Answer: D.) This is an example of inductive reasoning because a general conclusion is reached based on a specific example,

Step-by-step explanation: Inductive reasoning simply refers to making conclusion about a specific subject or topic from patterns or insights derived from related examples. In the scenario above, the conclusion reached encompasses the overall full time 4 years college student. However, this conclusion was inferred based on a specific example comprising of only a randomized sample of 1200 full time 4 years college students in 100 campuses. random. The example failed to incorporate every student, Hence, the conclusion is induced as the choice of a sample of students may not convey the choice or decision of all.

Deductive reasoning meanwhile follows that a generally established fact is used to make conclusion about a specific example.

Answer:

The geometric mean of the measures of the line segments AD and DC is 60/13

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometric mean: BD² = AD×DC

BD = √(AD×DC)

hypotenuse/leg = leg/part

ΔADB: AC/12 = 12/AD

AC×AD = 12×12 = 144

AD = 144/AC

ΔBDC: AC/5 = 5/DC

AC×DC = 5×5 = 25

DC = 25/AC

BD = √[(144/AC)(25/AC)]

BD = (12×5)/AC

BD= 60/AC

Apply Pythagoras theorem in ΔABC

AC² = 12² + 5²

AC² = 144+ 25 = 169

AC = √169 = 13

BD = 60/13

The geometric mean of the measures of the line segments AD and DC is BD = 60/13

some friends went to a local movie theater and bought four large buckets of popcorn and six boxes of candy.The total for the sna

WARRIOR [948]

The total of 2 buckets of popcorn and 3 boxes of candy would be $23.25

To answer this question you need to form a set of simultaneous equations and solve them. We can do this by saying that a bucket of popcorn = P, and a box of candy = C. Then we can say:

4P + 6C = 46.50

P + C = 9.75

There are then two possible ways to solve; you can either say that C = 9.75 - P using the second equation and then substitute it into the first, or you can multiply the second equation by either 4 or 6 to cancel out P or C.

I’m going to multiply the second equation by 4:

4P + 4C = 39

Now we can subtract this for, the first equation:

4P + 6C = 46.50

4P + 4C = 39

2C = 7.50

C = 3.75

Now we can substitute this value of C into one of the equations to find P:

P + C = 9.75

P + 3.75 = 9.75

P = 6

And now to answer the question, you just multiply P by 2 and C by 3 and add them together, which gives you $23.25

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)

9. Subtract: 5-3 1/3

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer: 1 and 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Imagine 3 1/3 as if it’s in parenthesis as (3 + 1/3)

Subtract three from five.

You should get two.

Then you subtract the last 1/3 from that two.

There are three thirds in one digit.

Therefore, two thirds are left over, plus that last whole digit.

You are left with one and one third.
