To estimate the number of bricks needed to build a wall, first measure a single brick.
A wall built from brick not only adds security and strength to your property, it also provides a pleasing geometric backdrop for the landscaping. Because of the bricks' size and weight, homeowners generally arrange to have the amount needed for a large project delivered by the masonry company or lumberyard. Doing so requires that you estimate the number of bricks needed before placing the order.
Step 1
Measure the length and thickness of one of the bricks that will be used in the wall. A standard brick is 2-1/4 inches wide and 7-1/2 to 8 inches long. Add 1/2 inch to both the length and thickness to account for the mortar joint between adjacent bricks. For example, a brick that is 2-1/4 inches by 7-1/2 inches, plus mortar joints, will occupy 2 3/4 inches by 8 inches.
Step 2
Measure the length of the space for the wall and convert the number to inches. Divide the length in inches by the length of a brick plus mortar joint. For example, a wall 36 feet, 8 inches long is 440 inches long (36 X 12 = 432 + 8 = 440). Each course (single layer) of bricks will need 440 / 8 = 55 bricks.

Doing so requires that you estimate the number of bricks needed before placing the orderStep 3
Determine the desired height of the wall in inches, and divide the height by the thickness of a brick and mortar joint. For example, a wall 72 inches tall requires 26.18 courses of 2-3/4-inch-wide bricks; rounded up to 27 courses.
Step 4
Multiply the number of bricks per course (55) by the number of courses (27) to obtain the number of bricks in a single-thickness wall or veneer. For our example, the number is 1,485 bricks. Double that number for a double-thickness wall. Bricklayers generally add 5 percent to the estimate to cover broken or wasted bricks, for about 1,560 bricks in this case

Step-by-step explanation:
The probability that a student in the sample data is enrolled in painting Given that the student is female is a conditional probability and can be defined as :
Let,
F = Female ; P = painting
P(Painting Given female) = P(P|F) = (PnF) / F
From the table :
(PnF) = 16
F = 84
Hence,
P(P|F) = 16 / 84 = 0.19047 = 0.19047 * 100%

If Joanne can paint a room in 3 hours and her sister Angela can paint the same room in 4 hours, how long (in h) would it take Joanne and Angela to paint the room working together? Round to the nearest tenth.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If J can paint a room in 3 hours, in 1 hour she gets [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] of the job done.
If A can paint a room in 4 hours, in 1 hour she gets [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] of the job done. We need to find out how long it takes them if they paint together. The equation for this is:
[tex]\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{x}[/tex] where x is the number of hours it takes them to get the job done together. Multiply everything through by 12x to get
4x + 3x = 12 so
7x = 12 and
x = 1.7 hours to get the room painted together.

Consider that choice B is the same as saying 2x^2+1x^0.
The exponents 2 and 0 are both even, which is sufficient to say that the entire polynomial function itself is also even.
Something like choice A expands out and simplifies to x^2-2x+2, and that's equivalent to saying x^2+2x^1+2x^0. The presence of the x^1 term, with its odd exponent, is what makes choice A not even (it's not odd either).
Similarly, choices C and D also have exponents of 1, so they aren't even either.

To do this, we make use of the following distance formula;
[tex]d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]d = \sqrt{(-3 - 2)^2 + (6 - 1)^2}[/tex]
[tex]d = \sqrt{(-5)^2 + 5^2}[/tex]
[tex]d = \sqrt{25 + 25}[/tex]
[tex]d = \sqrt{50}[/tex]
[tex]d = 7.07[/tex]
f(x) = (x + 1)^2
Determine for each x-value whether it is in the domain of f
or not.
Answer:
All of them are in the domain.
Step-by-step explanation:
The function is f(x)= (x+1)^2. If you simplify this, you get y=x^2+2x+1=0. This is a quadratic that opens upwards. There are no gaps in the x values and no impossible values. The domain is all real numbers and all the answer choices are real numbers.

J. Aitchison collected expenditures data for 20 randomly selected single men and 20 randomly selected single women. He uses the data to conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the mean percent of expenditures that goes toward housing (including fuel and light) is different for men and women. What is the correct alternative hypothesis?
a. Md = 0
b. μα = 0
c. ud > 0
d. Opmen — Вwomen
e. Himen > Mwomen
f. Mmen Mwomen
Answer:
The alternative hypothesis is [tex]H_1: \mu_M - \mu_W \neq 0[/tex], considering M for men and W for women.
Step-by-step explanation:
He uses the data to conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the mean percent of expenditures that goes toward housing (including fuel and light) is different for men and women.
At the null hypothesis, we test if there is not difference, that is, the difference of the mean is 0, so:
[tex]H_0: \mu_M - \mu_W = 0[/tex]
At the alternative hypothesis, we test if there is a difference, that is, the difference of the means is different of 0, so:
[tex]H_1: \mu_M - \mu_W \neq 0[/tex]
Suppose that two teams play a series of games that end when one of them has won i games. Suppose that each game played is, independently, won by team A with probability p. Find the expected number of games that are played when i = 2. Also show that this number is maximized when p= 21.
Answer:
a) E(x) = -2p^2 + 2p + 2
b) Number is maximized when p = 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Determine the Expected number of games when ( i ) = 2
The number of possible combinations that both teams win two games :
AA, BB, ABB, ABA, BAA, BAB = 6 combinations
P( team A winning ) = p
P( team B wins ) = 1 - p
Attached below is the detailed solution on the expected number of games
expected number of games ; E(x) = -2p^2 + 2p + 2
ii) Number is maximized when p = 1/2
In this exercise we will use the knowledge of probability and combination, so we have what will be:
a)[tex]E(x) = -2p^2 + 2p + 2[/tex]
b)[tex]p = 1/2[/tex]
Organizing the information given in the statement as:
Expected number of games when ( i ) = 2A)The number of possible combinations that both teams win two games :
[tex]AA, BB, ABB, ABA, BAA, BAB = 6 \ combinations\\P( team\ A \ winning ) = p\\P( team \ B \ wins ) = 1 - p\\E(x) = -2p^2 + 2p + 2[/tex]
B) To calculate the maximum number we must solve the quadratic equation, like this:
[tex]p=1/2[/tex]

A plane is flying at an altitude of 13,000 ft, where the temperature is -2 degrees F. The nearby airport, at an altitude of 2,000ft, is reporting precipitation. If the temperature increases 2.1 degrees F for every 1000-ft decrease in altitude, will the precipitation at the airport be rain or snow? Assume that rain changes to snow at 32 degrees F.
Is the precipitation at the airport rain or snow?
9514 1404 393
Answer:
snow
Step-by-step explanation:
The relationship between temperature and altitude is given as ...
T = -2 +((13000 -a)/1000)×2.1
We can put a=2000 into this equation to find the temperature at that altitude.
T = -2 +((13000 -2000)/1000)×2.1 = -2 +11(2.1) = -2 +23.1 = 21.1
The airport temperature of 21.1 °F is below 32 °F, so we expect the precipitation to be snow.

Simple Interest
Let loan amount be = P
R = 16%
T = 5years
I = 9600
Find P
[tex]I = \frac{PRT}{100}\\\\9600 = \frac{P \times 16 \times 5}{100}\\\\P = \frac{9600 \times 100}{16 \times 5} = 12,000[/tex]
Marina spent $13.50 at the grocery store. She bought pears, kiwis, and pineapples. Pears cost $0.50 each, pineapples cost $1.50 each, and kiwis are $0.30 each.How many of each kind did she buy if she bought 9 more pears than pineapples and 2 fewer kiwis than pears? Branliest if correct.
Answer:
Number of pineapples = 10
Number of pears = 10 + 9 = 19
Number of kiwis = 10 - 2 = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Money = $ 13.5
Cost of a pear = $ 0.5
Cost of a pineapple = $ 1.5
Cost of a kiwi = $ 0.3
let the number of pineapple = p
Number of pears = p + 9
Number of kiwis = p - 2
Cost is
0.5 (p + 9) + 0.15 p + 0.3 (p - 2) = 13.5
0.5 p + 4.5 + 0.15 p + 0.3 p - 0.6 = 13.5
0.95 p = 9.6
p = 10
So, number of pineapples = 10
Number of pears = 10 + 9 = 19
Number of kiwis = 10 - 2 = 8
Answer:
3 pineapples 12 pears 10 kiwis

Answer:
The law which states that the ratio of the sine of an angle to the side opposite it is constant is the Law of Sines.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Law of Sines states that in any given triangle, the ratio of the length of any side to the sine of its opposite angle is the same for all three sides of the triangle and has a constant value.
The law which states that the ratio of the sine of an angle to the side opposite it is constant is the Law of sine.
Here,
We have to find, the law which states that the ratio of the sine of an angle to the side opposite it is constant.
What is Law of sine?
If A, B, and C are the measurements of the angles of an oblique triangle, and a, b, and c are the lengths of the sides opposite of the corresponding angles, then the ratios of the a side's length to the sine of the angle opposite the side must all be the same.
Now,
