Answer:
When dividing two values with the same base, we simply subtract the first exponent by the second and keep the original base. 3^3-6=3^-3. This equals out to be 1/27.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Point Z divides XY into a 5:3 ratio, so Z is 5/3 of the way from X to Y. That ratio is k, found by writing the numerator of the ratio (5) over the sum of the numerator and the denominator (5 + 3 = 8). Our k value is 5/8. Now we will find the rise and run values which is the slope of this line segment:

Coordinates are found in this formula:

Filling that in:

which simplifies to

which gives us the final coordinates of Z to be 
Answer: Question 1.1: It is 1.5 standard deviations away from the mean.
Our value of 26 is 6 units about the mean of 20. If each standard deviation is 4, we just divide 6 by 4. This gives us the number of standard deviations.
Question 2.2 The correct answer is -0.52
If we are 0.52 standard deviations below the mean, then our z-score is simply -0.52. The definition of a z-score is the number of standard deviations from the mean.
