Answer:

The sample size is  n  = 87

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The standard deviation is  \sigma  =  0.04 \  inches

       The  precision is d =  \pm  0.005 \ inches

        The confidence level is C =98%

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as  

        n  =  \frac{ Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } ^2*  \alpha^2 }{d^2}

Where  \alpha  is the level of significance which is mathematically evaluated as

        \alpha  =  100 - 98

        \alpha  =  2%

        \alpha  = 0.02

and  Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } is the critical value of \alpha which is obtained from the normal distribution table as  2.326

  substituting values

         n  =  \frac{2.326 ^2*  0.02^2 }{0.005^2}

        n  = 87

Answer:

y= 3/5x+ 6.2

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope is change in y over change in x.

-4-(-1) divided by 3-8 will be -3/-5 = 3/5

For the y-intercept, plug in x and y values. I will use (3,8).

8= 3/5(3)+b

8= 9/5+b

(subtract 9/5 from both sides)= 6 and 1/5 or 6.2 as a decimal.

The _____ justifies the conclusion that ∆ABD ≅ ∆AEC.
elena55 [62]
It is the AAS Postulate.

Explanation: You’re given two right angles (because perpendicular sides make right angles).

This also means that the angle next to them are also right angles, because they are linear pairs (180-90=90)

The right angles are:
This is your first A.

Both triangles also share a similar angle:
This is your second A.

You’re given side BD is congruent to EC.

This is your S.

It’s AAS and not ASA because the order refers to how they are connected: they are congruent in the order that the first set of congruent angles connect to the next, then to the congruent side.

Twin Primes Conjecture A natural number is called a prime number if it has exactly two factors, 1 and itself. 1 is not a prime n
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

See explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The prime numbers are bold:

1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  10  11 12  13  14  15  16  17

18  19  20  21  22  23  24  25  26  27  28  29  30  31

a) We can see that as we go higher, twin primes seem less frequent but even considering that, there is an infinite number of twin primes. If you go high enough you will still eventually find a prime that is separated from the next prime number by just one composite number.

b) I think it's interesting the amount of time that has been devoted to prove this conjecture and the amount of mathematicians who have been involved in this. One of the most interesting facts was that in 2004 a purported proof (by R. F. Arenstorf) of the conjecture was published but a serious error was found on it so the conjecture remains open.
