188 Meters (m) = yards (yds).

Factor the expression using the GCF.<br> 60 – 36 =

Ivanshal [37]

Answer

12 (5 - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The greatest common factor is the largest number that will divide both numbers evenly. As an example, 6 is a common factor because it divides both 60 and 36. However, it is not the greatest common factor.

If I break 60 into it's prime factors, I would get 2 * 2 * 3 * 5.

If I break 36 into it's prime factors, I would get 2 * 2 * 3 * 3.

The two number have the factors, 2, 2, and 3 in common.

The greatest common factor is then: 2 * 2 * 3, or 12.

The expression can be factored as: 12 ( 5 - 3)

A researcher reports survey results by stating that the standard error of the mean is 25 the population standard deviation is 40

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

a) A sample of 256 was used in this survey.

b) 45.14% probability that the point estimate was within ±15 of the population mean

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is solved using the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

a. How large was the sample used in this survey?

We have that $s = 25, \sigma = 400$ . We want to find n, so:

$s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$25 = \frac{400}{\sqrt{n}}$

$25\sqrt{n} = 400$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{400}{25}$

$\sqrt{n} = 16$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = 16^2[tex][tex]n = 256$

A sample of 256 was used in this survey.

b. What is the probability that the point estimate was within ±15 of the population mean?

15 is the bounds with want, 25 is the standard error. So

Z = 15/25 = 0.6 has a pvalue of 0.7257

Z = -15/25 = -0.6 has a pvalue of 0.2743

0.7257 - 0.2743 = 0.4514

45.14% probability that the point estimate was within ±15 of the population mean

Only thing I need to know is what to do for the x on y = x + 3 and y = x

Ronch [10]

Answer:

Think of y = mx + b,

With y = x + 3, m = 1 so the slope is one, and b = 3 which is the y-intercept, so plot the point (0,3) on the y-axis.

To find the next point to plot go up 1 and over to the right 1 because slope is rise over run.

With y = x, the slope is still 1, but there is no y-intercept, so you plot the point (0,0), and to find the next point on that line, go up 1 and over the right 1 because m=1

Y=-x-4 <br>y=x<br><br>solve system of equations algebraically

Serhud [2]

Answer:

y=-2 x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

y=-x-4

y=x

you can plug y in for x in the first equation by using substitution

y=-y-4

and then you solve for y

2y=-4

y=-2

so y equals -2. Since y=x, x also equals -2. Therefore

y=-2 x=-2
