Answer:

height of the tree is 30 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

a tree casts a shadow 42 feet long . at the same time, a person 5 feet tall casts a shadow 7 feet long.

shadow of a 5 feet tall person is 7 feet long

Let x be the height of the tree

shadow of a 42 feet tree is x feet long

Make a proportion

\frac{x}{42} =\frac{5}{7}

cross multiply

7x=(42)(5)

7x=210

divide by 7 on both sides

x=30

So height of the tree is 30 feet

A marker is randomly selected from a drawer that contains 20 green, 44 orange, and 30 blue markers. Which statement is true?.
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of markers: 20 + 44 + 30 = 94

p(green) = 20/94 = 0.213

p(orange) = 44/94 = 0.468

p(blue) = 30/94 = 0.319

Choose the correct answer by comparing your choices with the 3 probabilities above.

Suppose a team of doctors wanted to study the effect of different types of exercise on reducing body fat percentage in adult men
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

<em>A. The F statistic increases as the differences among the sample means for the exercise groups increase.</em>

<em>C. The F statistic has 3 degrees of freedom in the numerator and 35 degrees of freedom in the denominator.</em>

<em>F. The F statistic is 9.2242.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Observations                     Samples                             Total

40-49             10       11              9         9                        39

The degrees of freedom is given by

For numerator= k-1 = 4-1=3

For denominator= n-k= 39-4= 35

F statistic is given by

F= MS between/ MS within

=11.632991 / 1.261143 = 9.2242

Where

Mean Square Between = MS between = 11.632991

Mean Square Within = MS within = 1.261143

<u>Hence the correct choices are  A, C and F</u>

<em>A. The F statistic increases as the differences among the sample means for the exercise groups increase.</em>

<em>C. The F statistic has 3 degrees of freedom in the numerator and 35 degrees of freedom in the denominator.</em>

<em>F. The F statistic is 9.2242.</em>

<em></em>

Suppose we have

Mean Square Between = MS between = 18.632991

Mean Square Within = MS within = 1.261143

Then F statistic would be = 14.77468 > 9.2242

which tells that <em>The F statistic increases as the differences among the sample means for the exercise groups increase.</em>

Five more than three times a number is that number increased by 40. What is the number
rewona [7]
Let the number be n.

Then 3n+5 = n+40
Combining like terms, we get

         2n = 35, and so n = 35/7, or 17 1/2.
