Explain why the square root of a number is defined to be equal to that number to the 1/2 power

Answer:
(x^(1/2))(x^(1/2)) = x^(1/2 +1/2) = x^1 = x
Step-by-step explanation:
The rule of exponents is ...
(x^a)(x^b) = x^(a+b)
From which ...
(x^a)(x^a) = x^(a+a) = x^(2a)
So, if we want two identical factors that have a product of x = x^1, then the exponents of those factors will be such that ...
x^(2a) = x^1
2a = 1
a = 1/2
The square root is defined as one of two identical factors that have a product equal to the specified value. That is ...
(√x)(√x) = x
Above, we have shown that ...
(x^(1/2))(x^(1/2)) = x
so, we can conclude ...
√x = x^(1/2)
_____
Additional comment
In like fashion, we can show that the n-th root of a number is the same as that number to the 1/n power. It's really a matter of definition. Since the square of x^(1/2) is x, we call x^(1/2) the square root. It is used commonly enough that it has its own symbol: √x.
Answer:
Squaring and square root are inverses, so one should "undo" the other. That is, squaring the square root of a number results in the number. Using the power of a power rule, you multiply the exponents. Since a number to the first power is itself, the product of the exponents must equal 1. This means that the power of the square root must be the reciprocal of 2, or one half.
Step-by-step explanation:
A biologist is studying the migratory patterns of sandhill cranes. His study focuses only on sandhill cranes that are bred and hatched in Alaska, and eventually migrate south to warmer climates. Each year he randomly tags a sample of 50 cranes with GPS trackers to gather data about their migratory patterns.
In this scenario, the population is
.
In this scenario, the sample is
Answer:
Population = All Sandhill cranes bred and hatched in Alaska that migrate south
Sample = The 50 crane samples which are tagged yearly.
Step-by-step explanation:
The population refers to all members or subjects which belongs to a defined study. Each and every subject which meets the requirement of a study makes up the population.
The sample however, is a subset of the population, the sample is a smaller group of subject which is selected from the population randomly to for a representative sample of the population. Here, it is the 50 sampled sandhill cranes bed per year.

Answer:
(64x^28)/(5y^22)
Step-by-step explanation:
The applicable rules of exponents are ...
(a^b)^c = a^(bc)
(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)
(a^b)/(a^c) = a^(b-c)
__
First, eliminate the outside exponent on the left factor. Then use the above rules to combine factors with the same base.
[tex]\displaystyle\left(\frac{4x^4}{5y^6}\right)^5\cdot\left(\frac{5^4y^8}{4^2x^{-8}}\right)=\frac{(4^5x^{20})(5^4y^8)}{(5^5y^{30})(4^2x^{-8})}=4^{5-2}5^{4-5}x^{20-(-8)}y^{8-30}\\\\=4^35^{-1}x^{28}y^{-22}=\boxed{\frac{64x^{28}}{5y^{22}}}[/tex]
Samples of rejuvenated mitochondria are mutated (defective) in 2% of cases. Suppose 12 samples are studied, and they can be considered to be independent for mutation. Determine the following probabilities.
(a) No samples are mutated.
(b) At most one sample is mutated.
(c) More than half the samples are mutated.
(c) is 0.00
Round your answers to two decimal places
Answer:
a) 0.7847 = 78.47% probability that no samples are mutated.
b) 0.9769 = 97.69% probability that at most one sample is mutated.
c) 0% probability that more than half the samples are mutated.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each sample, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are mutated, or they are not. The probability of a sample being mutated is independent of any other sample, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
And p is the probability of X happening.
2% of cases.
This means that [tex]p = 0.02[/tex]
12 samples are studied
This means that [tex]n = 12[/tex].
(a) No samples are mutated.
This is [tex]P(X = 0)[/tex]. So
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{12,0}.(0.02)^{0}.(0.98)^{12} = 0.7847[/tex]
0.7847 = 78.47% probability that no samples are mutated.
(b) At most one sample is mutated.
This is:
[tex]P(X \geq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)[/tex]
Then
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{12,0}.(0.02)^{0}.(0.98)^{12} = 0.7847[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{12,1}.(0.02)^{1}.(0.98)^{11} = 0.1922[/tex]
[tex]P(X \geq 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.7847 + 0.1922 = 0.9769[/tex]
0.9769 = 97.69% probability that at most one sample is mutated.
(c) More than half the samples are mutated.
This is:
[tex]P(X > 6) = P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) + P(X = 11) + P(X = 12)[/tex]
So
[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{12,7}.(0.02)^{7}.(0.98)^{5} \approx 0[/tex]
So the others(greater than 7) wil be 0 too
0% probability that more than half the samples are mutated.

State whether the data described below are discrete or continuous and explain why?
The distance between cities in a certain contry.
a. The data are discrete because the data can only take on specific values.
b. The data are discrete because the data can take on any value in an interval.
c. The data are continuous because the data can take on any value in an interval.
d. The data are continuous because the data can only take on specific values.
Answer:
c. The data are continuous because the data can take on any value in an interval.
Step-by-step explanation:
Discrete data are those which can take up only specific values. Discrete data values may include the number of children in a particular school, the number of visitors received per day. All this values are specific and cannot just take up any number one f values within an interval. Continous data on the other hand can take up any number of data values between an interval. Continous data types are usually height temperature, length(distance data). There can be infinite number of possible data within interval values.

A researcher investigated whether following a vegetarian diet could help to reduce blood pressure. For a sample of 85 people who followed a vegetarian diet for 4 months, the mean systolic blood pressure was 124 mmHg. For a sample of 75 people who followed a non-vegetarian diet for 4 months, the mean systolic blood pressure was 138 mmHg. Methods of statistics show that if a vegetarian diet had no effect on blood pressure, there would be less than 1 chance in 100 of getting these results. Does the result have statistical significance? Why or why not? Does the result have practical significance?
Answer:
Yes, the result does not have statistical significance
Yes, the result has practical significance
Step-by-step explanation:
An experiment or claim may be said to be statistically significant if it's occurence is likely not due to chance for a certain level of stated significance. From the scenario described, it is stated that if vegetarian diet has no effect on blood, then the result obtained wipukd likely occur in less Than 1 of 100 ; this is < 0.01. This means that the effect of vegetarian diet on blood could not have occurred by chance. Hence, result is statistically significant.
The result does have practical significance too, since there is a distinctive difference in blood pressure of non - vegetarians(138mmHg) and Vegetarians (124mmHg).

The solution for 7x + 4 = x – 2
Answer:
x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Add two on both sides. This makes the equation 7x + 6 = x. Now subtract 7x on both sides. This equals 6 = -6x. Divide by -1 on both sides. x = -1.

QUESTION 1
The adult dosage of a medication is 15 mg** per day.
1. What is the pediatric dosage of that same medication for a child weighing 52 pounds? Refer to the formula below:
(Child weight divided by 150 lbs.) x Adult Dose = Pediatric Dosage
2. Explain in a well-written paragraph
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the adult dosage = 15 mg/day.
1. The pediatric dosage for a child weighing 52 pounds can be determined by;
Pediatric Dosage = (Child weight divided by 150 lbs.) x Adult Dose
= [tex]\frac{52}{150}[/tex] x 15 mg/day
= 5.2 mg/day
The pediatric dosage of the medication for a child weighing 52 pounds is 5.2 mg per day.
2. The medication can be consume by either an adult or a pediatric at a measured quantity. If an adult takes 15 mg of the medication per day, then any child whose weight is 52 pounds can take a maximum quantity of 5.2 mg of the medication per day. This implies that a child of the measured weight should not take more than 5.2 mg of the medication per day, and probably not at once.
The dosage of the medication for a pediatric can be determined by;
Pediatric Dosage = (Child weight divided by 150 lbs.) x Adult Dose
That is, once the weight of a child is determined, the dosage can be calculated.
