Answer:

x=-32

Step-by-step explanation:

expand -2(x+10): -2x-20

x-2x -20=12

add similar elements: x-2x=-x

x-20=12

add 20 to both sides

-x-20+20=12+20

simplify

-x=32

divide both sides by -1

x=-32

Variance is: Multiple Choice the average squared deviations about the mean of a distribution of values. an empirically testable

DENIUS [597]

Multiple choice answers are clearly defined as below for clarity:

A. the average squared deviations about the mean of a distribution of values.

B. an empirically testable statement that is an unproven supposition developed in order to explain certain phenomena.

C. the error made by rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true.

D. a statement that asserts the status quo; that is, any change from what has been thought to be true is due to random sampling order.

E. a statement that is the opposite of the null hypothesis

Answer:

A. The average squared deviations about the mean of a distribution of values.

Explanation:

A. the average squared deviations about the mean of a distribution of values. Correct

Standard deviation is how data is distributed around the mean. It is also the square root of the Variance. Therefore, the variance is the square of the standard deviation which is distributed around the mean.

B. an empirically testable statement that is an unproven supposition developed in order to explain certain phenomena. Incorrect

This is false as this is rather the definition for hypothesis.

C. the error made by rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true. Incorrect

This is false as this is the definition for the probability of committing a type I error

D. a statement that asserts the status quo; that is, any change from what has been thought to be true is due to random sampling order. Incorrect

This is false as this defines what a null hypothesis is.

E. a statement that is the opposite of the null hypothesis. Incorrect

The opposite of the null hypothesis is alternative hypothesis.

The height 'h' (in feet) of a ball in a baseball game can be modeled by h = -16t² + 28t + 8 , where 't' is the time (in seconds)

lidiya [134]

Answer:

a) No. t < 0 is not part of the useful domain of the function

b) 2.0 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

a) A graph of the function is shown below. It shows t-intercepts at t=-0.25 and t=2.0. We presume that t is measured forward from some event such as the ball being thrown or hit. The model's predicted ball location has no meaning prior to that event, when values of t are negative.

b) It is convenient to use a graphing calculator to find the t-intercepts. Or, the equation can be solved for h=0 any of several ways algebraically. One is by factoring.

h = 0 = -16t² +28t +8 . . . . . . . . . . . . the ball hits the ground when h = 0

0 = -4(4t² -7t -2) = -4(4t +1)(t -2)

This has t-intercepts where the factors are zero, at t=-1/4 and t=2.

The ball will hit the ground after 2 seconds.
