Answers

Answer 1
The answer to this question is B
Answer 2

Alejandro is correct because the 20 falls between 4 and 5 and the decimal terminates. Option B is correct.

Given that,
Frankie argues that the fraction 20 is a rational number because the square root of 20 is 10. Frankie believes that because 10 is a whole number, it is rational. Alejandro disagrees. He believes that 20 is a rational number because the square root falls between 4 and 5, and the decimal terminates.

What is a rational number?

Rational numbers are numbers that can be structured in the form of the fraction of integers. Eg- 5/6, 2/3 etc.

Here,
20 is a rational number but its square root is not 10 so, Frankie is not correct.
The square root of 20 falls between 4 and 5 the decimal terminates. its true and Alejandro is correct.

Thus, Alejandro is correct because the 20 falls between 4 and 5 and the decimal terminates. Option B is correct.

An architect built a scale model of a shopping mall. On the model, a circular fountain is 21 inches tall and 17.5 inches in diameter. If the actual fountain is to be 6 feet tall, what will its diameter be?

Answers

Answer:

The diameter is 5ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Height : Diameter = 21\ in: 17.5\ in[/tex]

Required

Determine the diameter when the height is 6ft

Recall that the scale is a ratio of height to diameter;

So 6ft height can be represented on the following scale model;

[tex]Height : Diameter = 6ft : x[/tex]

Convert to fraction

[tex]\frac{Height}{Diameter} = \frac{6}{x}[/tex] ---- (1)

Recall that:

[tex]Height : Diameter = 21\ in: 17.5\ in[/tex]

Convert to fraction

[tex]\frac{Height}{Diameter} = \frac{21 }{17.5}[/tex] ---- (2)

Equate (1) & (2)

[tex]\frac{6}{x}= \frac{21 }{17.5}[/tex]

Cross Multiply

[tex]21 * x = 6 * 17.5[/tex]

[tex]21x = 105[/tex]

[tex]x = 105/21[/tex]

[tex]x = 5[/tex]

Hence, the diameter is 5ft

the lenth of a quarter is 0.955 inch round the length of a quarter to the nearest tenth of an inch.

Answers

Answer: 1 inch

Step-by-step explanation: when you round to the tenth place, you look at the number to the right of the decimal. Because it is .95, you round up. If it was .94 or under, you would round down. .95 rounded up would make 10 in the tenths place, so we add our decimal to get 1.0, or 1 inch

Find the slope of the line that passes through each pair of points

Answers

Answer:

Slope of 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First thing is to look at the change in x and y from the points. You can do this by subtracting the x valie from the other value and the same for the y values. So you would do 2-0=2.

So we know the change in x between the points, so now we find the change in y. 5-1=4.

Now that we know the change in x and y, we use the expression below to solve for the slope.

[tex] \frac{rise}{run} \: or \: \frac{y}{x} [/tex]

We can insert what we found and then solve for the equation

[tex] \frac{4}{2} [/tex]

So we solve for that, which is 2. Now we know the slope is 2.

Answer:

given us,

(x1y1)= (2,5)

(x2y2)= (0,1)

here,

(y-y1)= (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)× (x-x1)

or, (y-5)=(1-5)/(0-2)× (x-2)

or, y-5= -4/-2 ×(x-2)

or,y-5= 2(x-2)

or, y-5/ x-2= 2

or,y-5= 2x-4

or, 2x-y= -4+5

:. 2x-y= 1

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-y= 1

Hey kk

working alone, kali can pick forty bushels of apples in 15 hours,l. One day her friend Natalie helped her and it only took 6 hours. How long would it take Natalie to do it alone.​

(please help I'm struggling)

Answers

Answer:

The time it will take Natalie to pick the forty bushels alone is 10 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The time it takes Kali to pick forty bushels of apples alone = 15 hours

The time it takes Kali and Natalie to pick forty bushels = 6 hours

The rate at which Kali picks bushels = 40/15 bushels per hour  = 8/3 bushels per hour  

Let x represents the rate at which Natalie picks bushels, we have;

8/3 × 6 + x × 6 = 40

x × 6 = 40 - 8/3 × 6 = 24

x = 24/6 = 4

Therefore;

The rate at which Natalie picks the bushels of apples = 4 bushels/hour

The time it will take Natalie to pick the forty bushels alone = (40 bushels)/(4 bushels/hour) = 10 hours.

A well respected wild life researcher recently conducted a
study of wild Jackalopes. He trapped and weighed 60 adult
wild Jackalopes in an attempt to gauge their health. As a
population, if a species loses weight it could be a signal
that the health of the population is in danger. Research conducted 10 years prior found that the population mean was 69.9 pounds. Test the claim that population mean of wild Jackalopes is equal to 69.9 lbs. Use a significance level of .01.

Claim: ______________
Null Hypothesis: ________
Alternative Hypothesis: ___________________________
Test Statistic: (state the statistic and find it’s value):
Find the pvalue for the given test statistic:
At the 0.01 significance level would you reject the null or fail to reject the null? Justify your answer.
What final conclusion could you draw from your research?

Answers

Answer:

Claim : men weigh of wild jackalopes is 69.9

The null hypothesis : H0 : μ = 69.9

Alternative hypothesis : H1 : μ ≠ 69.9

Test statistic = −2.447085

P value = 0.0174

Conclusion :

Fail to Reject the Null hypothesis

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given :

The claim is that : mean weight of wild jackalopes is still the same as 10 years with a mean weight of 69.9 lbs.

The null hypothesis : H0 : μ = 69.9

Alternative hypothesis : H1 : μ ≠ 69.9

Using calculator :

Sample mean (x) = 66

Sample standard deviation (s) = 12.345

The test statistic t :

(x - μ) / (s/√n)

n = sample size = 60

(66 - 69.9) / (12.345 / √60)

t = −2.447085

P value at α 0.01, df = 59 is 0.0174

Since the p value is > 0.01, the result is not significant at 0.01. Therefore, we fail to reject the Null

What single percentage change is equivalent to a 8% decrease followed by a 15% decrease

Answers

Answer:

Calculate Percentage Decrease:

First, work out the difference (decrease) between the two numbers you are comparing. Next, divide the decrease by the original number and multiply the answer by 100.

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage change is equivalent to a 8% decrease followed by a 15% decrease is 78.2%.

What is Percentage?

To determine the quantity or percentage of something in terms of 100, use the percentage formula. Per cent simply means one in a hundred. Using the percentage formula, a number between 0 and 1 can be expressed. A number that is expressed as a fraction of 100 is what it is. It is mostly used to compare and determine ratios and is represented by the symbol %.

Given:

We have to find percentage change is equivalent to a 8% decrease followed by a 15% decrease.

So, (1- 8%)(1- 15%)

= (1- 8/100)(1-15/100)

= (1-0.8)(1-0.15)

= 0.92 x 0.85

= 0.782

Now, converting to percentage

= 0.782 x 100/100

= 78.2 /100

= 78.2%

Ella made a checker board. Each individual square has a side with a length of x + 3. Find the area of the ENTIRE board in terms of x if each side of the board is made up of 6 congruent squares.

Answers

Answer:

Total area of board = 36x² + 324 + 216x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Side of square = x + 3

Total number of square = 6 x 6 = 36

Area of each square = Side x Side

Area of each square = (x + 3)²

Area of each square = x² + 9 + 6x

Total area of board = 36[Area of each square]

Total area of board = 36[x² + 9 + 6x]

Total area of board = 36x² + 324 + 216x

Answers

Answer:

b)15.75 and 2.9432

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the mean and the standard deviation is shown below:

The mean of a binomial distribution is:

[tex]\mu[/tex] = np

And the standard deviation is

[tex]\sigma[/tex] =  √(npq)

where,

n = 35,

p = 0.45,

and q = 1 - 045 =  0.55

Now mean is

= 35 × 0.45

= 15.75

And, the standard deviation is  

= √(35 × 0.45 × 0.55)

= 2.9432

Hence, the correct option is B.
