Answer:

The equation which equates the two is M  = \frac{B}{20}  = 0.05B

A human with a body mass of 80 kilograms will have a blood mass of 4 kilograms.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is said that the blood mass is proportional to the body mass.

We can say that the blood mass of a mammal is M, and that the body mass of a mammal is B.

Since the two are proportional we can write

M  ∝ B   , or M = kB    where k is the constant of proportionality.

Using the given values for a rhinoceros we can write

150 = k × 3000

Therefore k = \frac{150}{3000} = \frac{1}{20}  = 0.05

Therefore the equation which equates the two is M  = \frac{B}{20}  = 0.05B

A human with a body mass of 80 kilograms will have a blood mass of

= \frac{80}{20}  = 4 kilograms

Answer:

Hence the degrees of freedom are associated with the critical value is 25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using two independent samples, two population means are  

compared to determine if a difference exists, the population standard deviation is equal.  

sample size 1 = n_{1}= 15 and sample size 2 = n_{2} = 12  

since, population standard deviations are equal, required degrees of freedom              

= n_{1}  + n_{2} - 2 \\= 15 + 12 - 2\\ = 25

1/6 and 2/3=eaten
add 1/6 and 2/3
convert bottom number to same
2/3=4/6
1/6+4/6=5/6
5/6 eaten
3-5/6=
2+1-5/6=
2+6/6-5/6=
2+1/6

If you add the standard deviation to the average, it is 14.84. Because Marcus's score was lower than that, he will not receive a certificate. 
I think this should be right for the reason and the calculation.

Answer the following questions CORRECTLY I will know if this is wrong. I WILL REPORT ANY INCORRECT ANSWERS!
timurjin [86]

Answer by JKismyhusbandbae: add 5 to 23

Explanation: The numbers are increasing by 5 each term. To double check 13 - 8 equals 5. To make sure it's right add 13 + 5 equals 18 and so you can add 23 plus 5 equals 28. Which means that five is our pattern.

A baseball player reaches first base 30% of the time he is at bat.out of 50 times at bat,about how many times will the player re
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

15 times

Step-by-step explanation:

If he bats 50 times, he will be expected to reach first base "30% of the time".

We simply need to find "what is 30% of 50?"

We first need to convert the percentage (30%) to decimal and then multiply that with 50 to get our answer.

Converting percentage to decimal is very simple! We divide by 100. That's it!

So, we have:

30% = 30/100 = 0.3

Now we do the multiplication:

0.3 * 50 = 15

So, the player would reach first base 15 times (out of 50 times of batting)
