Answer:

The required equation is y=0.5\cos (\frac{\pi t}{6})+9.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the height, h, in feet of the tip of the hour hand of a wall clock varies from 9 feet to 10 feet. It means the minimum height is 9 feet and the maximum height is 10.

At x=0 is 12:00 a.m, it means the function is maximum at x=0. So, the general equation is defined as

y=a\cos(\omega t)+b

Where, a is amplitude, w is period, t is time in hours and b is midline.

Midline is the average of minimum and maximum height.

b=\frac{9+10}{2}=9.5

Amplitude is the distance of maximum of minimum value from midline.

a=10-9.5=0.5

Now, the equation can be written as

y=0.5\cos(wt)+9.5                      .... (1)

At t = 0 is 12:00 a.m, so t=3 is 3:00 a.m and the y=9.5 at x=3.

9.5=0.5\cos(3w)+9.5

\cos(3w)=0

\cos(3w)=\cos(\frac{\pi}{2})

3w=\frac{\pi}{2}

w=\frac{\pi}{6}

Substitute this value in equation (1).

y=0.5\cos (\frac{\pi t}{6})+9.5

Therefore the required equation is y=0.5\cos (\frac{\pi t}{6})+9.5.

Y=Acos(p)+m, A=amplitude, p=period, m=midline, in this case:

A=1/2, p=360(t/12)=30t, m=(10-9)/2+9=9.5 so

h(t)=(1/2)cos(30t)+9.5

Inferential statistics allow you to decide whether a difference between the experimental and the control group is due to:_______
den301095 [7]

Answer:

Option (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 main branches of statistics. They are:

1. Descriptive Statistics

2. Inferential Statistics

Descriptive statistics describes the characteristics of observed subjects or items while Inferential statistics makes inferences, based on given or derived data.

Inferential Statistics allow you to decide whether a difference between the experimental group and control group is due to <u>manipulation or chance.</u>

<u />

The Experimental group is the group that an effect is tested on while the Control group is the group that is left untested or uninfluenced. Inferential statistics allow you to decide whether a difference between these 2 groups is due to

- manipulation or interference by any force (which may be the experimenter/researcher)

or

- probability which is chance.

Answer:

17=s+7

-7    -7

-----------

10    0

s=10

Step-by-step explanation:

-Subtract 7 from both sides

-Remove the 0 and the addition sign

-You are now left with the equation s = 10

-Once you check to make sure 10 + 7 = 17 you have your answer

Hope this helps :))

(50 POINTS - WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST TO MOST HELPFUL ANSWER)
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

Part A:

x + y = 80

x + 20 = y

Part B:

Pam spends 30 minutes practicing math every day.

Part C:

It is not possible for Pam to have spent 60 minutes practicing dance because this means she must have practiced math for 40 minutes (60 - 20 = 40). This would total out to 100 minutes of total practice, not 80 minutes. Therefore, this is impossible.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

"She spends 80 minutes every day practicing dance and math."

x + y = 80

"She dances for 20 minutes longer than she works on math."

x + 20 = y

Part B:

Solve for x:

x + 20 = y

Isolate variable x:

x = y - 20

Plug in this new value for the first equation:

y - 20 + y = 80

Combine like terms:

2y - 20 = 80

Isolate variable y:

2y = 100

y = 50

Plug in the new value of y into any equation:

x + 50 = 80

Isolate variable x:

x = 30

Part C:

x + 20 = y

x + 20 = 60

x = 40

x + y = 80

40 + 60 = 80

100 = 80

Impossible.
