A group of adults and students went on a class trip to Washington, DC. The number of male students was 1 more than 7 times the n

umber of adults. The number of female students was half the number of male students. If the total number of people who went on the trip is 82, find the numbers of male students and female students.

In equation, let x be the number of male students
a be the number of adults
y be the number of female students.
x= 7a+1
a= x/7 -1
y= x/2 or (7a + 1)/ 2

a + b = 82, let b be the number of students.
a + (x + y) = 82
a + [7a+1 + (7a+1)/2] = 82
a + [{2(7a+1) + 7a+1} / 2] = 82
a + [(14a +2 + 7a +1) / 2] = 82
a + [(21a + 3) / 2] = 82
(2a+ 21a + 3) / 2 = 82
(23a + 3) / 2 = 82
23a + 3 = 164
23a = 164 -3 
23a = 161
a = 7

x = 7(7) +1, 49+1 = 50 male students
y=x/2, 50/2, 25 female students

50(male students) + 25(female students)  + 7 (adults) = 82

A bolt falls off an airplane at an altitude of 500 m. How long will it take the bolt to reach
Rudik [331]

Answer:

t = sqrt(500/4.9) =~ 10.1 seconds/ Answer: 10.1015 seconds (this is approximate)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use 4.9t^2 + v0t = s

a) A bolt falls off an airplane at an altitude of 500 m. Approximately how long does it take the bolt to reach the ground?

s = 4.9t^2 + v0t = 500

4.9t^2 = 500

t = sqrt(500/4.9) =~ 10.1 seconds

Part A)

v = initial velocity = 0

s = 500 = vertical distance the object travels (from plane to ground)  

Plug in the given values and solve for t

4.9t^2 + v*t = s

4.9t^2 + 0*t = 500

4.9t^2 + 0 = 500

4.9t^2 = 500

t^2 = 500/4.9

t^2 = 102.04081632653

t = sqrt(102.04081632653)

t = 10.101525445522

t = 10.1015

Answer: 10.1015 seconds (this is approximate)

A study was done that looked at how much red meat people consumed and how long they lived. The correlation r was found to be 0.9
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the correlation r was found to be 0.98 (a value closer to 1).  

Let X =how much red meat people consumed

let Y = how long they lived.

where the x-values are the values of the deviations of co-ordinates X from Xₙ, their mean value and the y-values are the values of the deviations of co-ordinates Y from Yₙ, their mean value.

That is, x=(X−Xₙ) and y=(Y−Yₙ).

The results of this determination give values of r lying between +1 and −1, where;

+1 indicates perfect direct  correlation,

−1 indicates perfect inverse correlation and

0 indicates that no correlation exists.

Between these values, the smaller the value of r, the less is the amount of correlation which exists.

Generally, values of r in the ranges 0.7 to 1 and −0.7 to −1 show that a fair amount of correlation exists.

therefore, it can be seen that there is a perfect relationship between the quantity eaten and how long the person live

But, the correlation does not consider those that does not consume meat, and it is very hard to determined the answer to the question.

the answer is false because there are other reasons that determined longevity of life apart from meat consumption.
