A scuba divers dove 950 feet below the surface in 19 minutes what integer represents the average rate of change for this dive?

1 answer:

6 0

"950 feet in 19 minutes" can be expressed as the rate (950/19) (ft/min), and is negative because the diver is descending (going downward).

Simplifying, -950/19 (ft/min) = -50 (ft/min)

A survey was conducted that asked 1003 people how many books they had read in the past year. Results indicated that x overbar eq

Sergio [31]

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval would be given (11.448;14.152).

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Important concepts and notation

A confidence interval for a mean "gives us a range of plausible values for the population mean. If a confidence interval does not include a particular value, we can say that it is not likely that the particular value is the true population mean"

$s=16.6$ represent the sample deviation

$\bar X=12.8$ represent the sample mean

n =1003 is the sample size selected

Confidence =99% or 0.99

$\alpha=1-0.99=0.01$ represent the significance level.

2) Solution to the problem

The confidence interval for the mean would be given by this formula

$\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2} \frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

We can use a z quantile instead of t since the sample size is large enough.

For the 99% confidence interval the value of $\alpha=1-0.99=0.01$ and $\alpha/2=0.005$ , with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

$z_{\alpha/2}=2.58$

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:

$12.8 - 2.58 \frac{16.6}{\sqrt{1003}}=11.448$

$12.8 + 2.58 \frac{16.6}{\sqrt{1003}} =14.152$

And the 99% confidence interval would be given (11.448;14.152).

We are confident that about 11 to 14 are the number of books that the people had read on the last year on average, at 1% of significance.

Rhombus EFGH is shown. What is the measure of ∠HGJ?

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

∠HGJ = 35°

Step-by-step explanation:

Although the question is somewhat incomplete, I have tried to reconstruct the question as much as possible to aid understanding (attached is the pictorial representation of the rhombus).

Firstly, it is important to note that rhombuses are parallelograms which have all sides equal and whose diagonals are perpendicular to each other. In addition to this, their diagonals bisect one other.

Mathematically, |EF| = |FG| = |GH| = |HE|

Another property which rhombuses have is that their opposite angles are equal.

Mathematically, ∠E = ∠G, ∠H = ∠F

The adjacent angles in a rhombus are supplementary. This means that the sum of angles closest to each other is 180°.

Mathematically, ∠E + ∠F = 180°, ∠F + ∠G = 180°, ∠G + ∠H = 180°,

∠H + ∠E = 180°

The question gave us ∠GHE and asked us to find ∠HGJ (denoted as θ in the picture attached). Note that ∠GHE means ∠H. That is, ∠GHE ⇒ ∠H

∠GHE or ∠H = 110°

From the properties of rhombuses (earlier stated), we know that adjacent angles in a rhombus are supplementary

Mathematically,

∠GHE + ∠FGH ⇒ 110° + ∠FGH = 180° ⇒ ∠FGH = 180° - 110°

∠FGH or ∠G = 70°

To calculate for ∠HGJ, we divide ∠FGH by 2, we have:

∠HGJ = ∠FGH ÷ 2 = 70° ÷ 2

∠HGJ = 35°

What is the volume of a cylinder with a base of 24 meters and a height of 6 meters

serg [7]

Answer:

Volume = 2714.34

Step-by-step explanation:

This is answer because the formula to finding cylinder volume is: $\pi$ $r^{2}$ h

Radius = $\frac{Diameter or Base}{2}$

Radius = 12

12 squared = 144

144*6 = 864

864 $\pi$ = 2714.34 (rounded)
