Answer:
The sample proportion of successful procedures is 0.962.
Step-by-step explanation:
The sample proportion of successful procedures is the number of successfiç procedures divided by the total number of procedures.
In this problem:
158 procedures, of which 152 were successful. So
p = 152/158 = 0.962
The sample proportion of successful procedures is 0.962.
Answer:
a) 
b) 
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Let the required polynomial be p(x).
We have the relation, 
+ p(x) = 18
i.e. p(x) = 18
i.e. p(x) =
b) Let the required polynomial be q(x).
We have the relation, + q(x) = 0
i.e. q(x) = 0
i.e. q(x) =
First, solve the parentheses:
Next, the exponential terms
Solve the multiplication:
Add and subtract:
Mass of freight train: 9.98 • 106
= 1057.88 kg
mass of aircraft carrier: 7.3 • 107
= 781.1 kg
difference: 1057.88 - 781.1
= 276.78 kg
= 2.7678 x 10^2
