Answer:

5 km

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the distances walked by Maria;

3 km west and 4 km south

We are required to determine the displacement from her starting point;

We are going to use Pythagoras's theorem;

a² + b² = c²

Taking, the distances towards south and towards west as the legs of the triangle;

Then, c² = 3² + 4²

= 25

c = √25

= 5 km

Therefore, the displacement from the starting point is 5 km

patriot [66]

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

6.) (5)/6 ≤ 1 (Yes)

7.) 1.4(11) > 16

15.4 > 16 (No)

8.) 11.1 + 9.8 ≥ 21.01

20.9 ≥ 21.01 (No)

9.) 2.5 < (90)/30

2.5 < 3 (Yes)

10.) 1/2 > 3(1/6)

1/2 > 1/2 (No)

11.) 2.16 ≥ 3(0.6) - 0.5

2.16 ≥ 1.8 - 0.5

2.16 ≥ 1.3 (Yes)

12.) x < 2 (x is less than 2.)

13.) x ≥ -1 (x is greater than or equal to -1.)

Answer:

The simple solutions are:

Right 6: (-2+6,-3) = (4,3)

Left 6: (-2-6,-3) = (-8,-3)

Up 6: (-2,-3+6) = (-2, 3)

Down 6: (-2,-3-6) = (-2,-9)

Those are for horizontal or vertical

line segments.

Suppose that six individuals are interested in taking part in a study relating BMI to a number of health outcomes. The following

posledela

Answer:

a) Mean = 27.65

Median = 27.645

b) Relative Frequency = 33.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following data set:

25.78, 21.06, 36.54, 29.51, 18.96, 34.05

a) Mean and Median

$Mean = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}$

$Mean =\displaystyle\frac{165.9}{6} = 27.65$

$Median:\\\text{If n is odd, then}\\\\Median = \displaystyle\frac{n+1}{2}th ~term \\\\\text{If n is even, then}\\\\Median = \displaystyle\frac{\frac{n}{2}th~term + (\frac{n}{2}+1)th~term}{2}$

Sorted data: 18.96, 21.06, 25.78, 29.51, 34.05, 36.54

$\text{Median} = \displaystyle\frac{25.78 +29.51}{2} = 27.645$

b) BMI above 30 is considered obese

Frequency of obese in the given sample = 2

Relative Frequency =

$\displaystyle\frac{\text{Frequency of obese}}{\text{Total number}} = \frac{2}{6} = 0.3333 = 33.33\%$
