Answer:

$4.5\ yd$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

we know that

Jeremy uses 27 inches of board for each birdhouse

by proportion

Calculate how many inches of board does he need to make 6 birdhouses

$\frac{27}{1}\frac{in}{birdhouses}=\frac{x}{6}\frac{in}{birdhouses} \\ \\x=6*27\\ \\x=162\ in$

step 2

Convert inches to yards

$1\ yd =36\ in$

$162\ in=162/36=4.5\ yd$

A study of peach trees found that the average number of peaches per tree was 725. The standard deviation of the population is 70

TEA [102]

Answer:

She needs to sample 189 trees.

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:

$\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025$

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

That is z with a pvalue of $1 - 0.025 = 0.975$ , so Z = 1.96.

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.

The standard deviation of the population is 70 peaches per tree.

This means that $\sigma = 70$

How many trees does she need to sample to obtain an average accurate to within 10 peaches per tree?

She needs to sample n trees.

n is found when M = 10. So

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

$10 = 1.96\frac{70}{\sqrt{n}}$

$10\sqrt{n} = 1.96*70$

Dividing both sides by 10:

$\sqrt{n} = 1.96*7$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = (1.96*7)^2$

$n = 188.2$

Rounding up:

She needs to sample 189 trees.

Which shows how to find the value of this expression when x=-2 and y=5? <br> (3x^3y^-2)2

Gnoma [55]

Put x = -2 and y = 5 to the expression.

$(3x^3y^{-2})^2$

$\left[3\cdot(-2)^3(5)^{-2}\right]^2=\left[3(-8)\cdot\dfrac{1}{5^2}\right]^2=\left(-24\cdot\dfrac{1}{25}\right)^2=\left(-\dfrac{24}{25}\right)^2\\\\=\dfrac{24^2}{25^2}=\dfrac{576}{625}$

explanation

$(-2)^3=(-2)(-2)(-2)=-8\\\\a^{-n}=\dfrac{1}{a^n}\to5^{-2}=\dfrac{1}{5^2}=\dfrac{1}{(5)(5)}=\dfrac{1}{25}\\\\a^2\geq0\ \text{for any real number}\to\left(-\dfrac{24}{25}\right)^2=\left(\dfrac{24}{25}\right)^2\\\\\left(\dfrac{a}{b}\right)^2=\dfrac{a^2}{b^2}\to\left(\dfrac{24}{25}\right)^2=\dfrac{24^2}{25^2}=\dfrac{(24)(24)}{(25)(25)}=\dfrac{576}{625}$
