Answer:

(A) The M virus is larger than the P virus in diameter

(B) Diameter of virus M is 25 times the diameter of virus P

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the values given are in the so called "scientific notation", and which involves in this case negative exponents for the multiplier 10.

So we can write these values in decimal form for easier comparison of which one is he largest one:

Diameter of M virus = 5\,*\,10^{-7}\,m = 0.0000005\,\,m

Diameter of P virus = 2\,*\,10^{-8}\,m = 0.00000002\,\,m

Which clearly shows that virus M is larger than virus P in diameter

The quotient between diameters will give us the answer to how many times larger virus' M diameter is:

\frac{M}{P} =\frac{0.0000005}{0.00000002} \\\frac{M}{P} =25

Three cars are driving on a racetrack. The mean speed of the three cars is 100 miles per hour. Car X drives 101 miles per hour a
evablogger [386]

Answer:

Less than 100. Z=83

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean is the average found by adding the sum of the data points and dividing by the number of them. Here there are 3 cars whose speeds are 101, 116, and Z or unknown. The mean of them is 100. Solve for Z.

100 =(101+116+Z)/3

300=217+Z

83=Z

Verdich [7]

Answer:

The correct answer to the question: In this experiment, distance from the highway is a:___, would be: lurking variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lurking variables, also known as confounding variables, are factors, or elements that may be part of a relationship between two variables being measured, but that were not considered within the original design of the study, and which can alter the conclusions and results to which a study can point. In this case, the researchers wished to compare the effectiveness of a fertilizer on the process of corn cultivation. The plots selected were each given one type of fertilizer at random and the results were to be measured by how much corn was produced by the plot of land. Although the two variables originally measured were fertilizer vs. corn production, the design did not consider that there would be an additional factor that could play a role. However, in the end, this new, or lurking, variable, confounded the design because now another factor had to be calculated; that those plots of land closer to the highway experienced higher rates of corn growth than those further away.
