A) Calculate an estimate for the mean height of the students. 129.3 cm

Mathematics
1 answer:
Sedbober [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

(a) Y = 129.3x (b) It is an estimate as it may not be a true reflection of a student's height

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Estimate of the mean height is the sum of the heights of all the students divided by the total number of students.

The question however needs more information for its estimation as 129.3cm is representative and may be the mean height but it was not stated.

However, assuming it is the mean height,

Let the total number of students be x

while Y is the sum of all individual student heights

Mathematically, mean = Y/x

Therefore 129.3 = Y/ x

implying that Y = 129.3x

(b) It is an estimate because computation of the mean gives an average which may not be an exact value. For example, the mean here is 129.3 whereas there will be many heights greater than that and some lesser than that and obviously, there may be no student with height of 129.3 hence it is an estimate.

The perimeter of a rectangle is 50 centimeters. If the width of the rectangle is 9 centimeters
nordsb [41]

Answer:

Length = 17 cm

Width = 8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length be x cm

Therefore, Width = (x - 9) cm

Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l +w)

50 = 2[x + (x - 9)]

50/2 = 2x - 9

25 = 2x - 9

25+ 9 = 2x

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17 cm

x - 9 = 17 - 9 = 8 cm

Therefore,

Length = 17 cm

Width = 8 cm

Thus, the dimensions of the rectangle are 17 cm and 8 cm.

ddd [48]

Answer:

George can feed 6 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of sandwiches = 4

Each person eats two-third of a sandwich.

Therefore, number of persons eating 4 sandwich is given as:

\textrm{Number of persons} =\frac{\textrm{Total sandwiches eaten}}{\textrm{Total sandwiches eaten by 1 person}}

Therefore,

\textrm{Number of persons} = \frac{4}{\frac{2}{3}}\\\\\textrm{Number of persons} =4\times \frac{3}{2}=6

Which equation describes the line that passes through the points (-4, 19) and (2, -1)
dangina [55]

Answer:

y=-5/2x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

find the slope by using y2-y1/x2-x1

-1-19/2-(-4)

simplify

-20/8

simplify

-5/2

use slope-intercept form, y=mx+b

since we know the slope, find b

plug in one of the ordered pairs into the equation

-1=(-5/2)(2)+b

simplify

-1= -10/2+b

simplify

-1=-5+b

add 5 to both sides

b=4

plug b into y=-5/2x+b

y=-5/2x+4
