1,  8.8,  7.4,  7.7,  8.2

The first thing I'll do is reorder this list. It isn't required, but it surely makes life easier. My ordered list is:

5.8,  5.9,  6.1,  6.2,  6.8,  7.3,  7.4,  7.6,  7.7,  8.1,  8.1,  8.2,  8.8,  9.2

These values have one decimal place, but the stem-and-leaf plot makes no accomodation for this. The stem-and-leaf plot only looks at the last digit (for the leaves) and all the digits before (for the stem). So I'll have to put a "key" or "legend" on this plot to show what I mean by the numbers in this plot. The ones digits will be the stem values, and the tenths will be the leaves.
