Answer:

C. Ratio

True for this case we have a clear definition of the 0 since the 0 for the heigth and the weigth represent absence of mass. And the differences between numerical values for the two variables are meaingful.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to know which type of variable represent the weigth and the height. Let's analyze one by one the options given:

A. Ordinal

False since by definition an ordinal variable is "is a categorical variable for which the possible values are ordered". And for this case the height and the weigth are not categorical since represent quantitative data.

B. Nominal

False by definition and ordinal variable is which one that can't be represented by numeric values, and for this case the weight and the height are not example of this definition.

C. Ratio

True for this case we have a clear definition of the 0 since the 0 for the heigth and the weigth represent absence of mass. And the differences between numerical values for the two variables are meaingful.

D. Interval

False on this scale we don't have a clear definition of the 0. And for this case the heigth and the weight have a known definition of the 0 corresponding to the absence of mass. And since the ratios are meaingful for the heigth and the weigth then can't be an interval variable.

Y=2/x-3 make x the subject​
svp [43]
Multiply both sides by x - 3 to get :

y(x - 3) = 2

yx - 3y = 2

yx = 2 + 3y

x = (2 + 3y)/y

Hope this helps! Any questions let me know :)

Surveys indicate that two-thirds of all voters in Ward 5 plan on choosing Spike Jones for commissioner. If there are 500 voters
olya-2409 [2.1K]

<u>Answer:</u>

333 people of ward 5 are going to be voting for Spike Jones.

<u>Solution:</u>

We have been given that two-thirds of all voters in Ward 5 plan on choosing Spike Jones for commissioner.  

There are 500 voters in Ward 5.

Since 2/3 of all voters in Ward 5 are voting for Spike Jones the remaining 1/3 will not be voting for him.

To find out how many people in ward 5 are exactly voting for Spike Jones. We need to calculate how much is two thirds of 500 is.

This is done as follows:

\begin{array}{l}{\frac{2}{3} \times 500} \\\\ {=\frac{1000}{3}} \\\\ {=333.334}\end{array}

Since people cannot be denoted in decimal points we have to round it off to a whole number. That’s is 333.

Therefore 333 people of ward 5 are going to be voting for Spike Jones.
