Measuring the speed of sound in the ocean is an important part of marine research. One application is the study of climate chang

e. The speed of sound depends on the temperature, salinity, and depth below the surface. For a fixed temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and salinity of 35 parts per thousand, the speed of sound is a function of the depth. At the surface, the speed of sound is 1534 meters per second. For each increase in depth by 1 kilometer, the speed of sound increases by 17 meters per second. Use D for depth (in kilometers) and S for the speed of sound (in meters per second), and find a linear formula for S as a function of D.

Answer:

A linear formula for S as a function of D is S=17D+1534

Step-by-step explanation:

We are supposed to find a linear formula for S as a function of D.

Equation of line : y = mx+c

We are given that At the surface, the speed of sound is 1534 meters per second.

c = 1534

We are given that for each increase in depth by 1 km, the speed increases by 17 m/s

So, Slope = m = 17

Substitute the values in equation

y=17x+1534

x denotes depth

y denotes speed

We are given that Use D for depth and S for the speed of sound

So, S=17D+1534

Hence a linear formula for S as a function of D is S=17D+1534

Angie and Kenny play online video games. Angie buys 1 software package and 3 months of game play. Kenny buys 2 software packages
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

$10

Step-by-step explanation:

cost of one month of game play = x

1(35) + 3x + 2(35) + 5x = 185

35 + 70 + 8x = 185

105 + 8x = 185

-105           -105

8x = 80

/8.     /8

x =10

Of the 80 boys polled at lunch, 55% say they play video games daily. According to the poll, how many boys play video games daily
alexdok [17]

55% = \frac{55}{100} = \frac{11}{20}

Multiply \frac{11}{20} by 80 and you will get how many boys play video games daily.

\frac{11}{20}*80=\frac{11}{1}*4=11*4=44

44 is the number of boys who play video games daily.

Contact [7]

Answer:

1. Median = 10.1

2. A. The median represents the center.

3. D. The​ mode(s) can't represent the center because it​ (they) is​(are) not a data value.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean of a sample = sum of the samples/no of the samples

Samples in increasing order:

9.8

9.8

9.9

10.1

10.4

10.6

11.1

Mode is the sample with highest frequency.

Median is the middle entry of the data.

Mean = (9.8 + 9.8 + 9.9 + 10.1 + 10.4 + 10.6 + 11.1)/7

= 717/7

= 10.243

Median = 10.1

Mode = 9.8 because it has the highest frequency of 2
