<h3>Answer: D) 144 square cm</h3>

========================================================

Explanation:

A square has all four sides that are the same length. So all four sides are 12 cm

area = side*side = 12*12 = 144 cm^2

Or you could say

area = (side)^2 = (12)^2 = 144 cm^2

Squaring a number is the same as multiplying it by itself. Hence the name "square" refers to a side length pairing up with its corresponding area value.

---------

Side note: The perimeter is 4*(side) = 4*12 = 48 cm. It's possible that choice B is put in there as a trick answer.

Answer:

B. 9,000,000,000

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

We are to determine the best estimate of the number of bottles sold this year and last year.

The best estimate means rounding up to the nearest whole number.

Given that:

7,234,267,990 bottles of water were purchased this year

2,000,900,999 bottles of water were purchased last year

The estimate of the bottles sold this year and last year from the above value is:

= 7,000,000,000 + 2,000,000,000

= 9,000,000,000

A study was conducted in order to estimate μ, the mean number of weekly hours that U.S. adults use computers at home. Suppose a

Answer:

The point estimate for $\mu$ is 8.5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

In this problem

We are working with a sample of 81 adults, so the point estimae of the mean is the mean number of weekly hours that U.S. adults use computers at home.

So, the point estimate for $\mu$ is 8.5 hours.
