Answer:

Correct choice is C

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be unknown number.

Three times a number x is $3\cdot x=3x.$

Three times a number is no less than negative six means that the number $3x$ can be equal to -6, can be greater than -6, but cannot be less than -6.

Thus, the inequality that could be used to solve the problem is

$3x\ge -6.$

Use the properties of exponents to simplify the expression: y^(y3)2

iren [92.7K]

because y^3 is raised to the power of two, we will have to multiply the exponents rather than adding them.

By distributing the power of 2, we will get y^2(6).

Because now the exponents are being multiplied, we can just add them to get y^8. The other y has a power of 1, so we'll just add the power of that y as well to get y^9.

summary:

multiply exponents if they are being raised to a power.

add exponents if they are being multiplied, and only add them if they have the same base (in this case, both the bases of the exponents are y, so we can add them)

A study conducted at a certain high school shows that 72% of its graduates enroll at a college. Find the probability that among

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

$P(X \geq 1) =1-P(X$

And we can use the probability mass function and we got:

$P(X=0)=(4C0)(0.72)^0 (1-0.72)^{4-0}=0.00615$

And replacing we got:

$P(X \geq 1) = 1-0.00615 = 0.99385$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable of interest "number of graduates who enroll in college", on this case we now that:

$X \sim Binom(n=4, p=0.72)$

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:

$P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}$

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:

$nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}$

We want to find the following probability:

$P(X \geq 1)$

And we can use the complement rule and we got:

$P(X \geq 1) =1-P(X$

And we can use the probability mass function and we got:

$P(X=0)=(4C0)(0.72)^0 (1-0.72)^{4-0}=0.00615$

And replacing we got:

$P(X \geq 1) = 1-0.00615 = 0.99385$

A research group needs to determine a 90% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for all car insurance small claims. From

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

a) $z = 1.645$

b) The should sample at least 293 small claims.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1-0.9}{2} = 0.05$

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of $1-\alpha$ .

So it is z with a pvalue of $1-0.05 = 0.95$ , so $z = 1.645$ , which means that the answer of question a is z = 1.645.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

(b) If the group wants their estimate to have a maximum error of $12, how many small claims should they sample?

They should sample at least n small claims, in which n is found when

$M = 12, \sigma = 124.88$ . So

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$12 = 1.645*\frac{124.88}{\sqrt{n}}$

$12\sqrt{n} = 205.43$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{205.43}{12}$

$\sqrt{n} = 17.12$

$\sqrt{n}^{2} = (17.12)^{2}$

$n = 293$

The should sample at least 293 small claims.

Please help me solve this

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

$0.75 per lemon

Step-by-step explanation:

Express the ratio on the left as a decimal:

$3/(4 lemons) = $?/lemon

0.75 $/lemon = ? $/lemon

0.75 = ?

The unit rate is $0.75 per lemon.
