Using the graph of the linear function y = x, the ocean floor will spread 10 inches in 10 years.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.

b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

The linear function that models this situation is:

y = x.

Which means that the ocean floor spreads at a rate of 1 inch per year.

Looking at point A on the graph, when x = 10, y = 10, hence the ocean floor will spread 10 inches in 10 years.

Answer:

39 sq cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok. Since ΔAED is isosceles, then the height of the trapezoid is 3 cm

One base is 16 and the other base is 16 - 3 - 3 = 10.

A = 1/2 h( $b_{1}$ + $b_{2}$ ) where $b_{1}$ and $b_{2}$ are lengths of the bases

A = 1/2(3)(10 + 16)

= 1/2(3)(26)

= 39 sq cm

To study the effectiveness of vitamin C in preventing colds, a researcher recruited 200 volunteers. She randomly assigned 100 of

Paul [167]

Answer:

The claim made by the researcher lacks the validity on basis of reasons as indicated in the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The claim made by the researcher is not valid on basis of following reasons:

Interacting variables are not mapped accurately. The additional variables as the health status of the volunteers, eating and fitness habits are not considered in the consideration. This results in a in complete validation.
The placebo effect is not catered accordingly. As the half of the volunteers are taking nothing, this is not the direct influence of the placebo and thus double-blinded testing for placebo effect is to be ensured in future experiments.
The environmental effects are not considered as the effect under study is dependent on the environmental effects, thus the claim is biased and the generalization is not valid.

A distribution has a mean of 16 and a standard deviation of 6. What is the Z score that corresponds with 34?

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Z = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

In a normal distribution, the Z score that corresponds with a data point x is calculated using the formula;

$Z=\frac{x-mean}{standard deviation}$
