517.23 was divided by a power of ten to get 5.1723. What power of ten was it divided by?

1 answer:

7 0

You can see that the point has went 2 numbers backward. Which means that the power of ten that 517.23 was divided by should have 2 zeroes, which is of course 100.
The number of numbers which the point go backward is equal to the number of zeroes contained in the power of 10.
divided by 10, the point go 1 number backward; divided by 10 000 000, the point go 7 numbers backward, etc...

Hope this Helps! :)

The base and height of the triangle to the right are multiplied by 4. Describe the change in the area.

Artemon [7]

Area would be 15 if base is 6m and height is 5m
So 6*4=24
5*4=20
Area would be 240 for the 2nd answer

240/15=16

The area is 16x bigger

Assume that different groups of couples use the XSORT method of gender selection and each couple gives birth to one baby. The XS

olganol [36]

Answer:

Mean and Standard deviation for the numbers of girls in groups of 36 births are 18 and 3 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that he X SORT method is designed to increase the likelihood that a baby will be a girl, but assume that the method has no effect, so the probability of a girl is 0.5.

Now consider a group consisting of 36 couples.

The above situation can be represented through binomial distribution;

$P(X=r)=\binom{n}{r} \times p^{r} \times (1-p)^{n-r} ;x=0,1,2,3,.....$
