How does Harrison Bergeron's physical description help to create satire?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The absurdity of Harrison's exaggerated handicaps ridicules society's obsession with equality.Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the year 2081, the 211th, 212th, and 213th amendments to the Constitution dictate that all Americans are fully equal and not allowed to be smarter, better-looking, or more physically able than anyone else. The Handicapper General's agents enforce the equality laws, forcing citizens to wear "handicaps": masks for those who are too beautiful, loud radios that disrupt thoughts inside the ears of intelligent people, and heavy weights for the strong or athletic.

One April, 14-year-old Harrison Bergeron, an intelligent, athletic, and good-looking teenager, is taken away from his parents, George and Hazel Bergeron, by the government. They are barely aware of the tragedy, as Hazel has "average" intelligence (a euphemism for stupidity), and George has a handicap radio installed by the government to regulate his above-average intelligence.

Hazel and George watch ballet on television.They comment on the dancers, who are weighed down to counteract their gracefulness and masked to hide their attractiveness. George's thoughts are continually interrupted by the different noises emitted by his handicap radio, which piques Hazel's curiosity and imagination regarding handicaps. Noticing his exhaustion, Hazel urges George to lie down and rest his "handicap bag", 47 pounds (21 kg) of weights locked around George's neck. She suggests taking a few of the weights out of the bag, but George resists, aware of the illegality of such an action.

On television, a news reporter struggles to read the bulletin and hands it to the ballerina wearing the most grotesque mask and heaviest weights. She begins reading in her unacceptably natural, beautiful voice, then apologizes before switching to a more unpleasant voice. Harrison's escape from prison is announced, and a full-body photograph of Harrison is shown, indicating that he is seven feet (2.1 m) tall and burdened by three hundred pounds (140 kg) of handicaps.

George recognizes his son for a moment, before having the thought eliminated by his radio. Harrison himself then storms the television studio in an attempt to overthrow the government. He calls himself the Emperor and rips off all of his handicaps, along with the handicaps of a ballerina, whom he proclaims his "Empress". He orders the musicians to play, promising them nobility if they do their best. Unhappy with their initial attempt, Harrison takes control for a short while, and the music improves. After listening and being moved by the music, Harrison and his Empress dance while flying to the ceiling, then pause in mid-air to kiss.

Diana Moon Glampers, the Handicapper General, enters the studio and kills Harrison and the Empress with a ten-gauge double-barreled shotgun. She forces the musicians to put on their handicaps, and the television goes dark. George, unaware of the televised incident, returns from the kitchen and asks Hazel why she was crying, to which she replies that something sad happened on television that she cannot remember. He comforts her and they return to their average lives.

Figure A is translated 3 units right and 2 units up. The translated figure is labeled figure B. Figure B is reflected over the x-axis. The reflected figure is labeled figure C. Which best explains why figure A is congruent to figure C? On a coordinate plane, triangle A has points (1, negative 2), (3, negative 2), (3, negative 5). Triangle B has points (4, 0), (6, 0), (6, negative 3). Triangle C has points (4, 0), (6, 0), (6, 3). A Is congruent to B and B Is congruent to C A Is congruent to A, B Is congruent to B, C Is congruent to C Each triangle is a right triangle. Each triangle is an isosceles triangle.

Answers

Answer:

A Is congruent to B and B Is congruent to C

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's look at the answer choices:

A: "A Is congruent to B and B Is congruent to C"

Well, clearly, if A ≅ B and B ≅ C, then by the transitive property, we can say that A ≅ C. So, A is very likely correct.

B: "A Is congruent to A, B Is congruent to B, C Is congruent to C"

Just because A is congruent to itself (and same with B and C) doesn't necessarily mean that they're congruent to each other. So, B is wrong.

C: "Each triangle is a right triangle."

Again, there are so many right triangles out there with different dimensions. For example, there are some with sides 3, 4, and 5, and others with sides 5, 12, and 13. They are not congruent, however. So, rule out C.

D: "Each triangle is an isosceles triangle."

This is just like choice C since there are so many variations of isosceles triangles. So D is wrong.

The answer is thus A.

Answer:

First one:

A Is congruent to B and B Is congruent to C

Step-by-step explanation:

Since B is obtained by translating A, it has the same measure angles and sides as A, hence B is congruent to A

C is obtained by reflecting B, which doesn't alter the measure of sides and angles, so C is congruent to B

Therefore by transition, C is congruent to A

Arrange the equations in the correct sequence to find the inverse of f(x) = y = 3x / 8 + x​

Answers

Answer:

Inverse of f(x)

               [tex]f^{l} (x) = \frac{8 x}{3-x}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:-

Step(i):-

Given the function

                        [tex]f(x) = \frac{3 x}{8+x}[/tex]

Given function is one-one and onto function

Hence f(x) is bijection function

                   [tex]y = f(x) = \frac{3 x}{8+x}[/tex]

now cross multiplication, we get

            ( 8+x)y = 3 x

             8 y + x y = 3 x

             8 y = 3 x - x y

taking Common 'x' we get

            x (3 - y) = 8 y

                   [tex]x = \frac{8 y}{3-y}[/tex]

Step(ii):-

The inverse function

                 [tex]x = \frac{8 y}{3-y} = f^{l}(y)[/tex]

The inverse function of x

                  [tex]f^{l}(x) = \frac{8 x}{3-x}[/tex]

Final answer:-

Inverse of f(x)

               [tex]f^{l} (x) = \frac{8 x}{3-x}[/tex]

Again,
Josh wants to make 5 airplane propellers. he needs 18 centimeters of wood for each propeller. how many centimeters of wood will he use? How can I help him understand this problem.

Answers

Answer:

90 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

One airplane propeller needs 18 centimetres of wood.

Josh wants to make 5 of them.

So, we would have to take the '18' centimetres of wood and multiply by 5 to get the total for all 5 pieces.

[tex]\text{Number of Propellers} * 18 \text{ Centimetres}[/tex]

[tex]5 * 18 = 90[/tex]

Josh should need 90 centimetres of wood total to make 5 airplane propellers.

So since josh wants to make 5 airplane propellers and he would need 18 centimeters of wood for each propeller. He would need 90cm of wood. When I was younger I would just add. For this problem I would just do this. 18+18+18+18+18=90. I would suggest doing this if your child isn’t very good a multiplication. I’m sorry if this is wrong or something it’s been 7 years since I have been to the 5th grade.

What is arithmetic?

In mathematics, it deals with numbers of operations according to the statements. There are four major arithmetic operators, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division,

Here,

Since the bridge is 54 feet long,
Now at the center of the bridge, a sign is placed,
So the distance of sign from both ends is equal to half of the total length of the bridge. i.e.
= 54 / 2
= 27

Thus, the center of the sign will be 27 feet apart from both ends of the bridge.

Two samples each of size 20 are taken from independent populations assumed to be normally distributed with equal variances. The first sample has a mean of 43.5 and standard deviation of 4.1 while the second sample has a mean of 40.1 and standard deviation of 3.2. A researcher would like to test if there is a difference between the population means at the 0.05 significance level. What can the researcher conclude?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]t=\frac{(43.5 -40.1)-(0)}{3.678\sqrt{\frac{1}{20}+\frac{1}{20}}}=2.923[/tex]

The degrees of freedom are

[tex]df=20+20-2=38[/tex]

And the p value is given by:

[tex]p_v =2*P(t_{38}>2.923) =0.0058[/tex]

Since the p value for this cae is lower than the significance level of 0.05 we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true means for this case are significantly different

Step-by-step explanation:

When we have two independent samples from two normal distributions with equal variances we are assuming that  

[tex]\sigma^2_1 =\sigma^2_2 =\sigma^2[/tex]

And the statistic is given by this formula:

[tex]t=\frac{(\bar X_1 -\bar X_2)-(\mu_{1}-\mu_2)}{S_p\sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1}+\frac{1}{n_2}}}[/tex]

Where t follows a t distribution with [tex]n_1+n_2 -2[/tex] degrees of freedom and the pooled variance [tex]S^2_p[/tex] is given by this formula:

[tex]S^2_p =\frac{(n_1-1)S^2_1 +(n_2 -1)S^2_2}{n_1 +n_2 -2}[/tex]

The system of hypothesis on this case are:

Null hypothesis: [tex]\mu_1 = \mu_2[/tex]

Alternative hypothesis: [tex]\mu_1 \neq \mu_2[/tex]

We have the following data given:

[tex]n_1 =20[/tex] represent the sample size for group 1

[tex]n_2 =20[/tex] represent the sample size for group 2

[tex]\bar X_1 =43.5[/tex] represent the sample mean for the group 1

[tex]\bar X_2 =40.1[/tex] represent the sample mean for the group 2

[tex]s_1=4.1[/tex] represent the sample standard deviation for group 1

[tex]s_2=3.2[/tex] represent the sample standard deviation for group 2

First we can begin finding the pooled variance:

[tex]\S^2_p =\frac{(20-1)(4.1)^2 +(20 -1)(3.2)^2}{20 +20 -2}=13.525[/tex]

And the deviation would be just the square root of the variance:

[tex]S_p=3.678[/tex]

The statistic is givne by:

[tex]t=\frac{(43.5 -40.1)-(0)}{3.678\sqrt{\frac{1}{20}+\frac{1}{20}}}=2.923[/tex]

The degrees of freedom are

[tex]df=20+20-2=38[/tex]

And the p value is given by:

[tex]p_v =2*P(t_{38}>2.923) =0.0058[/tex]

Since the p value for this cae is lower than the significance level of 0.05 we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis and we can conclude that the true means for this case are significantly different

Using the t-distribution, as we have the standard deviation for the sample, it is found that the researcher can conclude that there is a difference between the population means at the 0.05 significance level.

What are the hypothesis tested?

At the null hypothesis, it is tested if there is no difference, that is:

[tex]H_0: \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 0[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if there is a difference, that is:

[tex]H_a: \mu_1 - \mu_2 \neq 0[/tex]

What is the mean and the standard error of the distribution of differences?

For each sample, we have that they are given by

[tex]\mu_1 = 43.5, s_1 = \frac{4.1}{\sqrt{20}} = 0.9168[/tex]

[tex]\mu_2 = 40.2, s_2 = \frac{3.2}{\sqrt{20}} = 0.7155[/tex]

Hence, for the distribution of differences, the mean and the standard error are given by:

[tex]\overline{x} = \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 43.5 - 40.2 = 3.3[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{s_1^2 + s_2^2} = \sqrt{0.9168^2 + 0.7155^2} = 1.163[/tex]

What is the test statistic?

It is given by:

[tex]t = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{s}[/tex]

In which [tex]\mu = 0[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis, hence:

[tex]t = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{s}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{3.3 - 0}{1.163}[/tex]

[tex]t = 2.84[/tex]

What is the decision?

Considering a two-tailed test, as we are testing if the mean is different of a value, with a significance level of 0.05 and 20 + 20 - 2 = 38 df, the critical value is of [tex]|z^{\ast}| = 2.0244[/tex].

Since the absolute value of the test statistic is greater than the critical value, it is found that the researcher can conclude that there is a difference between the population means at the 0.05 significance level.

Suppose the round-trip airfare between Philadelphia and Los Angeles a month before the departure date follows the normal probability distribution with a mean of $387.20 and a standard deviation of $68.50. What is the probability that a randomly selected airfare between these two cities will be between $325 and $425?

Answers

Answer:

52.74% probability that a randomly selected airfare between these two cities will be between $325 and $425

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the zscore of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

[tex]\mu = 387.20, \sigma = 68.50[/tex]

What is the probability that a randomly selected airfare between these two cities will be between $325 and $425?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 425 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 325. So

X = 425

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{425 - 387.20}{68.50}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.55[/tex]

[tex]Z = 0.55[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.7088

X = 325

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{325 - 387.20}{68.50}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.91[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.91[/tex] has a pvalue of 0.1814

0.7088 - 0.1814 = 0.5274

State the hypotheses. The first step is to state the null hypothesis and an alternative hypothesis.

Null hypothesis: μNew< μOld

Alternative hypothesis: μNew > μOld

Note that these hypotheses constitute a one-tailed test. The null hypothesis will be rejected if the mean difference between sample means is too small.

Formulate an analysis plan. For this analysis, the significance level is 0.05. Using sample data, we will conduct a two-sample t-test of the null hypothesis.

Analyze sample data. Using sample data, we compute the standard error (SE), degrees of freedom (DF), and the t statistic test statistic (t).

[tex]SE=\sqrt{\frac{S_1^2}{n_1} +\frac{S_2^2}{n_2} } \\\\SE=4.29[/tex]

DF = 31

[tex]t = \frac{(x_1-x_2)-d}{SE} \\\\t = - 0.4997[/tex]

where s1 is the standard deviation of sample 1, s2 is the standard deviation of sample 2, n1 is the size of sample 1, n2 is the size of sample 2, x1 is the mean of sample 1, x2 is the mean of sample 2, d is the hypothesized difference between population means, and SE is the standard error.

The observed difference in sample means produced a t statistic of - 0.499. We use the t Distribution Calculator to find P(t < - 0.499) = 0.311

Therefore, the P-value in this analysis is 0.311.

Interpret results. Since the P-value (0.311) is greater than the significance level (0.05), we cannot reject the null hypothesis.

From the above test we do have sufficient evidence in the favor of the claim that new method is efficient than the old method.

What is the vertex of the graph of the function f(x) = x2 + 8x - 2 ?
(-4, 18)
(0, -2)
(-8, -2)
(-4, -18)

Answers

Answer: (-4,-18)

Step-by-step explanation: If you use desmos you can graph the equation to find the vertex.

The vertex of the graph of function f(x) =  x² + 8x - 2 is (-4, -18)

What is the vertex of the graph of a quadratic function?

In a quadratic function, the vertex of the graph refers to the highest or lowest possible outcome of the function. In a graph, the vertex is the highest or lowest point on the parabola,

Given that:

f(x) = x² + 8x - 2

where;

a = 1b = 8c = - 2

By using the vertex formula to find the x-value;

[tex]\mathbf{x = \dfrac{-b}{2a}}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{x = \dfrac{-8}{2(1)}}[/tex]

x = -4

So,

y = (-4)² + 8(-4) - 2

y = 16 -32 -2

y = -18

Therefore, the vertex of the graph of function f(x) =  x² + 8x - 2 is (-4, -18)

. The pet store salesman told Evan to feed his dog 8 ounces of food per day. The food is sold in pounds. How many pounds does Evan need to buy for 2 weeks of feeding his dog? (16 ounces = 1 pound)?

Answers

It’s 7 pounds. 8 ounces per day then multiply that by 7 days which is 56 ounces then multiply 56 by 2 which makes 112, then multiply 112 by 16 which stands for ounces and you get 7.
