Answer:
B. load-distance model
Step-by-step explanation:
A. trial and error
Trial and error is "a fundamental method of problem solving. It is characterised by repeated, varied attempts which are continued until success". But this method is not the best in order to compare effectiveness of layouts
B. load-distance model
The load-distance method is a "mathematical model used to evaluate locations based on proximity factors. The objective is to select a location that minimizes the total weighted loads moving into and out of the facility. The distance between two points is expressed by assigning the points to grid coordinates on a map". And that's the correct option since we are trying to measure the effectiveness of layouts quantitatively.
C. exponential smoothing
This is "a rule of thumb technique for smoothing time series data using the exponential window function". Wheighting observations using the exponential function. But this is a techinique used to smooth s time series not to compare effectiveness of layouts.
D.process control charts
The Control Chart is a "graph used to study how a process changes over time with data plotted in time order". But we don't want to see how the process changes the objective is quantitatively compare the effectiveness of layouts, and this one is not the best option for this.
E. mean absolute deviation (MAD)
The median absolute deviation(MAD) is "a robust measure of how spread out a set of data is. The variance and standard deviation are also measures of spread, but they are more affected by extremely high or extremely low values and non normality". But again is just a measure of spread and not allow to compare effectiveness of layouts.
Answer:
32*15 = 480
1500-480 = 1020
1020/10
102 races
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to solve this quadratic equation 
for n to get <em>which figure has 56 blocks</em>.
For middle term factorization, we need <em>two numbers that multiplied gives us -56 and added gives us 1 (coefficient of n).</em>
<em>Such two numbers are </em><em>8</em><em> and </em><em>-7</em><em>. We can now write,</em>
<em>
</em>
<u><em>"There is no negative figure number possible, so we disregard -8"</em></u>
Our answer is 7.
ANSWER: The 7th figure has 56 blocks.
Average speed = 
Ishan's Speed uphill = 10mph
Time taken = 18 minutes = 18/60 = 3/10 hours
Now distance = rate × time
Distance traveled by Ishaan up hill = 10 × 3/10 = 3 miles
Now returning back home
Distance = 3 miles
Rate = 30 mph
So time taken = distance/ rate = 3/30= 1/10 hours = 1/10 ×60 = 6 minutes.
Now total distance traveled = 3 + 3 = 6 miles
Total time taken = 18 + 6 = 24 minutes = 24/60 = 2/5 hours
Average speed
= 
= 15 mph
Ishaan's average speed for the entire trip from home to the gift store and back is 15mph
Answer:
The number is 10/3
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Convert words into an expression</u>
Three times a number increased by ten is equal to twenty
(3n) + 10 = 20
<u>Step 2: Subtract 10 from both sides</u>
3n + 10 - 10 = 20 - 10
3n = 10
<u>Step 3: Divide both sides by 3</u>
3n / 3 = 10 / 3
n = 10/3
Answer: The number is 10/3
