Answer:

The correct option is;

C. She should go back and remeasure all of her specimens again to find the error. If she can't do this, she should eliminate the outlier from the analysis, because this is an error in recording

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to minimize error in measurement, some valuable steps includes;

1) Perform a double check on all measurements to ensure that the measurements recorded are accurate

2) Ensure proper training before taking measurements

3) Measurements should only be taken under controlled conditions

4) Separate the entire population into smaller groups for proper recording

5) Have a second observer double check the records

Mattie uses the discriminant to determine the number of zeros the q
enot [183]

Answer:for ax^2+bx+c=0 the discriminant is b^2-4ac

there are 3 basic cases of what happens for different discriminants

1. if the discriminant is less than 0, then there are no real zeroes

2. if the discriminant is 0, then it has 1 zero

3. if the discriminant is greater than 0, it has 2 zeroes

so given

0=3x^2-7x+4

a=3,b=-7,c=4

thus the discriminant is (-7)^2-4(3)(4)=49-48=1

the discriminant is 1. 1 is positive, thus the equation has 2 zeroes because the discriminant is greater than 0

the answer is the equation has two zeroes because the discriminant is greater than 0

How many sequences of 0s and 1s of length 19 are there that begin with a 0, end with a 0, contain no two consecutive 0s, and con
sladkih [1.3K]

65 sequences.

Lets solve the problem,

The last term is 0.

To form the first 18 terms, we must combine the following two sequences:

0-1 and 0-1-1

Any combination of these two sequences will yield a valid case in which no two 0's and no three 1's are adjacent

So we will combine identical 2-term sequences with identical 3-term sequences to yield a total of 18 terms, we get:

2x + 3y = 18

Case 1: x=9 and y=0

Number of ways to arrange 9 identical 2-term sequences = 1

Case 2: x=6 and y=2

Number of ways to arrange 6 identical 2-term sequences and 2 identical 3-term sequences =8!6!2!=28=8!6!2!=28

Case 3: x=3 and y=4

Number of ways to arrange 3 identical 2-term sequences and 4 identical 3-term sequences =7!3!4!=35=7!3!4!=35

Case 4: x=0 and y=6

Number of ways to arrange 6 identical 3-term sequences = 1

Total ways = Case 1 + Case 2 + Case 3 + Case 4 = 1 + 28 + 35 + 1 = 65

Hence the number of sequences are 65.

What is the value of h in the equation 8h = 60
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

h= 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

8h=60

One solution was found :

                  h = 15/2 = 7.500

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    8*h-(60)=0

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Pulling out like terms :

1.1     Pull out like factors :

  8h - 60  =   4 • (2h - 15)

Equation at the end of step  1  :

Step  2  :

Equations which are never true :

2.1      Solve :    4   =  0

This equation has no solution.

A a non-zero constant never equals zero.

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

2.2      Solve  :    2h-15 = 0

Add  15  to both sides of the equation :

                     2h = 15

Divide both sides of the equation by 2:

                    h = 15/2 = 7.500

One solution was found :

                  h = 15/2 = 7.500

Write the equation of the line in point slope form that passes through (-1, -2) and ( 1, 4).
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

y+2= 3(x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to find slope by using y2-y1/x2-x1

you should get 3 for your slope(m)

Them you chose any point iḿ using (-1, -2)

The formula for point slope form is...

y-y1=m(x-x1)

plug those numbers in and you get

y + 2 = 3(x + 1)
