Mathematics
1 answer:
Advocard [28]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

a = -3

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Solving Exponential Equations
  • Exponential Property [Rewrite]: \displaystyle b^{-m} = \frac{1}{b^m}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify</em>

<em />\displaystyle 5^a = \frac{1}{125}<em />

<em />

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>a</u></em>

  1. Rewrite:                                                                                                                \displaystyle 5^a = \frac{1}{5^3}
  2. Rewrite [Exponential Property - Rewrite]:                                                       \displaystyle 5^a = 5^{-3}
  3. Set:                                                                                                                    \displaystyle a = -3

4. The following intervals were plausible population proportions for a given sample. Find the margin of error in each case.
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer: a. 0.15  b. 0.03 c. 0.055 d. 0.05

Step-by-step explanation:

For plausible intervals of population proportions , the margin of error is basically half of the difference between upper limit and lower limit.

a.  Interval =  From 0.35 to 0.65

Upper limit = 0.65

Lower limit = 0.35

Difference = Upper limit- Lower limit

= 0.65-0.35=0.30

Margin of error = (Difference)÷2  =(0.30)÷2=0.15

b. Interval =  From 0.72 to 0.78

Upper limit = 0.78

Lower limit = 0.72

Difference =  0.78-0.72 = 0.06

Margin of error  =(0.06)÷2=0.03

c. Interval =  From 0.84 to 0.95

Upper limit = 0.95

Lower limit = 0.84

Difference =0.95-0.84= 0.11

Margin of error = (0.11)÷2 = 0.055

d.Interval =  From 0.47 to 0.57

Upper limit =  0.57

Lower limit =  0.47

Difference = 0.57-0.47=0.10

Margin of error = (0.10)÷2=0.05

A submarine sandwich shop makes sandwiches with one kind of bread, one protein, one choice of cheese, and two vegetables. How ma
brilliants [131]

Answer:

480 different sandwiches

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many sandwiches can be made, we need to find the number of possibilities for each choice: bread, protein, cheese, vegetables.

Bread: 3 types -> combination of 3 choose 1 -> 3

Protein: 4 types -> combination of 4 choose 1 -> 4

Cheese: 4 types -> combination of 4 choose 1 -> 4

Vegetables: 5 types -> combination of 5 choose 2 -> 5!/(3!*2!) = 5*4/2 = 10

So the number of different sandwiches is:

3 * 4 * 4 * 10 = 480
