Answer:

The true statement about Kendra's sample is:

b) Kendra's samples are precise but not accurate.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Average age of dogs currently alive = 4.8 years

Average ages of dogs in Kendra's sample

Week   Average Age (in years)

1                    3.7

2                   3.8

3                   4.2

4                   4.1

5                  3.9

6                  3.9

7                  4.0

Total         27.6

Mean = 3.9 (27.6/7)

b) Accuracy refers to how close Kendra's sample mean age of dogs is to the average age value as stated in the Modern Dog Magazine.  While the Magazine stated an average age of 4.8 years, Kendra's sample produced a mean of 3.9 years.  On the other hand, precision refers to how close Kendra's sample measurements are to each other.  With a mean of 3.9 years, the sample measurements are very close to each other.  Therefore, we can conclude that "Kendra's samples are precise but not accurate."

The air pressure inside Jason's bike tires decreases by about 6% each week. The original pressure was 45 pounds per square inch
Fudgin [204]
Lets do this week by week 
beginning pressure 45 pounds 
end of week 1 
45 *.06 = 2.7
45 - 2.7 = 42.3
end of week 2 
42.3 * .06 = 2.538
42.3 - 2.538 = 39.762
end of week 3 
39.762 *.06 = 2.38
39.762 -  2.38 = 37.37
end of week 4
37.37* .06 = 2.2425
37.37628 - 2.2425= 35.12
end of week 5
35.12 * .06 = 2.107
35.12 - 2.107 = 33.012
end of week 6 
33.012* .06 = 1.98
33.012 - 1.98 =31.03

Here is the fast way to get to this answer. 
do 1-.06 = .94

then do 
45(.94)(.94)(.94)(.94)(.94)(.94)  = 31.04

Suppose you cut a small square from a square of fabric as shown in the diagram. Write an expression for the remaining shaded are
eduard
The area of the larger square is x^2
The area of the small square is 3*3 = 9
To find the area of the shaded region you subtract the two values.
x^2 - 9

The factored form of this is (x + 3)(x - 3)

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find which trinomial has:

1) two terms that are the perfect square of two numbers

2) a terms that is the double product of the two numbers

the first condition is satisfied by A and B, but only B satisfied the second., in fact the trinomial can be rewrite as: (2a-5)^2

Options C and D are traps because the square of a number can’t be negative
