The size of a television screen is given as 95 cm, correct to the nearest 5 cm.
Write down the upper bound of the size of the television screen.

Answers

Answer:

The upper bound is 97.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The upper bound is given as the value that is larger than or equal to all values in a data set, for example, in the data set, {3, 6, 16, 23, 25}, an upper bound  is 25, however, where the accuracy of the data is given, the upper bound can be found by the following relation

Where the number is given to the nearest 100, add and subtract  half of hundred to obtain the upper bound and lower bound respectively

For the question, given that the size of the television is given as 95 cm, correct to the nearest 5 cm, we add add half of 5 cm to get the upper bound as follows;

Upper bound = 95 cm + 5/2 cm = 97.5 cm

The upper bound = 97.5 cm.

Answers

Answer:

Problem 1)  frequency:  160 heartbeats per minute, period= 0.00625 minutes (or 0.375 seconds)

Problem 2) Runner B has the smallest period

Problem 3) The sound propagates faster via a solid than via air, then the sound of the train will arrive faster via the rails.

Step-by-step explanation:

The frequency of the football player is 160 heartbeats per minute.

The period is (using the equation you showed above):

[tex]Period = \frac{1}{frequency} = \frac{1}{160} \,minutes= 0.00625\,\,minutes = 0.375\,\,seconds[/tex]

second problem:

Runner A does 200 loops in 60 minutes so his frequency is:

[tex]\frac{200}{60} = \frac{10}{3} \approx 3.33[/tex]   loops per minute

then the period is: 0.3 minutes (does one loop in 0.3 minutes)

the other runner does 200 loops in 65 minutes, so his frequency is:

[tex]\frac{200}{65} = \frac{40}{13} \approx 3.08[/tex]   loops per minute

then the period is:

[tex]\frac{13}{40} =0.325\,\,\,minutes[/tex]

Therefore runner B has the smaller period

In comparing two distributions, which attribute would you not compare?
A. Shape
B. Center
C. Marginal frequency
D. Spread

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is;

C. Marginal frequency

Step-by-step explanation:

The objective of comparison of two distributions is to check the significant difference from each other

The general measures used to compare the difference between distributions are the measures of centers such as the mean, the measures of spread such as the standard deviation and the shape of the compared distribution curves

Marginal frequencies are the values found in the total row and total column portion of a two way frequency distribution table

The marginal frequency is used to calculate the marginal relative frequency

The values of the marginal frequency, which is a sum, does not characterize the details of a distribution to a large extent.

Answer:

C. Marginal frequency

Step-by-step explanation:

the probability that 2 randomly selected points from Q,R,S,T and W are noncollinear is

Answers

Answer:

2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the likelihood or chance that an event will occur.

Probability = Expected outcome/Total outcome

Since we are to find the probability that 2 randomly selected points from Q,R,S,T and W are non-collinear

Non collinear points are points that doesn't lie on the same straight line. From the diagram given, the two point that are non colliear are (QR, QS, QT and QW making 4 2random non collinear points. Hence out expected number of outcome is 4.

For the total possible outcome, we are to find the number of ways we can randomly select two points from the 5 points given and this can be done using the combination rule.

This can therefore be done in 5C2 number of ways.

5C2 = 5!/(5-2)!2!

5C2 = 5!/3!2!

5C2 = 5*4*3*2*1/3*2*2

5C2 = 5*2

5C2 = 10 different ways

Hence the total possible outcome is 10

Therefore, the probability that 2 randomly selected points from Q,R,S,T and W are noncollinear will be 4/10 = 2/5

A trader bought a bag for 125gh cedis. he later sold it at a profit of 30%. What is his selling price

Answers

Answer:

162.5 Cedis

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost Price= 125

Profit % = 30%

Selling price=?

Selling price= Cost price+ profit

Profit = ?

[tex]profit \% = \frac{profit}{cost \: price} \times 100[/tex]

[tex]30 \% = \frac{x}{125} \times 100[/tex]

[tex]30 \% = \frac{100x}{125} \\ 30 \times 125 = 100x[/tex]

[tex]3750 = 100x \\ \frac{3750}{100} = \frac{100x}{100} \\ x = 37.5[/tex]

Profit = 37.5 gh Cedis

Selling price= 125+37.5

Selling price= 162.5 gh Cedis

The selling price of a bag is 162.5Cedis.

It is required to find the selling price.

What is profit?

The profit is defined as the amount gained by selling a product, and it should be more than the cost price of the product.

Given that :

Let the profit be x.

Cost Price= 125

Profit % = 30%

profit%=profit/cp*100

30=profit/125*100

3750=100x

x=37.5

profit=37.5

Selling price= Cost price+ profit

Selling price=125+37.5

Selling price=162.5ghcedis

So, the selling price of a bag is 162.5Cedis.

How many times larger is the value of
86,000,000 than 8,600?

Answers

Answer:

a 1000 times// just divide them

Answer:

10,000 times Larger

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the multiple larger for 86,000,000 than 8,600, we simply will use the division operation and the result will be the multiple.

86,000,000 / 8,600 = 10,000

Hence, the number 86,000,000, is 10,000 times larger than 8,600.

Another method is simply to look at the additional zeroes that 86,000,000 has in comparison to 8,600.  Since we can see that 86 is the only non-zero digit within the two numbers, we can use the properties of the decimal system to compare.  Note that 86,000,000 has 6 zeroes, while 8,600 has two zeros.  This means that we will need 4 zeroes as part of our tens multiple, so we can say that 10,000 is the multiple.  Once again, we see that 86,000,000 is 10,000 times larger than 8,600.

Answer:

f₁(x) = -3x + 2

f₂(x) = x - 4

f₃(x) = x + 8

f₄(x) = -2x - 6

f₅(x) = -3x

Step-by-step explanation:

1). Since function f₁ (blue line) passes through a point (0, 2) and (-2, 8)

Let the equation of the blue line is,

y = mx + b

Since slope of the line 'm' = [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

m = [tex]\frac{8-2}{-2-0}[/tex]

m = -3

Y-intercept 'b' = 2

Therefore, equation of the line will be,

y = -3x + 2

Linear function representing the line will be,

f₁(x) = -3x + 2

2). Let the equation of the red line passing through (0, -4) and (2, -2) is,

y = mx + b

Slope of the line 'm' = [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

m = [tex]\frac{-4+2}{0-2}[/tex]

m = 1

y-intercept 'b' = -4

Therefore, the linear function will be,

f₂(x) = x - 4

3). Let the equation of the green line passing through (-6, 2) and (-2, 6) is,

y = mx + b

Slope of the line 'm' = [tex]\frac{6-2}{-2+6}[/tex]

m = 1

y-intercept 'b' = 8

Therefore, linear function will be,

f₃(x) = x + 8

4). Let the equation of the yellow line passing through (-6, 6) and (-4, 2) is,

y = mx + b

Slope of the line = [tex]\frac{6-2}{-6+4}[/tex]

m = -2

y-intercept of the line 'b' = -6

Therefore, function representing the line will be,

f₄(x) = -2x - 6

5). Let the equation of the pink line is passing through (0, 0) and (-2, 6) is,

y = mx + b

Since the line is passing through origin, y-intercept 'b' = 0

Slope of the line = [tex]\frac{6-0}{-2-0}[/tex]

m = -3

Therefore, equation of the linear function will be,

f₅(x) = -3x

What is the center of the circle with the equation (x+4)2 + (y - 2)2 = 16?

Answers

Answer:

The center of the circle is

( - 4 , 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a circle is given by

(x - h)² + ( y - k)² = r²

where r is the radius

(h, k) is the center of the circle

The center of a circle is given by

( - h , - k)

From the question equation of the circle is

( x + 4)² + ( y - 2)² = 16

Comparing with the general equation above

( h , k) = ( 4 , - 2)

The center of the circle is

( - h , - k) = ( - 4 , -(-2))

We have the final answer as

( - 4 , 2)

A prisoner is trapped in a cell containing 3 doors. The first door leads to a tunnelthat returns him to his cell after 2 days’ travel. The second leads to a tunnel thatreturns him to his cell after 4 day’s travel. The third door leads to freedom after 1day of travel. If it is assumed that the prisoner will always select doors 1,2,and 3with respective probabilities 0.5,0.3, and 0.2, what is the expected number of daysuntil the prisoner reaches freedom?

Answers

Answer:

2 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Expected number of days until prisoner reaches freedom=E(x)=?

E(x)=x*p(x)

Where x is the number of days and p(x) is the probability associated with them.

X    1    2    3

P(x) 0.5 0.3 0.2

E(x)=1*0.5+2*0.3+3*0.2

E(x)=0.5+0.6+0.6

E(x)=1.7.

Thus, the expected number of days until prisoner reaches freedom are 2 days.

Answers

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

V = Lwh

the volume (given) = 24 ft^3

the height (given) = 18" = 1.5'

24 = L*w*1.5

divide both sides by 1.5

16 = Lw

You need to find the number of feet in each side of the base

since the box has a square base

L = W

AND, found above, L*w = 16

so 4*4= 16
