Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the line equation

$y = mx+b$

where

m is the rate of change or slope

b is the y-intercept

A hot air balloon is descending at a rate of 287 feet per minute.

Thus, the rate of change m = -287

The negative sign indicates that a hot air balloon is descending.

Let y be elevation.

Let x be the time (in minutes)

As there is no mentioning of the initial height.

Thus, the y-intercept b = 0

now substituting m = -287 and b = 0

y = mx + b

y = -287x + 0

y = -287x

In order to determine the total change in elevation of the balloon in 4 minutes, we need to substitute x = 4 in the equation y = -287x.

Thus, the total change in elevation of the balloon in 4 minutes will be:

y = -287x

y = -287(4)

y = -1148 feet

The negative sign indicates that that the elevation is decreasing.

II. Identify the following terms described in each item. Quantitative & Qualitate. It can be separated into different catego

guajiro [1.7K]

It is a branch of mathematics that deals with the collection, organization presentation, analysis, and interpretation of data.

1. C. Discrete

2. A. interval

3. B. Quantitative data

4. B. Ratio

5. C. Quantitative

1. A random variable is called discrete if it has either a finite or a countable number of possible values.

A random variable is called continuous if its possible values contain a whole interval of numbers.

2. The third level of measurement is the interval level of measurement. The interval level of measurement not only classifies and orders the measurements but also specifies that the distances between each interval on the scale are equivalent along the scale from low interval to high interval.

3. Quantitative data consist of numerical measurements or counts.

4. Something measured on a ratio scale has the same properties that an interval scale has except, with a ratio scaling, there is an absolute zero point. Temperature measured in Kelvin is an example.

There is no value possible below 0 degrees Kelvin, it is absolute zero.

5. Qualitative data can be separated into different categories that are distinguished by some non-numeric characteristics.

A sociologist develops a test to measure attitudes towards public transportation, and 27 randomly selected subjects are given th

taurus [48]

Answer:

The margin of error for the 95% confidence interval for the mean score of all such subjects is of 8.45.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 27 - 1 = 26

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 26 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of $1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975$ . So we have T = 2.0518

The margin of error is:

$M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

In this question:

$n = 27, s = 21.4$ . So

$M = 2.0518\frac{21.4}{\sqrt{27}}$

$M = 8.45$

The margin of error for the 95% confidence interval for the mean score of all such subjects is of 8.45.

Matthew is making a sequence in which -3 is added to each successive term. The 6th term in his sequence is -1. What is the 1st t

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

The first term is 14.

Step-by-step explanation:

The general formula for this kind of sequence (arithmetic) is a(n) = a(1) + (n-1)c, where c is the common difference. Here, we have a(6) = -1 = a(1) + (6-1)(-3), or -1 +15 = a(1). The first term is 14.
