Answer: Sample answer : a model is an estimate or approximation of a data set. In the real world, there are too many variables to know exactly what will happen. However, if a model is a good fit, then it can be used to make predictions about what will happen. With a useful model, a predicted value should be a good estimate of an observed value.

Basically meaning that no model can exactly be on point with whatever it is modeling. Two things cannot be EXACTLY identical to what they are referring to, but it is saying that some can get close enough to be useful as an example.

Vertical lines m and n are intersected by lines k and j. At the intersection of lines m and k, the bottom right angle is (x minu
Nezavi [6.7K]

Using the same-side interior angles theorem, the values of x and y are:

x = 80

y = 130

<h3>What is the Same-side Interior Angles Theorem?</h3>

The same-side interior angles theorem states that two interior angles on same side of a transversal are supplementary.

(x - 30) and (x + 50) are same-side interior angles, therefore:

(x - 30) + (x + 50) = 180

Solve for x

x - 30 + x + 50 = 180

2x + 20 = 180

2x = 180 - 20

2x = 160

x = 160/2

x = 80

(x - 30) + y = 180

Plug in the value of x

(80 - 30) + y = 180

50 + y = 180

y = 180 - 50

y = 130

A rectangle with an area of 24 square units has length x+1 and width 4x-6. find the value of x.
astra-53 [7]
Area = length x width.
24 = (x + 2)(x - 3) = x² - x - 6
x² - x - 30 = 0
(x + 5)(x - 6) = 0
We can eliminate the root x = - 5 because dimensions cannot be negative. So, the only valid answer is x = 6

The length = x + 2 = 6 + 2 = 8 in.
The width = x - 3 = 6 - 3 = 3 in.

A locker combination has 2 nonzero digits. Digits in a combination are not repeated and range from 2 through 9. Event A = choosi
Anna [14]
It must be B.

There are two possibilities; in the first, the first digit is below 5, in the second, it is above. The probability of the first possibility is 3/8, because there are 3 possible digits below 5 and 8 total digits. In this scenario, the chance of the second digit being below 5 is 2/7, because one of the digits is taken. In the other possibility, which has a chance of 5/8, the probability of choosing a number below 5 is 3/7, since all of them are still available. Doing the arithmetic, you find that the total probability is 2/7. Hope this helps!

DIC A student has a total of $3000 in student loans that will be paid with a 48-month installment loan with monthly payments of
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

The APR of the loan was 18.30%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a student has a total of $ 3000 in student loans that will be paid with a 48-month installment loan with monthly payments of $ 73.94, to determine the APR of the loan to the nearest one-half of a percent the following calculation must be done:

3,000 = 100

(73.94 x 48) = X

3,000 = 100

3,549.12 = X

3,549.12 x 100 / 3,000 = X

354,912 / 3000 = X

118.30 = X

118.30 - 100 = 18.30

Therefore, the APR of the loan was 18.30%.
