Answer:

9 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out what d (distance) is, make a proportion of the values you know and d. This would be 15/67.5 = 2/d.

¹⁵/₆₇.₅ = 2/d

<em>Variable d cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by d.</em>

d * (¹⁵/₆₇.₅) = 2

<em>Expand 15/67.5   by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.</em>

d * (¹⁵⁰/₆₇₅) = 2

<em>Reduce the fraction ¹⁵⁰/₆₇₅  to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 75.</em>

d * (²/₉) = 2

<em>Multiply both sides by ⁹/₂, the reciprocal of ²/₉.</em>

d = (2 * 9)/2

<em>Cancel out 2 and 2.</em>

d = 9

The distance between the SLMS from the tide pools on the map is 9 inches.

What symbol is used for the arithmetic mean when it is a sample statistic? What symbol is used when the arithmetic mean is a pop
Andru [333]

Answer:

for sample = xbar

population = μ

Step-by-step explanation:

The arithmetic mean for sample can be represented by xbar and it can be calculated as

xbar=∑xi/n

Where xi represents data values and n represents number of data values in a sample.

The arithmetic mean for population can be represented by μ and it can be calculated as

μ=∑xi/N

Where xi represents data values and N represents number of data values in a population.

On Monday, Anya read 11 pages of a book in 1/2 hour. On Tuesday, she read 18 pages in 3/4 hour. Did Anya's reading speed increas
Lerok [7]
The way you should go about solving this really depends on how your teacher taught you...However, here's what I would recommend...
You know that 1/2 an hour is equal to 30 minutes, and 3/4 of an hour is equal to 45 minutes.
Using this you can  then solve for how many pages she read per minute by dividing the number of pages read by the number of minutes read:11 pages/ 30 minutes to give you Monday's reading speed,and18 pages/ 45 minutes to give you Tuesday's reading speed.

Next, to calculate a percentage increase you need to do the following:
1. Determine the difference between the speeds (this means you will subtract Monday's reading speed from Tuesday's reading speed.)
2. Next you take that number and divide it by Monday's reading speed.
3. Multiply that answer by 100 to get the percentage.

I'm not going to tell you the speeds, as you should try to attempt to solve it by yourself, and I'm sure you need to show your work. I will however tell you that you should find there was a 3.3% increase from Monday to Tuesday.

If you need more help, let me know!
