<h3>Answer: D) 32</h3>

Explanation:

Each time we progress through a round, the teams count is cut in half.

After round one, there are 128/2 = 64 teams left (since we have 64 winning teams and 64 losing teams)

After the second round, there are 64/2 = 32 teams left over

Answer:

128/2=64/2=32

Step-by-step explanation:

you really need a help with that ? you don't know how to divide by 2 ? and then to divide the result another time by 2 ?

not to mention that you could achieve that with in division by 4 (as this is the save as dividing by 2 and then again by 2).

putting such questions in here is a farce and a waste of time for the helping people.

Both problems give you a function in the second column and the x-values. To find out the values of a through f, you need to plug in those x-values into the function and simplify!

You need to know three exponent rules to simplify these expressions:
1) The negative exponent rule says that when a base has a negative exponent, flip the base onto the other side of the fraction to make it into a positive exponent. For example, $3^{-2} =
\frac{1}{3^{2} }$ .
2) Raising a fraction to a power is the same as separately raising the numerator and denominator to that power. For example, $(\frac{3}{4}) ^{3} = \frac{ 3^{3} }{4^{3} }$ .
3) The zero exponent rule<span> says that any number raised to zero is 1. For example, $3^{0} = 1$ .
</span>

Back to the Problem:
Problem 1
The x-values are in the left column. The title of the right column tells you that the function is $y = 4^{-x}$ . The x-values are:
<span>1) x = 0
</span>Plug this into $y = 4^{-x}$ to find letter a:
$y = 4^{-x}\\
y = 4^{-0}\\
y = 4^{0}\\
y = 1$
<span>
2) x = 2
</span>Plug this into $y = 4^{-x}$ to find letter b:
$y = 4^{-x}\\ 
y = 4^{-2}\\ 
y = \frac{1}{4^{2}} \\ 
y= \frac{1}{16}$
<span>
3) x = 4
</span>Plug this into $y = 4^{-x}$ to find letter c:
$y = 4^{-x}\\ 
y = 4^{-4}\\ 
y = \frac{1}{4^{4}} \\ 
y= \frac{1}{256}$
<span>

Problem 2
</span>The x-values are in the left column. The title of the right column tells you that the function is $y = (\frac{2}{3})^x$ . The x-values are:
<span>1) x = 0
</span>Plug this into $y = (\frac{2}{3})^x$ to find letter d:
$y = (\frac{2}{3})^x\\
y = (\frac{2}{3})^0\\
y = 1$
<span>
2) x = 2
</span>Plug this into $y = (\frac{2}{3})^x$ to find letter e:
$y = (\frac{2}{3})^x\\ y = (\frac{2}{3})^2\\ y = \frac{2^2}{3^2}\\
y = \frac{4}{9}$
<span>
3) x = 4
</span>Plug this into $y = (\frac{2}{3})^x$ to find letter f:
$y = (\frac{2}{3})^x\\ y = (\frac{2}{3})^4\\ y = \frac{2^4}{3^4}\\ y = \frac{16}{81}$
<span>
-------

Answers:
a = 1
b = </span> $\frac{1}{16}$ <span>
c = </span> $\frac{1}{256}$
d = 1
e = $\frac{4}{9}$
f = $\frac{16}{81}$

The American Management Association is studying the income of store managers in the retail industry. A random sample of 49 manag

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

a) The 95% confidence interval for the income of store managers in the retail industry is ($44,846, $45,994), having a margin of error of $574.

b) The interval mean that we are 95% sure that the true mean income of all store managers in the retail industry is between $44,846 and $45,994.

Step-by-step explanation:

Question a:

We have to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025$

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of $1 - \alpha$ .

That is z with a p-value of $1 - 0.025 = 0.975$ , so Z = 1.96.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

$M = 1.96\frac{2050}{\sqrt{49}} = 574$

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 45420 - 574 = $44,846.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 45420 + 574 = $45,994.

The 95% confidence interval for the income of store managers in the retail industry is ($44,846, $45,994), having a margin of error of $574.

Question b:

The interval mean that we are 95% sure that the true mean income of all store managers in the retail industry is between $44,846 and $45,994.

Answer:

A) Rational

B) Irrational

C) Rational

D) Irrational

Step-by-step explanation:

Irrational numbers cannot be expressed as a ratio of two number, whereas rational numbers can be. 81 can be expressed as 9*9 whereas, 89 cannot be expressed as ratio of two numbers.

Find the equation of the line shown

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

y = -x + 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope = rise run

= 9 /-9

= -1.

The y intercept is at y = 9 so the equation is:

y = -x + 9.
