Answer: Rip was asleep and the people kept wondering he was a spy from England.
Explanation: Washington Irving's story "Rip Van Winkle" that tells the story of how the United States was established when Rip Van Winkle was asleep for two decades. Rip was asleep and the people in the town wondered if he was a spy sent from England. Later, when he returned to his town finally, it was an old woman that recognized him. When Rip informed the town what had happened, old Peter Vanderdouk was consulted and he confirmed that it is true that the Kaatskills are haunted. Rip rip was asleep when United States had been to war and eventually got her independence.

Explanation:
you're so very welcome.
Extraneous
An <em>extraneous variable</em> is a variable in an experiment that you are not intentionally studying. These variables usually provide undesired affects on the experiment.
In this example, the independent variable is whether a sentence is humorous or not, and the dependent variable is the memory performance score. However, because the humorous sentences are only given to males, and the non-humorous sentences are only given to females, gender becomes an extraneous variable as you are not intentionally testing gender's relation to the dependent variable, but it is still affecting the experiment.
Answer and explanation:
First, let's understand the difference between categorical and quantitative variables. A quantitative variable can also be called a numerical variable. As this name suggests, it involves numbers. It can be measured numerically and be used in calculations - this is important, because not everything that has numbers is used in calculations; take the zip code as an example. On the other hand, a categorical variable cannot be expressed numerically in the same way described above. It is related to a certain quality or characteristic of something. For instance, you can attribute the number one to a person who is sick and the number two to a person who is not sick. The numbers are just a representation of the qualities; they won't be used in calculations. Now, we can safely judge the options given:
The price in dollars of statistics textbooks. --> quantitative
The working status of a computer part (working/not working). --> categorical
The gender of faculty in the mechanical engineering department. --> categorical
The number of miles until failure of a certain brand of tires. --> quantitative
The political party affiliation of students at OSU. --> categorical
The time to complete an exam. --> quantitative
The shirt sizes of a running club. --> categorical
Answer:
Explanation:
Just so you understand more deeply. There is more than one answer for this question, "as it is written". Math can be like this sometimes. And it can cause a lot of confusion. You must read it very carefully. If you multiply 8 x 4 you get 32. You know that (? x 7) must be greater that that number because you subtract (? x 3). If you multiply 5 x 7 you get 35. And that is greater than 32. Then take 32 from 35 to get 3. So that (5 x 7) - (1 x 3) also gives 32. If ? is assumed to be the same value for both (? x 7) and (? x 3). Then the problem can be solved by the rules of algebra, as it was done by Vivian. Any other analysis can give you other possible answers. If this is the case, then there must be some more to the question. You are not told that ? = ?. But this must be the case. And ? is an "operator", not just a question mark. To get just one answer, they must both be 8. You just use the "math rules" to move things around until you find the way to the answer. Scientists sometimes do this for months or years to solve complicated problems.
Often, your number sense gets confused by this kind of "discrepancy" or not knowing where to start situation, when you go beyond simple math and into algebra concepts. And this can leave you lost and not knowing where to start. If the general question is put to you to solve the problem by algebra concepts. You can assume more into the question by applying the rules of algebra. In algebra, symbols are used instead of numbers. This is part of the "math rules". Then the other rules are used to find the answer. The symbol ? is just as valid as x or y or whatever. In science you sometimes even use words. (That is how word problems are built.) Once you know the "math rules". You can apply logic to solve math problems.
I send this answer to give you a deeper understanding of what you are doing. You are learning basic rules now. Knowing what is causing your confusion can make things easier in the future. Jut play with the "ok" math maneuvers (+, -, multiplication, division) until you can do them without thinking. And math will become easy. There are more "math rules" that you will learn later. You will "see" the answers easier later. After you get more experience. Don't expect this now. The key to easy math is practice.
