Answer: B 8/5 hr

Step-by-step explanation:

One maid can clean the house in 2 hours. This means that the rate at which she cleans the house per hour is 1/2

Another maid can do the job in 8 hours. This means that the rate at which the other maid cleans the house per hour is 1/8

If they work together, they would work simultaneously and their individual rates are additive. This means that their combined working rate would be

1/2 + 1/8 = 5/8

Assuming it takes t hours for both of them to clean the room working together, the working rate per hour would be 1/t. Therefore,

5/8 = 1/t

t = 8/5 hour

Answer:

Option B, 8/5 hr

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 + 1/8

1*4 / 2*4 + 1/8

4/8 + 1/8

5/8 = 1/t

5t / 5 = 8 / 5

t = 8/5

Answer:  Option B, 8/5 hr

Consider a nine -year moving average used to smooth a time series that was first recorded in 1961. a. Which year serves as the f
kirill [66]

Answer:

  a.  1965

  b.  8 years

Step-by-step explanation:

For answers to questions like these it can work to consider the smallest possible dataset.

<h3>Dataset</h3>

For our purpose, consider the 9 years/values to be averaged to be ...

  1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 ,9

<h3>Observations</h3>

a. The center value of the data set is 5. Its number is 5-1=4 more than the first one.

The first centered value is from the year 1961 +4 = 1965.

b. The 4 values at the beginning, and the 4 values at the end do not have a corresponding "average" value. That is, 4+4 = 8 values in the series are lost with respect to the number of average values.

8 years of values are lost.

How can you write the equation for a linear function if you know only two ordered pairs for the function?
Vinvika [58]
1. m
2. One set of ordered pairs
3. b

To show why this is, I’m going to explain how to write the equation for a linear function with two random sets of ordered pairs - (1,0) and (5, 8).

First, find the slope. The formula for slope is m = (y2 - y1)/(x2-x1) where m is the slope and (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are two sets of points.

This is why #1 is m. M is the letter used when finding slope.

To find m, I plug in the two sets of ordered pairs.

m = (8-0)/(5-1)
m = 8/4
m = 2

An equation for a line (linear function) is written in something called slope-intercept form. It looks like y = mx + b. m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (number y equals when x = 0). If m = 3 and b = 1, the equation would be y = 3x + 1.

Here, you have just solved for m and know it equals 2. Plug that value in for m.

y = 2x + b

To solve for b, plug one ordered pair in for x and y. I will use (1,0)

0 = 2(1) + b
0 = 2 + b
-2 = b

Now that you know b = -2, plug that in for b.
y = 2x - 2. Now you have the equation fo the line.
