Experience with a certain type of plastic indicates that a relation exists between the hardness (measured in Brinell units) of i

tems molded from the plastic (Y) and the elapsed time since ter- mination of the molding process (X). It is proposed to study this relation by means of regression analysis. A participant in the discussion objects, pointing out that the hardening of the plastic "is the result of a natural chemical process that doesn't leave anything to chance, so the relation must be mathematical and regression analysis is not appropriate." Evaluate this objection.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The regression analysis is a mathematical measure of the average relationship between two or more variable in terms of the original units of data.

Liner regression: If the regression curve is a straight line then there is a linear regression between the variables.

Non-linear regression: If the regression curve is not a straight line then there is a non-linear regression between the variables.

The correct answer is: a specific mathematical model my not be appropriate in this case.

The argument is the results of natural chemical process that doesn’t leave anything to chance, so the relation must be mathematical and regression analysis is not appropriate.

From the available information, the relation exists between the hardness of items moulded from the plastic \left( y \right) and the elapsed time \left( x \right).

The argument is the results of natural chemical process that doesn’t leave anything to chance, so the relation must be mathematical and regression analysis is not appropriate.

The hardness of items moulded by plastic is dependent on so many other variables, such as material quality (impurities in the plastic), which in turn may change the relation between x{\rm{ and }}.

Also there can be chance of wrong measurement (not purely chance cause). So obviously, there are many effects which are affecting the relation between the variables. So, a specific mathematical model my not be appropriate in this case.

The outer and inner triangles are both equilateral and the circle touches all three sides of the outer triangle. If the area of
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

The area of outer Δ = 40 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ Area of the small triangle = 10 cm²

If we join the center of the circle with the 3 vertices of the inner Δ

These 3 segments are the radii of the circle

Now the inner triangle has 3 isosceles Δ their sides are r , r and s1 with vertex angle 120° ⇒ (360° ÷ 3 = 120°)

Where r is the radius of the circle and s1 is the side of the inner triangle

<em>By using cosine rule</em>

(s1)² = r² + r² - 2r²cos120 = r² + r² - 2r² (-0.5) = r² + r² + r² = 3r²

∴ s1 = r√3

∵ The radius of the circle ⊥ to the side of the outer Δ because the side of the outer Δ is a tangent to the circle

If we join a vertex of the outer Δ with the center of the circle

We will have a right angle triangle of two legs r and half s2 with angle 60° (120° ÷ 2 )between them ⇒ s2 is the side of outer Δ

∴ tan 60° = 1/2 (s2) ÷ r ⇒ √3 = 1/2 (s2) ÷ r = (s2)/2r

∴ s2 = 2r√3

∴ s2 : s1 = 2r√3 ÷ r√3 = 2 : 1

∴ The side of the outer Δ is double the side of the inner Δ

<em>By using similarity ratio</em>

A2/A1 = (s2/s1)² ⇒ A2 and A1 are the areas of outer and inner triangles

∴ A2 : A1 = (2/1)² = 4/1  

∴ A2 = 4 A1

∴ A2 = 4 × 10 = 40 cm²

The ratio of students who prefer pineapple to students who prefer kiwi is 12 to 5. Which pair of equivalent ratios could be used
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

<u> 105</u> students could prefer kiwi if there are 357 total students.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The ratio of students who prefer pineapple to students who prefer kiwi is 12 to 5.

Now, to find number of students prefer kiwi if there are 357 total students.

Let the students prefer pineapple be 12x.

And the students prefer kiwi be 5x.

Total students = 357.

So, we set an equation to get the number of students who prefer kiwi.

According to question:

12x+5x=357

17x=357

<em>Dividing both sides by 17 we get:</em>

x=21.

<em>Thus, students prefer kiwi are:</em>

5x

=5\times 21=105.

Therefore, 105 students could prefer kiwi if there are 357 total students.

Find the circumference and area of a circle having a diameter of 7 1/2 ft. Use 3.14 for pi
valina [46]

Answer:

circumference= 32.56

area= 44.18

Step-by-step explanation:

for area: (A=pi×r^2) your diameter is 7.5 so you divide that by 2 to get your radius. and the radius is 3.75. then you are going to do 3.75^2 to get 14.1 then you are going to multiply 14.1 by pi to get 44.18

for circumference: (2×pi×r) you are going to take the same radius for the area and simply multiply that by pi (3.14) to get 11.78, then you are going to multiply 11.78×2 and that equals 23.56
