Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Part I: Use scientific notation to estimate the number of hours in one year

Using the conversion factors

Estimate using scientific notation

31,556,952 seconds = 3.2 *  10^7

3600 seconds = 3.6 * 10 ^2

1 year = 3.2 *  10^7 seconds * 1 hour/ 3.6 * 10 ^2 seconds

3.2 /3.6 =.88888 (repeating)    

10^7 / 10^2 = 10^5

8.88888 * 10 ^5

8.888 * 10 ^4 hours

Part II: Use scientific notation to calculate the exact number of hours in one year.

 31,556,952 seconds = 3.1556952 *  10^7

3600 seconds = 3.6 * 10 ^2

1 year = 3.1556952 *  10^7 seconds * 1 hour/ 3.6 * 10 ^2 seconds

3.1556952 /3.6 =.876582    

10^7 / 10^2 = 10^5

.876582 * 10 ^5      

8.76582*10^4 hours

Part III: In two or more complete sentences, compare your answers to parts I and II. In your comparison, discuss similarities and differences in your answers.

Part II is an exact answer, where Part I is an estimate.  Both Parts give values in the thousands of hours,  and are both  between 8700 and 8900 hours.  Part I can be done without a calculator where Part II is much harder to do without a calculator.

Answer 2

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Part I: Use scientific notation to estimate the number of hours in one year

Using the conversion factors

Estimate using scientific notation

31,556,952 seconds = 3.2 *  10^7

3600 seconds = 3.6 * 10 ^2

1 year = 3.2 *  10^7 seconds * 1 hour/ 3.6 * 10 ^2 seconds

3.2 /3.6 =.88888 (repeating)    

10^7 / 10^2 = 10^5

8.88888 * 10 ^5

8.888 * 10 ^4 hours

Part II: Use scientific notation to calculate the exact number of hours in one year.

31,556,952 seconds = 3.1556952 *  10^7

3600 seconds = 3.6 * 10 ^2

1 year = 3.1556952 *  10^7 seconds * 1 hour/ 3.6 * 10 ^2 seconds

3.1556952 /3.6 =.876582    

10^7 / 10^2 = 10^5

.876582 * 10 ^5      

8.76582*10^4 hours

Part III: In two or more complete sentences, compare your answers to parts I and II. In your comparison, discuss similarities and differences in your answers.

Part II is an exact answer, where Part I is an estimate.  Both Parts give values in the thousands of hours,  and are both  between 8700 and 8900 hours.  Part I can be done without a calculator where Part II is much harder to do without a calculator.

Answers

Answer:

a. [tex]Mean = 8.25[/tex]

b. [tex]SD = 3.7125[/tex]

c. [tex]SD = 3.15[/tex]

d. [tex]SD = 2.4[/tex]

e. As p approaches 1 , the standard deviation increases (that is, it approaches 0).

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving (a):

[tex]p = 55\%[/tex]

[tex]n = 15[/tex]

Find Mean

Mean is calculated as thus:

[tex]Mean = n * p[/tex]

[tex]Mean = 15 * 55\%[/tex]

Convert percentage to decimal

[tex]Mean = 15 * 0.55[/tex]

[tex]Mean = 8.25[/tex]

Solving (b):

Calculate Standard Deviation (SD)

Standard deviation is calculated as thus:

[tex]SD = n * p * (1 - p)[/tex]

[tex]SD = 15 * 55\% * (1 - 55\%)[/tex]

Convert percentage to decimal

[tex]SD = 15 * 0.55 * (1 - 0.55)[/tex]

[tex]SD = 15 * 0.55 * 0.45[/tex]

[tex]SD = 3.7125[/tex]

Solving (c):

Calculate Standard Deviation if p = 0.7

Using same formula used in (b) above

[tex]SD = n * p * (1 - p)[/tex]

[tex]SD = 15 * 0.7 * (1 - 0.7)[/tex]

[tex]SD = 15 * 0.7 * 0.3[/tex]

[tex]SD = 3.15[/tex]

Solving (d):

Calculate Standard Deviation if p = 0.8

Using same formula used in (b) & (c) above

[tex]SD = n * p * (1 - p)[/tex]

[tex]SD = 15 * 0.8 * (1 - 0.8)[/tex]

[tex]SD = 15 * 0.8 * 0.2[/tex]

[tex]SD = 2.4[/tex]

Solving (e):

What does the working show

In (b)

When p = 0.5

SD = 3.7125

In (c)

When p = 0.7

SD = 3.15

In (d)

When p = 0.8

SD = 2.4

Notice that as the value of p increases, the standard deviation gets closer to 0.

Answers

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the slope

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = ( 5-3)/(-1-7)

   = 2/-8

   = -1/4

Point slope form is

y-y1 = m(x-x1)  where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is a point on the line

y -3 = -1/4( x-7)

or using the other point

y -5 = -1/4( x--1)

y -5 = -1/4( x+1)

Elena went to the store where you can scoop your own popcorn and buy as much as you want.she brought 10 ounces of spicy popcorn for $2.50.How much popcorn can you buy per dollar?

Answers

Answer:

A. 4 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Elana paid $2.50 for 10 ounces of popcorn, let x be the amount popcorn a dollar will buy.

Thus we have:

$2.50 = 10 ounces

$1 = x

Cross multiply

$2.50 × x = 10 ounces × $1

Divide both sides by $2.50

($2.50 × x)/$2.50 = (10 ounces × $1)/$2.50

x = (10 ounces)/2.50

x = 4 ounces

Therefore, you can buy 4 ounces of popcorn per dollar

jamie has taken three math tests. her scores were 85, 90, and 89. to get an average of 90 what must be the sum of all her tests ? what score does she need on the fourth test so that her mean score is 90 ?

Answers

Answer:

96 marks

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the mean of a given amount of values is the sum of the values divided by the number of values

Let the marks in the fourth test = x marks

Mean of the values = 90

(85 + 90 + 89 + x) / 4 = 90

264 + x = 360

x = 96

Therefore, Jamie needs 96 marks in her 4th test to get a mean score of 90

The ratio of the length of a rectangle to its width is 4 1/2 : 2 1/4. What is the unit rate of the length per width of the rectangle?

Answers

Answer:  

The ratio simplifies fully to 2:1

=======================================================

Work Shown:

4 & 1/2 = 4 + 1/2 = 4 + 0.5 = 4.5

2 & 1/4 = 2 + 1/4 = 2 + 0.25 = 2.25

The original ratio is the same as 4.5 : 2.25

Divide both parts by 2.25 and you'll end up with 2:1

4.5/2.25 = 2

2.25/2.25 = 1

This means the length is twice as long compared to the width.
