Integers are whole numbers that are either positive or negative. Operation of signs is important when dealing with integers.
In this case, -3 and -2 are integers that are being added.
if we add -3 by -2 we get -6 because when a negative number is added to a negative number the negative sign does not change
thus, (-3)-2 = -5
I think its 9 because 9 times 2 is 18 9 times 6 is 54 and 9 times 8 is 72
Refer to the figure below.
Assume that there are n correct measurements

Because each measurement has an error of 0.2 in, the actual measurements are

From the figure, the analysis indicates that the correct mean is
μ = 3 in = 3*2.54 cm = 7.62 cm
The correct standard deviation is
2.934 in = 2.934*2.54 cm = 7.45 cm
Answer:
μ = 7.62 cm
σ = 7.45 cm
This is question of geometric sequence, equation of growth for this matter. The explicit formula for geometric sequence is given by:
a(n) = a(0)r^(n-1)
where;
a(n) = population after time "n"
a(0) = Initial population = 65
n = time = 5 weeks
r = common ratio = (100+30)% = 1.3
Substituting, beetles after 5 weeks will be;
a(5) = 65*1.3^(5-1) = 185.65 ≈ 186 beetles
