Answer:

the intensity increases by a factor of 10, the Ritcher scale uses a logarithm with base 10. For example an earthquake with magnitude 2 is 10^2 times more intense than a standard earthquake, while an earthquake with magnitude 3 is 10^3 times more intense than a standard earthquake, and 10^3 = 10^2 • 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Because of the logarithmic basis of the scale, each whole number increase in magnitude represents a tenfold increase in measured amplitude; in terms of energy, each whole number increase corresponds to an increase of about 31.6 times the amount of energy released, and each increase of 0.2 corresponds to approximately a doubling of the energy released.

Answer:

a. 0.50

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard error of the mean is the standard deviation of the population divided by the square root of the sample size.

In this problem, we have that:

Standard deviation of the population: 6 hours

Sample size: 144

Square root of 144 is 12.

So the standard error of the sample mean is 6/12 = 0.5.

State the complement of each of the following sets: (a) Engineers with less than 36 months of full-time employment. (b) Samples
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

(a) Engineers with greater than 36 months of full-time employment.

(b) Samples of cement blocks with compressive strength greater than 6000 kilograms per square centimeter

(c) Measurements of the diameter of forged pistons that conform to engineering specifications.

(d) Cholesterol levels that measure less than 180 and greater than 220.

Step-by-step explanation:

The complement of a set refers to elements that does not exist in that set. It means what does not exist in the set but exist in the universal set.

(a) Engineers with greater than 36 months of full-time employment.

In this case, the Universal set is a set of engineers in full-time employment. The given set is for engineers with less than 36 months of full-time employment. The complement is engineers with greater than 36 months of full-time employment.

(b) Samples of cement blocks with compressive strength greater than 6000 kilograms per square centimeter

In this case, the universal set is a set of samples of cement block having compressive strength. The given set is a set of cement block having compressive strength less than 6000 kilograms per square centimeter. The complement is samples of cement blocks with compressive strength greater than 6000 kilograms per square centimeter.

(c) Measurements of the diameter of forged pistons that conform to engineering specifications.

In this case, the universal set is a set of measurements of the diameter of forged pistons. The given set is a set of measurements of the diameter of forged pistons that do not conform to engineering specifications. The complement is a set of measurements of the diameter of forged pistons that conforms to engineering specification.

(d) Cholesterol levels that measure less than 180 and greater than 220.

In this case, the universal set is a set of Cholesterol levels. The given set is Cholesterol levels that measure greater than 180 and less than 220. The complement is Cholesterol levels that measure less than 180 and greater than 220.

Write the denominator of the rational number257/500 in the form 2 m x 5 n , m and n are negative integers Hence write its decima
maw [93]

Answer:

0.514

Step-by-step Explantion:

Denominator = 500 = 2^2 * 5^3

257/500 = 257/2^2*5^3 = 2*257/2*2^2*5^3 = 514/2^3*5^3 = 514/(2*5)^3 = 514/10^3 = 0.514

EastWind [94]
(0,346)(2,344.8)
slope = (344.8 - 346) / (2 - 0) = -1.2 / 2 = -0.6

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -0.6
use either of ur points (0,346)...x = 0 and y = 346
now we sub and find b, the y int
346 = -0.6(0) + b
346 = b

so ur equation is : y = -0.6x + 346

after 4 weeks....x = 4
y = -0.6(4) + 346
y = -2.4 + 346
y = 343.6 <=== after 4 weeks it will be 343.6
