<span> A </span>ratio<span> compares values. A </span>ratio<span> says how much of one thing there is compared to another thing. We do as follows:

length of photo/ length of a carpenter bee = ratio of the two
13.5 / 6x10^-3 = 2250

Therefore, the photo is 2250 longer than the carpenter bee.</span>

In a sample of 42 water specimens taken from a construction site, 26 contained detectable levels of lead. Construct a 95% conden
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of water specimens that contain detectable levels of lead is (0.472,0.766).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

In a sample of 42 water specimens taken from a construction site, 26 contained detectable levels of lead.

This means that n = 42, \pi = \frac{26}{42} = 0.619

95% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.05, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.619 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.619*0.381}{42}} = 0.472

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.619 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.619*0.381}{42}} = 0.766

The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of water specimens that contain detectable levels of lead is (0.472,0.766).

Use the functions f(x)=7x3−3x2−x+14 f x = 7 x 3 - 3 x 2 - x + 14 and g(x)=2x3+2x+5 g x = 2 x 3 + 2 x + 5 as examples to show tha
Aneli [31]

Answer:

<h3>The given set of polynomials f(x) and g(x) are closed under subtraction.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the functions f ad g are defined by

f(x)=7x^3-3x^2-x+14 and g(x)=2x^3+2x+5 respectively.

<h3>To  show that the set of polynomials is closed under subtraction :</h3>

Now subtract the given polynomials

f(x)-g(x)=(f-g)(x)

=7x^3-3x^2-x+14-(2x^3+2x+5)

=7x^3-3x^2-x+14-2x^3-2x-5

=5x^3-3x^2-3x+9

∴ f(x)-g(x)=5x^3-3x^2-3x+9

  • When subtracting the polynomials the variables and their exponents remains same only variation in their coefficients.
<h3>Hence the given polynomials f(x) and g(x) are closed under subtraction.</h3>

∴ f(x)-g(x)=5x^3-3x^2-3x+9 are closed under subtraction,

Hence showed.

Westkost [7]

Answer:

1:2

Step-by-step explanation:

18 inches to 1 yard

We need to convert 1 yard to 36 inches

18 inches : 36 inches

Divide each side by 18

18/18 : 36/18

1:2

What are the values that make x^2 + bx + 64 a perfect square?
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

b = ±16

Step-by-step explanation:

Normally to find the number we add to make it a perfect square

We take the coefficient of x

b

Divide by 2

b/2

Then square it

(b/2) ^2

In this case, we are adding 64

(b/2) ^2 = 64

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((b/2) ^2) = sqrt(64)

b/2 = ±8

Multiply each side by 2

b/2*2 =  ±8 *2

b = ±16
