When you are doing an experiment that will have multiple trials, how do you handle averages?

1 answer:

6 0

I would say that in doing an experiment that will have multiple trials, if one of the variables is changed each time, say temperature or pressure amount, then average results between experiments will not be valid. They would only be valid if the same conditions applied for each one, to determine the inherent variability of the result.

Father can do the job on the farm in 6 hours. The older son can do it in 8 hours. The younger son can do same job in 12 hours. H

FrozenT [24]

Answer: it will take a combined rate of 2.67 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Father can do the job on the farm in 6 hours. This means that the father's unit rate of working will be 1/6

The older son can do it in 8 hours. This means that the older son's rate of working will be 1/8

The younger son can do same job in 12 hours. This means that the younger son's working rate is 1/12

When they work together, they will be working simultaneously. It means that their unit rates are additive. The combined unit rates will be

1/6 + 1/8 + 1/12 = (20 + 15 + 10)/120

45/120

Assuming it takes t hours for them to complete the work while doing it together. Their combined unit rate will be 1/t

45/120 = 1/t

45t = 120

t = 120/45 = 2.67 hours

Help me!! Find the area of this figure.

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

510

Step-by-step explanation:

divide into chunks. I divided it like how you would draw the equal sign.

for top chunk, 20*8=160

for 2nd chunk, 8*25=200

for the last chunk, 15*10=150

add up 160, 200, and 150

A line goes through the point (–4,–2) and has an x-intercept of –1.

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

y = - x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

m = - 1

y = - x + b

(- 4, - 2)

- 2 = - (-4) + b

-2 = 4 + b

b = - 6

y = - x - 6

Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to y=7x−2 and passes through the point (14,8).(1 point) y=7x−90 y=10x−17 y=−1

True [87]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{y=-\frac{1}{7}x+ 10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the equation of this line, we need to note two things.

A) The slope of two lines that are perpendicular will be opposite reciprocals (that is, multiplying them gets us -1.)
B) We can substitute a point inside an incomplete equation to try and find a missing value.

So first, let's find the opposite reciprocal of 7 which will be the slope to this equation.

<u>Reciprocal of 7:</u> $\frac{1}{7}$
<u>Opposite of </u> $\frac{1}{7}$ : $-\frac{1}{7}$

So the slope of this line will be $-\frac{1}{7}$ . The y-intercept will change, and we can substitute what we know into the equation $y=mx+b$ .

$y = -\frac{1}{7}x+b$

Now, we can substitute a point on the graph (14, 8) into this equation to find b.

$8 = -\frac{1}{7} \cdot 14 + b$
$8 = -\frac{14}{7} + b$
$8 = -2 + b$
$b = 10$

Now that we know the y-intercept, we can finish off our equation by plugging that in.

$y = -\frac{1}{7}x + 10$

Hope this helped!
