Answer:

10 termites will destroy 0.000084kg of wood per week

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert milligram to kilogram

1.2mg=(1.2 / 1,000,000)kg

1.2mg=0.0000012kg

1 termite destroys=0.0000012kg per day

10 termites will destroy (per day) =0.0000012×10 termites per day

10 termites in one day will destroy=0.000012kg

There are 7 days in a week

Therefore,

10 termites will destroy=destruction per day × 7 days

=0.000012×7

=0.000084kg per week

Draw a bar model that shows how the number of hours in March compares with the number of hours in February of this year.
gogolik [260]
Okay so first we need to find how many days are in March and February. March has 31 days and because this year was a leap year February has 29 days.

The next step is to convert days to hours.
March: 31x24=744
February: 29x24=696

Now its time to graph

The heights of 1000 students are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 174.5 centimeters and a standard deviation of
yuradex [85]
A. The mean and standard deviation.

The mean of a sampling distribution is approximately equal to the mean of the population. Given that the mean of the population is equal to 174.5, the mean of the sampling distribution is also this value.

The standard deviation of a sample distribution is equal to,

                u(m) = u/sqrt n

Substituting the known values,

               u(m) = 6.9 / sqrt 25 = 1.38

b. Get the z-score of both items,
         
      z-score = (data point - mean) / standard deviation

 z-score of 172.5
     z-score = (172.5 - 174.5) / 1.38 = -1.49
This translates to 0.068.

z-score of 175.8
   z-score = (175.8 - 174.5) / 1.38 = 0.94
This translates to 0.83. 

The difference between the two z-scores is 0.762. 

 The number of samples with this height is 0.762(200) which is equal to approximately 152.

c. z-score of 172 centimeters
   
    z-score = (172 - 174.5) / 1.38
  
    z-score = -1.81
This translates to 0.03.

The number of people with this height from the sample is (0.03)(200) = 6

The first three terms of a geometric sequence are shown below. x+3,-2x2-6x,4x3+12x2,.... What is the eighth term of the sequence
nika2105 [10]
So hmm is a geometric sequence, meaning, the next term is found by multiplying it by "something", namely the "common ratio"

now, if the next term is the product of the common ratio and the previous term, that means, if we divide the previous term by the next term, the quotient will then be the "common ratio", let's do that then

let's divide the 2nd term by the 1st term then

\bf \cfrac{-2x^2-6x}{x+3}\implies \cfrac{-2x\underline{(x+3)}}{\underline{(x+3)}}\implies \boxed{-2x}\impliedby \textit{common ratio}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\

\bf n^{th}\textit{ term of a geometric sequence}\\\\
a_n=a_1\cdot r^{n-1}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{value of first term}\\
r=\textit{common ratio}\\
----------\\
a_1=x+3\\
n=8\\
r=-2x
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
a_8=(x+3)(-2x)^{8-1}\implies a_8=(x+3)(-2x)^7
\\\\\\
a_8=(x+3)(-2^7x^7)\implies a_8=(x+3)(-128x^7)
\\\\\\
a_8=-128x^8-384x^7
