A) The answer is 9.3 * 10⁷ mi

First, represent the number as the product of a number in the range 1 up to 10 and a number divisible by 10:
93,000,000 mi = 9.3 * 10,000,000 mi

10,000,000 = 10 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10 = 10⁷

 93,000,000 mi = 9.3 * 10,000,000 mi = 9.3 * 10⁷ mi


b) The answer is 4 * 10⁻² in

Represent the number as the product of a number in the range 1 up to 10 and a number divisible by 10.
0.04 in = 4 * 0.01 in

0.01 = 10⁻²

0.04 in = 4 * 0.01 in = 4 * 10⁻² in


c) The distance to the sun in inches is  5,892,480,000,000 in

1 mi = 63,360 in
93,000,000 mi = 93,000,000 * 63,360 in = 5,892,480,000,000 in

<span>How many fireflies would it take to reach the sun if they were put end to end:

x - number of fireflies
x * 0.04 in = </span>5,892,480,000,000 in
x = 5,892,480,000,000 in / 0.04 in

A survey found that in a sample of 75 families, 26 owned dogs. A survey done 15 years ago found that in a sample of 60 families,
statuscvo [17]

The difference in the proportions of both surveys goes from a maximum of 12.57% to a minimum of 4.76%.

Given that a survey found that in a sample of 75 families, 26 owned dogs, while a survey done 15 years ago found that in a sample of 60 families, 26 owned dogs, to find the 95% confidence intervals of the true difference in the proportions, the following calculation must be performed:

  • 75 = 100
  • 26 = X
  • 26 x 100/75 = X
  • 34.66 = X
  • 34.66 x 0.95 = 32.93
  • 34.66 x 1.05 = 36.40
  • 60 = 100
  • 26 = X
  • 26 x 100/60 = X
  • 43.33 = X
  • 43.33 x 0.95 = 41.16
  • 43.33 x 1.05 = 45.50
  • 45.50 - 32.93 = 12.57
  • 41.16 - 36.40 = 4.76

Therefore, the difference in the proportions of both surveys goes from a maximum of 12.57% to a minimum of 4.76%.

Keisha is reading a 310 page book at a rate of 23 pages per day.Use a point-slope equation to determine how many pages she will
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

80 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

Point slope Equation is :

y = mx + c

In the above question

y = 310 pages

x = number of days = 10 days

m= 23 pages per day

c = ?? Unknown

c = y - mx

c = 310 - 23 × 10

c = 310 - 230

c = 80 pages

She will still have 80 pages left to read after 10 days
