First 1/2 was cup off, then 1/3 of the remaining 1/2 was cut off. 1/3 of 1/2 is 1/6, and 1/2 in sixths as well is 3/6. That is 4/6 cut off in total. 
There was 2 meters left, which was the remaining 2/6 left over. 
2/6 is equal to 1/3, so to get the original length multiply 2 by 3 to get 6 meters. 
Hope this helps!

a teacher needs 70 lengths of string cut to 40 cm each. If balls of string are 10 m long how many balls will be needed
LenKa [72]
A meter is 100 cm. A ball of string has 10m of string, and you multiply 10m by 100cm, you get 1,000cm. Then you multiply 40cm by 2, and you get 80cm, or two lengths of string. Then you multiply 35, which is half of 70, by 80, and that is 2,800 cm.
2,800
÷40cm=70
And 100cm=1m.
The teacher will therefore need 28 balls of string.

A survey of 132 students is selected randomly on a large university campus. They are asked if they use a laptop in class to take
ddd [48]

Answer:

For 90% CI = (0.428, 0.572)

For 98% CI = (0.399, 0.601)

The confidence interval (and Margin of error) reduces when 90% confidence level is used compared to when 98% confidence level is used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval can be defined as a range of values so defined that there is a specified probability that the value of a parameter lies within it.

The confidence interval of a statistical data can be written as.

p+/-z√(p(1-p)/n)

Given that;

Proportion p = 66/132 = 0.50

Number of samples n = 132

Confidence level = 90%

z(at 90% confidence) = 1.645

Substituting the values we have;

0.50 +/- 1.645√(0.50(1-0.50)/132)

0.50 +/- 1.645√(0.001893939393)

0.50 +/- 0.071589436011

0.50 +/- 0.072

(0.428, 0.572)

The 90% confidence level estimate of the true population proportion of students who responded "yes" is (0.428, 0.572)

For 90% CI = (0.428, 0.572)

For 98% CI = (0.399, 0.601)

The confidence interval (and Margin of error) reduces when 90% confidence level is used compared to when 98% confidence level is used.

A drawer contains 4 capsules numbered 2, 3, 5, and 8. a sample of size 3 is drawn with replacement. what is the standard deviati
Snezhnost [94]
The table below summarises the calculation for the standard deviation of x-bar.

\begin{tabular}
{|c|c|c|c|}
Drawing (x)&$\bar{x}$&$x-\bar{x}$&$(x-\bar{x})^2\\[1ex]
2,2,2&2&-2.5&6.25\\
2,2,3&2.3&-2.2&4.84\\
2,2,5&3&-1.5&2.25\\
2,2,8&4&-0.5&0.25\\
2,3,3&2.7&-1.8&3.24\\
2,3,5&3.3&-1.2&1.44\\
2,3,8&4.3&-0.2&0.04\\
2,5,5&4&-0.5&0.25\\
2,5,8&5&0.5&0.25\\
2,8,8&6&1.5&2.25\\
3,3,3&3&-1.5&2.25\\
3,3,5&3.7&-0.8&0.64\\
3,3,8&4.7&0.2&0.04\\
3,5,5&4.3&-0.2&0.04\\
3,5,8&5.3&0.8&0.64\\
3,8,8&6.3&1.8&3.24\\
5,5,5&5&0.5&0.25\\
5,5,8&6&1.5&2.25\\
5,8,8&7&2.5&6.25\\
8,8,8&8&3.5&12.25\\
\end{tabular}

\sum\bar{x}=89.9 \\  \\ \bar{\bar{x}}= \frac{\sum\bar{x}}{n}=\frac{89.9}{20} \approx4.5 \\  \\ \sum(x-\bar{x})^2=30.41 \\  \\ s.d= \sqrt{ \frac{\sum(x-\bar{x})^2}{n} } = \sqrt{ \frac{30.41}{20} } = \sqrt{1.5205} =1.23

Therefore, the standard deviation of x-bar is approximately 1.23.
