Two lines intersect and two of the vertical angles measure 37°. What is the measure of the other two vertical angles?

Answers

Answer:

286 degrees and 143 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

When line intersect the two vertical angle adds up to 180 degrees

To find the other vertical angle:

180 -37=143 degrees

So for two vertical angles

we take (180*2)-(37*2)=286 degrees

There are 11 apples in a basket. 9 of these apples are green. The rest of them are red. What is the ratio of red apples to all apples in the basket? What is the ratio of red apples to green apples?

Answers

Answer:

Red apples to all apples =2/11

Red apples to green apples =2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 11 total apples 9 of them are green and the rest are red so there are 11-9=2 red apples

The ratio of red apples to all apples = number of red apples ÷ total apples number = 2÷11

The ratio of red apples to green apples = number of red apples ÷ number of green apples = 2÷9

Answer:

Red apples to all apples =2/11

Red apples to green apples =2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 11 total apples 9 of them are green and the rest are red so there are 11-9=2 red apples

The ratio of red apples to all apples = number of red apples ÷ total apples number = 2÷11

The ratio of red apples to green apples = number of red apples ÷ number of green apples = 2÷9

(d) The above information represents a quantitative variable.

(e) The possible explanation for the large difference in age between the two samples would be that during weekdays most of the teenagers or children below 20 years of age are not able to come to parks because of their schools, coachings or some studies related work.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a research firm regularly conducts customer satisfaction surveys for an amusement park. A survey of 100 randomly selected park visitors on a weekday in May concluded the average age of visitors to the park was 37 years.

When the survey was repeated with 100 randomly selected park visitors on a Saturday in May the average age of visitors to the park was determined to be 17 years.

(a) The population of interest in this situation is the average age of visitors to the park in MAY during weekdays or weekends.

(b) Two samples are described in the above situation, that is;

A survey of 100 randomly selected park visitors on a weekday in May.A survey of 100 randomly selected park visitors on a Saturday in May.

(c) The average age of 37 years is a statistic as it is the sample average age of visitors to the park on a weekday, i.e. [tex]\bar X_1[/tex] = 37 years.

(d) The above information represents a quantitative variable because in this we are concerned about the average age of visitors in the park which is a numeric value and we are not interested in any qualitative aspect.

(e) The possible explanation for the large difference in age between the two samples would be that during weekdays most of the teenagers or children below 20 years of age are not able to come to parks because of their schools, coachings or some studies related work.

But during weekends like Saturday, the schools or coaching institutions are generally closed due to which they are able to come to parks to play and because of this there are large number of children below 20 years of age who visit parks on weekends.

Answers

Answer:

Quadrilateral ABCD is a Quadrilateral with four equal sides so either a rhombus or square

But

Quadrilateral ABC'D is a quadrilateral with two adjacent sides equal so it's a kite shape

Step-by-step explanation:

(11, -7), B(9, -4), C(11, -1), and D(13, -4).

Let's take out the values of x and y coordinate with the way they are arranged

X = 11,9,11,13

Y = -7,-4,-1,-4

So we observe that distance of the coordinates on either x is 2 units and y is 3 units.

But when the the value was changed to

C′(11, 1), (11, -7), B(9, -4), C′(11, 1), and D(13, -4).

There was difference of 2 unit and 4 unit making the new shape a kite.

Robin read somewhere that adding salt to water while heating it will raise the temperature of

the water causing it to boil faster. To test this claim, she filled 30 identical pots with one quart

of water. She randomly selected 15 of the pots and added 1 teaspoon of salt. She then placed

each pot on identical burners set to the highest setting. She measured the water temperature

In each pot after 5 minutes.

Is Robin's research method an example of an observational study experiment, or

simulation?

b

If Robin does find that there is a difference between the water temperatures in the pots

with salt compared to those without can she conclude that the salt caused the

difference in temperature?

Answers

Answer:

a. An experiment

b. No

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Robin's research method can be concluded to be an experiment because she has a testable group (pots of water with salt) and a control group (pots of water without salt).

2. Based on this alone, she cannot conclude that the salt caused the

difference in temperature because she has not set some appropriate conditions which are to be met for this test.

The batting order for seven players on a 8 person team.

a)Permutations: 120.960

b)Combinations: 20,160

c)Permutations: 40320

d)Combinations: 8

Answers

Answer:

c) Permutations: 40320

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that permutations are groupings in which the order of the objects matters. Combinations are groupings where content matters but order does not.

In this case, then the batting order, therefore the order does matter, therefore, it would be a permutation, where n = 8 and r = 7

nPr = n! / (n-r)!

Replacing:

8P7 = 8! / (8-7)! = 40320

Which means that the answer is c) Permutations: 40320

The function f(x) = −x2 + 16x − 60 models the daily profit, in dollars, a shop makes for selling candles, where x is the number of candles sold. Determine the vertex, and explain what it means in the context of the problem. (6, 10); The vertex represents the maximum profit. (6, 10); The vertex represents the minimum profit. (8, 4); The vertex represents the minimum profit. (8, 4); The vertex represents the maximum profit.

Answers

Answer:

A.

f is a quadratic function, which means it's graph is a parabola.

Notice that the coefficient of is negative, so the parabola opens downwards.

the x-coordinate of a parabola is always determined by the formula: 

where a is coefficient of the  term, and b is the coefficient of the x term.

Thus, x-coordinate of the vertex of the graph of f is :

the y-coordinate of the vertex is f(8)=-8*8+16*8-60=4.

The vertex is (8, 4).

This means that the maximum daily profit is when exactly 8 candles are sold.

B.

The x-intercepts are the values of x such that f(x)=0,

so to find these values we solve:

complete the square:

so x-8=2      or x-8=-2

the roots are x=10 and  x=6, are the roots.

This means that when the shop sells exactly 6 or 10 candles, it makes no profit.

Answer: d (8, 4); The vertex represents the maximum profit.

Which equation has two real solutions?

A. x2 = –100
B. 5x2 = 1
C. 6x2 + 17 = 11
D. 7(x2 + 6) = 42

Answers

Answer:

B. 5x² = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

A. x² = –100

This equation has no solution because x² is always positive.

B. 5x² = 1

then x² = 1/5

then x = 1/(√5) or x = -1/(√5)

C. 6x² + 17 = 11

then 6x² = 11 - 17 = -6

then x² = -6/6 = -1  

This equation has no solution because x² is always positive.

D. 7(x + 6) = 42

then x + 6 = 42/7 = 6

then x = 6 - 6 = 0

How do you solve this problem? population proportion is to be estimated from a sample of 400 with a sample proportion of 0.1. Approximate the​ 95% confidence interval of the population proportion

Answers

Answer:

(0.0706, 0.1294)

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval of a proportion is:

CI = p ± CV × SE

where p is the proportion,

CV is the critical value (z score or t score),

and SE is the standard error.

The sample is large enough to estimate as normal.  For 95% confidence level, CV = z = 1.96.

Standard error for a proportion is:

SE = √(pq/n)

SE = √(0.1 × 0.9 / 400)

SE = 0.015

The confidence interval is:

CI = 0.1 ± (1.96)(0.015)

CI = (0.0706, 0.1294)

Do consumers spend more on a trip to Target or​ Walmart? Suppose researchers interested in this question collected a systematic sample for 84 Target customers and 80 Walmart customers by asking customers for their purchase amount as they left the store. Using the given summary​ statistics, researchers calculated a​ 95% confidence interval for the mean difference between Target and Walmart purchase amounts. The interval was ​($negative 15.05​,$negative 2.95​). Explain in context what this interval means.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval for the difference between two population means is written in the form,

difference in sample means ± margin of error

The difference in sample means is the point estimate for the difference in population means. In the given scenario, the point estimate is the difference in mean amount spent by the sampled customers on a trip to Target or​ Walmart.

Since the interval was (- $15.05​,$2.95), it means that the lower limit is - $15.05 and the upper limit us $2.95.

Therefore, the 95% confidence interval is providing a range that we are 95% confident that the true difference in mean amount spent by Target customers and Walmart customers falls between - $15.05​ and $2.95
