Given Information:
The provided statement is “In the expression
The choices to fill the provided statement are ascending, descending, degree, fraction, scientific, base, exponent, product, quotient, monomial, binomial and trinomial.
Explanation:
Consider the provided statement” In the expression
The expression is
The Exponential Notation:
An exponent of greater than equal to 2 denotes how many times the base is used as factor. That is, an expression for a power is called exponential notation. In
In general,
An exponent of 7 which tells how many times the base is used as factor. Thus an expression
From the expression
Therefore, in the expression

- 8.6.5 Consider the fuel rod enrichment data described in Exercise 8.2.11. Compute a 90% prediction interval on the enrichment of the next rod tested. Compare the length of the prediction interval with the length of the 99% CI on the population mean.arrow_forward8.4.4 The Arizona Department of Transportation wishes to survey state residents to determine what proportion of the population would like to increase statewide highway speed limits from 65 mph to 75 mph. How many residents does the department need to survey if it wants to be at least 99% confident that the sample proportion is within 0.05 of the true proportion? 8.4.5 The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) has used optical character recognition (OCR) since the mid-1960s. In 1983, USPS began deploying the technology to major post offices throughout the country (www.britannica.com). Suppose that in a random sample of 500 handwritten zip code digits, 466 were read correctly. a. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of correct digits that can be automatically read. b. What sample size is needed to reduce the margin of error to 1%? c. How would the answer to part (b) change if you had to assume that the machine read only one-half of the digits correctly?arrow_forwardAnswer questions 8S7 and 8S14arrow_forward

Find a 95% confidence interval for the true proportion of seeds that germinate based on this sample. b. Does this seem to provide evidence that the claim is wrong? 8.6.1 Consider the tire-testing data described in Exercise 8.2.3. Compute a 95% prediction interval on the life of the next tire of this type tested under conditions that are similar to those employed in the original test. Compare the length of the prediction interval with the length of the 95% CI on the population mean.arrow_forwardPlease solve 14 and 15arrow_forward
