A study on students drinking habits wants to determine the true average number of alcoholic drinks all uf underclassmen students

have in a one week period. We know from preliminary studies that the standard deviation is around 2. 8. How many students should be sampled to be within 1. 5 drink of population mean with 90% probability?.

Answer: 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard deviation is 2

Margin error for the problem is 1

Probability 95%, that means thet the siginficance level α is 1 – p

α = 1 – 0.95 = 0.05

margin of error (ME) can be defined as follows

ME = Z(α/2) * standard deviation/ √n

Where n is the sample size

Z(0.05/2) = Z(0.025)

Using a z table Z = 1.96

Now, replacing in the equation and find n

1 = 1.96 * 2/ √n

1 = 3.92 / √n

√n = 3.92

n = 3.92^2

n = 15.36 = 16

i hope this work for you

A quadradic polynomial has a degree of 2 true or false
nataly862011 [7]

Answer: True

Step-by-step explanation:

 We know that the quadratics polynomials have this form:

f(x)=ax^2+bx+c

You need to remember that the degree of a polynomial is given by its highest exponent.

You can observe in the quadratic polynomial f(x)=ax^2+bx+c that the highest exponent is "2", which is the exponent of the term ax^2

Therefore, since the highest exponent is "2", you should conclude that the degree of the polynomial is 2.

Then, you can say that a quadradic polynomial has degree 2.

(Picture) MULTIPLYING POLYNOMIALS AND SIMPLIFYING EXPRESSIONS PLEASE HELP!!!!
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Answer: Third option is the right answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we the write the expression

(a+b)(a^{2}+b^{2}-ab)

Now teacher says that the product of these polynomials will result in the sum of  a^{3}+b^{3}

Now the teacher ask if we put the value of a = 2x and b = 1 then what will be the expression look like.

(2x+1)\left [ (2x)^{2}+(1^{2})-(2x)(1)\right ]

=(2x+1)(4x^{2}+1-2x)

So third option is looking like our expression.

Need to use a the table given to find the rate of change in fruit flies per day over the given intervals. Not sure how to use th
Aleksandr [31]
Given a table, with an input (x) and output (y) , you could actually use the slope formula to get the rate of change because slope is the same thing as rate of change. If you recall, the slope formula is (y2-y1)÷(x2-x1)
Just pick two points from the chart and plug them in and that is your rate of change
