Write the following numbers as powers of 10:
- 0.000001
- 10,000,000
- the number whose decimal representation is a 1 followed by 50 zeros
- the number whose decimal representation is a decimal point followed by 10 zeros, followed by a 1
- the number whose decimal representation is a decimal point followed by 50 zeros, followed by a 1
a.

To write:
The given numbers as a power of 10.
Answer to Problem 1P
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A number:
Calculation:
First of all, we will write
Now, we will write
Using property
Therefore,
b.

To write:
The given numbers as a power of 10.
Answer to Problem 1P
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A number:
Calculation:
We can see that there are 7 zeros after 1, this means that 10 is multiplied to itself by 7 times.
We can write
Therefore,
c.

To write:
The given numbers as a power of 10.
Answer to Problem 1P
1 followed by 50 zeros as a power of 10 would be
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A number, whose decimal representation is a 1 followed by 50 zeros.
Calculation:
1 followed by 50 zerosmeans that 1 followed by 50 zeros that is 10 multiplied to itself by 50 times.
We can write 1 followed by 50 zeros as a power of 10 by raising 10 to 50th power as:
Therefore,1 followed by 50 zerosas a power of 10 would be
d.

To write:
The given numbers as a power of 10.
Answer to Problem 1P
A decimal point followed by 10 zeros, followed by a1 as a power of 10 would be
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A number, whose decimal representation is a decimal point followed by 10 zeros, followed by a1.
Calculation:
A decimal point followed by 10 zeros, followed by a 1 would be
We will write
Using property
Therefore,
d.

To write:
The given numbers as a power of 10.
Answer to Problem 1P
A decimal point followed by 50 zeros, followed by a 1as a power of 10 would be
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A number, whose decimal representation is a decimal point followed by 50 zeros, followed by a 1.
Calculation:
A decimal point followed by 150 zeros, followed by a 1 would be
To write
Therefore,

- You want to compare the average number of tines on the antlers of male deer in two nearby metro parks. A sample of 30 deer from the first park shows an average of 5 tines with a population standard deviation of 3. A sample of 35 deer from the second park shows an average of 6 tines with a population standard deviation of 3.2. Find a 95 percent confidence interval for the difference in average number of tines for all male deer in the two metro parks (second park minus first park).Do the parks’ deer populations differ in average size of deer antlers?arrow_forwardSuppose that you want to increase the confidence level of a particular confidence interval from 80 percent to 95 percent without changing the width of the confidence interval. Can you do it?arrow_forwardA random sample of 1,117 U.S. college students finds that 729 go home at least once each term. Find a 98 percent confidence interval for the proportion of all U.S. college students who go home at least once each term.arrow_forward
- Suppose that you make two confidence intervals with the same data set — one with a 95 percent confidence level and the other with a 99.7 percent confidence level. Which interval is wider?Is a wide confidence interval a good thing?arrow_forwardIs it true that a 95 percent confidence interval means you’re 95 percent confident that the sample statistic is in the interval?arrow_forwardTines can range from 2 to upwards of 50 or more on a male deer. You want to estimate the average number of tines on the antlers of male deer in a nearby metro park. A sample of 30 deer has an average of 5 tines, with a population standard deviation of 3. Find a 95 percent confidence interval for the average number of tines for all male deer in this metro park.Find a 98 percent confidence interval for the average number of tines for all male deer in this metro park.arrow_forward
- Based on a sample of 100 participants, the average weight loss the first month under a new (competing) weight-loss plan is 11.4 pounds with a population standard deviation of 5.1 pounds. The average weight loss for the first month for 100 people on the old (standard) weight-loss plan is 12.8 pounds, with population standard deviation of 4.8 pounds. Find a 90 percent confidence interval for the difference in weight loss for the two plans( old minus new) Whats the margin of error for your calculated confidence interval?arrow_forwardA 95 percent confidence interval for the average miles per gallon for all cars of a certain type is 32.1, plus or minus 1.8. The interval is based on a sample of 40 randomly selected cars. What units represent the margin of error?Suppose that you want to decrease the margin of error, but you want to keep 95 percent confidence. What should you do?arrow_forwardLet v₁ = (2,-3,7,8), v2 = (3, 10, -6, 14), v3 = (0, 19, -2, 16), and v₁ = (9, -2, 1, 10). Is the set {V1, V2, V3, V4} a basis for R4? Of the two sets S = {(3x-5y, 4x + 7y, x+9y): x, y = R} and T = {2x-3y+z, -7x-3y²+z, 4x + 3z): x, y, z = R} which is a subspace of R3? (S, T, both, neither) Justify.arrow_forward

(i) Below is the R code for performing a X2 test on a 2×3 matrix of categorical variables called TestMatrix: chisq.test(Test Matrix) (a) Assuming we have a significant result for this procedure, provide the R code (including any required packages) for an appropriate post hoc test. (b) If we were to apply this technique to a 2 × 2 case, how would we adapt the code in order to perform the correct test?
