Thea has a key on her calculator marked $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$. If an integer is displayed, pressing the $\textcolor

{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key chops off the first digit and moves it to the end. For example, if $6138$ is on the screen, then pressing the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key changes the display to $1386$. Thea enters a positive integer into her calculator, then squares it, then presses the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key, then squares the result, then presses the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key again. After all these steps, the calculator displays $243$. What number did Thea originally enter?

Answer:

$9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Thea enters a positive integer into her calculator, then squares it, then presses the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key, then squares the result, then presses the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key again such that the calculator displays final number as $243$.

To find: number that Thea originally entered

Solution:

The final number is $243$.

As previously the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key was pressed,

the number before $243$ must be $324$.

As previously the number was squared, so the number before $324$ must be $18$.

As previously the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key was pressed,

the number before $18$ must be $81$

As previously the number was squared, so the number before $81$ must be $9$.

Answer:

Confidence Interval: (21596,46428)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following data set:

10520, 56910, 52454, 17902, 25914, 56607, 21861, 25039, 25983, 46929

Formula:

\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{\sum (x_i -\bar{x})^2}{n-1}}  

where x_i are data points, \bar{x} is the mean and n is the number of observations.  

Mean = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}

Mean =\displaystyle\frac{340119}{10} = 34011.9

Sum of squares of differences = 551869365.6 + 524322983.6 + 340111052.4 + 259528878 + 65575984.41 + 510538544 + 147644370.8 + 80512934.41 + 64463235.21 + 166851472.4 = 2711418821

S.D = \sqrt{\frac{2711418821}{9}} = 17357.09

Confidence interval:

\mu \pm t_{critical}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Putting the values, we get,

t_{critical}\text{ at degree of freedom 9 and}~\alpha_{0.05} = \pm 2.2621

34011.9 \pm 2.2621(\frac{17357.09}{\sqrt{10}} ) = 34011.9 \pm 12416.20 = (21595.7,46428.1) \approx (21596,46428)

Craig ran 4 days last week. His distances were
elixir [45]
6.875 average.

To calculate the average you add up all of the numbers and divide it by the number of numbers there are, in this case there are 4 numbers. So you add 3.25+6.5+7.25+10.5 and divide that by 4

Jose stores his baseball cards in a box like the one shown
TEA [102]
The formula for volume (V) is <em>l * w * h</em>, where <em>l</em> is length, <em>w</em> is width, and <em>h</em> is height. So in a sense, we have already solved the first part of this problem!

V = 10 * 8 * 3

Now, all we have to do is complete this equation to find the volume.

10 * 8 = 80

80 * 3 = 240

The volume of Jose's box for baseball cards is 240 cubic inches.
Hope that helped! =)
