Answer:

The answer to your question is letter A. 18 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Man height = 6 ft

distance from the lamppost to the man = 8 ft

shadow = 4 ft

height of the lamppost = x

Process

1.- Use proportions to use this problem

\frac{height of the lamppost }{height of the man} = \frac{length of the lamppost to the shadow}{length of the man to the shadow}

\frac{x}{6} = \frac{12}{4}

2.- Solve for x

              x = \frac{6 x 12 }{4}

3.- Simplifying and result

                     x = 18 ft

Determine which of the four levels of measurement​ (nominal, ordinal,​ interval, ratio) is most appropriate for the data below.
ira [324]

Answer:

The ratio level of measurement is most appropriate because the data can be ordered differences can be found and are meaningful, and there is a natural starting zero point.

That's the correct answer since our variable is numerical and have a natural starting point at 0 and the negative values not makes sense.

Step-by-step explanation:

The interval level of measurement is most appropriate because the data can be ordered, differences (obtained by subtraction) can be found and are meaningful, and there is no natural starting point.

Our variable is numerical but we have a starting point defined so it can't be an interval variable.

The nominal level of measurement is most appropriate because the data cannot be ordered.

False on this case the bolume can't be a nominal variable since we don't have a categorical variable.

The ordinal level of measurement is most appropriate because the data can be ordered, but differences (obtained by subtraction) cannot be found or are meaningless.

False we don't have ordered relationship among the variable’s observations

The ratio level of measurement is most appropriate because the data can be ordered differences can be found and are meaningful, and there is a natural starting zero point.

That's the correct answer since our variable is numerical and have a natural starting point at 0 and the negative values not makes sense.

Which of the following represents an equation of of a line with a slope of- 1/4 and an X-intercept of 8?
sdas [7]
<span>Using the form y = mx + b, where m = the slope and b = the y intercept


The x intercept occurs when y = 0, therefore to find b:
-1/4*8 + b = 0
-2 + b = 0
b = 2
therefore our equation is
y = -1/4x + 2,
