A machine at a bottling company fills water bottles. the number of bottles filled is proportional to the amount of time the mach

Whitepunk [10]

In the table shown below:

Let N be the number of bottles filled,

Let T be the time in hours.

Given that the number of bottles filled is proportional to the amount of time the machine runs, we have

$\begin{gathered} N\propto T \\ \text{Introducing a proportionality constant, we have } \\ N\text{ = kT} \\ \Rightarrow k\text{ = }\frac{N}{T} \\ \end{gathered}$

Let's evaluate the value of k for each day.

Thus, on monday,

$\begin{gathered} N\text{ = 9900} \\ T\text{ = 5.5} \\ \text{thus,} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{9900}{5.5} \\ \Rightarrow k\text{ = 1800} \end{gathered}$

Tuesday:

$\begin{gathered} N\text{ = }11160 \\ T\text{ = }6.2 \\ \text{thus,} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{11160}{6.2} \\ \Rightarrow k\text{ = 1800} \end{gathered}$

Wednesday:

$\begin{gathered} N\text{ = }12330 \\ T\text{ = }6.25 \\ \text{thus,} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{12330}{6.25} \\ \Rightarrow k\text{ = 1972.8} \end{gathered}$

Thursday:

$\begin{gathered} N\text{ = }10440 \\ T\text{ = }5.80 \\ \text{thus,} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{10440}{5.8} \\ \Rightarrow k=1800 \end{gathered}$

It is observed that all exept wednesday have the same value of k.

Thus, the amount of time required for the number of bottles filled on wednesday is evaluated as

$\begin{gathered} N\text{ = }12330 \\ k\text{ = 1800} \\ T\text{ = ?} \\ \text{but} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{N}{T} \\ 1800\text{ = }\frac{12330}{T} \\ \Rightarrow T\text{ = }\frac{\text{12330}}{1800} \\ T\text{ = 6.85} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the incorrect day is Wednesday. The amount of time for that many bottles should be 6.85 hours.

One estimate of the population of the world on January 1, 2005, is

inn [45]

Answer:

8,566,379,470 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start simple. In order to find the population increase on January 1, 2006, we need to multiply 6,486,915,022 by 1.4% and add it to 6,486,915,022.

6,486,915,022*1.4% = 90,816,810.308
90,816,810.308+6,486,915,022 = 6,577,731,832.31 people on January 2006.

Note that the above two steps gives the same answer as 6,486,915,022*1.014.

So we need to do this for each year. 20 years pass between 1/1/2005 and 1/1/2025.

We need to do 6,486,915,022*1.014*1.014*1.014... 20 times.

This is equivalent to $6,486,915,022*1.014^{20}$ .

Multiplying it out gives us 8566379470.2 = 8,566,379,470 people.

A survey asked only girls to identify their favorite item on the

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

A biased sample is a sample that does not accurately represent the population.

The survey asked only girls, but we can assume this school has both boys and girls. Therefore, by only asking girls, it creates a bias, because the boys in the school are not represented.

Therefore, the correct choice is B: biased sample.
