A. False. The first part of the statement is true, but the second part is not. The sample mean is not always equal to the population mean. The sample mean will vary (it's a random variable).

B. True. The larger the sample, the better the estimate. Ideally we would take a census, but that is often too costly. The next best thing is to select a sample that is of the proper size.

C. True. Consider a normal distribution with mean mu and standard deviation sigma. The distribution of sample means, aka xbar distribution, will have mean mu and standard deviation sigma/sqrt(n), where n is the sample size. We see that sigma/sqrt(n) is smaller than sigma. This tells the xbar distribution is much taller and more narrow compared to the normal distribution.

How do you find the g (acceleration due to gravity) in this question?

IRISSAK [1]

The weight (or mass) is irrelevant.

The period t = sqrt(2*pi*sqrt(l/g) where g is the acceleration due to gravity.

so t = 2*pi*sqrt(5/9.8) = 4.49 seconds.

Frequency = 1/period = 0.223 Hertz.

Determine which of the values could be used to clear fractions in the given equation 1/4×-2/5=1/2×+2

Keith_Richards [23]

The value that can turn the fractions into whole numbers is the common denominator......the common denominator of 4,5,2,and 1 is 20.
so we would multiply the entire equation by 20

1/4x - 2/5 = 1/2x + 2....multiply everything by 20
5x - 8 = 10x + 40....poof...bye-bye fractions

What are the roots of the polynomial f(x)=x^2+9x-70?

Margaret [11]

Roots of the polynomial are values of x when f(x)=0,so
to find the roots of the polynomial we need to solve the equation
x²+9x-70=0 , a=1, b=9,c=-70

$x= \frac{-b+/- \sqrt{ b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}


$

$x= \frac{-9+/- \sqrt{81+4*1*70} }{2} = \frac{-9+/- \sqrt{361} }{2}= \frac{-9+/-19}{2} 

x_{1}=5, x_{2}=-14

What two ways can you find the product of 8x997 using mental math

ss7ja [257]

8=10-2 or
997=1000-3
so we can use distributive property
remember, a(b+c)=ab+ac

for the first one
8(997)=(10-2)(997)=997(10-2)=997(10)+997(-2)=9970-1994=7976

2nd one
8(997)=8(1000-3)=8(1000)+8(-3)=8000-24=7976
