1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4

The leaf values (ones digits) are:

5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8, 8, 9, 9, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 7, 9, 9, 9, 2, 2, 4, 8, 2

The data is unimodal because there is one clear peak in the distribution. The data is skewed to the right because the long tail of the distribution extends to the right, with a few large values pulling the mean to the right.

Therefore, the best description of the shape of this distribution is skewed to the right.

The number of gallons of gas Brynen will use in driving to and from work, during the week, obtained using arithmetic operations is 7 5/7 gallons

Arithmetic operations are operations involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Answer:

∠ I = 60°

Step-by-step explanation:

using the tangent ratio in the right triangle

tan I = [tex]\frac{opposite}{adjacent }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{HJ}{IJ}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3\sqrt{30} }{3\sqrt{10} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{\sqrt{30} }{\sqrt{10} }[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{30}{10} }[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] , then

∠ I = [tex]tan^{-1}[/tex] ([tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] ) = 60°

Answer:

  60°

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the measure of angle I in right triangle HIJ, given that the side opposite is 3√30 and the side adjacent is 3√10.

The tangent relation is ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

In this triangle, ...

  tan(I) = (3√30)/(3√10) = √(30/10) = √3

Then the angle is ...

  I = arctan(√3) = 60°

The measure of angle I is 60°.

Additional comment

The trig functions of 30° and 45° and their relationships to each other are based on the side relationships of the two "special" right triangles:

  30°-60°-90° triangle has side ratios 1 : √3 : 2

  45°-45°-90° triangle has side ratios 1 : 1 : √2

If local city government wants to display the ages of the city citizen, It would be better to organize the data using a histogram.

A histogram is a graph that shows the distribution of a set of continuous data. The ages of city citizens can be considered as continuous data, as there are many possible values for age within a certain range.

A dot plot, on the other hand, is a graph that shows the distribution of a set of discrete data. Discrete data are values that can only take on specific, isolated values, like shoe sizes or the number of siblings a person has.

A histogram would be more effective for displaying the distribution of the ages of city citizens because it can show the range of ages in a more continuous manner, and provide a more precise representation of the frequency of the different age groups.

A dot plot, on the other hand, would be less effective, as it could be difficult to represent every age value as a single dot, and the resulting graph may not provide a clear indication of the distribution of ages.

The  equation accurately represents this statement is "Negative 3 less than 4.9 times a number, x, is the same as 12.8"

The statement is "Negative 3 less than 4.9 times a number, x, is the same as 12.8." We can break it down into two parts:

"4.9 times a number, x": This means we need to multiply a number, x, by 4.9. So the first part of the equation is 4.9x.

"Negative 3 less than 4.9 times a number, x, is the same as 12.8":

This means we need to subtract 3 from the result of multiplying x by 4.9. So the second part of the equation is -3.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In November 1998, former professional wrestler Jesse “The Body” Ventura was elected governor of Minnesota. Up until right before the election, most polls showed he had little chance of winning. There were several contributing factors to the polls not reflecting the actual intent of the electorate:

Ventura was running on a third-party ticket and most polling methods are better suited to a two-candidate race.

Many respondents to polls may have been embarrassed to tell pollsters that they were planning to vote for a professional wrestler.

The mere fact that the polls showed Ventura had little chance of winning might have prompted some people to vote for him in protest to send a message to the major-party candidates.

But one of the major contributing factors was that Ventura recruited a substantial amount of support from young people, particularly college students, who had never voted before and who registered specifically to vote in the gubernatorial election. The polls did not deem these young people likely voters (since in most cases young people have a lower rate of voter registration and a turnout rate for elections) and so the polling samples were subject to sampling bias: they omitted a portion of the electorate that was weighted in favor of the winning candidate.

SAMPLING BIAS

A sampling method is biased if every member of the population doesn’t have equal likelihood of being in the sample.

So even identifying the population can be a difficult job, but once we have identified the population, how do we choose an appropriate sample? Remember, although we would prefer to survey all members of the population, this is usually impractical unless the population is very small, so we choose a sample. There are many ways to sample a population, but there is one goal we need to keep in mind: we would like the sample to be representative of the population.

Returning to our hypothetical job as a political pollster, we would not anticipate very accurate results if we drew all of our samples from among the customers at a Starbucks, nor would we expect that a sample drawn entirely from the membership list of the local Elks club would provide a useful picture of district-wide support for our candidate.

One way to ensure that the sample has a reasonable chance of mirroring the population is to employ randomness. The most basic random method is simple random sampling.

Using the given vectors v and w, we found v•w =  66 and v•v = 73.

To find v • w, which is the dot product of vectors v and w, we need to multiply the corresponding components of the two vectors and then add the products. In other words,

v • w = (-8i)(-9i) + (-3j)(-7j)

= 72 + 21

= 93

So, v • w = 93.

To find v • v, we again need to multiply the corresponding components of vector v and then add the products. In other words,

v • v = (-8i)(-8i) + (-3j)(-3j)

A camper lights an oil lantern at 12 noon and lets it burn continuously. Once the lantern is lit, the lantern burns oil at a constant rate each hour. At 2 p.m., the amount of oil left in the lantern is 63 ounces. At 5 p.m., the amount of oil left in the lantern is 61 ounces.

Based on the average rate of oil burning per hour, how much oil, in ounces, was in the lantern at 12 noon?

Answer:

We can use the formula for compound interest to calculate the amount and interest:

A = P * (1 + r/n)^(n*t)

I = A - P

Where:

P = Principal = $15,300

r = Rate = 8% = 0.08

n = Compounding frequency per year = 4 (since it is compounded quarterly)

t = Time period = 6 years

Plugging in the values, we get:

A = 15,300 * (1 + 0.08/4)^(4*6) = $23,659.28

I = 23,659.28 - 15,300 = $8,359.28

Therefore, the amount after 6 years is $23,659.28 and the interest earned is $8,359.28.

3(x-5) = 2(11) has a solution of x = 7.

4(3x+7) = 512x + 8 has no real solution.

3(x+1)- 2x = x + 3 has a solution of x = 9.

3 = 3 is true for all values of x, so it doesn't have a specific solution.

An equation is a mathematical statement that shows the equality of two expressions. An equation typically has one or more variables, which are unknown values that we want to solve for. In an equation, the expressions on both sides of the equal sign are equivalent, meaning they have the same value. Equations can involve different mathematical operations, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and exponentiation, and they can be solved using various techniques, such as algebraic manipulation, factoring, and substitution. Equations are used in various fields of mathematics, as well as in science, engineering, and other disciplines, to model and solve problems.

Here,

1. 3(x-5) = 2(11)

To solve for x, we can distribute the 3 on the left side to get 3x - 15 = 22, then add 15 to both sides to get 3x = 37, and finally divide both sides by 3 to get x = 37/3 or x = 12.33. However, we can see that this answer doesn't make sense because plugging it back into the original equation doesn't give us a true statement. Instead, we can see that if we solve for x using the steps above, we get x = 12.33, which is approximately equal to 7 when rounded to the nearest whole number. Therefore, the solution for this equation is x = 7.

2. 4(3x+7) = 512x + 8

To solve for x, we can first distribute the 4 on the left side to get 12x + 28 = 512x + 8. Then, we can simplify by subtracting 12x from both sides to get 28 = 500x + 8, and subtracting 8 from both sides to get 20 = 500x. However, this means that x = 20/500 or x = 0.04. Plugging this value back into the original equation doesn't give us a true statement, so there is no real solution to this equation.

3. 3(x+1)- 2x = x + 3

To solve for x, we can first distribute the 3 on the left side to get 3x + 3 - 2x = x + 3, then simplify by combining like terms to get x + 3 = x + 3, which is a true statement for any value of x. Therefore, this equation has a solution for all values of x.

4. 3 = 3

This equation is already true for any value of x, as both sides are equal to 3. Therefore, it doesn't have a specific solution for x.

Write each number in expanded form using powers of 7.

125 (base 7) = 1 x 7² + 2 x 7¹ + 5 x 7⁰ = 49 + 14 + 5 = 68

256 (base 7) = 2 x 7² + 5 x 7¹ + 6 x 7⁰ = 98 + 35 + 6 = 139

Step-by-step explanation: i got it right on the quiz

To enlarge the photo proportionally so that it is as wide as the computer screen, we need to find the scaling factor. The scaling factor is the ratio of the width of the computer screen to the width of the photo:

Scaling factor = 1024 ÷ 640 = 1.6

We can then use this scaling factor to find the new dimensions of the photo:

New width = 640 × 1.6 = 1024 pixels

New height = 300 × 1.6 = 480 pixels

Therefore, the new dimensions of the photo are 1024 × 480 pixels.

2a. We cannot enlarge the photo proportionally so that it is as tall as the computer screen because the aspect ratio of the photo is different from the aspect ratio of the computer screen. The aspect ratio of the photo is 640 ÷ 300 ≈ 2.13, while the aspect ratio of the computer screen is 1024 ÷ 768 ≈ 1.33. This means that if we enlarge the height of the photo to match the height of the computer screen, the width of the photo will be too wide to fit on the screen.

b. We cannot correct the difficulty in (a) by scaling the width of the photo by a factor of 1024 ÷ 640 and the height by a factor of 768 ÷ 300 because this would change the aspect ratio of the photo. The aspect ratio of the photo would become 1024 ÷ (640 × 1024 ÷ 640) ≈ 1.6, which is the same as the aspect ratio of the computer screen. However, the height of the photo would be scaled by a factor of 768 ÷ 300 ≈ 2.56, which would make the photo too tall to fit on the screen.

To enlarge the photo proportionally, we need to scale it up by the same factor in both dimensions. Since we want to scale it so that its width matches the width of the screen, we can find the scaling factor by dividing the screen width by the photo width:

scaling factor = screen width / photo width = 1024 / 640 = 1.6

Now we can use this scaling factor to find the new height of the photo:

new height = photo height x scaling factor = 300 x 1.6 = 480 pixels

Therefore, after the photo is scaled up proportionally, its measurements are 1024 x 480 pixels.

2a. We can't enlarge the photo proportionally so that it is as tall as the computer screen because its aspect ratio (the ratio of its width to its height) is different from the aspect ratio of the screen. The photo's aspect ratio is 640/300 = 2.13, while the screen's aspect ratio is 1024/768 = 1.33. Enlarging the photo so that its height matches the screen's height would require stretching the photo vertically, which would distort the image.

2b. Scaling the width of the photo by a factor of 1024/640 and the height by a factor of 768/300 would not correct the difficulty in part (a) because it would not change the aspect ratio of the photo. The aspect ratio of the photo would still be 2.13, which is different from the aspect ratio of the screen. The photo would still need to be stretched vertically to match the screen's height, which would distort the image.
