Answer:

when you subtract a negative number the two negative signs cancel out and it turns to a positive number

Step-by-step explanation:

in -6 - (-2)

the two - signs cancel out so it ends up being

-6+2 which is why it equals -4

The two negative (-) signs cancel out.
In this case, when the signs cancel out, we get:
-6 + 2
And that’s how you get the answer -4

(Pretty much: -6 - (-2) is equal to -6 + 2. Both of which equal -4)

Sample size: A researcher is trying to decide how many people to survey. Which of the following sample sizes will result in a co

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a researcher is trying to decide how many people to survey.

We have confidence intervals are intervals with middle value as the mean and on either side margin of error.

Confidence interval = Mean ± Margin of error

Thus confidence interval width depends on margin of error.

Margin of error = $Critical value *\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }$

Thus for the same confidence level and std deviation we find margin of error is inversely proportional to square root of sample size.

Hence for small n we get wide intervals.

So if sample size = 300, the researcher will get wider confidence interval

Hexagon DEFGHI is translated on the coordinate plane below to create hexagon D'E'F'G'H'I':

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

(x, y)→(x − 8, y − 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

If we take the hexagon DEFGHI coordinates and apply the rule (x, y)→(x − 8, y − 7) we get:

D (2, 5) → (2 - 8, 5 - 7) = (-6, -2) which corresponds to point D'

E (5, 5) → (5 - 8, 5 - 7) = (-3, -2) which corresponds to point E'

F (6, 3) → (6 - 8, 3 - 7) = (-2, -4) which corresponds to point F'

G (5, 1) → (5 - 8, 1 - 7) = (-3, -6) which corresponds to point G'

H (2, 1) → (2 - 8, 1 - 7) = (-6, -6) which corresponds to point H'

I (1, 3) → (1 - 8, 3 - 7) = (-7, -4) which corresponds to point I'

Solve for x. 3(x + 2) + 4(x - 5) = 10 x = 36/7 x = 24/7 x = 16/7 x = 9/7

IRISSAK [1]

3(x + 2) + 4(x - 5) = 10

Use the distributive property:

3x + 6 + 4x - 20 = 10

Combine like terms:

7x -14 = 10

Add 14 to both sides:

7x = 24

Divide both sides by 7:

x = 24/7
