Answer:

15 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a polygon is the sum of the lengths of its sides. A square has 4 sides, all the same length. We can either add up the side lengths, or we can recognize that multiplication of one side's length by 4 is a useful alternative.

perimeter = 4 × (3 3/4 in)

= (4×3 +4×3/4) in

= 12 in + 3 in = 15 in

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics publication News, self-employed persons with home-based businesses work a mean of

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that mean (μ) = 23 hours, standard deviation (σ) = 10 hours

a) The population is a group of self employed home based workers while the variable is the number of hours worked per week.

b) The mean of the distribution of sample means (also known as the Expected value of M) is equal to the population mean μ.

$\mu_x=\mu=23\ hours$

The standard deviation of the distribution of sample means is called the Standard Error of M, it is given by:

$\sigma_x=\sigma/\sqrt{n} =\frac{10}{\sqrt{100} }=1$

c) $\mu_x=\mu=23\ hours$

$\sigma_x=\sigma/\sqrt{n} =\frac{10}{\sqrt{1000} }=0.32$

d) The sample size has no effect on the mean, hence increasing the sample size does not change the mean.

The square root of sample size is inversely proportional to the standard deviation therefore increasing the sample size reduces the standard deviation.

Ms. Callahan had 250 sheets of paper. She used 6 sheets of paper. She then gave each student 3 sheets of paper.

irina [24]

The answer would be D if it was 250-6-3n. it wouldnt be A or C because 9 isnt anywhere in the problem and it wouldnt be B because she used 6 peices of paper she didnt just give it to her students

HeLp!!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A constant correlation is essentially when the points on a scatter plot do not show any type of pattern or correlation; the points are literally scattered rather randomly, which would cause the graph to neither increase nor decrease.

Meanwhile, a positive correlation means that the points on the plot follow a line with a positive slope. In other words, it increases to the right.

Thus, the answer is C.

Hope this helps!

An airplane travels 6903 kilometers against the wind in 9 hours and 8613 kilometers with the wind in the same amount of time. Wh

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

The rate of the plane is 862 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

An airplane travels 6903 kilometers against the wind in 9 hours.

Speed = distance / time

Speed of the airplane while travelling against the wind is

6903/9 = 767 miles per hour

The airplane travelled 8613 kilometers with the wind in the same amount of time. This means that the speed while travelling with the wind will be

8613/9 = 957 miles per hour

Let x = speed of the airplane

Let y = speed of the wind

While travelling against the wind,

x - y = 767 - - - - - -- 1

While travelling with the wind,

x + y = 957 - - - - - - -2

Subtracting equation 2 from equation 1,

-y - y = 767 - 957

-2y = -190

y = -190/-2

y = 95 miles per hour

x = 957 - y

x = 957 - 95

x = 862 miles per hour

A bag contains 2 white marbles and 7 purple marbles. Two marbles are drawn at random. One marble is drawn and not replaced. Then

Masja [62]

A.
$\frac{7purple}{9total} * \frac{2white}{8total} \\ \frac{14}{72} \\ =0.194$
The denominator of the second number goes down one because you aren't replacing the initial marble pulled, making the amount of marbles in the bag go down, but not affecting the white count because you pulled a purple marble.
b.
$\frac{2white}{9total} * \frac{1white}{8total} \\ \frac{2}{72} \\ =0.278$
The same can be said about the denominator for this problem, but not the numerator. The numerator must go down one number as well, because you already chose one white marble, taking one of the white marbles out of the bag, leaving you with one solitary, white marble.
c.
Chance of selecting two purple marbles:
 $\frac{7purple}{9total} * \frac{6purple}{8total} \\ \frac{42}{72} \\ =0.583$
Chance of selecting two white marbles:
$\frac{2white}{9total} * \frac{1white}{8total} \\ \frac{2}{72} \\ =0.278$
Chance of selecting two purple vs. Chance of Selecting 2 white:
0.583>0.278.
It is more likely to select 2 purple marbles.

Hope this helps!
