Equation Given: 3.56 x 10^-5

Simple Explanatio: Lets start with this 10^-5 since the exponents is a negative you must subtract the exponent from the base and after you do so this is what your left with -5 and now since we have done the work lets rewrite the answer as 3.56 x 10^-5 the equation may not be changed but that's how i was told to do it and now solve. The decimal in 3.56 will be moved to the left five times because this equation has an negative exponent not a positive so you should end up with the simple answer of 0.0000356

Hopefully this helps ^0^

Answer: .0000356

Step-by-step explanation:

3.56 x 10⁻⁵

the exponent of 5 tells you to move the decimal 5 places

the negative sign tells you to move the decimal to the left.

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

$n=(\frac{1.64(14.7)}{3})^2 =64.57 \approx 65$

So the answer for this case would be n=65 rounded up to the nearest integer

And the sample size would decrease by 160-65=95 subjects

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s represent the sample standard deviation

n represent the sample size

ME represent the margin of error

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

2) Solution to the problem

Since the new Confidence is 0.90 or 90%, the value of $\alpha=0.1$ and $\alpha/2 =0.05$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.05,0,1)".And we see that $z_{\alpha/2}=1.64$

Assuming that the deviation is known we can express the margin of error is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ (a)

And on this case we have that ME =\pm 3 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

$n=(\frac{z_{\alpha/2} \sigma}{ME})^2$ (b)

Replacing into formula (b) we got:

$n=(\frac{1.64(14.7)}{3})^2 =64.57 \approx 65$

So the answer for this case would be n=65 rounded up to the nearest integer

And the sample size would decrease by 160-65=95 subjects

What's the next number 2 7 8 3 12 9

puteri [66]

The correct answer is:

Explanation:

Taking these numbers as groups of three, we have 2, 7, 8; 3, 12, 9.

In the first group, we can see that we first add 5 and then add 1.

The next group seems to start from the next consecutive number. That is, the first group starts with 2, and the next group starts with 3. The next terms in the second group are found by adding 5 to the second term of the first group (12 = 7+5) and then adding 1 to the third term of the first group (9=8+1); this is because we added 5 and added 1 previously.

Following this pattern, the next group of three would start from the next consecutive number up, 4. The next two terms would be 17 (12+5=17) and 10 (9+1=10).

If you ride your bike 12 miles per hour, how long would it take you to travel 72 miles ?

poizon [28]

Answer:

It would take 6 hours for you to travel 72 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by a simple rule of three.

We have that:

Each hour, you ride 12 miles.

How many hours will take for you to travel 72 miles?

So:

1 hour - 12 miles

x hours - 72 miles

12x = 72

x = 72/12

x = 6

It would take 6 hours for you to travel 72 miles.
