Melinda has several children and frequently marvels at how different each child is from one another. Jacob, her oldest son, took his first steps at 17 months whereas Clyde, her youngest son, took his first steps at 10.5 months old. Compare the number of months it took Clyde to take his first steps to the number of months it took Jacob using absolute and relative change.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Using absolute change, Clyde took 6.5 less months to take his first steps than Jacob.

Using relative change, it took Clyde 38.24% less time than Jacob to take his first steps.

Step-by-step explanation:

Absolute change:

A number, that is, the difference between two measures.

Jacob: 17 months

Clyde: 10.5 months.

17 - 10.5 = 6.5

Using absolute change, Clyde took 6.5 less months to take his first steps than Jacob.

Relative change:

Absolute change multiplied by 100% and divided by the reference value. So

6.5*100%/17 = 38.24%

Using relative change, it took Clyde 38.24% less time than Jacob to take his first steps.

Suppose that the null hypothesis is not rejected and that thereal truth is that the shampoo actually does make hair grow faster. What type of error, if any,occurred?

Answers

Answer:

Type II error occurred

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that a new shampoo is being tested to determine whether the hair grows faster by using this shampoo.

It is known that hair grow at 0.5 inches per month at average.

The hypothesis are,

Null hypothesis, [tex]$H_0: \mu=0.5$[/tex]

Alternate hypothesis, [tex]$H_1: \mu>0.5$[/tex]

But it is known that :

Type [tex]$I$[/tex] error occurs when rejecting the null hypothesis when the null hypothesis is true actually.

Type [tex]$II$[/tex] error occurs [tex]\text{when we fail reject the null hypothesis}[/tex] when the null hypothesis is actually false.

Answers

The area of the irregular polygon is 121.5 units squared.

How to find the area of an irregular polygon?

The irregular polygon can be divided into a rectangle and a pentagon.

Therefore, the area is the sum of the area of the pentagon and the rectangle.

Therefore,

area of the rectangle = 6 × 10 = 60 units²

area of the pentagon = 1/ 2 × perimeter × apothem

area of the pentagon = 1  /  2 × 30 × 4.1

area of the pentagon = 123 / 2

area of the pentagon = 61.5 units²

Therefore,

area of the irregular polygon = 61.5 + 60  = 121.5 units²

For which value of m does the graph of y = 18x2 + mx + 2 have exactly one x-intercept?

Answers

Answer:

m = +/- 12

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic function has only one x-intercept when the discriminant is equal to 0. The discriminant is b^2 - 4(a)(c).

When we plug in what we know, we have:

m^2 - 4(18)(2) = 0.

Then using algebraic properties, solve for m.

m^2 - 144 = 0

m^2 = 144

m = +/- 12

When you plug in positive or negative 12, and then factor you will see that it comes out to a difference of squares, proving that there is only one x-intercept.

2x + 3y = -14
y = 6x + 22
A. X = -2
B. X = 2
C. X = -4
D. X = 4

Answers

We are given the system of equations -:

[tex] \large{ \begin{cases} 2x + 3y = - 14 \\ y = 6x + 22 \end{cases}}[/tex]

Since the second equation is y-isolated equation. It can be substituted as y = 6x+22 in the first equation.

[tex] \large{2x + 3(6x + 22) = - 14}[/tex]

Expand 3 in the expression so we can combine like terms and isolate x-variable.

[tex] \large{2x + 18x + 66 = - 14}[/tex]

Then combine like terms.

[tex] \large{20x + 66 = - 14}[/tex]

Get rid of 66 from the left side by subtracting both sides by itself.

[tex] \large{20x + 66 - 66 = - 14 - 66} \\ \large{20x = - 80}[/tex]

To finally isolate the variable, divide both sides by 20 so we can leave x only on the left side.

[tex] \large{ \frac{20x}{20} = \frac{ - 80}{20} }[/tex]

Simplify to the simplest form.

[tex] \large{x = - 4}[/tex]

Normally, we have to find the y-value too but since we only find x-value. The answer is x = -4.

Answer:

Daniel traveled further by 2.73 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total distance traveled simply multiply average speed times time

For Wendy

She traveled for 3.9 hours at a speed of 68.3 mph

So total distance traveled = 3.9 * 68.3 = 266.37 miles

For Daniel

He traveled for 4.5 hours at a speed of 59.8 mph

So total distance traveled = 4.5 * 59.8 = 269.1 miles

As you can see Wendy traveled 266.37 miles and Daniel traveled 269.1 miles

Daniel traveled further

To find how much further we simply subtract distance Daniel traveled (269.1) from distance Wendy traveled (266.37)

269.1 - 266.37 = 2.73

So Daniel traveled further by 2.73 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Where a transversal crosses parallel lines, all of the obtuse angles are congruent, and all of the acute angles are congruent. The obtuse and acute angles are supplementary.

Angle 1 is an obtuse angle; angle 3 is an acute angle.

  angle 3 = 180° - angle 1 = 180° -117° = 63°

The measure of angle 3 is 63°.

_____

Additional comment

There are a number of applicable theorems describing the different angle relationships. Taken together, they are summarized by the first statement above. For example, we could declare angles 1 and 4 to be "corresponding" (hence, congruent), and angles 4 and 3 to be a "linear pair", hence supplementary. The net result is that angle 1 is supplementary to angle 3, as we said above.

We could also get there via relations between alternate exterior angles, alternate interior angles, consecutive exterior or interior angles, and other ways. While that terminology is useful to understand in some problems, it is largely irrelevant here.

In 2005, 1,475,623 students heading to college took the SAT. The distribution of scores in the math section of the SAT follows a normal distribution with mean
µ = 520 and population standard deviation = 115.

What math SAT score is 1.5 standard deviations above the mean? Round answer to a whole number.

Answers

Answer:

A math SAT score of 693 is 1.5 standard deviations above the mean

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean µ = 520 and population standard deviation = 115.

This means that [tex]\mu = 520, \sigma = 115[/tex]

What math SAT score is 1.5 standard deviations above the mean?

This is X when [tex]Z = 1.5[/tex]. So

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]1.5 = \frac{X - 520}{115}[/tex]

[tex]X - 520 = 1.5*115[/tex]

[tex]X = 693[/tex]

A math SAT score of 693 is 1.5 standard deviations above the mean

Sam Store orders 200 pens that list for $0.5 each, 150 pads that list for $0.7 each, and 100

pencils that list for $0.2 each. The single trade discount rate for the order is 15%. Find the net

price of the order and the amount of discount.​

Answers

Answer:

Net price = $191.25

Discount Price = $33.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of one pen = $0.50

Cost of 200 pen = 200 × 0.50 = $100

Cost of one pad =$0.70

Cost of 150 pads = 150 × 0.70 = $105

Cost of one pencil = $0.20

Cost of 100 pencils = $20

Total cost of the order = 100 + 105 + 20 = $225

Discount % = 15% of 225

Discount price = ( 15% × 225) = $33.75

Total amount after discount = 225 - 33.75 = $191.25

9514 1404 393

Answer:

 ∛188 ≈ 5.72865

Step-by-step explanation:

Any scientific or graphing calculator or spreadsheet can tell you the cube root of 188.

  ∛188 ≈ 5.72865431598...

__

You know that 5³ = 125 and 6³ = 216, so the root will lie between 5 and 6, closer to 6. As a first approximation, you can figure it is about ...

  x = ∛188 ≈ 5 + (188-5³)/(6³ -5³) = 5 + 63/89 ≈ 5.71

You can figure this much using a 4-function calculator.

A closer approximation (x') can be had using the iteration formula ...

  x' = (2x³ +188)/(3x²)

For x = 5.71, the value of x' is ...

  x' ≈ (2×5.71³ +188)/(3×5.71²) ≈ 560.3388/97.8123 ≈ 5.7287

This value is correct when the root is rounded to 4 decimal places. Another execution of the iteration formula using this value will give the root accurate to 9 decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

y = -2x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Points on the x-axis (x1, x2) = (2, -1)

Points on the y-axis (y1, y2) = (-2, 4)

To find the equation of line in slope intercept form;

First of all, we would determine the slope of the line.

Mathematically, slope is given by the formula;

[tex] Slope = \frac{Change \; in \; y \; axis}{Change \; in \; x \; axis} [/tex]

[tex] Slope, m = \frac {y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}} [/tex]

Substituting into the equation, we have;

[tex] Slope, m = \frac {4 - (-2)}{-1 -2} [/tex]

[tex] Slope, m = \frac {4 + 2}{-1 -2} [/tex]

[tex] Slope, m = \frac {6}{-3} [/tex]

Slope, m = -2

Next, we would use the following formula to find the equation of the line;

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Substituting into the formula, we have;

y - (-2) = -2(x - 2)

y + 2 = -2x + 4

y = -2x + 4 - 2

y = -2x + 2 = mx + c

We ought to reverence books, to look at them as useful and mighty things." Milton calls a good book "the precious life blood of a master spirit, embalmed and treasured up on purpose to a life beyond life." Cicero likens a room without books to a body without a soul. Ruskin says, "Bread of flour is good; but there is bread, sweet as honey, if we would eat it, in a good book." And Thomas Carlyle exclaims: "Wondrous, indeed, is the virtue of a true book! O thou who art able to write a book, which once in two centuries or oftener there is a man gifted to do, envy not him whom they name city-builder, and inexpressibly pity him whom they name conqueror or city-burner!"2 For centuries the traditions, stories, and songs of men were handed down orally from father to son and were preserved only in the memory. The poems of Homer, the great Greek bard, were recited by readers to large audiences, some of them numbering probably twenty thousand. By and by men felt the need of perpetuating their thoughts in some more permanent way than by memory, and there grew up a rude system of writing.3 The early Greeks and Romans used for their books tablets of ivory or metal or, more commonly, tablets of wood taken from the beech or fir tree which was then followed by a material called parchment. This was made from the skins of animals, particularly sheep or lambs. About the end of the ninth century or the beginning of the tenth, after Christ, parchment and vellum as material for books gave way to paper. Initially paper produced, was made of cotton, but during the twelfth century it was produced from linen. It is not known who invented linen paper, but its introduction was the first great catalyst to book making. About the beginning of the fifteenth century after Christ, there came over the world an enormous wave of intellectual awakening.4 The human intellect began to awake, to stretch itself, to go forth and conquer, which hence brought about the invention of printing. Before this time, ever since man began to record his thoughts, whether on plank, stone, or papyrus, on bark of tree, skin of animal, or tablet of wax or paper, every letter was made by hand. The process was necessarily slow, books were rare and costly, and only the few could have them. But with the advent of a process that would multiply books andmake them cheap, learning wasmade accessibleto the legion. Before theinventionof printing with movable, metal types, a kind of block printing was used. The words or letters were carved on a block of wood; the block was applied to paper, silk, cloth, or vellum, and thusimpressionswere made. Can someone help me with this. Will mark brainliest.
