Answer:

1. Nominal

2. Interval

3. Interval

4. Nominal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nominal scales are used when the variable we're interested in has NO quantitative value.

Therefore, the college you are enrolled in and your hometown are examples of nominal data.

Interval scales are used when the variable we are interested in has quantitative value and the values have an order and the difference between each value is the same.

For the case of number of students, we know, for example, that 20 students < 21 students, and the difference between 20 and 21 is the same as the one between 21 and 22. The same applies for the age of your classmates.

Therefore, the age of your classmates and the number of students in a statistics course is an interval data.

A triangular pane of glass has a height of 30 inches and an area of 270 square inches. what is the length of the base pane

Tems11 [23]

The equation for the area of a triangle is A= b*h /2. So, plug in your known variables, and you get 270in^2= b*30 /2. First you multiply by 2 to cancel out the division for 2, which gets you 540= b* 30. To get "b" by itself, divide both sides by 30, giving you <u>18=b</u>.

To check this, plug in your new known variable, as 270= 18* 30 /2. This will equal as 270=270, confirming 18in as the correct measurement.

Factor completely x3 + 8x2 − 3x − 24.

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^3+8x^2-3x-24\\\\=(x^2)(x)+(x^2)(8)+(-3)(x)+(-3)(8)\qquad\text{distribute}\\\\=x^2(x+8)-3(x+8)\\\\=(x+8)(x^2-3)\qquad\text{use}\ a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)\\\\=(x+8)(x^2-(\sqrt3)^2)\\\\=(x+8)(x-\sqrt3)(x+\sqrt3)$
