Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are taking only one measurement:  the height of one person.  Strictly speaking, this is NOT a statistical question.

"List the heights of a sample of 50 first-graders" would definitely be a stat. question.

The question 'How tall is Sam?' is not a statistical question. Statistical questions expect a variety of responses, not a singular answer. Height is typically measured in feet or centimeters.

The question 'How tall is Sam?' is not considered a statistical question. A statistical question is one in which the answer varies and requires data collection for multiple items or individuals to answer. It is one for which you don't expect to get a single answer. Instead, you expect to get a variety of different answers, and you're interested in the distribution and tendency of those answers. For instance, 'How tall are the students in a class?' is a statistical question because it would result in a variety of answers and we could analyze that data set.

The unit for height in this context typically is measured in feet or centimeters.

The probability of drawing a green followed by a black marble from a bag containing 25 marbles without replacement is found by multiplying the individual probabilities of each event. These are 4/25 for the green marble and 7/12 for the black marble after the first draw.

The subject of this question is probability within the field of Mathematics, suitable for a High School level student. The probability of drawing a green and black marble without replacement is a two-step probability problem. Given that there are 5 purple, 2 yellow, 4 green, and the rest black out of 25 marbles, we first need to calculate the total number of black marbles, which is 25 - (5 + 2 + 4) = 14. The probability of drawing a green marble first is 4 out of 25, which simplifies to 4/25. After a green marble is drawn, there are now 24 marbles left in the bag, with 14 being black. Therefore, the probability of then drawing a black marble is 14/24 or 7/12. To find the combined probability of both events occurring sequentially, we multiply the individual probabilities: (4/25) * (7/12). This calculation will give us the final probability of drawing a green and then a black marble without replacement.

n° = 62°

p° = 62°

q° = 118°

v° = 84°

w° = 138°

Step-by-step explanation:

angle ABC is 118°

so

m° + 118° = 180

m° = 180° - 118°

The segment LM is equal to segment LK.

Also, MN is same as KN, thus we can write:

[tex]MN=KN\\25=14x-3\\25+3=14x\\28=14x\\x=2[/tex]

Since, x = 2, we can get the side length LM:

[tex]LM=LK=9x+5\\LM=LK=9(2)+5\\LM=23[/tex]

Hence, LM = 23 units

Answer:

LM = 23 units

Step-by-step explanation:

From figure we can see an isosceles triangle KNM

KN = NM

NL is the perpendicular from N to KM,

Therefore KL = LM

To find the value of x

From figure we can write,

14x - 3 = 25

14x = 25 + 3 = 28

x = 28/14 = 2

To find LM

LM = KL

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Find sin(2x)

we know that

[tex]sin(2x)=2sin(x)cos(x)[/tex]

we have

[tex]sin(x)=\frac{1}{9}[/tex]

Find cos(x)

Remember that

[tex]sin^{2}(x)+cos^{2}(x)=1[/tex]

[tex]cos^{2}(x)=\frac{80}{81}[/tex]

[tex]cos(x)=\frac{\sqrt{80}}{9}[/tex]

[tex]cos(x)=4\frac{\sqrt{5}}{9}[/tex] -----> is positive because angle x belong to the I quadrant

Find sin(2x)

we have

[tex]sin(x)=\frac{1}{9}[/tex]

[tex]cos(x)=4\frac{\sqrt{5}}{9}[/tex]

so

[tex]sin(2x)=2sin(x)cos(x)[/tex]

[tex]sin(2x)=2(\frac{1}{9})(4\frac{\sqrt{5}}{9})[/tex]

[tex]sin(2x)=8\frac{\sqrt{5}}{81}[/tex]

Part 2) Find cos(2x)

we know that

[tex]cos(2x)=cos^{2}(x)-sin^{2}(x)[/tex]

we have

[tex]sin(x)=\frac{1}{9}[/tex]

[tex]cos(x)=4\frac{\sqrt{5}}{9}[/tex]

so

[tex]cos(2x)=(4\frac{\sqrt{5}}{9})^{2}-(\frac{1}{9})^{2}[/tex]

[tex]cos(2x)=\frac{80}{81}-\frac{1}{81}[/tex]

[tex]cos(2x)=\frac{79}{81}[/tex]

[tex]C=180-(21.24+27.14)[/tex]

[tex]C=131.62[/tex]

We cannot find any of the sides. Since there is noting to show us size, there is simply just not enough information; we need at least one side to use the rule of sines and find the other ones. Also, since there is nothing showing us size, each side can have more than one value.  

For triangle #2

In this one, we can find everything and there is one one value for each.

- We can find side c

Since we have a right triangle, we can find side c using the Pythagorean theorem

Where:

[tex]a_1=152\\a_n=a_{24}[/tex]

You should find  [tex]a_{24}[/tex]

The formula to find it is:

[tex]a_n=a_1+(n-1)d[/tex]

Where d is the difference between two consecutive terms.

[tex]d=138-152=-14[/tex]

Then:

[tex]a_{24}=152+(24-1)(14)=-170[/tex]

Substitute it into the first formula. Therefore, you obtain:

[tex]S_{24}=\frac{(152-170)(24)}{2}=-216[/tex]

Answer:

Sn = -216

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following sequence and we are to find the sum of the given sequence if there are 24 terms in it:

[tex] 152, 138, 124, ... [/tex]

We know that the formula of sum for an arithmetic sequence is given by:

[tex]S_n =\frac{n(a_1+a_n)}{2}[/tex]

where [tex]a_1[/tex] is the first term (124)and [tex]a_n[/tex] is the last term [tex]a_{24}[/tex].

To find [tex]a_1[/tex], we will use the following formual:

[tex]a_n=a_1+(n-1)d[/tex]

[tex]a_24=152+(24-1)(-14)[/tex]

[tex]a_{24}=170[/tex]

Substituting the given values in the above formula to get the sum:

[tex]S_n =\frac{24(152-170)}{2}[/tex]

[tex]S_n=-216[/tex]

Answer:

The height is 17 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a rectangular prism is

SA = 2(LW +WH + LH)

where L = length, W = width, and H = height

We know SA = 930, L = 12, and W = 9

930 = 2(12*9 +9H + 12H)

Divide each side by 2

930/2 = 2/2(12*9 +9H + 12H)

465 = (12*9 +9H + 12H)

Combine like terms

465 = 84+21H

Subtract 84 from each side

465-84 = 84-84+21H

357 = 21H

Divide by 21

357/21=21H/21

17 = H

The height is 17 ft

Answer:

Height is 17 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Rectangular Prism is also called cuboid

          Length, L = 12 ft.    and   width, W = 9 ft.

          Surface Area of cuboid, SA = 930 ft.²

To find: height , H

The surface area of a rectangular prism or cuboid

SA = 2(LW +WH + LH)

930 = 2(12×9 +9H + 12H)

[tex]\frac{930}{2}=108 +9H + 12H[/tex]

465 = 108 + 9H + 12H

108 + 9H + 12H  = 465

21H + 108 =  465

21H = 465 - 108

21H = 357

[tex]H=\farc{357}{21}[/tex]

H = 17  

therefore, Height is 17 ft.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

To calculate m use the slope formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, 6) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 1)

m = [tex]\frac{1-6}{2-1}[/tex] = - 5, hence

y = - 5x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

Using (1, 6), then

6 = - 5 + c ⇒ c = 6 + 5 = 11

y = - 5x + 11 → A

Now to find the equation of a line that passes through the points (1,6) and (2,1) we will use two point slope form

Two point slope form : [tex]y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)[/tex]

Substitute the values

[tex]y-6=\frac{1-6}{2-1}(x-1)[/tex]

[tex]y-6=-5(x-1)[/tex]

[tex]y-6=-5x+5[/tex]

[tex]y=-5x+11[/tex]

So, Option A is true.

Hence The equation of a line that passes through the points (1,6) and (2,1) is[tex]y=-5x+11[/tex]

13.4 grams of a 120 gram sample will remain radioactive after 30 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A radioactive substance has a decay rate of 0.073 per minute.

To find : How many grams of a 120 gram sample will remain radioactive after 30 minutes?          

Solution :

Using decaying formula,  

[tex]y(t)=y_o e^{-rt}[/tex]

Where, [tex]y_o=120[/tex] is the initial amount

r=0.073 is the decay rate

t=30 minute is the time

Substitute the value in the formula,

[tex]y(30)=120\times e^{-0.073\times 30}[/tex]

[tex]y(30)=120\times e^{-2.19}[/tex]

[tex]y(30)=120\times 0.1119[/tex]

[tex]y(30)=13.428[/tex]

[tex]y(30)=13.4[/tex]

Therefore, 13.4 grams of a 120 gram sample will remain radioactive after 30 minutes.

Answer:

13.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the given values into the formula: A(t)=Pert. Where P is the initial mass, r is the rate of decay, and t is time.  Note, the rate is negative because we are finding the rate of decay.  

A=120e−(0.073)(30)≈13.4

So, about 13.4 grams will remain after 30 minutes.

The length of the wire is bent into a square, making each side equal to 7x/4. The area of a square is found by squaring the length of one side, so the area, as a function of , is (7x/4)^2 or 49x^2/16.

The given information is that the length of the wire is 7x, and it is bent into a square. In a square, all sides are equal. Therefore, we can say that the length of each side of the square is 7x/4.

To find the area of a square, we simply square the length of one side. Thus, the area A of the square, expressed as a function of x, is (7x/4)^2 or 49x^2/16.

Therefore, the question's answer is that the area A of the square can be expressed as the function 49x^2/16.

https://brainly.com/question/34342199

#SPJ2

Final answer:

To express the area A of a square in terms of z, assuming the wire length is 7z, calculate the side length a as 7z/4 and then square it to get A = (7z/4)². If x is correct and unrelated to z, more information is needed.

Explanation:

To express the area A of a square as a function of z, given that a wire of length 7x is bent into the shape of a square, we follow these steps:

The perimeter of the square is equal to the length of the wire, which is 7x.

Since the perimeter P of a square is 4 times one of its sides a, we can write P = 4a. Therefore, 7x = 4a.

To find the side length a, we divide 7x by 4: a = 7x/4.

The area A of a square is the square of one of its sides, so A = a². By substituting a with 7x/4, we get A = (7x/4)².

Finally, we need to write the equation in terms of z. Here, it seems there might be an issue with the question, as there is no direct relationship provided between x and z. Assuming there's a typographical error and that the wire length is actually 7z, we can write a = 7z/4 and A = (7z/4)².

If x is indeed correct and unrelated to z, more information is required to express A as a function of z.

Answer:226,432.80

Step-by-step explanation:

Final answer:

Javier's total financed price for his home, excluding the longer-term interest but including the cost of buying points, is $97,920. This total includes the initial mortgage of $96,000 after a 20% down payment on a $120,000 home and the $1,920 spent on purchasing two points to reduce the interest rate.

Explanation:

Javier's home cost $120,000, and he was required to make a 20% down payment. Twenty percent of $120,000 is $24,000, which is the down payment amount. Therefore, the initial loan amount is $120,000 - $24,000 = $96,000.

Buying points typically costs 1% of the loan amount per point to lower the interest rate by a certain percentage. It is not specified how much the rate was lowered by purchasing 2 points, but we can calculate the cost. Two points on a $96,000 loan is 2% of $96,000, which equals $1,920.

Thus, the total financed price of the home, not counting interest payments over the term of the mortgage but including the cost of the points, is the initial loan amount plus the cost of the points: $96,000 initial loan + $1,920 for points = $97,920.

Answer:

The slope is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation is in slope intercept form

y = mx +b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = 5x+4

where 5 is the slope and 4 is the y intercept

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line:

y = mx + b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

We have the equation y = 5x + 4

Therefore the slope is m = 5

Answer:

The correct answer is

Z⁶Y³/Z⁶Y⁴ = 1/Y

Step-by-step explanation:

Points to remember

1).  xᵃ * xᵇ = xᵃ⁺ᵇ

2).  xᵃ/xᵇ = xᵃ⁻ᵇ

3).  x° = 1

4). x⁻ᵃ = 1/xᵃ

The given expression is Z⁶Y³/Z⁶Y⁴

To find the simplification of expression

Z⁶Y³/Z⁶Y⁴ =  Z⁶⁻⁶ * Y³⁻⁴

 =  Z° * Y⁻¹ = 1 * 1/Y = 1/Y

Therefore the value of given expression  Z⁶Y³/Z⁶Y⁴ is 1/Y

Answer:

The correct option is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given table shows the mean daily temperature in Idaho during a week in January.

Sunday = 0.7°F

Monday = -1.2°F

Tuesday = -1.8°F

Wednesday = 1.1°F

Thursday = 0°F

Friday = 0.2°F

Saturday = -0.4°F

Arrange the temperature in ascending order.

-1.8°F, -1.2°F, -0.4°F, 0°F, 0.2°F, 0.7°F, 1.1°F

It means the lowest mean temperature was on Tuesday and the highest mean temperature was on Wednesday.

Therefore the correct option is 1.

Answer:

The lowest mean temperature was on Tuesday.

THIS IS THE EXACT ANSWER ON TTM

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔNPM and ΔABM are similar. Therefore the sides are in proportion:

[tex]\dfrac{AM}{NM}=\dfrac{BM}{PM}[/tex]

We have

[tex]AM=71.5\ ft-22\ ft=49.5\ ft\\NM=71.5\ ft\\BM=x\\PM=97.5\ ft[/tex]

Substitute:

[tex]\dfrac{49.5}{71.5}=\dfrac{x}{97.5}[/tex]       cross multiply

[tex]71.5x=(49.5)(97.5)[/tex]

[tex]71.5x=4826.25[/tex]           divide both sides by 71.5

[tex]x=67.5[/tex]
