Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The question isn't complete. Here is the completed question that I got online.

Fifteen hundred (1500) randomly selected South Carolina kindergarten

students were observed on the first day of school to determine if they knew how to tie a shoe. Using this information, please identify the following: Population:

Sample:

Variable:

Sample Size:

Sample Space:

The variable is: (qualitative/quantitative)

If 40% of the observed students knew how to tie their shoes, how many of the 58,135 kindergarten students in SC can we expect to know how to tie their shoes?

Sample: The sample is 1500.

Variable: This is the number of students who know how to tie their shoes.

Sample Size: 1500

Sample Space: The total number of students in South Carolina kindergarten

The variable is quantitative since they're counted.

If 40% of the observed students knew how to tie their shoes, therefore the number from the 58,135 kindergarten students in SC that can be expected to know how to tie their shoes will be:

= 40% × 58135

= 0.4 × 58315

= 23254

Derek's car has run out of gasoline. He walks 24 km west and then 10 km south looking for a gasoline station. If he is now h km

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

the value of h is √676km

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the value of h is shown below

Here we apply the Pythagoreus theorem

= 24^2 + 10^2

= 576 + 100

= √676

Hence, the value of h is √676km

We simply determine by using the Pythagoreus theorem

Mario buys tickets for either 47 or 57 dollars. He purchases 14 tickets and spends 738 dollars. How many tickets did he purchase

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

6 tickets were purchased at $47

8 tickets were purchased at $57

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the tickets purchased at $47 be x

Let the tickets purchased at $57 be y

We can form an equation from the question given which will be:

x + y = 14 ....... i

47x + 57y = 738 ........ ii

From equation i

x = 14 - y ........ iii

Substitute iii into ii

47x + 57y = 738

47(14-y) + 57y = 738

658 - 47y + 57y = 738

Collect like terms

-47y + 57y = 738 - 658

10y = 80

y = 80/10

y = 8

8 tickets were purchased at $57

Note that from i

x + y = 14

x + 8 = 14

x = 14 - 8

x = 6

6 tickets were purchased at $47

Two ladders are leaning against a building, forming two similar triangles as shown below. The top of the longer ladder is 28 fee

postnew [5]

Answer:

The length of the longer ladder is 35 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Please check the attachment for a diagrammatic representation of the problem

We want to calculate the length of the longer ladder ;

We make reference to the diagram

Since the two right triangles formed are similar. the ratios of their sides are equal;

Thus;

20/15 = 28/x + 15

20(x + 15) = 15(28)

20x + 300 = 420

20x = 420-300

20x = 120

x = 120/20

x = 6

So we want to calculate the hypotenuse of a right triangle with other sides 28ft and 21 ft

To do this, we use the Pythagoras’ theorem which states that square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides

Let the hypotenuse be marked x

x^2 = 28^2 + 21^2

x^2 = 1,225

x = √1225

x = 35 ft
