Given:
μ = 25 mpg, the population mean
σ = 2 mpg, the population standard deviation
If we select n samples for evaluation, we should calculate z-scores that are based on the standard error of the mean.
That is,

The random variable is x = 24 mpg.
Part (i): n = 1
σ/√n = 2
z = (24 -25)/2 = -0.5
From standard tables,
P(x < 24) = 0.3085
Part (ii): n = 4
σ/√n = 1
z = (24 -25)/1 = -1
P(x < 24) = 0.1587
Part (iii): n=16
σ/√n = 0.5
z = (24 - 25)/0.5 = -2
P(x < 24) = 0.0228
Explanation:
The larger the sample size, the smaller the standard deviation.
Therefore when n increases, we are getting a result which is closer to that of the true mean.
Answer:
f(t) = 66·0.995^t
Step-by-step explanation:
You can try t=0 and t=1 in each of the formulas to see which one gives values of 66 and 0.5% less than 66, or 65.67.
The first function has an initial value of 0.5, so is not correct.
The second function gives f(1) = 99, so is not correct.
The third function gives f(1) = 65.67, so is correct.
The fourth function gives f(1) = 66.33, so is not correct.
_____
You can realize that the multiplier will be 0.5% less than 100%, so will be 99.5% = 0.995. This number shows up only in the third selection.
Answer:
Fossils: number one
Continental Shapes: number three
Seafloor Spreading: number two
Lets do this.
so when you decompose 740 you first get
700
and then you get
40
so your numbers are
700 and 40
or
7 hundreds, 4 tens
