Jullian measures the distance he drives to work each day using the odometer on his car, which measures distance in miles, accura

te to the nearest tenth of a mile. Using that measurement, he claims that the exact distance he drives to work is 11.7 miles. Use complete sentences to explain why jullian is incorrect

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation: Jullian's claim that the distance she drives to work is exactly 11.7miles is incorrect because, in other to record or get the exact result of a certain calculation such as Jullian's Distance, the value of the distance obtained will not be approximated or rounded. In this scenario, Distance was to the nearest tenth of a mile, thereby altering the true outcome of the calculation.

The word exact means that what is stated is very precise and does not fall below or above in any respect. However, a number whose accuracy is to the nearest tenth of a mile, violates this assertion.

2. Maria is monitoring the temperature of
stiks02 [169]

Here, we are required to determine after how many minutes will the two substances be at the same temperature.

The equation of when the two substances will be at the same temperature and the solution are as follows;

(a) The equation is 96.2 + 1.5(x) = 98.5 + 0.8(x).

(b) The solution is, x = 3.285minutes.

For substance A which is currently at 96.2° and rising at 1.5° each minute; It's temperature after x minutes is given as;

  • T(a) = 96.2 + 1.5(x)

For substance B which is currently at 98.5° and rising at 0.8° each minute; It's temperature after x minutes is given as;

  • T(b) = 98.5 + 0.8(x)

(a) For the two substances to be at the same temperature; T(a) must be equal to T(b).

  • T(a) = T(b)

The equation is therefore;.

96.2 + 1.5(x) = 98.5 + 0.8(x)

(b) To determine the solution;

1.5x - 0.8x = 98.5 - 96.2

0.7x = 2.3

x = 2.3/0.7

x = 3.285minutes.

A physical therapist wants to determine the difference in the proportion of men and women who participate in regular sustained p
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Using the z-distribution and the formula for the margin of error, it is found that:

a) A sample size of 54 is needed.

b) A sample size of 752 is needed.

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of \alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which z is the z-score that has a p-value of \frac{1+\alpha}{2}.

The margin of error is of:

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

90% confidence level, hence\alpha = 0.9, z is the value of Z that has a p-value of \frac{1+0.9}{2} = 0.95, so z = 1.645.

Item a:

The estimate is \pi = 0.213 - 0.195 = 0.018.

The sample size is <u>n for which M = 0.03</u>, hence:

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

0.03 = 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.018(0.982)}{n}}

0.03\sqrt{n} = 1.645\sqrt{0.018(0.982)}

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.645\sqrt{0.018(0.982)}}{0.03}

(\sqrt{n})^2 = \left(\frac{1.645\sqrt{0.018(0.982)}}{0.03}\right)^2

n = 53.1

Rounding up, a sample size of 54 is needed.

Item b:

No prior estimate, hence \pi = 0.05

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

0.03 = 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.5(0.5)}{n}}

0.03\sqrt{n} = 1.645\sqrt{0.5(0.5)}

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.645\sqrt{0.5(0.5)}}{0.03}

(\sqrt{n})^2 = \left(\frac{1.645\sqrt{0.5(0.5)}}{0.03}\right)^2

n = 751.7

Rounding up, a sample of 752 should be taken.

The sum of four consecutive integers is 342. What is the third term in the sequence
Fofino [41]

Answer:

86

Step-by-step explanation:

let  four consecutive integers: n  , n+1  , n+2  , n+3

n  + n+1  + n+2 + n+3 = 342

4n + 6 = 342

4n + 6  - 6  = 342 - 6

4n = 336

divid by : 4

n = 84

but the third term is : n +2   so : 84+2 = 86

Five times the quotient of y and 7​
OLga [1]

Answer:

5(y / 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

A quotient is the answer to a division problem. This tells us that y and 7 are being divided.

We have (y / 7) so far.

Five times this quotient (y / 7) can be represented by 5*, as the quotient is being multiplied by 5.

The final expression can be shown as: 5(y / 7).
