Answer in fraction form: x = 55/4

Answer in decimal form: x = 13.75

Both forms are equivalent, but they say it in a slightly different way.

===========================================================

Work Shown:

AC/QY = CD/YW

(x+5)/15 = 5/4

4(x+5) = 15*5

4x+20 = 75

4x = 75-20

4x = 55

x = 55/4

x = 13.75

------------

Explanations:

The first step is possible because the polygons are similar. Similar figures have their corresponding sides be in the same proportion or ratio. Note how side AC has the double red angle (at point A) and a single red angle (point C). The side QY has the same idea in the same order. This is why AC corresponds to QY. The ratio AC/QY is the same as CD/YW.
In the second step, I plugged in the expressions that the diagram shows. This is the substitution property.
On step 3, I cross multiplied. The general format is A/B = C/D cross multiplies to A*D = B*C.

$\bf \displaystyle \int\limits_{0}^{28}\ \cfrac{1}{\sqrt[3]{u^2}}\cdot \cfrac{du}{2}\implies \cfrac{1}{2}\int\limits_{0}^{28}\ u^{-\frac{2}{3}}\cdot du\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
\textit{now let's change the bounds}\\
\textit{by using } u(x)
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
u(0)=8+2(0)\implies u(0)=8
\\\\\\
u(28)=8+2(28)\implies u(28)=64$

$\bf \\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\displaystyle \cfrac{1}{2}\int\limits_{8}^{64}\ u^{-\frac{2}{3}}\cdot du\implies \cfrac{1}{2}\cdot \cfrac{u^{\frac{1}{3}}}{\frac{1}{3}}\implies \left. \cfrac{3\sqrt[3]{u}}{2} \right]_8^{64}
\\\\\\
\left[ \cfrac{3\sqrt[3]{(2^2)^3}}{2} \right]-\left[ \cfrac{3\sqrt[3]{2^3}}{2} \right]\implies \cfrac{12}{2}-\cfrac{6}{2}\implies 6-3\implies 3$

Graham recruited student volunteers to participate in his dissertation study. He set up several times for students to come to a

mart [117]

Answer:

Sampling bias

Step-by-step explanation:

Bias refers a prominent problem in statistical analysis whereby one or more analytical factor are favored than the other during an analysis which should be made random. The problem. With Graham's dissertation study is the fact that he failed to randomlyvplace his subjects or observation in the study groups, favoring a particular group with non random subset. When randomization is ejected or missing from an analysis or study, it becomes less and less representative. Here, allotting early Arrivals Into the treatment group has introduced a sampling bias as those who came later, this will also leads to less reproducibility of experiment.

Molly is converting 2 yards to millimeters. Will the number of millimeters be fewer than or greater than 2?

ololo11 [35]

Greater than.

yards are a larger unit of measurement, so to convert it there are more millimeters to count the same amount of space.
