Answer:

The ball will bounce back to 2.5 feet if it is dropped from a height of 3 3/4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of drop = 3 3/4 feet

$\texttt{Height of drop = }3\frac{3}{4}feet=\frac{3\times 4+3}{4}=\frac{15}{4}feet$

According to NBA standards, a basketball should bounce back 2/3 the distance from which it is dropped.

So the ball will bounce back to 2/3 of dropping height,

Here

$h=\frac{15}{4}feet\\\\\texttt{Height to bounce backed = }\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{15}{4}=\frac{30}{12}\\\\\texttt{Height to bounce backed = }\frac{5}{2}=2.5feet$

The ball will bounce back to 2.5 feet if it is dropped from a height of 3 3/4 feet

3×4=12
2×4=8

8/12

4×3=12
3×3=9

3 9/12

3 9/12-8/12= 2 11/12

If I am not wrong then the answer is 2 11/12

A study is performed in a large southern town to determine whether the average weekly grocery bill per four-person family in the

OLga [1]

Answer:

The average weekly grocery bill per four-person family in the town is significantly different from the national average.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Population mean, μ = $100

Sample mean, $\bar{x}$ = $103.23

Sample size, n = 25

Alpha, α = 0.05

Sample standard deviation, s = $8.82

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

$H_{0}: \mu = 100\text{ dollars}\\H_A: \mu \neq 100\text{ dollars}$

We use Two-tailed t test to perform this hypothesis.

Formula:

$t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} }$

Putting all the values, we have

$t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{103.23- 100}{\frac{8.82}{\sqrt{25}} } = 1.831$

Now,

$t_{critical} \text{ at 0.05 level of significance, 24 degree of freedom } = \pm 2.063$

Since,

$t_{stat} < t_{critical}$

We accept the null hypothesis.

We accept the null hypothesis and determine that the average weekly grocery bill per four-person family in the town is significantly same to the national average.

If line TW is parallel to line SX , m ∠ 1 = 59°, and m ∠ 6 = 72°, what is m ∠ 8?

choli [55]

Angle 1 and Angle 8 are Alternate Exterior Angles. Therefore, by the Alternate Exterior Angle Theorem, the measure of angle 8 is also 59 degrees. Hope this helped!
