<h2>Question </h2>

Perform each of the following computations using the measured quantities below.

Write your final answer with the correct number of significant figures in proper scientific notation (one non-zero number to the left of the decimal point).

a. 917.2 + 45.63 = ___________

b. 3.423 x 10^-4 - 6.42 x 10^-3 =_________

<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) 9.6 x 10²

(b) -6.1 x 10⁻³

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

(a) 917.2 + 45.63

<em>First add the two numbers as follows (ensure that the decimal numbers are well aligned);</em>

9 1 7 . 2

+ <u> 4 5 . 6 3</u>

<u>9 6 2 . 8 3</u>

<u></u>

<em>To write the result in a proper scientific notation (one non-zero number to the left of the decimal point), </em>

i. Express the number is standard form

962.83 = 9.6283 x 10²

<em>Note that;</em>

From the result in (i)

9.6283 = mantissa

10 = base

² = power or exponent.

ii. Express the mantissa of the number in 1 decimal place.

9.6 x 10²

Therefore, the result in the proper scientific notation is <em>9.6 x 10²</em>.

(b) 3.423 x 10⁻⁴ - 6.42 x 10⁻³

Find the difference between the two numbers as follows;

i. Re-write the numbers so that they both have the same exponents:

0.3423 x 10⁻³ - 6.42 x 10⁻³

ii. Factor out 10⁻³

10⁻³(0.3423 - 6.42)

iii. Solve the bracket

10⁻³(-6.0777)

iv. Rewrite the result in (iii)

-6.0777 x 10⁻³

<em>To write the result in a proper scientific notation (one non-zero number to the left of the decimal point), </em>

i. Express the number is standard form

-6.0777 x 10⁻³ [already in standard form]

<em>Note that;</em>

From the result in (i)

-6.0777 = mantissa

10 = base

⁻³ = power or exponent.

ii. Express the mantissa of the number in 1 decimal place.

-6.1 x 10⁻³

Therefore, the result in the proper scientific notation is -6.1 x 10⁻³.

The average daily jail population in the United States is 706,242. If the distribution is normal and the standard deviation is 5

Karolina [17]

a. The probability that on a randomly selected day, the jail population

is greater than 750,000 is 20.1%

b. The probability that on a randomly selected day, the jail population is

between 600,000 and 700,000 is 43.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

1. The average daily jail population in the United States is 706,242

2. The distribution is normal and the standard deviation is 52,145

3. We need to find the probability that on a randomly selected day,

the jail population is greater than 750,000

4. We need to find the probability that on a randomly selected day,

the jail population is between 600,000 and 700,000

a.

At first find z-score

∵ z = (x - μ)/σ, where x is the score, μ is the mean and σ is the standard

deviation

∵ x = 750,000 , μ = 706,242 and σ = 52,145

∴ z = $\frac{750,000-706,242}{52,145}$ ≅ 0.84

Use the normal distribution table of z to find the area to the right of

the z-value

∵ The corresponding area to z-score of 0.84 is 0.79955

- But we are interested in x > 750,000, we need the area to the

right of z-score

∴ P(x > 750,000) = 1 - 0.79955 = 0.2005

∴ P(x > 750,000) = 0.2005 × 100% = 20.1%

The probability that on a randomly selected day, the jail population is

greater than 750,000 is 20.1%

b.

We will find z-score for 600,000 < x < 700,000

∵ z = $\frac{600,000-706,242}{52,145}$ ≅ -2.04

∵ z = $\frac{700,000-706,242}{52,145}$ ≅ -0.12

Use the normal distribution table of z to find the area between

the two z-values

∵ The corresponding area to z-score of -2.04 is 0.02068

∵ The corresponding area to z-score of -0.12 is 0.45224

- To find P(600,000 < x < 700,000) subtract the two values above

∴ P(600,000 < x < 700,000) = 0.45224 - 0.02068 = 0.4316

∴ P(600,000 < x < 700,000) = 0.4316 × 100% = 43.2%

The probability that on a randomly selected day, the jail population is

between 600,000 and 700,000 is 43.2%

Is 4(4a+20b) equivalent to 16a+24b

8090 [49]

No.

When you are distributing, you are multiplying to each monomial

4(4a) = 16a

4(20b) = 80b

16a + 80b is your actual answer

We have an urn with 3 green and 4 yellow balls. We choose 2 balls randomly without replacement. Let A be the event that we have

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Urn has 3 green and 4 yellow

we choose 2 balls randomly

so samples space for this selection is

$\left [ \left ( Y,G\right ),\left ( G,Y\right ),\left ( G,G\right ),\left ( Y,Y\right )\right ]$

Event A is choosing differently colored ball form sample space

P(A)=Probability of event (G,Y)+Probability of event (Y,G)

$=\frac{^3C_1\times ^4C_1}{7\times 6}+\frac{^4C_1\times ^3C_1}{7\times 6}$

$=\frac{4}{7}$
