Rudik [331]3 years ago

Answer:

It is a little bit trivial:

As we know:

Energy sink: is anything that uses energy.

Energy source: is anything that produces energy.

How the caol deposits can be energy sinks? well, you want to extract the coal from those deposits, and to do it, you need to "use energy" (the type of energy can depend on the extraction method, for example, if you use a pickaxe to extract the coal, you are using mechanical energy)

These coals are potential energy sources because coal is an energy source, potential means that, given some circumstances, something can transform into other things.

So potential energy source in this situation means that those coal deposits can be potential energy when we extract the coal and use it as an energy source.

Determine if the columns of the matrix form a linearly independent set. Justify your answer. Choose the correct answer below. A.
kondaur [170]

Th matrix is missing. The matrix is :

\begin{bmatrix}1 &-4  &4 \\ -4 &16  & 4 \end{bmatrix}

Solution :

The column of the matrix are \begin{bmatrix}1\\ -4\end{bmatrix} , \begin{bmatrix}-4\\ 16\end{bmatrix}, \begin{bmatrix}4\\ 4\end{bmatrix}

Now each of them are vectors in $IR^2$. But  $IR^2$ has dimensions of 2. But there are 3 column vectors, hence they are linearly dependent.

Therefore, the column of the given matrix does not form the \text{linearly independent set} as the set contains \text{more vectors} than there are entries in each vector.

Therefore, option (D) is correct.

jasenka [17]

Answer:

The 90% confidence interval is (0.1897, 0.2285).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence interval 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

Z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}

For this problem, we have that:

From a July 2019 survey of 1186 randomly selected Americans ages 18-29, it was discovered that 248 of them vaped (used an e-cigarette) in the past week. This means that n = 1186, \pi = \frac{248}{1186} = 0.2091

Construct a 90% confidence interval to estimate the population proportion of Americans age 18-29 who vaped in the past week.

So \alpha = 0.10 , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.10}{2} = 0.95, so z = 1.645.

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.2091 - 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.2091*0.7909}{1186}} = 0.1897

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.2091 + 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.2091*0.7909}= 0.2285

The 90% confidence interval is (0.1897, 0.2285).
