Answer to Problem A1.1RP

The integer is positive.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The number given is 2.8.

Concept used:

If a number or an integer is less than 0 or lies to the left side of 0 in the number line, it is considered to be a negative number. It is denoted by a (-) sign.

If a number or an integer is greater than or lying to the right of 0 in the number line, it is positive in nature. It is preceded by a (+) sign. When no sign is mentioned, it is assumed to have a + sign and considered positive.

0 is neutral in nature.

Here, the integer is 2.8. It is not preceded by any sign.

Using the rule aforementioned, it can be deduced that the number has a + sign and can be considered positive.

Therefore, 2.8 is positive.

Two measurements are made of some quantity. For the first measurement, the average is 74.4528, the RMS error is 6.7441, and the uncertainty of the mean is 0.9264. For the second one, the average is 76.8415, the standard deviation is 8.3348, and the uncertainty of the mean is 1.1448. The expected value is exactly 75. 13. Express the first measurement in public notation. 14. Is there a significant difference between the two measurements? 1 15. How does the first measurement compare with the expected value? 16. How does the second measurement compare with the expected value?

In addition to the in-school milk supplement program, the nurse would like to increase the use of daily vitamin supplements for the children by visiting homes and educating about the merits of vitamins. She believes that currently, about 50% of families with school-age children give the children a daily megavitamin. She would like to increase this to 70%. She plans a two-group study, where one group serves as a control and the other group receives her visits. How many families should she expect to visit to have 80% power of detecting this difference? Assume that drop-out rate is 5%.
