Remark

Using brackets, as the question has, each of the minus signs is part of the 4. That means you have 2 minus signs in total. They are multiplied together.


Two minus sign's = a plus.


Argument

D is wrong.

The power is not made minus. That would be an entirely different problem. The power and the base have been interchanged. So D has 2 mistakes.


B is also wrong for the same reason.

The power and base have been interchanged. The fact that there are or are not brackets does not make any difference.


A is wrong.

There is only one minus sign given. That cannot happen when there were two to start with.


Answer C.

The two minus signs are preserved. The 2 as a power affects both minus signs.


(-4)^{2} affects both of them.

That expression can be rewritten as (-4)^2 or choice C.

Pediatric asthma survey, n = 50. suppose that asthma affects 1 in 20 children in a population. you take an srs of 50 children fr
zaharov [31]
In this situation, 
n=50, p=1/20, q=(1-p)=19/20, and npq=19/8=2.4

We would like np and npq to be a large number, at least greater than 10.
The normal approximation can always be applied, but the result will be very approximate, depending on the values of np and npq.

Situations are favourable for the normal approximation when p is around 0.5, say between 0.3 and 0.7, and n>30.

"Normal approximation" is using normal probability distribution to approximate the binomial distribution, when n is large (greater than 70) or exceeds the capacity of most hand-held calculators.  The binomial distribution can be used if the following conditions are met:
1. Bernoulli trials, i.e. exactly two possible outcomes.2. Number of trials is known before and constant throughout the experiment, i.e. independent of outcomes.3. All trials are independent of each other.4. Probability of success is known, and remain constant throughout trials.
If all criteria are satisfied, we can model with binomial distribution, where the probability of x successes out of N trials each with probability of success p is given byP(x)=C(N,x)(p^x)(1-p)^(N-x)and,C(N,x) is number of combinations of selecting x objects out of N.
The mean is np, and variance is npq.

For the given situation, np=2.5, npq=2.375, so standard deviation=sqrt(2.375)=1.54.

GEOMETRY HOMEWORK HELP! PLS!!
levacccp [35]

Answer:

x = 37°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the triangle with two given exterior angles, m ∠107° and m ∠110°:

We can use the <u>exterior angle theorem</u> where it states that the measure of each exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of the opposite and remote interior angles.

Start by finding the supplement of m ∠110°, that will serve as the other remote interior angle.

The supplement of ∠110° is:

∠110° + y  = 180°

Where y = represents the other unknown interior angle.

Subtract ∠110° from both sides:

∠110° - ∠110°  + y  = 180° - ∠110°

y =  70°

Therefore, the other remote interior angle is y = 70°. Now, we can determine the value of x by establishing the following equation:

107° = x° + 70°

Subtract 70 from both sides:

107° - 70° = x° + 70°- 70°

x = 37°
