laiz [17]

Answer:

Polynomials are classified according to their number of terms. 4x3 +3y + 3x2 has three terms, -12zy has 1 term, and 15 - x2 has two terms. As already mentioned, a polynomial with 1 term is a monomial. A polynomial with two terms is a binomial, and a polynomial with three terms is a trinomial.

PLEASE HELP WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST the number of students at north middle school is 1240 and is decreasing by 25 students per year

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

-88

Step-by-step explanation:

Let N(x) be the number of students at NMS for a certain number of years.

Let S(x) be the number of students at SMS for a certain number of years.

Let x be the number of years.

N(x)=1240-25x

S(x)=800-30x

When # of students is equal, N(x)=S(x). Therefore, we are looking for the value of x (# of years) when 1240-25x=800-30x

Subtract 1240 from each side

-25x=-440-30x

Add 30x

5x=-400

x=-88 years

From 1995 - 2008 in the US 648 people were struck by lightening. 531 of them were men. You want to see if this observation diffe

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Because z is higher than any given value in the chart we come to the conclusion To reject null hypothesis

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample proportion = p= 531/648 = 0.8194

This is the proportion of men that were hit by lightening

Null hypothesis: H0: p = 0.5

Alternate hypothesis: H1: p ≠ 0.5

Test statistics z = 0.8194-0.5/(√0.5x0.5/648)

= 0.8194-0.5/√0.0003858

= 0.3194/0.019642

= 16.26

Since the z > 1.96 (at 5% significance) we reject the null hypothesis.

Therefore in conclusion we say z is higher than given values in the chart so we reject null hypothesis.
