ANSWER

EXPLANATION
The given expression is

This is having a negative index. We must first of all change to a positive index.
Recall that,

We apply this law of exponents to get,

We cab rewrite the given expression to obtain;

This will simplify to give us,
Answer:
=
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
1/9
Step-by-step explanation:
when you have a negative exponent, you move the term to the denominator: 1/3^2
then you just do 3^2: 1/9
The mean ( average ) is given as 1200 hours.
The standard deviation is 200, sample size is 100.
Find the standard error:
√(200^2 / 100) = 20
Now calculate the confidence interval. For 95% the Z number is 1.96
Multiply Z by the standard error:
1.96 x 20 =39.2
Now find the range that the mean should be within:
1200 - 39.2 = 1160.8
1200 + 39.2 = 1239.2
The samples should be between 1160.8 and 1239.2 for a 95% confidence interval.
Since the average was 1050, which is below 1160.8 the bulbs are not in compliance.
