When you subtract a number, you get the same results as when you add the opposite number. Why?

Mathematics
1 answer:
lapo4ka [179]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, the opposite of a number is the same number with the opposite sign. For example, the opposite of -1 is 1.

So, say we have an equation where we're subtracting a number, for example, 2-1, which obviously equals 1. Now, if we add the opposite of 1 to 2, we get the equation 2+(-1) which still equals 1.

I hope this helps!

What fraction is 1 yard 2 feet and 6 inches
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Make sure you convert these numbers into one unit. Convert everything to yard. Just convert the feet and inches in yard since it's the biggest unit, and then add them together. You should get a fraction not a whole number.

A researcher at a major clinic wishes to estimate the proportion of the adult population of the United States that has sleep dep
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer: n = 600.25 ≈ 601 ( sample size)

the minimum sample size of the adults in United State who have sleep deprivation  is 601

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

the confidence level = 95% = 0.05

the Margin of error E = 4% = 0.04

∴  level of significance ∝ = 1 - C.L

∝ = 1 - (95/100)

= 0.05

Z∝/2 = 0.05/2 = 0.025

Z-critical value at 95% confidence level is OR level of significance at 0.025 = 1.96 (z-table)

Now to calculate the sample size, we say

n = (Z(critical) / M.E )² P ( 1 - P)

now we substitute

n =  (1.96 / 0.04)² × 0.5 ( 1 - 0.5)

n = 2401 × 0.5 × 0.5

n = 600.25 ≈ 601

Therefore the minimum sample size of the adults in United State who have sleep deprivation  is 601
