Answer:

1024/59049, 1.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to do it would to be simply multiply 2/3 by itself 10 times

2/3 x 2/3 x 2/3 x 2/3 and so on

That would be a really long equation so instead we can use exponents to shorten it. We can simply just do 2^10/3^10

2^10=1024

3^10=59049

Answer:

1024/59049

Step-by-step explanation:

P( clear hurdle) = 2/3

There are 10 hurdles

P ( clear all hurdles) = P( clear hurdle) * P( clear hurdle)...... 10 times

                                 = 2/3 * 2/3 *....... 10 times

                                  = (2/3) ^ 10

                                  =1024/59049

The average annual premium for automobile insurance in the United States is $1411. A representative sample of annual premiums fo
Harrizon [31]

Using confidence interval concepts, it is found that:

a) The point estimate is the sample mean.

b) The confidence interval is: \overline{x} \pm T\frac{s}{n}

c) If $1411 is between the bounds of the interval yes, otherwise no.

--------------

  • At item a, it asks to provide a point estimate for the population mean, which is the sample mean \overline{x}

--------------

Item b:

  • In the spreadsheet, it is possible to find the <em>standard deviation for the sample</em>, thus, the t-distribution is used.
  • The confidence interval will be given by:

\overline{x} \pm T\frac{s}{n}

In which:

  • \overline{x} is the sample mean.
  • T is the critical value, from the t-distribution, with a two-tailed area of \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025 and n-1 degrees of freedom.
  • s is the standard deviation for the sample.
  • n is the sample size.

--------------

Item c:

We have to check if 1411 is between \overline{x} - T\frac{s}{n} and \overline{x} +T\frac{s}{n}.

  • If it is, the interval includes the National Average, otherwise, it does not.

Helppp meeeeeeee plsssssss you got till nine

Answer:

3/20 of the cover page is text about endangered species.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 3/8th of the page is text, and 2/5ths of that text is about endangered species.

So all we have to do is find out how much 2/5ths of 3/8ths are, which can be done simply via fraction multiplication.

3/8 * 2/5 = ?

For multiplying fractions, we multiply the top parts together, and then the bottom parts together. So 3/ 8 * 2/5 would be equal to (3*2) / (8*5). This gives us 6 / 40 which can be simplified to 3/20.

So 3/20ths of the cover page is about endangered animals.
