Answer:

B. 7 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for time (in this scenario) is t = d/s.

t - time

d - distance

s - speed

For this problem, d - 385 mi and s - 55 mph. To find the time this trip took, you would solve 385/55=7. In the end, Kelly drove for 7 hrs. Hope this helps!!

The two-column proof below describes the statement and reason for proving that corresponding angles are congruent.

noname [10]

Step 6 wants us to show two angles which are also two interior angles that are located on the same side.

Interior angles are angles that are INSIDE the parallel lines.

On the diagram given, there are two pairs of interior angles that are on the same side:

Angle VQT and angle ZRS
Angle UQT and angle WRS

Two interior angles on the same sides add up to 180°

The missing statement that would fit statement in Step 6 is:
m∠VQT + m∠ZRS = 180°

Find the population mean or sample mean as indicated. Sample: 19, 15, 6, 11, 24 Compute the sample mean for this data set. Selec

Answer:

$\overline{x}=15$

Step-by-step explanation:

the mean is given by:

$\overline{x} = \dfrac{\sum\limits_{i=1}^n x_i}{n} \quad\text{or}\quad \dfrac{\text{sum of all items}}{\text{number of items}}$

In our case this is:

$\overline{x} = \dfrac{19+15+6+11+24}{5} \Rightarrow \dfrac{75}{5}\\\\\overline{x} = 15\\\\$

side note: the main difference between sample mean and population mean is in the 'context'. However, the method to calculate them is the same.

By context I mean: if this the items are taken from some larger category for example: the ages of a few 'students' from a 'class'. Here 'students' are the sample from a larger set that is 'class'. The mean of the 'few students' will be called sample mean. In contrast, if we take the mean of the ages of the whole class then this is called population mean. (population mean == mean of the whole set)

In our case we aren't told exactly where these numbers come from, is this the whole set or a sample from it, the lack of context allows us to assume that the mean can either be population mean or sample mean. So we can safely use any symbol $\mu$ or $\overline{x}$ .
