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.

Suppose that 35 people are divided in a random manner into two teams in such a way that one team contains 10 people and the othe
Effectus [21]

Answer:

0.5798 or 57.98%

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of ways to form the two teams is the combination of choosing 10 people out of 35 (₃₅C₁₀). The number of possibilities that A and B are both on the 10-people team is given by the combination of choosing 8 people (since two are fixed) out of 33 (₃₃C₈).The number of possibilities that A and B are both on the 25-people team is given by the combination of choosing 10 people out of 33 (₃₃C₈).

Therefore, the probability that two particular people A and B will be on the same team is:

P = \frac{_{33}C_8+_{33}C_{10}}{_{35}C_{10}} \\\\P=\frac{\frac{33!}{(33-8)!8!}+\frac{33!}{(33-10)!10!} }{\frac{35!}{(35-10)!10!}} \\\\P=\frac{69}{119} = 0.5798

The probability is 0.5798 or 57.98%.

topjm [15]

Answer:

534 is the mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

to calculate the mean you add all the numbers together (for example this set of numbers):

785, 585, 465, 409, 495, 465

=3204

then divide the number of numbers that you added together , (in this case 6)

3204/6

=

23. Kelvin travelled of his journey at 45 km/h and of the remaining journey at 90 km/h. The rest of his journey was completed in
Sonja [21]

Answer:

4.6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

we first need to calculate the total distance he covered and total time taken whole for the journey.

Distance= speed X time

time = Distance/speed

let the total distance be X. he covers 2/5 if the journey first.

2/5 = 0.4

Time = 0.4x/45 hours

the remaining journey is 3/5x

he covers 1/3 X 3/5= 0.2x

time taken = 0.2/90 X hours

the remaining distance = 100× 1.2 = 120km

we add 0.4x + 0.2x to get the fraction he had covered

0.6x.

the remaining distance was X - 0.6x = 0.4 X

thus 120 km represents 0.4x of the journey

we calculate now the value of X

0.4x = 120

X = 300km

Total time taken = 0.4x/45 + 0.2/90 + 1.2 hours

replace X to get time

2.7 hours + 0.7 hours + 1.2 hours

= 4.6 hours
