Answer:
I disagree with the statement.
Step-by-step explanation:
Speed of the ball is different at each position:
This rhymes with the laws of physics because a ball placed at a certain height or on a certain slope will have a different speed (when thrown or rolled down) from a ball placed at a different height or on a different position on a plane.
There is no way to define probability density because i can't calculate the probability at just one point:
This statement is self-opposing as probability density is meant for times when probability value cannot be calculated or found for every given point! It is meant for continuous variables such as the one you're dealing with here - speed. The way to do this is to derive a probability density value for the variable in question (speed of the ball) for specific position intervals. Hence, divide the positions into intervals e.g.
A - B, B - C, C - D and so on.
So, probability density is used when you cannot the probability at just one point.
I'm not so sure but from what I know the answer is option 2
Answer:
The minimum: 3
The lower Q: 7
The median: 7
The upper Q: 6
Maximum: 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Speed = distance / time
speed = 1(mile) / 4 (minutes)
speed = 0.25 miles per minute
s = 0.25m <== ur equation
there are 60 minutes in an hr....so sub in 60 for m
s = 0.25(60)
s = 15 miles per hr <====
Answer:
either of Step 3 or Step 4
Step-by-step explanation:
At Step 3, -1 is added to both sides of the equation. Technically, this is correct (not an error), but it does not lead to a solution to the equation (so, could be considered to be an error). Adding +1 to both sides of the equation would lead more directly to a solution.
__
At Step 4, x -1 -1 is simplified to x. This is an error, as the correct simplification is x-2, so the equation after this step should read x-2 = 5. If Step 3 had been executed by adding +1 to both sides of the equation, then the simplification here would be x=7.
_____
Answering "why" someone does something is always tricky. One can project one's own interpretation onto the actions of others, but one never really knows whether that is accurate or not.
The "why" in this case could go back to the motivation of the problem's author, which may be to see if the student can recognize that the opposite of -1 is +1, or that the sum -1-1 is not zero.
___
My guess is that Step 3 is considered to be the erroneous step, and that choosing Step 4 will get you into a losing argument with your grader.
