An underground aquifer near Seiling, Oklahoma, sits on an impermeable layer of limestone. West of Seiling the limestone layer is thought to slope downward in a straight line. In order to map the limestone layer, hydrologists started at Seiling heading west and drilled sample wells. Two miles west of Seiling the limestone layer was found at a depth of 220 feet. Three miles west of Seiling the limestone layer was found at a depth of 270 feet
(a) What would you expect to be the depth of the limestone layer 5 miles west of Seiling
(b) You want to drill a well down to the limestone layer as far west from Seiling as you can. Your budget will allow you to drill a well that is 275 feet deep. How far west of Seiling can you go to drill the well? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(A) 490ft.

(B) 2.8 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Important points to note:

- The limestone layer is thought or assumed to slope downward in a straight line.

- 2 miles west of Seiling, the limestone layer was found at a depth of 220ft.

- 3 miles west of Seiling, the limestone layer was found at a depth of 270ft.

(A) What would you expect to be the depth of the limestone layer, 5 miles west of Seiling?

The expected depth of the limestone layer is:

2 miles + 3 miles = 5 miles

220ft + 270ft = 490ft

(B) Your budget will allow you drill a well that is 275ft deep. How far west of Seiling (in miles) can you go, to drill the well?

If 490ft  ~  5 miles

then 275ft  ~  K miles

K = [275 x 5] / 490  = 2.80612245 miles

Rounding to 1 decimal place, the distance is 2.8 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given values are:

On Lisa's 62nd birthday,

she withdraw = $10,000

The annuity of $A will remain at 3 percent for 40 years. The retirement pension of $10000 lasts 23 years at rate percentage of 3 but begins 40 years later.

Shani has 2 chocolate bas. One has 60% cacao and the other 92% calco
What mass of each bar must she mix to obtain 400g of chocolate
with 72% cacao

Answers

Answer:

250 grams of the 60% cocoa bar and 150 grams of the 92% cocoa bar should be used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Shani has 2 chocolate bars, one that had 60% cocoa and the other that had 92% cocoa, to determine what mass of each bar must she mix to obtain 400g of chocolate with 72% cocoa, the following calculation must be performed:

100 x 0.6 + 0 x 0.92 = 60

90 x 0.6 + 10 x 0.92 = 63.2

80 x 0.6 + 20 x 0.92 = 66.4

70 x 0.6 + 30 x 0.92 = 69.6

65 x 0.6 + 35 x 0.92 = 71.2

63 x 0.6 + 37 x 0.92 = 71.84

62.5 x 0.6 + 37.5 x 0.92 = 72

400 x 0.625 = 250

Thus, 250 grams of the 60% cocoa bar and 150 grams of the 92% cocoa bar should be used.

An elementary school class ran 1 mile in an average of 11 minutes with a standard deviation of 3 minutes. Rachel, a student in the class, ran 1 mile in 8 minutes. A junior high school class ran 1 mile in an average of 9 minutes, with a standard deviation of 2 minutes. Kenji, a student in the class, ran 1 mile in 8.5 minutes. A high school class ran 1 mile in an average of 7 minutes with a standard deviation of 4 minutes. Nedda, a student in the class, ran 1 mile in 8 minutes.

Required:
a. Why is Kenji considered a better runner than Nedda, even though Nedda ran faster than he?
b. Who is the fastest runner with respect to his or her class? Explain why.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

Kenji ran faster than the class average by 0.25 of a standard deviation while Nedda was slower than the average in her class.

b.

Rachel: average - 1st deviation

Kenji: average - 0.25 standard deviation

Nedda: slower than average so it's definitely not her.

Since Rachel is faster than the average and differs by the most standard deviations compared with Kenji,

So, Rachel is the faster one.

Total cost to customer: $490

Cost for parts: $285

$490-$285 = $205

There is a total labor charge of $205.

The problem tells us that the customer paid for 2.5 hours of labor.

$205/2.5 hours = $82.00 per hour.

Answers

Answer:

HM > CH

Step-by-step explanation:

You are correct, I didn't see the option HM > CH, which is correct, since the angle 90 degrees is larger than the angle 73, and then the sides opposite to them must follow suit.

Therefore, the correct answer is: HM > CH

The true statement from the triangles is (b) HM > CH

How to determine which must be true

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

The figures

Next, we have

Angles at corresponding points = 90 degrees and 73 degrees

Since the angle 90 degrees is larger than the angle 73 degrees, and then the sides opposite to them must also have the same relationship

To test the effectiveness of a drug proposed to relieve symptoms of depression, psychiatrists recruited volunteers for clinical tests. All of the volunteers were diagnosed with symptoms of depression. The psychiatrists provided the drug to first group and a sugar pill to the second group. In the description of the above situation, determine the control group.

Answers

Answer:

The control group is the group that takes the sugar pill

Step-by-step explanation:

In drug testing, to determine the efficacy of a drug, different groups of experimental subjects are recruited, one group is given the drug to be tested (treatment group) while another group is given a placebo.

A placebo is a fake version of the drug to be tested that does not have any therapeutic effect on the test subjects that receive it. In this case, the control group receives the placebo which is the sugar pill. They serve as the baseline of measurement when the outcome of the effect of the drug testing is done. The groups that received the actual drugs are compared against the groups that received the hoax treatment, and any change occuring  in the test subjects become the changes occuring as a result of the test drug used, when the observations on the control group has been ruled out.
