Answer:

44 square feet were used to build the aquarium

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ The area of the rectangular prism = Lateral area + 2 Base area

∵ The top of the aquarium is open

∴ The area of the aquarium = Lateral area +  Base area

∵ Lateral area = perimeter of base × height

∵ Its base is a rectangle

∵ The dimensions of the base are 4 feet and 2 feet

∵ Its height = 3 feet

∴ Perimeter of the base = 2(4 + 2) = 12 feet

∴ Area of the base = 4 × 2 = 8 feet²

∴ Area of aquarium = 12 × 3 +  8 = 36 + 8 = 44 feet²

A study dealing with health care issues plans to take a sample survey of 1500 Americans to estimate the mean dollar amount that
frutty [35]

Answer:

The population parameter of this study is the population mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

A population parameter is a numerical measure representing a certain characteristic of the population. For example, population mean, population variance, population proportion, and so on.

The population parameter is computed using all the values of the population.

The population parameter can be estimated using the sample statistic. If the value of the population parameter is not known, then a random sample of large size, say <em>n</em> ≥ 30 can be selected from the population and the statistic value can be computed. This statistic value is considered as the point estimate of the parameter. It is also known as the unbiased estimator of the parameter.

In this case the survey involved sampling of 1500 Americans to estimate the mean dollar amount that Americans spent on health care in the past year.

The sample selected is used to compute the sample mean dollar amount that Americans spent on health care.

So, the population parameter of this study is the population mean.

The question is: Write and solve an equation to determine the width 'w' of the flag. The length of an American flag is 1.9 times
AysviL [449]

So what is given is:

length = 1.9 * w, you want to convert this to w = ...

This is done by dividing left and right by 1.9, so you get:

length/1.9 = 1.9*w/1.9, which simplifies to w = length/1.9

Another approach is to replace the multiplication with a simpler one in your head. So in stead of reading "length = 1.9 * width, what is width?", you read "6 = 2*3, what is 3?". You'll immediately realize 3 = 6/2, and that shows you how to change the real equation, ie., width = length/1.9.
