Answer:

There are approximately 171 families in the sample.

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentile meaning:

When a value V is said to be in the xth percentile of a set, x% of the values in the set are lower than V and (100-x)% of the values in the set are higher than V.

Twenty-four of the families in the sample turned on the television for 23 hours or less for the week. The 14th percentile of the data is 23 hours.

This means that 24 is 14% of the total number of families.

Approximately how many families are in the sample?

Using a rule of three.

24 - 0.14

x - 1

0.14x = 24

x = 24/0.14

x = 171.4

Rounding to the nearest integer

There are approximately 171 families in the sample.

About 2,000,000 people visited the aquarium last year. If this number were rounded to the nearest million, what was the greatest
notsponge [240]
Okay, so there's a number rounded to the nearest million, in this case 2 million. So this tells me that the number of visitors is between 1,500,000 and 2,499,999. The reason why 1,499,999 doesn't count is because the hundred thousands digit is not 5 or above, so it doesn't count. It would round down to 1 million, not 2 million. The reason why 2,500,000 doesn't count, is because the hundred thousands digit is 5, so that rounds to 3 million, not 2 million. The greatest number of visitors that visited the aquarium has to be 2,499,999, because that's one digit away from 2.5 million, and the hundred thousands digit is a 4, not 5. The answer is 2,499,999

For what values of k does kx^(2)-3x+2=0 have two equal real roots?
yaroslaw [1]

Tienes que usar la fórmula cuadrática:


(-b +/- √(b^2-4ac))/2a

Primero identificas los valores de a,b y c en kx^2-3x+2=0


K=a, b=-3, c=2


Luego sustituis en la fórmula y te queda:


(3+/-√(9-8k))/2k


Para que las raíces Sena reales se tienen que cumplir que 9-8k>=0

Brut [27]
We have to find 2 areas and to subtract A2 from A1:
A1 = ( r² · π · 45° ) / 360° = ( 6² · 3.14 · 45° ) / 360° = 14.13 ft²
A2 = ( 3² · π · 45° ) / 360° = 3.53 ft²
A ( BCIH ) = 14.13 - 3.53 = 10.6 ft² ≈ 11 ft²
Answer: The area of the glass in the region BCIH is 11 ft² ( rounded to the nearest square foot ).
