Answer:

2.4×10^6

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the numbers where the variables are and do the arithmetic. You can enter the numbers in scientific notation into your (scientific) calculator and have it show you the result in the same format.

r = (3.8×10^5)^2/(5.9×10^4) . . . . . denominator parentheses are required

Please note that in the above expression, parentheses are required around the denominator number. This is because it is a product of two numbers. In your pocket calculator or spreadsheet, you can enter that value as a single number (not a product). Parentheses are not required when you can do that.

r = (3.8²/5.9)×10^(5·2-4) ≈ 2.4×10^6

___

The "exact" value is a repeating decimal with a long repeat. We have rounded to 2 significant digits here because the input numbers have that number of significant digits.

Answer:

The length of side x is $x = \sqrt{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean Theorem:

In a right triangle, with sides a and b, and hypothenuse h, we have that:

$a^2 + b^2 = h^2$

In this question:

The vertical line on the sides means that both are equal, that is, measuring x, so $a = b = x$ .

Hypothenuse is the square root of 12. So $h = \sqrt{12}$

$x^2 + x^2 = (\sqrt{12})^2$

$2x^2 = 12$

$x^2 = \frac{12}{2}$

$x^2 = 6$

$x = \sqrt{6}$

The length of side x is $x = \sqrt{6}$

Rudik [331]

You have a 2/9 chance of it being white. It is how many of that color or number over the total, so you have a 2/9 chance of it being white.

Find f (2b^2) for (x)=x^2-4x

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the function:

$f(x) = x^2 - 4x$

And we want to find:

$\displaystyle f(2b^2)$

Substitute:

$\displaystyle f(2b^2) =(2b^2)^2 -4(2b^2)$

And evaluate:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} f(2b^2) &=(2b^2)^2 -4(2b^2) \\ &=(4b^4) +(-8b^2) \\ &= 4b^4 - 8b^2 \end{aligned}$

In conclusion, our answer is A.

Select all of the following statements that are true:

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

B. You shouldnt take a random sample of more than 5% of the population size.

Step-by-step explanation:

B. You shouldnt take a random sample of more than 5% of the population size. This is True, so as to avoid the research analysis to be more complex to interpret and analyzed

However, the following are not true statements:

A. Random samples only generate unbiased estimates of long-run proportions, not long-run means. This is False, as there may be sampling error, when picking the sample, which will lead to bias estimates in the long run proportions

C. There is no way that a random sample of 100 people can be representative of all adults living in the United States. This is False, as using the right factors such as gender, age, income, etc, in selecting the sample, 100 people is enough to use as sample of adults living in the United States

D. If this question is voted out, the alternate option is "larger samples are always better than smaller samples, regardless of how the sample was collected." This is False, larger samples are not always better than smaller samples. In fact, they are often difficult to analyze and interpret.

E. Nonrandom samples are always poor representations of the population: This is False, depending on the expected outcome of the research study. Some research studies required the research to use Nonrandom samples to reach verifiable conclusion.
