Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Half of Robert's piece of wire is equal to of Maria's wire i.e.

$\dfrac{R}{2}=M$ ....(1)

Total length of the wires = 10 feet

ATQ,

$R+M=10$ ....(2)

Use equation (1) in (2).

$R+\dfrac{R}{2}=10\\\\\dfrac{3R}{2}=10\\\\R=\dfrac{20}{3}\\\\R=6.67\ ft$

So,

$M=\dfrac{6.67}{2}\\\\M=3.33\ ft$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Directions : Factor each of the following Differences of two squares and write your answer together with solution

N76 [4]

$\huge \boxed{\mathfrak{Question} \downarrow}$

Factor each of the following differences of two squares and write your answer together with solution.

$\large \boxed{\mathbb{ANSWER\: WITH\: EXPLANATION} \downarrow}$

<h3><u>1. x² - 36</u></h3>

$\sf \: x ^ { 2 } - 36$

Rewrite $\sf\:x^{2}-36 as x^{2}-6^{2}$ . The difference of squares can be factored using the rule: $\sf\: a^{2}-b^{2}=\left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right)$ .

$\boxed{ \boxed{ \bf\left(x-6\right)\left(x+6\right) }}$

<h3><u>2. 49 - x²</u></h3>

$\sf \: 49 - x ^ { 2 }$

Rewrite 49-x² as 7²-x². The difference of squares can be factored using the rule: $\sf\:a^{2}-b^{2}=\left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right)$ .

$\sf \: \left(7-x\right)\left(7+x\right)$

Reorder the terms.

$\boxed{ \boxed{ \bf\left(-x+7\right)\left(x+7\right) }}$

<h3><u>3. 81 - c²</u></h3>

$\sf \: 81 - c ^ { 2 }$

Rewrite 81-c²as 9²-c². The difference of squares can be factored using the rule: $\sf\:a^{2}-b^{2}=\left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right)$ .

$\sf\left(9-c\right)\left(9+c\right)$

Reorder the terms.

$\boxed{ \boxed{ \bf\left(-c+9\right)\left(c+9\right) }}$

$\sf \: m ^ { 2 } n ^ { 2 } - 1$

Rewrite m²n² - 1 as $\sf\left(mn\right)^{2}-1^{2}$ . The difference of squares can be factored using the rule: $\sf\:a^{2}-b^{2}=\left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right)$ .

Suppose we take two different random samples from the same population of test scores. The population mean and standard deviation

Leto [7]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval obtained with a sample size of 64 will give greater precision.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

A 95% confidence interval is calculated with the following sample sizes

$n_1 = 25\\n_2 = 64$

The population mean and standard deviation are unknown.

Effect of sample size on confidence interval:

As the sample size increases the margin of error decreases.
As the margin of error decreases the width of the confidence level decreases.
Thus, with increased sample size the width of confidence level decreases.

If we want a confidence interval with greater precision that is smaller width, we have to choose the higher sample size.

Thus, the 95% confidence interval obtained with a sample size of 64 will give greater precision.
