The main reason why it is not realistic to measure the distance between two points on a map as a straight line is because a map is a flat representation of the Earth. However, the Earth is not as flat as the map. Instead, the topography is complex, with slopes, hills, etc. These geographical features can change the speed at which we travel, the path we need to take to get to a different point, and the distance between such two points.

The map is a flat schematic of some actual distance, on a map, the distance form point A to point B may well be 10 units say, however, in actuality, if you go and walk from point A to point B, you'd notice that, first off is not a straight line most of the time, and also it may have a slanted or sloped section, and the map is not including that slope or hill, whilst you do have to walk it.

so, adding all the twists and curves along the way and any bumps or slopes, is really not exactly 10 units from A to B.

PLEASE HELP! I will give you the brainiest and A LOT of points! (Ch.5.3)
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Multiplier = 1.75x (7/4).

7/8 cups butter, 4 and 3/8 ounces chocolate, 1 and 3/4 cups sugar, 7/8 teaspoons vanilla, 3 and 1/2 eggs (4 if rounded!), 1 and 5/16 cups flour.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ingredient list is for 16 brownies, but you need to make 28. This means you have to make 1.75x the amount (28/16), so all ingredient quantities need to be multiplied by 7/4 (1.75 in fraction form).

Butter: 1/2 * 7/4 = 7/8 cups

Chocolate: 5/2 * 7/4 = 4 and 3/8 ounces

Sugar: 1 * 7/4 = 1 and 3/4 cups

Vanilla: 1/2 * 7/4 = 7/8 teaspoons

Eggs: 2 * 7/4 = 3 and 1/2 eggs (if rounded, 4, as 3.5 rounds up)

Flour: 3/4 * 7/4 = 1 and 5/16 cups

Past experience has indicated that the breaking strength of yarn used in manufacturing drapery material is normally distributed
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

95% two-sided confidence interval on the true mean breaking strength is (94.8cm, 99.2cm)

Step-by-step explanation:

Our sample size is 11.

The first step to solve this problem is finding our degrees of freedom, that is, the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 11-1 = 10.

Then, we need to subtract one by the confidence level \alpha and divide by 2. So:

\frac{1-0.95}{2} = \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.025

Now, we need our answers from both steps above to find a value T in the t-distribution table. So, with 10 and 0.025 in the two-sided t-distribution table, we have T = 1.812

Now, we find the standard deviation of the sample. This is the division of the standard deviation by the square root of the sample size. So

s = \frac{4}{\sqrt{11}} = 1.2060

Now, we multiply T and s

M = Ts = 1.812*1.2060 = 2.19/tex]For the lower end of the interval, we subtract the sample mean by M. So the lower end of the interval here is[tex]L = 97 - 2.19 = 94.81 = 94.8cm

For the upper end of the interval, we add the sample mean and M. So the upper end of the interval here is

L = 97 + 2.19 = 99.19 = 99.2cm

So

95% two-sided confidence interval on the true mean breaking strength is (94.8cm, 99.2cm).
