Answer:

Brian has 50 pieces of gum

Step-by-step explanation:

Jaden has three times as many

Therefore-

n x 30 = 150

We need to solve for n

You can do that by dividing 150 by 3

150/3 = 50

So Brian has 50 pieces

Katrina wants to estimate the proportion of adults who read at least 10 books last year. to do so, she obtains a simple random

Vaselesa [24]

E=Z*sqrt (p(1-p)/N), where E= error margin, p=proportion, N=sample size

Katrina's margin error at 85% confidence interval: E=1.96*sqrt (p(1-p)/100) = 0.196 sqrt (1(1-p))

Mathew's margin error at 99% confidence interval: E= 2.58*sqrt (p(1-p)/400) = 0.129 sqrt (p(1-p))

Since both obtained same estimate of proportion (that is, value of p), it can be seen that Mathew's estimate will have a small error (That is, 0.129 is smaller than 0.196). This can be attributed to larger sample size although a wider confidence (99%) interval was considered.

Joe is building a post for his mailbox. To find the correct dimensions, he needs to expand this expression: (x-3) (x-9) (x-4) Se

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

$(x-3)(x-9)(x-4)=x^3-16x^2+75x-108$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The expression to expand is given as:

$(x-3)(x-9)(x-4)$

Let us expand the first two binomials of the given expression using FOIL method.

The FOIL method states that:

$(a + b)(c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd$

$(x-3)(x-9)=(x\times x)+(x\times -9)+(-3\times x)+(-3\times -9)\\\\(x-3)(x-9)=x^2-9x-3x+27=x^2-12x+27$

Now, let us multiply the result with the remaining binomial. Multiplying each term of the trinomial with each term of the binomial, we get:

$(x^2-12x+27)(x-4)\\\\= (x^2\times x)+ (x^2\times -4)+(-12x\times x)+(-12x\times -4)+(27\times x)+(27\times -4)\\\\=x^3-4x^2-12x^2+48x+27x-108\\\\=x^3-16x^2+75x-108...........(\because-12x^2-4x^2=-16x^2,48x+27x=75x)$

Therefore, the equivalent expression after expanding is given as:

$(x-3)(x-9)(x-4)=x^3-16x^2+75x-108$
