You need a 45% alcohol solution. On hand, you have a 175 mL of a 25% alcohol mixture. You also have 70% alcohol mixture. How muc

175 mL at 25% concentration of alcohol contains 0.25 (175 mL) = 43.75 mL of alcohol. If <em>v</em> is the amount of the 70% solution that you use, then that amount contains 0.7<em>v</em> mL of alcohol.

Mixing these two yields a total volume of 175 mL + <em>v</em>, and it contains 43.75 mL + 0.7<em>v</em> alcohol. You want to end up with a concentration of 45%, which means the ratio of the amount of alcohol to the total volume needs to be 0.45:

(43.75 mL + 0.7<em>v</em>) / (175 mL + <em>v</em>) = 0.45

Solve for <em>v</em> :

43.75 mL + 0.7<em>v</em> = 0.45 (175 mL + <em>v</em>)

43.75 mL + 0.7<em>v</em> = 78.75 mL + 0.45<em>v</em>

0.25<em>v</em> = 35 mL

<em>v</em> = 140 mL

A 15 ft ladder makes a 52° angle with the ground. How far will the top of the ladder be above the ground.
levacccp [35]

Answer:

11.820 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you that ...

Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

The length of the ladder is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with 52° as the base angle. The side opposite is the height up the building where the top of the ladder rests. So, you have the relation ...

sin(52°) = height/(15 ft)

Multiplying by the denominator gives you ...

height = (15 ft)·sin(52°) ≈ 11.820 ft

___

You may need to round this number appropriately.

garri49 [273]

Answer:

Option C) a positive correlation.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

" People who tend to score low on one variable tend to score low on another variable."

Correlation:

  • Correlation is a technique that help us to find or define a linear relationship between two variables.
  • It is a measure of linear relationship between two quantities.
  • A positive correlation means that an increase in one quantity leads to an increase in another quantity  or decrease in one quantity leads to decrease in another quantity.
  • A negative correlation means with increase in one quantity the other quantity decreases.
  • +1 tells about a a perfect positive linear relationship and −1 indicates a perfect negative linear relationship.

Since, for the given case with decrease in one variable other also decreases, thus, it is an example of positive correlation. Thus, the correlation coefficient cannot be less than or equal to zero.

Thus, the correct answer is

Option C) a positive correlation.
