The librarian was checking the thicknesses of several books and found that the average thickness of a book was 1.8 centimeters.

She found this by averaging the thicknesses of five different books. Four of the thicknesses were 1.4 cm, 1.9 cm, 2.1 cm, and 2.4 cm. What was the thickness of the fifth book that she measured?

Answer:

1.2 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

1.8 * 5 = 9

9 - (1.4 + 1.9 + 2.1 + 2.4) = 1.2

1.2 + 1.4 + 1.9 + 2.1 + 2.4 = 9

9/5 = 1.8

US average math SAT scores follow a normal distribution with a mean of 505 and a standard deviation of 112. A sample of 64 enter
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

The claim that the scores of UT students are less than the US average is wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Sample size = 64

           Standard deviation = 112

           Mean = 505

           Average score = 477

To Find : Test the claim that the scores of UT students are less than the US average at the 0.05 level of significance.

Solution:

Sample size = 64

n > 30

So we will use z test

H_0:\mu \geq 477\\H_a:\mu < 477

Formula : z=\frac{x-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

z=\frac{505-477}{\frac{112}{\sqrt{64}}}

z=2

Refer the z table for p value

p value = 0.9772

α=0.05

p value > α

So, we accept the null hypothesis

Hence The claim that the scores of UT students are less than the US average is wrong

Simplify the square root of 3 times the fifth root of 3.
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

<h2><em>Three to the three fifths power.</em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is

\sqrt{3\sqrt[5]{3} }

To simplify this expression, we have to use a specific power property which allow us to transform a root into a power with a fractional exponent, the property states:

\sqrt[n]{x^{m}}=x^{\frac{m}{n}}

Applying the property, we have:

\sqrt{3\sqrt[5]{3}}=\sqrt{3(3)^{\frac{1}{5}}}=(3(3)^{\frac{1}{5}})^{\frac{1}{2}}

Now, we multiply exponents:

(3(3)^{\frac{1}{5}})^{\frac{1}{2}}\\3^{\frac{1}{2}}3^{\frac{1}{10}}

Then, we sum exponents to get the simplest form:

3^{\frac{1}{2}}3^{\frac{1}{10}}=3^{\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{10}} =3^{\frac{10+2}{20}}=3^{\frac{12}{20}}  \\\therefore \sqrt{3\sqrt[5]{3}}=3^{\frac{3}{5} }

Therefore, the right answer is <em>three to the three fifths power.</em>
