Consider a nine -year moving average used to smooth a time series that was first recorded in 1961. a. Which year serves as the f

kirill [66]

Answer:

a. 1965

b. 8 years

Step-by-step explanation:

For answers to questions like these it can work to consider the smallest possible dataset.

<h3>Dataset</h3>

For our purpose, consider the 9 years/values to be averaged to be ...

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 ,9

<h3>Observations</h3>

a. The center value of the data set is 5. Its number is 5-1=4 more than the first one.

The first centered value is from the year 1961 +4 = 1965.

b. The 4 values at the beginning, and the 4 values at the end do not have a corresponding "average" value. That is, 4+4 = 8 values in the series are lost with respect to the number of average values.

8 years of values are lost.

Half the difference of a number and 16 is negative 2

Reika [66]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

Work backwards. If -2 x 2= -4 then something plus negative four will equal 16, which is 20.

Consider that the length of rectangle A is 10 cm and its width is 6 cm. Which rectangle is similar to rectangle A? A) A rectangl

HACTEHA [7]

ANSWER

B) A rectangle with a length of 15 cm and a width of 9 cm.

EXPLANATION

The given rectangle, A, has length, 10cm and its width is 6cm.

The rectangle that is similar to rectangle A, has the corresponding sides in the same proportion.

For option A, the triangle has length 9cm and width 6cm.

The ratio of the corresponding sides are:

$\frac{10}{9} \ne \frac{6}{6}$

Since the ratios are not equal, the two triangles are not similar.

For the triangle in option B, the length is 15cm and the width is 9cm.

The ratio of the corresponding sides are:

$\frac{10}{15} = \frac{6}{9} = \frac{2}{3}$

Since the sides of the triangle are in the same proportion, the two triangles are similar.

For option C, the proportions are not the same.

$\frac{10}{14} \ne \frac{6}{7}$

The proportions are not the same for the triangle in option D.

$\frac{10}{12} \ne \frac{6}{8}$
