Answer:

The length of the shorter piece = 3 ft

The length of the longer piece = 10 ft  

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question;

  • Total length of the string is 13 ft
  • Longer piece is 4ft longer than twice the shorter piece;

Therefore;

  • Assuming the shorter piece is x ft
  • Then, the longer piece will be (2x + 4) ft

Thus;

Longer piece + shorter piece = 13 ft

x ft + (2x + 4) ft = 13 ft

3x + 4 = 13

3x = 9

 x = 3 ft  and

2x + 4 = 10 ft

Therefore;

The length of the shorter piece = 3 ft

The length of the longer piece = 10 ft

I really need help with this question!
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

(s-6)/r

option D

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form a line is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Compare y=mx+b and y=cx+6, we see that m=c and c is the slope.

Now we are also given that (r,s) is on our line which means s=c(r)+6.

We need to solve this for c to put c in terms of r and s as desired.

s=cr+6

Subtract 6 on both sides:

s-6=cr

Divide both sides by r:

(s-6)/r=c

The slope in terms of r and s is:

(s-6)/r.

The difference between the mean of the sample and the mean of the population is A. 0.55

<h3>Calculations and Parameters:</h3>

Given the population data is:

0 3 3 1 3 2 2 2 5 4 3 3 3 0 1 2 0 2 3 3

The sample data is:

5 3 0 2 4

The mean of the population data is:
45/20= 2.25

The mean of the sample data is:

14/5= 2.8

Therefore, the difference between the mean of the sample and the population is:

2.8-2.25= 0.55
