Answer:

  In step 4, Jim's answer is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

In step 1, Jim swaps the order of addends using the commutative property of addition.

In step 2, Jim uses the distributive property to factor -1 from the final two terms. (The associative property lets Jim move parentheses.)

  6.1 +(-8.5 -1.3) . . . associative property

  6.1 +(-1)(8.5 +1.3) . . . distributive property

In step 3, Jim has used the properties of real numbers to form the sum of two of them.

In step 4, Jim wrote an answer of 1.1, when the answer should have been -3.7. Jim's answer is incorrect.

__

The descriptive statements about steps 2 and 4 are both true.

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

<em>The interior length of the bassinet to ensure that 99 percent of newborn babies will fit   = 1.7 cm</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>-

<em><u>step(i):</u></em>-

Given mean of population = 50 cm  

<em>standard deviation of Population = 5 cm</em>

<em>Given Margin of error = 10 cm</em>

<em>The Margin of error is determined by </em>

<em></em>M.E = \frac{Z_{\alpha } S.D}{\sqrt{n} }<em></em>

<u><em>Step(ii)</em></u><em>:-</em>

<em>Given level of significance ∝ = 99 % or 1 %</em>

Z₀.₀₁ = 2.576

10 = \frac{2.576 X 5}{\sqrt{n} }

\sqrt{n}  = \frac{2.576 X 5}{10}

√n = 1.3

squaring on both sides , we get

<em>n = 1.69≅ 1.7 cm</em>

<u><em> Final answer:</em></u>-

<em>The interior length of the bassinet to ensure that 99 percent of newborn babies will fit   = 1.7 cm</em>

7nadin3 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line is y = mx + c

where

m is the slope

c is the y intercept

From the question

y = 7/5x - 3

Comparing with the above formula

<h3>Slope / m = 7/5</h3><h3>c/ y intercept = - 3</h3>

ORDER OF OPERATIONS

When simplifying mathematical expressions perform the operations in the following order:

1. Parentheses and other Grouping Symbols

Simplify all expressions inside the parentheses or other grouping symbols, working on the innermost parentheses first.

2. Exponents

Simplify all expressions with exponents.

3. Multiplication and Division

Perform all multiplication and division in order from left to right. These operations have equal priority.

4. Addition and Subtraction

Perform all addition and subtraction in order from left to right. These operations have equal priority
