Answer:

150 boys were enrolled in 2012

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of boys enrolled in 2012 be x

Let the number of girls enrolled in 2012 be x + 200

Ratio of boys to girls in 2012 enrollment = 3/7

Now;

3/7 = x/x + 200

7x = 3(x + 200)

7x = 3x + 600

7x - 3x = 600

4x = 600

x = 600/4

x = 150 boys

Hence, 150 boys were enrolled in 2012

If lisa can run a mile in 7 minutes. At that rate of speed, how long would it take her to run 2 kilometers?
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

8.75

Step-by-step explanation:

1 mile = 1.6 km

So, every 7 minutes, 1.6 km is ran.

Divide 1.6 by 2 to figure out how much more she is running.

1.6 / 2 = 0.8

Divide the known pace by the extra distance to figure out the time

7 min / 0.8 km = 8.75 min

A rock is thrown at 0 seconds from a height of 6 feet. If the parabola representing the height as a function of time has a verte
Korolek [52]

Answer:

The correct option is;

The graph will have a height of 6 feet at 16 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The start time for throwing the rock = 0 s

The height from which the rock is thrown = 6 ft

The vertex of the parabola = 8 seconds

Given that the vertex is the axis of symmetry, then the time it takes the rock to reach the vertex (8 seconds) from the point (0, 6) will be the same time it takes the rock to reach the point on the other side of the parabola at the same 6 feet which will then have coordinates (8 + 8, 6) or (16, 6) which will be 6 feet in 16 seconds.

SSHA scores Here are the scores on the Survey of Study Habits and Attitudes (SSHA) for 18 first-year college women:154 109 137 1
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Women has better study habit than men.

Step-by-step explanation:

For knowing who has better study habits and attitudes toward learning we have to find the mean of both the women and men data.

The first step is that we only take first 18 values of both women(X) and men(Y) data, to make them of same length

Mean is used to measure the central tendency of data which represents the whole data in the best way. It can be found as the ratio of the sum of all the observations to the total number of observations.  

Calculating all values:

\bar{X} = 141.0556

\bar{Y} = 121.25

Thus, women has better study habit than men. Since Mean of X is larger than Mean of Y.
