Hello,

Let's x then number of students.

x is divisible by 12,15,18 thus by 180 (lcm)

x=180*k is a square

2²*3²*5*k= a square ==> k=5

x=180*5=900

Proof:

900/12=75

900/15=60

900/18=50

900=30²

Answer: Answer is in the step.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student made a mistake by identifying the maximum point by the x coordinate value of the vertex. Minimum or maximum points are determine using the y coordinate value.The student can determine the difference between a maximum and minimum by identifying the y coordinate of the vertex.

Type the correct answer in each box. Use numerals instead of words. If necessary, use / for the fraction bar(s). Line m has no y

goblinko [34]

If the line does not have a y int, then it means it does not cross the y axis....that means it is a vertical line.....its x int is (3,0)...so this equation for the line is x = 3

if the line does not have an x int, it means it does not cross the x axis...that means it is a horizontal line...its y int is (0,-4)...so the equation for this line is
y = -4

Answer:

The sample size is $n = 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The margin of error is E =4.266

The standard deviation is $\sigma = 2.539$

From the question we are told the confidence level is 99% , hence the level of significance is

$\alpha = (100 - 99 ) \%$

=> $\alpha = 0.01$

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ is

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 2.58$

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as

$n = [\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sigma }{E} ] ^2$

=> $n = [\frac{2.58 * 2.539 }{4.266} ] ^2$

=> $n = 2$
