Answer:

<em>The temperature six hours ago was 13 °F</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Six hours ago the temperature was x degrees.

The temperature now is "6 degrees less than twice the temperature that it was six hours ago."

The temperature now is 2x - 6.

The temperature now is 20 deg.

2x - 6 = 20

2x = 26

x = 13

Answer: The temperature six hours ago was 13 °F.

A rectangular swimming pool is twice as long as it is wide. A small concrete sidewalk surrounds the pool and is a constant 2 fee
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

The dimensions of the pool are:

Width: 8.944 feet

Length: 17.888 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

From Geometry, the area of a rectangle (A), measured in square feet, is determined by the following equations:

A = w\cdot l (1)

Where:

w - Width, measured in feet.

l - Length, measured in feet.

If we know that w = x, l = 2\cdot x and A = 160\,ft^{2}, then we get the following second order polynomial:

2\cdot x^{2}-160 = 0 (1)

And we solve the expression for x:

2\cdot x^{2} = 160

x^{2} = 80

x = \sqrt{80}\,ft

x \approx 8.944\,ft

Then, the dimensions of the pool are, respectively:

w \approx 8.944\,ft and l \approx 17.888\,ft

A 45 foot ladder is leaning against a building. If the bottom of the ladder is 27 feet from the base of the building, how tall i
taurus [48]

Answer:

The height of building to the nearest foot is h = 36 foot

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given,

Length of ladder leaning against a building, l = 45 foot

Bottom length between ladder and the building , b = 27

Now, we need to find the height of building to the nearest foot.

Let the height of building be h.

Using Pythagoras theorem,

l^{2} = b^{2} +h^{2}

Here, l = 45 , b = 27 and h =?

So,

45^{2} = 27^{2} +h^{2}

h² = 45² - 27²

h = √(45² - 27²)

h = 36

The height of building to the nearest foot is h = 36 foot

8. A company makes electronic components for TV's. 95% pass final inspection (and 5% fail and need to be fixed). 120 components
Taya2010 [7]

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that the variance of the number that pass inspection in one day is 5.7.

For each component, there are only two possible outcomes, either it passes inspection, or it does not. The probability of a component passing inspections is independent of any other component, hence, the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of <u>exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability</u>, and has variance given by:

V(X) = np(1 - p)

In this problem:

  • 95% pass final inspection, hence p = 0.95
  • 120 components are inspected in one day, hence n = 120.

The variance is given by:

V(X) = np(1 - p) = 120(0.95)(0.05) = 5.7

The variance of the number that pass inspection in one day is 5.7.

Suppose John is a high school statistics teacher who believes that watching many hours of TV leads to lower test scores. Immedia
Hatshy [7]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

Suppose John is a high school statistics teacher who believes that watching many hours of TV leads to lower test scores. Immediately after giving the most recent test, he surveyed each of the 24 students in his class and asked them how many hours of TV they watched that week. He then matched each student's test grade with his or her survey response. After compiling the data, he used hours of TV watched to predict each student's test score. He found the least-squares regression line to be y"  = -1.5x + 85.

He also calculated that the value of r, the correlation, was -0.61.

what is the correct value of the coefficient of determination R² and give a correct interpretation of its meaning

Answer:

Interpretation of coefficient of determination R² = 0.3721

R² = 0.3721, meaning 37.21% of the total variation in test scores can be explained by the least square regression line

Step-by-step explanation:  

Given the data in the question;

the least square regression line is;

y"  = -1.5x + 85

the correlation coefficient r = -0.61

Now, the coefficient of determination R² is square of correlation coefficient r

R² = -61²

R² = 0.3721
