Answer:

Option E - None of these answers is reasonable.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : Convert 17.42 m to customary units ?

Solution :

The customary units is defined as the measure length and distances in the customary system are inches, feet, yards, and miles.

The options belong to feet and inches.

We have to convert meter into inches, feet.

Meter into feet,

$1 \text{ feet} = 0.3048 \text{ meter}$

$1 \text{ meter} = \frac{1}{0.3048}\text{ feet}$

$17.42 \text{ meter} = \frac{17.42}{0.3048}\text{ feet}$

$17.42 \text{ meter} = \frac{174200}{3048}\text{ feet}$

$17.42 \text{ meter} =57 \frac{464}{3048}\text{ feet}$

$17.42 \text{ meter} =57 \frac{58}{381}\text{ feet}$

Now, Feet into inches

$1 \text{ feet} = 12\text{ inches}$

$\frac{58}{381} \text{ feet} = 12\times \frac{58}{381}\text{ inches}$

$\frac{58}{381} \text{ feet} =\frac{232}{381}\text{ inches}$

i.e. $17.42 \text{ meter} =57\text{ feet }\frac{232}{381}\text{ inches}$

or $17.42 \text{ meter} =57'\frac{232}{381}''$

None of these answers is reasonable.

Therefore, Option E is correct.

On a coordinate plane, a line is drawn from point A to point B. Point A is at (2, negative 3) and point B is at (negative 4, 9).

zimovet [89]

Answer: (0,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

If $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ are two point son a coordinate plane and (x,y) dividing it in a ratio of m: n.

Then , the coordinates of (x,y) is given by :-

$x=\dfrac{nx_1+mx_2}{m+n}$

$y=\dfrac{ny_1+my_2}{m+n}$

Given : On a coordinate plane, a line is drawn from point A to point B. Point A is at (2, - 3) and point B is at (- 4, 9).

Then , the x- and y- coordinates of point E, which partitions the directed line segment from A to B into a ratio of 1:2 :

$x=\dfrac{2(2)+1(-4)}{1+2}=0$

$y=\dfrac{2(-3)+1(9)}{1+2=1}$

Hence, the x- and y- coordinates of point E = (0,1)

Let a and b be any two integers. Show that the following statement is false: If 3|(a+b),then 3|(a−b).Hint. To show that the stat

Phoenix [80]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Let a and b are two integers.

We have to show that

if 3\a+b then 3\a-b is false.

In order to prove that given statement is false we prove this with the help of example

Suppose we have two integers a=2 and b=4

if 3\2+4

3\6=2

2-4=-2

But 3 does not divide -2.

Therefore, the given statement is false.

Hence, proved.

Suppose the class sizes in high schools in a major public school district are normally distributed with an unknown population me

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

1.703

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason we try to find t score is because the sample size is below 30, meaning the sample size is small

Hence:

Step 1

We find the degree of freedom

The Degrees of freedom = Number of samples - 1

The random number of samples = 28

= 28 - 1

= 27

Step 2

Using a t score table or t score calculator, we can obtain the t score value for a 90% confidence interval and degree of freedom of 27

90% confidence interval =

10% significance level = 0.10 for two tails or 0.1/2 = 0.05 for one tail

Hence: t90 = 1.703

The quotient below is shown without the decimal point. Use number sense to place the decimal point correctly.

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

35.8

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{340.1}{9.5}$ = 358

We know that our answer can never be greater than 358 since the dividend

is 340.1 and the divisor is 9.5;

Also,

Both values are to one decimal places and we can use this to solve the problem;

9 can divide 340 in about 37 place with a remainder of 7,

So, it is appropriate to make the solution 35.8
