Eileen is reading a novel for her library’s summer reading program. Which question can Eileen ask herself to best form a personal connection with the text?

A. What symbolism does this novel share with other novels I have read?
B. How do the facts in the text add to what I already know about my research topic?
C. What connections can I build between the themes in this text and other modern stories?
D. How do the struggles of the characters compare with challenges I have faced in my own life?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To begin with the answer. This is very personal, but I would choose D. I think you have to relate things to what you know. How do other people live through the same problem? Does the author believe that the best path has been chosen, or does he/she believe that the central character is doomed to failure? And how do these comments relate to me. You are going to get the most out of any novel when you can relate to the central character or any of the characters for that matter.

I'm not concerned with C. You can read trash and what they say is likely consistent but that only means that trash is pandering to a clientele that does not want to think much. Whatever spin you put on C, agreement is not a terrific thing. It does not make you think.

I suppose B is important if you are reading non fiction. I'm not answering it that way.

A: not the answer. This is a very remote connection. Most of the time symbolism is not the main attraction of any novel nor especially of any non fiction writing.  Moby D*ick is not a great novel because of its symbolism of which there is a huge amount. It is a great novel because the conflict is between man and nature and although that is symbolic, it is not as important as the character study of Ahab (who is himself a symbol). Nor or Ishmael for that matter. I will admit you have to have a Bible in one hand and Moby Di*ck in the other, but it is not critical. The theme is.

Estimate the square root between two consecutive whole numbers of sqrt [55]

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  7.4 . . . . between 7 and 8

Step-by-step explanation:

55 is between the perfect squares 49 = 7² and 64 = 8². Using linear interpolation, the square root is approximately 7 +(55-49)/(64-49) = 7 6/15 = 7.4

√55 ≈ 7.4 . . . . approximate root by linear interpolation

_____

Additional comment

A way to improve the estimate of the root is to use the "Babylonian method" of iterating the root. Divide the original number (55) by the estimate of the root, and average that result with the estimate:

  next best guess = (55/7.4 +7.4)/2 = 7 77/185 ≈ 7.4162_162(repeating)

This matches the actual root when rounded to 4 decimal places. The number of accurate decimal places approximately doubles with each iteration.

__

Another way to improve the estimate is to modify the fractional portion. (The above method converges on a root more quickly.) For this, the iteration of the fractional part of the root is ...

  next fractional part = 6/(14 +(fractional part))

where 6/14 is the linear estimate fractional value with 1 subtracted from its denominator.

For one iteration, the new estimate of the fractional part is 6/(14 +6/15) = 5/12, so the root estimate is about 7.4167 compared to the above 7.4162.

Solution :

A). x = 2 (mod 3)        [tex]$\mu = 3\times 5 \times 7 = 105$[/tex]

x = 3 (mod 5)       [tex]$y_1=35^{-1} (\mod 3)$[/tex]

x = 4 (mod 7)        [tex]y_1=2[/tex]

[tex]$y_2=21^{-1}(\mod5) = 1$[/tex]

[tex]$y_3=15^{-1}(\mod7) = 1$[/tex]

[tex]$x=2 \times 35 \times 2 + 3\times 21\times 1+4\times 15\times 1$[/tex]

   [tex]=140+63+60[/tex]

An ecologist finds 220 yellow-flowered plants and 180 white-flowered plants. Use the normal distribution to find the Lower boundary of a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of yellow-flowered plants. Which of the following answers is correct to 2 decimal places?
a. Lower boundary = 0.30
b. Lower boundary = 0.60
c. Lower boundary = 0.50
d. Lower boundary = 0.40

Answers

Answer:

c. Lower boundary = 0.50

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which

z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].

An ecologist finds 220 yellow-flowered plants and 180 white-flowered plants.

220 out of 220 + 180 = 400. So

[tex]n = 400, \pi = \frac{220}{400} = 0.55[/tex]

95% confidence level

So [tex]\alpha = 0.05[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975[/tex], so [tex]Z = 1.96[/tex].  

The lower limit of this interval is:

[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.55 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.55*0.45}{400}} = 0.5[/tex]

Thus the correct answer is given by option c.

A psychology professor assigns letter grades on a test according to the following scheme.

Find the numerical limits for a B grade. Round your answers to the nearest whole number, if necessary.

Answers

Answer:

The numerical limits for a B grade are 72 and 79, that is, a score between 72 and 79 results in a B grade.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Scores on the test are normally distributed with a mean of 68.4 and a standard deviation of 9.7.

This means that [tex]\mu = 68.4, \sigma = 9.7[/tex]

Find the numerical limits for a B grade.

Below the 100 - 14 = 86th percentile and above the 65th percentile.

65th percentile:

X when Z has a p-value of 0.65, so X when Z = 0.385.

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

[tex]0.385 = \frac{X - 68.4}{9.7}[/tex]

[tex]X - 68.4 = 0.385*9.7[/tex]

[tex]X = 72[/tex]

86th percentile:

X when Z has a p-value of 0.86, so X when Z = 1.08.

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

[tex]1.08 = \frac{X - 68.4}{9.7}[/tex]

[tex]X - 68.4 = 1.08*9.7[/tex]

[tex]X = 79[/tex]

The numerical limits for a B grade are 72 and 79, that is, a score between 72 and 79 results in a B grade.

Answers

Answer:

Maximum = 19

Minimum = 4

Median = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum number of phone sold per day is the value to the right of the horizontal axis as the values are arranged in ascending order ; Hence, the maximum number of phones sold per day is 19

Also, the minimum number of phones sold per day is the value to the left of the plot, Hence, minimum number of phones sold per day is 14.

The Median value : 4, 9, 14, 19

The median = 1/2(n+1)th term

1/2(5)th term = 2.5 th term

Median (9 + 14) /2 = 13 /2 = 11.5 = 12 phones

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  ∠C = ∠A = 53°

  ∠D = 127°

Step-by-step explanation:

Opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent, so ...

  ∠A = ∠C

  13x -25 = 9x -1

  4x = 24

  x = 6

  ∠C = ∠A = 9(6) -1

  ∠C = ∠A = 53°

Adjacent angles of a parallelogram are supplementary.

  ∠D = 180 -∠C

  ∠D = 180 -(9(6) -1) = 180 -53

  ∠D = 127°

Find the exact values of the six trigonometric functions at “a” given cos(2a) = - 4/5 and a is
in the 2nd quadrant.

Answers

If a is in the second quadrant, then cos(a) < 0 and sin(a) > 0.

Recall the double angle identity for cosine:

cos(2a) = 2 cos²(a) - 1 = 1 - 2 sin²(a)

It follows that

2 cos²(a) - 1 = -4/5   ==>   cos²(a) = 1/10   ==>   cos(a) = -1/√10

1 - 2 sin²(a) = -4/5   ==>   sin²(a) = 9/10   ==>   sin(a) = 3/√10

Then we find

1/cos(a) = sec(a) = -√10

1/sin(a) = csc(a) = √10/3

sin(a)/cos(a) = tan(a) = -3

1/tan(a) = cot(a) = -1/3

Elvira and Aletheia live 3.2 miles apart on the same street. They are in a study group that meets at a coffee shop between their houses. It took Elvira 1/2 hour and Aletheia 2/3 hour to walk to the coffee shop. Find both women's walking speeds.

Missing from the question

Aletheia's speed is 0.6 miles per hour slower than Elvira's speed.

Answer:

[tex]s_E = 3.0[/tex]

[tex]s_A = 2.4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]d = 3.2m[/tex] -- distance

[tex]t_E = 1/2[/tex] --- Elvira time

[tex]t_A = 2/3[/tex] --- Aletheia time

[tex]s_E - s_A = 0.6[/tex] --- the relationship between their speeds

Required

Their walking speed

Distance (d) is calculated as:

[tex]d = speed * time[/tex]

For Elvira, we have:

[tex]d_E = s_E * 1/2[/tex]

For Aletheia, we have:

[tex]d_A = s_A * 2/3[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]d_E + d_A = d[/tex] --- total distance

This gives:

[tex]s_E * 1/2 + s_A * 2/3 = 3.2[/tex]

Recall that:

[tex]s_E - s_A = 0.6[/tex]

Make sE the subject

[tex]s_E = 0.6+s_A[/tex]

Substitute [tex]s_E = 0.6+s_A[/tex] in [tex]s_E * 1/2 + s_A * 2/3 = 3.2[/tex]

[tex](0.6+s_A)* 1/2 + s_A * 2/3 = 3.2[/tex]

[tex]0.3+1/2s_A + 2/3s_A = 3.2[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]1/2s_A + 2/3s_A = 3.2-0.3[/tex]

[tex]1/2s_A + 2/3s_A = 2.9[/tex]

Express all as decimal

[tex]0.5s_A + 0.7s_A= 2.9[/tex]

[tex]1.2s_A= 2.9[/tex]

Divide both sides by 1.2

[tex]s_A = 2.4[/tex]

Recall that:

[tex]s_E = 0.6+s_A[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]s_E = 0.6+2.4[/tex]

[tex]s_E = 3.0[/tex]
