Step-by-step explanation:

Consecutive numbers are directly next to each other on the number line, so B is already out of the question. Add each pair together to see which one is 131.

Answer:

C. 65 and 66

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be first number

Then x + 1 be next number

x + (x + 1) = 131

2x + 1 = 131

2x = 130

x = 65

x + 1 = 66

You are studying the color patterns of a species of iris that can be yellow, purple, or red. If you are performing a chi-squared test to compare the number of each you find in a field to the number you would expect to find based on the pollinators in the area, how many degrees of freedom would you have in your analysis

Answers

Answer:

Number of  degrees of freedom = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The degree of freedom in such type of chi-Square test depend on the number of phenotypes of the a particular species produced in a given cross.

Here the total phenotype number is three i.e yellow, purple, or red

Hence, the number of  degrees of freedom = total number of phenotype - 1

Number of  degrees of freedom = total number of phenotype - 1

Number of  degrees of freedom =  3-1

Number of  degrees of freedom = 2

Camden is creating a model of a pyramid. The model created will need to be scaled up from the blueprint.

If segments DE and AB are parallel, which of the following expressions will help Camden determine the length of DC?
DC equals EC times AC all over BC
DC = EC
DC equals EC times AC all over AB
DC = AB

Answers

Answer:

A) DC equals EC times AC all over BC.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

[tex]DE\parallel AB[/tex]

Then by corresponding angles:

[tex]\angle CAB\cong \angle CDE\text{ and } \angle CBA\cong \angle CED[/tex]

So, by AA-Similarity:

[tex]\Delta CDE\sim \Delta CAB[/tex]

Corresponding sides of similar triangles are in proportion. Hence:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{DC}{AC}=\frac{EC}{BC}[/tex]

By multiplying both sides by AC:

[tex]\displaystyle DC=\frac{EC\cdot AC}{BC}[/tex]

DC is equal to EC times AC over BC.

Hence, our answer is A.

Answer:

 DC equals EC times AC all over BC

Will Mark Brainlest help step by step. (The ratio of two men present age is 3:4 and this will be 7:9 after 4 years what are their present age)​

Answers

Answer:

24 and 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Let their present ages be x and y

Therefore, x

[tex] \frac{x}{y} = \frac{3}{4} [/tex]

we have 4x = 3y

4x - 3y = 0......................(I)

After four years,

[tex] \frac{x + 4}{y + 4} = \frac{7}{9} [/tex]

we have, 9(x + 4) = 7(y + 4)

9x + 36 = 7y + 28

9x - 7y = -8 ........................(ii)

Solving (I) and (ii) simultaneously

4x - 3y = 0

9x - 7y = -8

multiply eqn I by 9 and equation (ii) by 4 and subtract result

36x - 27y = 0...............(iii)

36x - 28y = -32...........(iv)

subtracting (iv) from (iii) we have,

y = 32

substituting y back in equation (I)

4x - 3y = 0

4x -3(32) = 0

4x - 96 = 0

4x = 96

x = 24

Their ages are 24 and 32

2. It is given to us that these two triangles share two of the same side lengths. We can also see that they share a side together. 2 sides gives us SSS.

3. It is given to us that these two triangles share 1 of the same angles and 1 of the same side lengths. We can also see that they share a vertical angle, which by definition means they have the same measurement. 2 angles and a side gives us ASA.

A researcher conducted a paired sample t-test to determine if advertisements were viewed more in the morning (before noon) or in the evening (after 5pm) for eight different universities. The results were as follows:

Variance 89.71428571 504.5536
Observations 8 8

df 7
t Stat -1.152587077
P(T<=t) one-tail 0.143458126
t Critical one-tail 1.894578605
P(T<=t) two-tail 0.286916252
t Critical two-tail 2.364624252
Is there a significant difference between morning and evening access to the university advertisements?
a. Yes, there was a significant difference between Morning (M= 32), and Evening (M=40.625), (t [7] = .28, p < .05).
b. No, there was no difference between Morning (M= 32), and Evening (M=40.625), (t [7] = 1.15, p > .05).
c. Yes, there was a significant difference between Morning (M= 32), and Evening (M=40.625), (t [7] = 1.15 p < .05).
d. No, there was no difference between Morning (M= 32), and Evening (M=40.625), (t [7] = 1.15, p < .05).

Answers

Answer:

b. No, there was no difference between Morning (M= 32), and Evening (M=40.625), (t [7] = 1.15, p > .05).

Step-by-step explanation:

The critical value for one tailed test is t ∝(7) > 1.895

A one tailed test is performed to test the claim that advertisements were viewed more in the morning (before noon) or in the evening (after 5pm)

The null and alternative hypotheses are

H0: μm = μe   vs     Ha μm > μe

where μm is the mean of the morning and μe is the mean of evening.

The calculated value of t = -1.152587077  which is less than the critical region hence the null hypothesis cannot be rejected .

P(T<=t) one-tail 0.143458126 > 0.05

If two tailed test is performed the critical region is t Critical two-tail 2.364624252

and the calculated t value is  -1.152587077  which again does not lie in the critical region .

Hence μm =  μe or    μm ≤ μe

P(T<=t) two-tail 0.286916252  > 0.025

Therefore

b. No, there was no difference between Morning (M= 32), and Evening (M=40.625), (t [7] = 1.15, p > .05).

Option b gives the best answer.

Module 07: Project Option 1
Instructions
First, you need to come up with an activity. If you are having trouble thinking of what to do, here are some ideas:
• How many jumping jacks can you do in a minute?
• How many times can you write your full address in a minute?
• How many points can you score in a game in three minutes?
• How many pages of a book can you read in four minutes?
• How far can you walk in five minutes?
Feel free to be creative or even to come up with an activity you think your teacher has not seen before.

Now that you have decided what your activity is going to be, it’s time to get started.

Part 1: Record Information
Spend a short amount of time (one to five minutes) doing your activity. Answer the following questions:
1. What was the activity?
2. How long did you spend doing your activity?
3. How much of the activity did you complete in the time period? (Example: I did 24 sit-ups in one minute.)
4. Which of these variables is your dependent variable?
5. Which one is the independent variable?
6. Write a sentence that describes the relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variable. (Hint: Ratio language can help.)

(Questions 1 to 3 are worth 1 point each; questions 4 to 6 are worth 2 points each.)
Part 2: Prepare a Table
Assuming that you could complete the activity at the same rate over different time periods, how much of the activity could you complete in two minutes, three minutes, four minutes, and five minutes? (Note: If you spent two minutes doing your activity, then you should edit the table below and use multiples of 2 up to 10).

You may use the table below for your variables.

Time (minutes)
0 0
1
2
3
4
5

Part 3: Prepare a Graph
Create a graph to show your relationship. Make sure you include all the parts for a graph and show the data clearly. Include a title for the graph and label the x- and y-axes.

Part 4: Write an Equation
Based on your recorded values, write an equation that represents the relationship between the time you spent doing the activity and the amount of the activity you completed. Make sure to define your variables.

Follow-up questions

7. If you were able to maintain this rate of your activity for 12 minutes, how much of the activity would you be able to complete?
8. How long would it take you to reach 100 for the number of times you did your activity?
9. Which representation do you believe is the best way to share this information with someone else? This is your opinion. No answer is right or wrong.

Answers

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Feel free to be creative or even to come up with an activity you think your teacher has not seen before.

Liked that. So let's be creative.

Part 1: Record Information

Spend a short amount of time (one to five minutes) doing your activity. Answer the following questions:

1. What was the activity?

I am from Japan and practice Kendo (feel free to search about it). Suppose you are doing suburi. You did 100 joge suburi.

2. How long did you spend doing your activity?

Suppose it took you 5 minutes.

3. How much of the activity did you complete in the time period? (Example: I did 24 sit-ups in one minute.)

You did 100 joge suburi in 5 minutes. It means [tex]\dfrac{100}{5} = 20 \text{ per minute}[/tex]

4. Which of these variables is your dependent variable?

If you want to calculate how much suburi you did in an amount of time [tex]x[/tex], given the time in minutes, we can write the function

[tex]y = f(x)=20x[/tex]

Therefore, the dependent variable is the number of suburis. More precisely it is given by [tex]y[/tex]. On the other hand, the independent variable is [tex]x[/tex], the time.

Considering the example: I did 24 sit-ups in one minute.

sit-ups is the dependent variable and the number of minutes represents the independent variable.

Note: The number of sit-ups will depend on the time. 24 is the coefficient. In this case, the function would be

[tex]g(x) = 24x[/tex]

5. Which one is the independent variable?

The time in minutes.

6. Write a sentence that describes the relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variable. (Hint: Ratio language can help.)

You can write: The ratio of suburi done is 100:5 or 20:1 because for every 1 minute passed you did 20 suburis.  

Part 2: Prepare a Table

Assuming that you could complete the activity at the same rate over different time periods, how much of the activity could you complete in two minutes, three minutes, four minutes, and five minutes? (Note: If you spent two minutes doing your activity, then you should edit the table below and use multiples of 2 up to 10).

You may use the table below for your variables.

Time (minutes)          Quantity of suburi

0                                         0

1                                          20

2                                         40

3                                         60

4                                          80

5                                         100

Part 3: Prepare a Graph

Create a graph to show your relationship. Make sure you include all the parts for a graph and show the data clearly. Include a title for the graph and label the x- and y-axes.

This part I will let it to your. But is is just a linear graph.

Part 4: Write an Equation

Based on your recorded values, write an equation that represents the relationship between the time you spent doing the activity and the amount of the activity you completed. Make sure to define your variables.

[tex]y = f(x)=20x, \forall x \in\mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}[/tex]

[tex]y: \text{number of suburis}[/tex]

[tex]x: \text{time}[/tex]

7. If you were able to maintain this rate of your activity for 12 minutes, how much of the activity would you be able to complete?

For [tex]x=12[/tex]: [tex]y = f(12)=20\cdot 12 = 240[/tex]

240 suburis

8. How long would it take you to reach 100 for the number of times you did your activity?

5 minutes.

9. Which representation do you believe is the best way to share this information with someone else? This is your opinion. No answer is right or wrong.

The function is the best because it describes all the variables easily.

If the surface area of the box in the diagram is 204.25 square feet, what is the value of ‘x’?

the length is 10ft
the height is 6.5ft
what would x
A. 3 ft
B. 2.25 ft
C. 4.5 ft
D. 5 ft

Answers

Note: Consider x be the breadth of the box.

Given:

The surface area of the box is 204.25 square feet.

Length of the box = 10 ft

Breadth of the box = x ft

Height of the box = 6.5 ft

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

The surface area of a cuboid is:

[tex]SA=2(lb+bh+hl)[/tex]

Where, l is length, b is breadth and h is height of the cuboid.

Putting [tex]SA=204.25,  l=10,\ b=x,\ h=6.5[/tex] in the above formula, we get

[tex]204.25=2(10\times x+x\times 6.5+6.5\times 10)[/tex]

[tex]204.25=2(10x+6.5x+65)[/tex]

[tex]204.25=2(16.5x+65)[/tex]

Using distributive property, we get

[tex]204.25=2(16.5x)+2(65)[/tex]

[tex]204.25=33x+130[/tex]

[tex]204.25-130=33x[/tex]

[tex]74.25=33x[/tex]

Divide both sides by 33.

[tex]\dfrac{74.25}{33}=x[/tex]

[tex]2.25=x[/tex]

Therefore, the correct option is B.

Two trains leave the station at the same time, one heading east and the other west. The eastbound train travels at 70 mph. The westbound train travels at 90 mph. How long will it take for the two trains to be 192 miles apart.

Answers

Answer:

1.2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall :

Distance = speed * time

Let the time taken = x

Creating an equation for the question :

Distance of train A + Distance of train B = 192

70 * x + 90 * x = 192

70x + 90x = 192

160x = 192

x = 192 / 160

x = 1.2

It takes 1.2 hours to be 192 miles apart.

How many and what type of solutions does 7x^2−4x+3 have? 1 rational solution 2 rational solutions 2 irrational solutions 2 nonreal solutions

The discriminat is b²-4ac

If the discriminant is,

→ equal to 0, then 1 real solutions

→ more than 0, then 2 real solutions

Given that,

7x²−4x+3=0

a=7, b=-4, and c=3

→ (-4)²-4(7)(3)

→ 16-84

→ -68

You can see this is less than 0, then non real solutions. [2 nonreal solutions]
