Wesley will need 10 10-inch stones, and 9 5-inch stones.

Since he wants to begin and end the pattern with 10-inch stones, we put a 10 at the beginning and end.

10 5 10 5 10 5 10 5 10 5 10 5 10 5 10 5 10 5 10

10 x 10-inch = 100 inches
9 x 5-inch = 45 inches

100 + 45 = 145 inches

One sample has Aa Aa One sample has n 10 scores and a variance of s2 20, and a second sample has n 15 scores and a variance of s

siniylev [52]

Answer:

option (a) It will be closer to 30 than to 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

For sample 1:

n₁ = 10

variance, s₁² = 20

For sample 2:

n₂ = 15

variance, s₂² = 30

Now,

The pooled variance is calculated using the formula,

$S^{2}_{p} = \frac{(n_{1}-1)\times s^{2}_{1} +(n_{2}-1)\times s^{2}_{2}}{n_{1}+n_{2}-2}$

on substituting the given respective values, we get

$S^{2}_{p} = \frac{(10-1)\times 20 +(15-1)\times 30}{10+15-2}$

$S^{2}_{p}$ = 26.0869

Hence,

the pooled variance will be closer to 30 than to 20

Therefore,

The correct answer is option (a) It will be closer to 30 than to 20

To find the distance between (17,3) and (17,−5), Marcia used the following equation. Is Marcia correct? Explain. D=|3−(−5)|=8

Bumek [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the distance between two points is expressed as shown

D = √(x₂-x₁)²+(y₂-y₁)²

Given the coordinate (17,3) and (17,−5), from the coordinates x₁ = 17, y₁ = 3, x₂ = 17 and y₂ = -5.Substituting the values given into the formula;

D = √(17-17)²+(-5-3)²

D = √0²+(-8)²

D = √64

D = 8

According to the result gotten, it can concluded that Marcia is correct although she didn't use the right expression to calculate her distance. She should have taken the square root of the sum of the square of difference in the coordinates axis according to the formula used.
