Answer:

  • 71 in House of Representatives
  • 17 in Senate

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h and s represent the numbers in the House and Senate, respectively. Then we have ...

  h + s = 88

  h - s = 54

Subtracting the second equation from the first gives ...

  (h +s) -(h -s) = (88) -(54)

  2s = 34 . . . . . simplify

  s = 17 . . . . . . . divide by 2

  h = 88 -17 = 71 . . . . find the other value using the sum equation

There were 71 females in the House of Representatives, and 17 females in the Senate.

inna [77]

Answer: 0.6812

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be the population proportion of trees are infested by a bark beetle.

As per given: p= 12%= 0.12

Sample size : n= 1000

Number of trees affected in sample = 1000

Sample proportion of trees are infested by a bark beetle. = \hat{p}=\dfrac{127}{1000}=0.127

Now, the z-test statistic : z=\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}

So, z=\dfrac{0.127-0.12}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.12\times 0.88}{1000}}}

z=\dfrac{0.007}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.1056}{1000}}}\\\\\\=\dfrac{0.007}{\sqrt{0.0001056}}\\\\\\=\dfrac{0.007}{0.010276}\approx0.6812

Hence, the value of the z-test statistic = 0.6812 .

Which list is in order from least to greatest? A) 9.4 * 10^-8, 9.25 * 10^-6, 2.5 * 10^3, 7* 10^3 B) 2.5 *10^3, 7 * 10^3, 9.25 *
vladimir1956 [14]

ANSWER

A) 9.4 * 10^-8, 9.25 * 10^-6, 2.5 * 10^3, 7* 10^3

EXPLANATION

The numbers are given in standard form.

The first criteria we will use to order them is the exponents.

The bigger the exponents the bigger the number.

The second criteria is that, if the exponents of any two numbers are the same, then we use the numbers multiplying the powers of 10 to order.

9.4 * 10^{-8}  \: <   \: 9.25 * 10^{-6} \:  <  \: 2.5 * 10^3 \:  <  \: 7* 10^3

The correct choice is A.
