What are the degree and leading coefficient of the polynomial of 12u3 -8 + 23u

Mathematics

4 0

Answer:

Degree: 3

Leading Coefficient: 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the highest power to determine the degree, in this case it's 3. Then identify the term with the highest power (12u^3) to find the leading coefficient.

So, because 3 is the largest and only power in this equation, it is the degree. 12u^3 is the leading term (term containing the highest degree) and 12 is the coefficient attatched to the term. Hope that helped!

A researcher examines 27 water samples for iron concentration. The mean iron concentration for the sample data is 0.802 cc/cubic

Delvig [45]

Answer:

90% confidence interval for the population mean iron concentration is [0.771 , 0.832].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a researcher examines 27 water samples for iron concentration. The mean iron concentration for the sample data is 0.802 cc/cubic meter with a standard deviation of 0.093.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 90% confidence interval for the population mean iron concentration is given by;

P.Q. = $\frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ $t_n_-_1$

where, $\bar X$ = sample mean iron concentration = 0.802 cc/cubic meter

s = sample standard deviation = 0.093

n = number of water samples = 27

$\mu$ = population mean

Here for constructing 90% confidence interval we have used t statistics because we don't know about population standard deviation.

So, 90% confidence interval for the population mean, $\mu$ is ;

P(-1.706 < $t_2_6$ < 1.706) = 0.90 {As the critical value of t at 26 degree of

freedom are -1.706 & 1.706 with P = 5%}

P(-1.706 < $\frac{\bar X - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < 1.706) = 0.90

P( $-1.706 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ < ${\bar X - \mu}$ < $1.706 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ) = 0.90

P( $\bar X -1.706 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }$ < $\mu$ < $\bar X +1.706 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }$ ) = 0.90

90% confidence interval for $\mu$ = [ $\bar X -1.706 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }$ , $\bar X +1.706 \times {\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }$ ]

= [ $0.802 -1.706 \times {\frac{0.093}{\sqrt{27} }$ , $0.802 +1.706 \times {\frac{0.093}{\sqrt{27} }$ ]

= [0.771 , 0.832]

Therefore, 90% confidence interval for the population mean iron concentration is [0.771 , 0.832].

Select the correct answer. Twenty students in Class A and 20 students in Class B were asked how many hours they took to prepare

Lunna [17]

Answer:

B: The mean study time of students in Class B is less than students in Class A.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out why answer B is the right answer, I will give you facts from each option.

Option A is false. The mean study time in Class A is 4.8. Meanwhile in Class B it is 4. For Class A, sum up the 20 study times which is 96 and divide them by 20, you will get 4.8 hours of mean study time. For Class B, the sum of the 20 study times is 80, which divided by 20 will be 4.

Option B is True. See previous explanation.

Option C is False. The median study time in Class B is 4. The median study time in Class A is 4.8,

Option D is False. The range in Class A is from 2 to 8. The range in Class B is from 2 to 7.

Option E is False: The mean and median study time of these classes is different.

Paper clips are sold in boxes of 1000.

belka [17]

Answer:

6.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

1000 in a box and he orders 5 boxes.

1000x5= 5000

So he orders 5000 paper clips

1 box is £15.40 and he order 5, so £15.40x5= £77

£77 is between £55 and £79.99 so he will get 6.5% discount.

After the discount he will pay £71.99
