As part of his work for NASA, Dr. Murdock was asked to find out what percentage of people in the continental united States saw H

aley's Comet when it was last visible. He randomly selected three major cities, Seattle, Cleveland, and Boston, and polled 1000 randomly selected people from these cities. He finds that fewer than 5% of the people he interviewed saw the comet, so he concludes that fewer than 5% of people in the continental United States saw the comet.
Required:
Discuss whether Murdock is using a generalization or an analogy, name the sample and the target, and discuss whether there are any fallacies present in the argument (if so, why; if not, why not?).

Answer:

Please, in the Explanation section you will find the explanation of the answer.

Explanation:

The exercise shows the continental United States and 3 cities used in the study carried out by Murdock. It can be said that the sample taken is part of the objective. There are several inconsistencies in Murdock's argument: the first has to do with the fact that the sample that was taken cannot represent the entire American population. A much larger, scientifically calculated sample would be required. The second is that their study did not take into account small cities or people living in the interior of the United States.

How are scientists able to predict when and where the next eclipse will occur?
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

When the Earth and sun are perfectly lined up, then it will happen. They can tell when it's going to happen.

Explanation:

This is why it only happens in some places. Some days it's not sunny out, so it's not going to happen.

A fixed electric space heater wired by a cable with an ampacity of 30 A should draw a maximum current of A. 30 A. B. 24 A. C. 15
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer: The correct answer is option (A).

Explanation

Ampacity is defined as the maximum amount of the current carried by the conductor continuously without exceeding its temperature rating.

The ampacity of the wire of the heater is 30 A .And this means that wire is capable of conducting current of maximum amount of 30 Ampere through it without exceeding its temperature rating.

Hence, the correct answer is option is (A).

The inductor in a radio receiver carries a current of amplitude 200 mA when a voltage of amplitude 2.4 V is across it at a frequ
zzz [600]

Answer:

The value of the inductance is 1.364 mH.

Explanation:

Given;

amplitude current, I₀ = 200 mA = 0.2 A

amplitude voltage, V₀ = 2.4 V

frequency of the wave, f = 1400 Hz

The inductive reactance is calculated;

X_l = \frac{V_o}{I_o} \\\\X_l = \frac{2.4}{0.2} \\\\X_l =12 \ ohms

The inductive reactance is calculated as;

X_l = \omega L\\\\X_l = 2\pi fL\\\\L = \frac{X_l}{2 \pi f}

where;

L is the inductance

L = \frac{12}{2 \pi \times \ 1400} \\\\L = 1.364 \times \ 10^{-3} \ H\\\\L = 1.364 \ mH

Therefore, the value of the inductance is 1.364 mH.
