    Stand. Dev. Of sample in central limit theorem

    You DO have to be careful with Small Populations. Look up "Finite Population Correction Factor". Without that, you can mandate samples greater than the entre population. That's obviously no good. P.S. Thank you for thanking. When we get enough information and we can answer the question...

    solving arithmetics squence

    Write out an expression that represents the answer. If there are only two rows, 600 + 660 = 70,800, for example. Obviously, this is preposterous and will not lead you to a solution. What needs to be changed to make it other than preposterous? Obviously, again, two rows is an nsufficient...

    Stand. Dev. Of sample in central limit theorem

    How could it be anything else? \sqrt{n} is rather a clear indication.

    Exam problem I failed

    The purpose of my response was to invite YOU to participate more effectively in the solution. You're not going to supply the correct monthly discount factor?

    Exam problem I failed

    I think we are masterfully confused. Are these payments DAILY or MONTHLY or both? We'll need a problem statement that makes sense. So far, we don't have one. For 2 reasons, I do not believe we are replacing ONLY the "April Payment": 1) Why are there remaining payments after the debt is...

    Quadratic Formula I think??

    Have you considered presenting the ENTIRE problem and some of your own work?

    Adjusting performance for number of days employed

    I don't understand your goal. all of your "average" business may not be meaningful at all. Average number of days. Average DAILY SALES. ARE THOSE REALLY MEANINGFUL OR USEFUL? Maybe just draw a line? It doesn't have to be a line. Choose any kind of mechanism you like? Seems to me, though...

    Completing the square

    How would you multiply 23*23 = 23^2? 2^2 + 3^3 = 4 + 9 = 13. Hmm... That doesn't seem to work How about 20*(23) + 3*23 - 460 + 69 = 529... That seems better. Maybe (20 + 3)*(20 + 3) = 400 + 60 + 60 + 9 = 529... Now we're getting somewhere. It is NO difference with variable names. Use...

    Solving for Interest rate (r) where Principa (P) and Monthly Payment (m) are known

    In general, there is no DIRECT solution for the interest rate, given all the other pieces. Iterative, numerical methods are the way to go.

    Solving for Interest rate (r) where Principa (P) and Monthly Payment (m) are known

    You could notice that (1+t)^104 / (1+t)^104 = 1.

    Finding unknown fractional variables in an equation applying distributive law.

    Who told you that variable names were ANY different from numbers? Why did you believe them? 2(3+4) = 2*3 + 2*4 x(y+z) = x*y + x*x cat(dog + mouse) = cat*dog + cat * mouse

    Help me with this question.

    Not enough information. One must know WHEN in November the birthdayS are and WHO HAS OR HAS NOT HAD A BIRTHDAY IN THE OBSERVATION MONTH.

    Density question. Is my answer correct ?

    No good. Your units will save you. "0.8 g" Cannot BE a density. It's a mass.

    Please verify my answer

    Now, you tell us if that negative sign should be there.

    I can't seem to figure what this equation is

    In the old days, 69! was the greatest factorial that could be represented on the screen of a hand-held calculator. This was a limit imposed by the 2-digit exponent. Listen to your words: "There is no context." This is utterly preposterous. Who gave it to you? Context. Was there a question...

    I can't seem to figure what this equation is

    Sorry, but "18 DECIMAL" doesn't mean anything. It MAY mean, 18 digits left of the decimal point.
