<h2>Height of tree is 7.5 feet</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t be the height of pole.

Given that the tree is 5 feet shorter than a pole.

Height of pole = t + 15

Also given that the pole is 3 times as tall as the tree.

Height of pole = 3t

So we have

              t + 15 = 3t

                 2t = 15

                   t = 7.5 feet

Height of tree = 7.5 feet

Answer:

41.79%

Step-by-step explanation:

To be on the swim team, we look at the right most (total) number int he table of "on the swim team" row. That is 28.

The grand total is the bottom-rightmost. That is 67.

Hence, probability of being on swim team is 28/67 = 41.79%

A researcher wants to see if birds that build larger nests lay larger eggs. He selects two random samples of nests: one of small
True [87]

Answer:

95% confidence interval for the difference between the average mass of eggs in small and large nest is between a lower limit of 0.81 and an upper limit of 2.39.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval is given by mean +/- margin of error (E)

Eggs from small nest

Sample size (n1) = 60

Mean = 37.2

Sample variance = 24.7

Eggs from large nest

Sample size (n2) = 159

Mean = 35.6

Sample variance = 39

Pooled variance = [(60-1)24.7 + (159-1)39] ÷ (60+159-2) = 7619.3 ÷ 217 = 35.11

Standard deviation = sqrt(pooled variance) = sqrt(35.11) = 5.93

Difference in mean = 37.2 - 35.6 = 1.6

Degree of freedom = n1+n2 - 2 = 60+159-2 = 217

Confidence level = 95%

Critical value (t) corresponding to 217 degrees of freedom and 95% confidence level is 1.97132

E = t×sd/√(n1+n2) = 1.97132×5.93/√219 = 0.79

Lower limit = mean - E = 1.6 - 0.79 = 0.81

Upper limit = mean + E = 1.6 + 0.79 = 2.39

95% confidence interval for the difference in average mass is (0.81, 2.39)

Answer:

The COP is 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First we must find the slopes.

12.50/25 = 0.5

17.50/35 = 0.5

The COP is 0.5

Solve for w, where w is a real number.
Ber [7]

Answer:

w= 9

Step-by-step explanation:

\sqrt{ - 4w + 61}  = w - 4

Square both sides:

-4w +61= (w -4)²

\boxed{(a - b)^{2}  = a^2 -2ab + b^2 }

Expand:

-4w +61= w² -2(w)(4) +4²

-4w +61= w² -8w +16

Simplify:

w² -8w +16 +4w -61= 0

w² -4w -45= 0

Factorize:

(w -9)(w +5)= 0

w -9= 0 or w +5= 0

w= 9 or w= -5 (reject)

Note:

-5 is rejected since we are only taking the positive value of the square root here. If the negative square root is taken into consideration, then w= -5 would give us -9 on both sides of the equation.

<u>Why </u><u>do </u><u>we </u><u>use </u><u>negative </u><u>square </u><u>root?</u>

When solving an equation such as x²= 4,

we have to consider than squaring any number removes the negative sign i.e., the result of a squared number is always positive.

In the case of x²= 4, x can be 2 or -2. Thus, whenever we introduce a square root, a '±' must be used.

However, back to our question, we did not introduce the square root so we should not consider the negative square root value.
