You originally draw a design for an art contest on a 2 in. x 5 in. card. The second phase of the contest requires the drawing to

be transferred to an 8.5 in x 11 in. standard sheet of paper and utilize as much of the space on the paper as possible. You determine that the largest size one of the dimensions of your drawing can be is 10.5 in. What is the length of the other dimension if the two drawings are similar? Type your exact answer in the blank without the units, and round to the nearest tenths.

<span><u><em>The correct answer is: </em></u>
4.2 inches.

<u><em>Explanation</em></u><span><u><em>: </em></u>
We use the size of the largest dimension of the reproduction to find the scale factor. The largest dimension of the original drawing was 5 inches.
The largest dimension of the reproduction is 11 inches.

<u>To find the scale factor, divide: </u>
</span></span>\frac{11}{5}<span><span>=2.1.

Since the scale factor is 2.1, to find the smallest dimension of the reproduction we <u>multiply the original by 2.1</u>:
 2*2.1=4.2 inches.</span></span>

Complete the statement by filling in the blanks: When constructing a confidence interval, if the level of confidence increases,
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2} SE_{\hat p}

And for this case the margin of error would be:

ME= z_{\alpha/2} SE_{\hat p}

If the level of confidence increase we can conclude that the value of z_{\alpha/2} would increase and the the confidence interval would be wider, since the margin of error increase.

c. Increase; wider

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

Solution to the problem

Let's assume that we have a parameter of interest p and we want to estimate the value of p with \hat p and in general the confidence interval if the distribution of p is normal is given by:

\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2} SE_{\hat p}

And for this case the margin of error would be:

ME= z_{\alpha/2} SE_{\hat p}

If the level of confidence increase we can conclude that the value of z_{\alpha/2} would increase and the the confidence interval would be wider, since the margin of error increase.

c. Increase; wider

Maggie is standing on a platform that is 8 feet above the ground. She throws a ball in the air that hits the ground after 2 seco
Paha777 [63]

The equation that offers the best approximation to this result is: h = -16\cdot t^{2}+28\cdot t + 8. (Choice D)

<h3>How to find the free fall formula for a given scenario</h3>

An object experiments a free fall when it is solely accelerated by gravity on the assumption of an <em>uniform</em> acceleration. The formula is described below:

h =h_{o} + v_{o}\cdot t + \frac{1}{2}\cdot g\cdot t^{2} (1)

Where:

  • h_{o} - Initial height, in feet.
  • v_{o} - Initial speed, in feet per second.
  • t - Time, in seconds.
  • g - Gravitational acceleration, in feet per square second.

If we know that t = 2\,s, h_{o} = 8\,ft, h = 0\,ft, g = -32.174\,\frac{ft}{s^{2}}, then the height formula is:

0 = 8 +2\cdot v_{o} - \frac{1}{2}\cdot (32.174)\cdot (2)^{2}

0 = -56.348+2\cdot v_{o}

v_{o} = 28.174\,\frac{ft}{s}

The equation that offers the best approximation to this result is: h = -16\cdot t^{2}+28\cdot t + 8. (Choice D)

Which of the following is the equation of a line that has a slope of -2 and passes through the
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

B. y = -2x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

So the slope is the number that comes before the x, and if the slope is -2, that means the number before is -2, and it is.

And to know if it goes through (1, 6), put those numbers into the equation and see if they match up (x is the y-intercept)

6 = -2(1) + x

6 = -2 + x

x = 8

The one with both of these is B, which means B is the answer

For this, you would’ve needed a calculator:

Because this is a right triangle, you can apply SOH CAH TOA (sin, cosin, and tangent)

You have the hypotenuse, so now you need to figure out where the angle is in relation to x and y (one at a time though).

45 degrees is opposite from x, so you would use sin (SOH) because you have the opposite and hypotenuse. This looks like:

sin(45) = opposite/6(sqrt)2

So now you want to solve for the opposite, so do 6(sqrt)2 multiplied by sin(45). Which gets you 6.

For y, you want to find adjacent so use cosin. To solve, it’s going to look like 6(sqrt)2 • cos(45) which gets you 6.
