Which polynomial is in standard form?

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form is [ ax² + bx + c ]

The exponents and variables determine what comes first. In [ 11x³ - 6x² + 5x ], we can see that the exponents are going from greatest to least and the last number doesn't have an exponent so it goes last. Essentially we can think of this as sorting each part from greatest to least using exponents -> variables -> number to determine that.

Best of Luck!

The dwarves of the Grey Mountains wish to conduct a survey of their pick-axes in order to construct a 99% confidence interval ab

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

The minimum sample size needed is 125.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

The margin of error is:

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

For this problem, we have that:

$\pi = 0.25$

99% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.01$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.01}{2} = 0.995$ , so $Z = 2.575$ .

What minimum sample size would be necessary in order ensure a margin of error of 10 percentage points (or less) if they use the prior estimate that 25 percent of the pick-axes are in need of repair?

This minimum sample size is n.

n is found when $M = 0.1$
