Answer:

0.02

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the earth's oceans is approximately 1.34\cdot 10^{9}1.34⋅10

1, point, 34, dot, 10, start superscript, 9, end superscript cubic kilometers (\text{km}^3)(km

)left parenthesis, start text, k, m, end text, cubed, right parenthesis, and ocean water has a mass of about 1.03 \cdot 10^{12}\,\dfrac{\text{kg}}{\text{km}^3}1.03⋅10

To simplify, we will use the product of powers property of exponents that says that x^a\cdot x^b = x^{a+b}x

a

⋅x

b

=x

a+b

x, start superscript, a, end superscript, dot, x, start superscript, b, end superscript, equals, x, start superscript, a, plus, b, end superscript.

\qquad 1.34\cdot 10^{9}\,\cancel{\text{km}^3} \cdot 1.03 \cdot 10^{12}\,\dfrac{\text{kg}}{\cancel{\text{km}^3}} = 1.3802 \cdot 10^{21}\,\text{kg}1.34⋅10

Hint #2

Next we want to know what portion of the earth's mass this represents. We have:

\qquad \begin{aligned} \dfrac{\text{mass of the oceans}}{\text{total mass of the earth}} &= \dfrac{1.3802 \cdot 10^{21}\,\text{kg}}{6\cdot 10^{24}\,\text{kg}} \\\\ &= \dfrac{1.3802}{6\cdot 10^{3}} \\\\ &= \dfrac{1.3802}{6000} \\\\ &= 0.0002300\overline{3} \end{aligned}

total mass of the earth

mass of the oceans

​

​

 

=

6⋅10

24

kg

1.3802⋅10

kg

​

=

6⋅10

1.3802

​

=

6000

1.3802

​

=0.0002300

3

​

To convert this to a percent, we multiply by 100100100, so the oceans represent 0.02300\overline{3}\%0.02300

3

%0, point, 02300, start overline, 3, end overline, percent of the earth's total mass, according to these figures.

Hint #3

To the nearest hundredth of a percent, 0.020.020, point, 02 percent of the earth's mass is from oceans.

Which of the choices below is not a possible correlation coefficient?
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

The condition for r is the following:

-1 \leq r \leq 1

And for this case if we analyze the options the only impossible value is given by:

1.0528

Because this value is higher than 1 and not satisfy the general limits for r

Step-by-step explanation:

The correlation coefficient is a measure of dispersion and is a value between -1 and 1, and is defined as:

r=\frac{n(\sum xy)-(\sum x)(\sum y)}{\sqrt{[n\sum x^2 -(\sum x)^2][n\sum y^2 -(\sum y)^2]}}

The condition for r is the following:

-1 \leq r \leq 1

And for this case if we analyze the options the only impossible value is given by:

1.0528

Because this value is higher than 1 and not satisfy the general limits for r

Identify the square root of 2 as either rational or irrational, and approximate to the tenths place
Pie

Answer: Irrational

Step-by-step explanation:

It is irrational because you cannot multiply a number by the same number to get the square root of 2.

I think the approximation is 1.4 or 1.42

Please help with numbers 1 and 2 !!!
lesantik [10]
Well, this is a stem and leaf problem. 

The numbers are 20, 28, 29, 29, 31, 32, 36, 41, and 42. 

In order to solve for the mean, we find the average and we add the numbers together and divide by 9(there are 9 numbers). 

The mean is 32.
The median is the middle number, or 31.
