Answer:

4 m/s downwards

Step-by-step explanation:

Velocity is given by dividing the distance by time taken to cover the diatance. Therefore, expressed as v=d/t

The distance is given as 24 m but the time given covers only half the distance. Therefore, the distance is 0.5*21=12 m

Time taken is given as 3 s

Substituting 12 m for d and 3 s for t then

V=12/3= 4 m/s

Velocity must have direction component hence velocity is 4 m/s downwards

Write a linear equation with a slope of 14 and y-intercept -12.
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

y=14x-12

Step-by-step explanation:

in the standard format y=mx+b, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, so this equation would be y=14x-12 since the slope is 14 and the y-intercept is -12.

The standard IQ test has a mean of 97 and a standard deviation of 17. We want to be
densk [106]

Let's call our estimate x. It will be the average of n IQ scores. Our average won't usually exactly equal the mean 97.  But if we repeated averages over different sets of tests, the mean of our estimate the average would be the same as the mean of a single test,

μ = 97

Variances add, so the standard deviations add in quadrature, like the Pythagorean Theorem in n dimensions.  This means the standard deviation of the average x is

σ = 17/√n

We want to be 95% certain

97 - 5 ≤ x ≤ 97 + 5

By the 68-95-99.7 rule, 95% certain means within two standard deviations. That means we're 95% sure that

μ - 2σ ≤ x ≤ μ + 2σ

Comparing to what we want, that's means we have to solve

2σ = 5

2 (17/√n) = 5

√n = 2 (17/5)

n = (34/5)² = 46.24

We better round up.

Answer: We need a sample size of 47 to be 95% certain of being within 5 points of the mean

Find the mean and mode for this set of data.<br>5, 6, 8, 3, 5, 7, 4, 11, 5, 7​
dangina [55]

Answer:the mean is 6.1 the mode is 5 and 7.

Step-by-step explanation: the mean is 6.1 because the number add up to 61 and there are 10 numbers 61/10=6.1

The mode is 5 and 7 because they occur most frequently

Express , twelve times a number minus six is less than or equal to
xenn [34]

Answer:

12x - 6 ≤ - 18

Step-by-step explanation:

We will call "a number" x so

Twelve times a number would be:

12x

Then minus 6

12x - 6

Now we add the less than or equal to sign.

12x - 6 ≤

This is equal to negative eighteen, so:

12x - 6 ≤ - 18

As a bonus we can also solve for x.

12x - 6 = - 18    Add 6 to each side.

12x - 6 + 6 = -18 + 6

12x = -18 + 6

12x = -12  Divide each side by 12

12x/12 = -12/12

x = -12/12

x = -1

So we can say when x ≤ -1 Then 12x - 6 ≤ -18
