Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Obviously it's impossible for anyone to measure the weight and length of all US rattlesnakes.

Thus, A is correct.  200 is not a large sample compared to millions or billions of rattlesnakes, but is still a lot more reasonable and workable than attempting to measure ALL US rattlesnakes.

Answer:  x = 2.65, y = 3.81

Step-by-step explanation:

          ABC similar to PQR

1) Find the ratio of corresponding sides

2) Use that ratio to find values for x & y

        1) Side AB = 2.76cm & Side PR = <em>y</em><em> </em>cm

             Side BC = <em>x</em> cm & Side RQ = 3.66 cm

         Side CA = 3 cm & Side QP = 4.14 cm (both lengths given)    

Can match 3 to 4.14 & ratio of sides in ABC to PQR= 3 /4.14

Length of sides ABC = 3/4.14 times the length of sides PQR

           2)  x = (3 / 4.14) * 3.66 = 2.65

            Now solve for y, ABC to PQR:  2.76 = (3 / 4.14) (<em>y </em>)

<em>equality property</em> (both sides) & inverse operation to isolate <em>y : </em> .               2.76 ÷ (3 / 4.14) = (3 / 4.14 ) ÷ (3 / 4.14) (<em>y</em><em>)</em>

              2.76 * (4.14 / 3) =  3 / 4.14 * (4.14 / 3) (<em>y</em><em>)</em>

                     (2.76 * 1.38 ) =  3.81  = <em>y</em>

<em></em>

HALLLPPP I RLLY NEED UR HELLLPP PLSSSS!!!
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

92.727

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for compound interest is P((1+i)^{t} -1), where P is the principal amount, i is the interest rate and t is the time. Sub your values into this formula to find your answer.

1000((1+0.03)³-1)

1000(1.03³-1)

1000(1.092727-1)

92.727

1000(0.092727)

.The binomial (a + 5) is a factor of a2 + 7a + 10. What is the other factor?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

(a+2) Is your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

You could try synthetic division, but it's pretty complicated (not to mention for much harder problems), so you should try factoring this. What two numbers multiply up to 10 and add up to 7? Using trial and error, we would find these two numbers to be 2 and 5. Therefore, it factors into (a+5)(a+2).

The population mean and standard deviation are given below. Find the required probability and determine whether the given sample
nataly862011 [7]

The probability of the sample is 0.5 or 50%

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Mean, μ = 20

Standard deviation, δ = 1.3

Probability of sample being less than 20.1 = ?

P (x < 20.1) = 20.1 - μ / δ √n

P (x < 20.1) = \frac{20.1 - 20}{1.3\sqrt{61} }

                  = 0.0098

P( x < 20.1) = P(z < 0.0098)

P (z < 0.0098) = 0.5

The value of P is found out using a z score table.

Therefore, probability of the sample is 0.5 or 50%
