Assume that each man peel potatoes at the same rate

The time required

= 5 x 35 / 3

= 175/3 minutes

QUESTION
Lorico [155]
1. For this item we just refer to the prompt to know the conjectures of Ernest and Denise. According to Ernest, they should swim 1 kilometer on the first week then add 0.25km every week while Denise believes that they should swim 1 kilometer on the first week then add 0.5km every week.

2. Yes, these distances make an arithmetic sequence. It's because an arithmetic sequence is defined as a group of increasing or decreasing numbers where the difference between any two consecutive numbers is constant. This just means that every number has the same interval. In the case of their schedule, this is true.

3. For this item we just follow the descriptions of Ernest's and Denise's schedule in item number 1. For Ernest, we just keep adding 0.25 from 1 kilometer until we added it thrice. For Denise, we also keep adding a number thrice but this time it's 0.5 instead of 0.25.

Ernest's Schedule: 1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75
Denise's Schedule: 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5

4. Here we are asked to determine a formula that will describe the schedules of Ernest and Denise. In the given formula a_{n}= a_{n-1}+d, a_{n} refers to the next term in the sequence, a_{n-1} refers to the previous term, while d refers to the common difference. In the recursive formula all we need is to insert the value of d to the equations.

Ernest: a_{n}= a_{n-1}+0.25
Denise: a_{n}= a_{n-1}+0.5

5. For this item we basically do the same thing but this time we are given another formula. Our formula is in the form a_{n}= a_{1}+(n-1)d where a_{n} is still the nth term of the sequence, a_{1} is the very first time, n is the number of terms, and d is the common difference. 

Ernest: a_{n}= 1.0+0.25(n-1)
Denise: a_{n}= 1.0+0.5(n-1)

6. In this item we will just basically substitute numbers to one of the equations that we've set up in item #5. For this we need Ernest's explicit formula first. To know how far they will be swimming on week 10, the number of elements (n) must be 10.

a_{10}= 1.0+0.25(10-1)
a_{10}= 1.0+0.25(9)
a_{10}= 1.0+2.25
a_{10}= 3.25

7. Here, we just do the same thing as item #6 but this time we will consider Denise's explicit formula. Since we are also asked how far the students will be swimming on week 10, the number of elements would also be 10 and this would also be our value for n.

a_{10}= 1.0+0.5(10-1)
a_{10}= 1.0+0.5(9)
a_{10}= 1.0+4.5
a_{10}= 5.5

8. The answer for this question is obvious. You would just need to look at the 10th element in Ernest's and Denise's sequences and tell whose schedule had more than or equal to 5 as an answer. Following Ernest's schedule, you will just get 3.5 kilometers on the 10th week so it's definitely a no. Denise's schedule, on the other hand, would get you to 5.5 kilometers on week 10 so her training schedule should be followed.

Which box plot correctly displays the data set with a maximum of 48, a minimum of 27, a median of 36, an upper quartile of 45, a
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Image 1

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question, we need to know how to use a box plot.

I've attached an image that demonstrates this well and can teach you what each part of the box plot means.

Specifically, the 2 farthest dots at the end are the minimum and maximum. The two sides where the box starts are the lower and upper quartiles. Finally, the line in the middle of the box is the median.

With this, we can analyze each box plot and determine which one is correct.

<em><u>Box Plot 1: </u></em><em>Everything is plotted correctly- Maximum and minimum plotted correctly, median plotted correctly, upper and lower quartile plotted correctly.</em>

<u>Box Plot 2:</u> Everything plotted correctly EXCEPT maximum of 48 is represented at 46.

<u>Box Plot 3:</u> Everything plotted correctly EXCEPT the upper quartile of 45 is at 39.

<u>Box Plot 4:</u> Upper quartile represented at 39 and maximum represented at 46 are both incorrect.

The population of a town is decreasing at a rate of 3.2% per year. In 2015, there were 14,250 people. What is the first year tha
notsponge [240]
The answer is D
you would set up an equation like this
14,250 x .032
this will give you how much the population is decreasing per year. Which is 456 people per year.
You then take 2015 and find the difference between that number and 2025 and do it with all of the other years too.
For example 2025-2015 is 10 years
You then take 10 x 456 to tell you how much the of population you lost in those 10 years. You will then take that number which is 4,560 and do 14,250-4,560 to get 9,650.
