Answer:

Second step x( x +5 ) -8 (x+ 5 ) in process of factoring .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Trinomial x²-3x-40 .

To find : The second step in the process for factoring .

Solution : We have x²-3x-40 .

On factoring x²+ 5x - 8x - 40 .

Taking common x from first two terms and -8 from last two terms.

x( x +5 ) -8 (x+ 5 ) .

Therefore , Second step x( x +5 ) -8 (x+ 5 ) in process of factoring .

A market surveyor wishes to know how many energy drinks teenagers drink each week. They want to construct a 98% confidence inter

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

The minimum sample size required to create the specified confidence interval is 1024.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1-0.98}{2} = 0.01$

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of $1-\alpha$ .

So it is z with a pvalue of $1-0.01 = 0.99$ , so $z = 2.327$

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

What is the minimum sample size required to create the specified confidence interval

This is n when $M = 0.08, \sigma = \sqrt{1.21} = 1.1$ .

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$0.08 = 2.327*\frac{1.1}{\sqrt{n}}$

$0.08\sqrt{n} = 2.327*1.1$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{2.327*1.1}{0.08}$

$(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{2.327*1.1}{0.08})^{2}$

$n = 1024$

The minimum sample size required to create the specified confidence interval is 1024.

After you multiply a number by 9 and subtract the product from 300, the difference will be 183. Find the number.

KatRina [158]

Answer: 117

Step-by-step explanation:

All you need to do is 300-183

This is because you know 300-x(your missing number)=183

With communitive property, just switch the problem up and then get your answer!
