Answer:

3.2ft long shadow

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we are given a ratio between the tree/shadow and woman/shadow therefore we are given 3 values and 1 unknown then we can use the Rule of Three to calculate the length of the shadow which we will refer to as x. The Rule of Three simply multiplies the diagonal values and divides by the third value in order to get the missing unknown like so...

55ft tall  <======>  32ft long shadow

5.5ft tall   <======>  x ft long shadow

(5.5 * 32) / 55 =  3.2ft long shadow

Finally, we can see that the woman's shadow would be a 3.2ft long shadow

exercise alone. Two methods of collecting data have been proposed. Method I: Recruit volunteers who are willing to participate.
aniked [119]

Answer:

I) If method I is used, population of generalization will include all those people who may have varying exercising habits or routines.  They may or may not have a regular excersing habit.  In his case sample is taken from a more diverse population

II) Population of generalization will include people who will have similar excersing routines and habits if method II is used since sample is choosen from a specific population

Step-by-step explanation:

past excercising habits may affect the change in intensity to a targeted excersise in different manner. So in method I a greater diversity is included and result of excersing with or without a trainer will account for greater number of variables than method II.

The weights of bags of ready-to-eat salad are normally distributed with a mean of 290 grams and a standard deviation of 10 grams
pentagon [3]
290-10=280

280 is one standard deviation below.
All that are above mean is 50%.
One standard deviation below is 34%.
50%+34%=84%  all of these bags weigh more than 280 g.
So,
100%-84%=16%  should be bags that are less than 280 g.

Answer is b) 16 %.
