If a number has a negative exponent, it goes to the bottom of a fraction as a denominator
5^2 = 1/5^2

What is the surface area?????

Elenna [48]

The area of a triangle is found using the formula Area = 1/2 x base x height.

Base = 8

Height = 18.

The area of 1 triangle = 1/2 x 8 x 18 = 72 square units.

There are a total of 4 sides, so total area = 72 x 4 = 288 units ^2

The claim is that the white blood cell counts of adult females are normally? distributed, with a standard deviation equal to 1.6

antiseptic1488 [7]

From the question, we know the population standard deviation, σ = 1.63, the sample standard deviation, s = 3.07, the sample mean, $\bar{x}=7.43$ and the sample size, n = 38.

The question illustrates a hypothesis chi-square test of variance.

The test statistics for a Chi-squared test of variance is given by
$T=(n-1)\left( \frac{s}{\sigma} \right)^2 \\ \\ =(38-1)\left( \frac{3.07}{1.63} \right)^2 \\ \\ =37(1.883)^2=37(3.5473) \\ \\ =131.25$
