Answer:

$\frac{1}{6}=0.16$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : There are six balls in bag

Basketballs=2

Playground balls =3

Soccer ball =1

To Find : the probability that if you pick one of the balls without looking, it will be a soccer ball

Solution :

Total no. of balls = 6

No. of soccer balls = 1

Probability = favorable outcomes / total outcomes

Since total outcomes = total no. of balls =6

And favorable outcome = no. of soccer balls = 1

Thus , Probability of getting soccer ball = $\frac{1}{6}$

Hence the probability that if you pick one of the balls without looking, it will be a soccer ball:

$\frac{1}{6}=0.16$

A golf player is trying to make a hole-in-one on the miniature golf green shown.

The path of the ball is an illustration of absolute equation.

The equation of the path is: $y =- \frac{12}7|x- 4.8| + 6.4$

The given parameters are:

$(h,k) = (4.8,6.4)$ --- the vertex (i.e. the point where the ball hits the wall)

$(x_1,y_1) = (2,1.6)$

$(x_2,y_2) = (7.6,1.6)$

An absolute function is represented as:

$y = a |x - h| + k$

Substitute $(h,k) = (4.8,6.4)$

$y = a |x - 4.8| + 6.4$

Substitute $(x_1,y_1) = (2,1.6)$ for x and y

$1.6 = a|2 - 4.8| + 6.4$

$1.6 = a|- 2.8| + 6.4$

Remove absolute bracket

$1.6 = 2.8a + 6.4$

Collect like terms

$2.8a = -6.4+1.6$

$2.8a =- 4.8$

Solve for a

$a =-\frac{4.8}{2.8}$

Simplify

$a =-\frac{12}{7}$

Substitute $a =-\frac{12}{7}$ in $y = a |x - 4.8| + 6.4$

$y =- \frac{12}7|x- 4.8| + 6.4$

Hence, the equation of the path is: $y =- \frac{12}7|x- 4.8| + 6.4$

See attachment for graph that models the path

Find the vertex and length of the latus rectum for the parabola. y=1/6(x-8)^2+6

Ivan

Step-by-step explanation:

If the parabola has the form

$y = a(x - h)^2 + k$ (vertex form)

then its vertex is located at the point (h, k). Therefore, the vertex of the parabola

$y = \dfrac{1}{6}(x - 8)^2 + 6$

is located at the point (8, 6).

To find the length of the parabola's latus rectum, we need to find its focal length <em>f</em>. Luckily, since our equation is in vertex form, we can easily find from the focus (or focal point) coordinate, which is

$\text{focus} = (h, k +\frac{1}{4a})$

where $\frac{1}{4a}$ is called the focal length or distance of the focus from the vertex. So from our equation, we can see that the focal length <em>f</em> is

$f = \dfrac{1}{4(\frac{1}{6})} = \dfrac{3}{2}$

By definition, the length of the latus rectum is four times the focal length so therefore, its value is

$\text{latus rectum} = 4\left(\dfrac{3}{2}\right) = 6$

Janet researcher compares the math placement scores of college applicants who have, or have not taken a special college preparat

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Independent Variable (IV): Special college preparation program

How will you describe the IV: Independent variable or known as manipulated variable is a variable where the researcher purposely manipulate the variable to see how it affect the results of the experiment.

Dependent variables (DV): Math placement scores of college applicants

How will you measure the DV: DV can be measured by recording the math placement scores of each applicants who have or have not taken the special college preparation program.

Explanation: In this case, the researcher wants to see how taking special college preparation program (IV) can affect the math placement scores of the applicants (DV). Explanation: In this case, the researcher wants to see how taking special college preparation program (IV) can affect the math placement scores of the applicants (DV).

Hypothesis:

If the applicants take the special college preparation program, the applicants will have higher math placement scores compared to the one who have do not take the program.
