The data were collected from a statistics class. The column head gives the variable, and each of the other rows represents a st

udent in the class. Explain why the variable Male, is categorical, even though its values are numbers. Often, it does not make sense, or is not even possible to add the values of a categorical variable. Does it make sense for Male? If so, what does the sum represent?

Answer:

Gender is a categorical variable. The sum gives the total number of students in class.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

The variable Male, is categorical, even though its values are numbers.

Categorical variable:

These variable are the non parametric variable.
They do not need values to express the data.
They only use number and numerical to express the data or represent the data.
There is no relation with true value of numerical.

Thus, gender is a categorical variable. Numbers are only used to represent the data.

Numbers are just a representation.

The sum of these represent the total male and female students in class. Thus, the sum gives the total number of students in class.

A truck weighing 150kN and travelling at 2m/sec impacts with a buffer

FrozenT [24]

The maximum compression of the spring is 0.276 m

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we calculate the spring constant of the spring, by using Hooke's law:

$F=kx$

where

F = 10 kN = 10,000 N is the force applied

x = 1.25 cm = 0.0125 m is the corresponding compression of the spring

k is the spring constant

Solving for k,

$k=\frac{F}{x}=\frac{10,000}{0.0125}=8\cdot 10^5 N/m$

When the truck impacts with the spring, all the kinetic energy of the truck is converted into elastic potential energy of the spring, so we can write

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}kx^2$ (1)

where

m is the mass of the truck

v = 2 m/s is the initial speed of the truck

$k=8\cdot 10^5 N/m$ is the spring constant

x is the compression of the spring

The mass of the truck can be found from its weight:

$m=\frac{W}{g}=\frac{150,000 N}{9.81 N/kg}=15,290 kg$

So now we can re-arrange eq.(1) to find the compression, x:

$x=\sqrt{\frac{mv^2}{k}}=\sqrt{\frac{(15,290)(2)^2}{8\cdot 10^5}}=0.276 m$

X + 2y = 5<br>3x + 5y = 14<br>Solve the system of equations.<br>(3.1)<br>(7.-1)<br>(2.3/2)

son4ous [18]

Answer:

(3,1) because x is 3 and y is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

x+2y=5

3x+5y=14

Multiply first equation by 3:

3x+6y=15

3x+5y=14

Subtract 3x:

1y=1

Therefore, y = 1

Plug it back into 1st equation:

x+2(1)=5

x+2=5

Therefore, x = 3

Judging from your answers, it looks like (3,1) because x is 3 and y is 1.

I hope this helped!

Without a calculator how would you solve this?

Answer:

the largest number that is less than (2+√3)^6 is 2701

Step-by-step explanation:

$\bigstar \ (2+\sqrt{3})^6= \\\\C{}^{0}_{6}2^{6}+C{}^{1}_{6}2^{5}\sqrt{3}^1+C{}^{2}_{6}2^{4}\sqrt{3}^2+C{}^{3}_{6}2^{3}\sqrt{3}^3+C{}^{4}_{6}2^{2}\sqrt{3}^4+C{}^{5}_{6}2^{1}\sqrt{3}^5+C{}^{6}_{6}\sqrt{3}^6$

$=64+192\sqrt{3}+720 +480\sqrt{3} +540+108\sqrt{3} +27\\=1351+780\sqrt{3}$

$\bigstar\ (2-\sqrt{3} )^6 =\\\\1351-780\sqrt{3}$

$\bigstar\ \bigstar\ (2+\sqrt{3} )^6+(2-\sqrt{3} )^6 =\\\\1351+780\sqrt{3}+1351-780\sqrt{3}$

$\Longrightarrow(2+\sqrt{3} )^6+(2-\sqrt{3} )^6 =2702$

$\Longrightarrow(2+\sqrt{3} )^6 =2702-(2-\sqrt{3} )^6$

$0 < \left( 2-\sqrt{3} \right) < 1 \Longrightarrow 0 < \left( 2-\sqrt{3} \right)^{6} < 1 \Longrightarrow-1 < \left( 2-\sqrt{3} \right)^{6} < 0$

$\Longrightarrow2702-1 < 2702-\left( 2-\sqrt{3} \right)^{6} < 2702+0$

$\Longrightarrow 2701 < \left( 2+\sqrt{3} \right)^{6} < 2702$
