8. Why is it NOT useful to view science as a set of facts?

This is my honest opinion

Science is not just facts. Science, to me, is full of theories and hypotheses that can be proved wrong. Yes, a majority of it is actually factual, but in the future it may or may not be true.

I hope it helps.

Answer:
(assuming this isn't actually for math?) but one reason is bc science shouldn't be always taken as fact. science can be wrong.

Explanation:
not all but many scientists are skeptical and won't accept anything without proof, and even when things are accepted as right they can still be wrong later. example: humans once believed the planets revolved around the earth and that the earth was flat (even, some people still believe the earth is flat today....) but both those things are generally unaccepted today.

science shouldn't be viewed as fact always, because accepting everything as fact will lead to misassumptions and false information. it's like we should never take things for granted

x P(x) 0 0.25 1 0.3 2 0.1 3 0.35 Find the standard deviation of this probability distribution. Give your answer to at least 2 de
barxatty [35]

Answer:

The standard deviation of this probability distribution is 1.2.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that:

P(X = 0) = 0.25

P(X = 1) = 0.3

P(X = 2) = 0.1

P(X = 3) = 0.35

Mean:

Each value multiplied by its probability. So

M = 0*0.25 + 1*0.3 + 2*0.1 + 3*0.35 = 1.55

Variance:

Sum of the squares of the values subtracted from the mean, and multiplied by its probability.

V = 0.25*(0-1.55)^2 + 0.3*(1-1.55)^2 + 0.1*(2-1.55)^2 + 0.35*(3-1.55)^2 = 1.4475

Standard deviation:

Square root of the variance. So

S = \sqrt{V} = \sqrt{1.4475} = 1.2

The standard deviation of this probability distribution is 1.2.

The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°. The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a quadr
omeli [17]

Answer: 1080 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the general formular is

(n - 2 )180 = interior angle.

Where n is the number of sides the polygon has.

Octagon has 8 sides so therefore n= 8.

(8-2 ) * 180

= 6 * 180

=1080.

The total number of the interior angles measured is 1080 degrees.

What is the slope of the line represented by the equation y = –x + ? – –
Svetlanka [38]

For this case we have by definition, that the equation of a line in the slope-intersection form is given by:

y = mx + b

Where:

m: It is the slope of the line

b: It is the cut point with the "y" axis

We have, according to the data provided, that the line is of the form:

y = -x + b

That means that the slope is -1.

ANswer:

m = -1
