(−5+7×1)−9×5

(−5+7)−45

2-45

-43

What is the approximate volume of a cone with a height of 12 in. and radius of 9 in.?

swat32

The answer would be 1017.88 in³. Use the volume for cones ( 1/3 times pi times radius times height) so 1/3*3.14*9*12 in which would be 1017.88 in³ hope it helps!

Data were collected on random specimens of Yellowfin tuna from 1991 and 2010. For the sample of 231 specimens of Yellowfin tuna,

Molodets [167]

Answer:

95% confidence interval: (0.325 ,0.383)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample size, n = 231

Sample mean = 0.354 ppm

Sample standard deviation = 0.231 ppm

95% confidence interval:

$\bar{x} \pm t_{critical}\displaystyle\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$

Putting the values, we get,

$t_{critical}\text{ at degree of freedom 4 and}~\alpha_{0.01} = \pm 1.97$

$0.354 \pm 1.97(\dfrac{0.231}{\sqrt{231}} ) = 0.354 \pm 0.029 = (0.325 ,0.383)$

Suppose the average yearly salary of an individual whose final degree is a master's is $41 thousand less than twice that of an

alexdok [17]

Answer:N/B The amount is in thousands

The total amount earned by a Bachelor's person be $x:

amount earned by a masters person will be $(2x-38)

Total amount earned by the two individuals will be:

x+(2x-38)=115

solving for x we get:

x+2x-38=115

3x=115+38

3x=153

x=153/3

x=51

also:

2x-38=2*51-38=64

therefore we conclude that master's individual earns average of $ 64,000 while the Bachelor's individual earns $51,000.

Rectangle A measures 10 inches by 8 inches. Rectangle B is an enlarged copy of Rectangle A. Select all of the measurement pairs

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Rectangle A:

$Length: 10\ in$

$Width: 8\ in$

Required

Determine the possible dimensions of Rectangle B

The question has missing options; however, the question can still be solved.

Rectangle B being an enlarged copy of A implies that the dimension of A A is enlarged in equal proportion to form B

Take for instance, the measurements of Rectangle B are

$Length: 15 in$

$Width: 12 in$

Divide the corresponding lengths of B by A to get the enlargement ratio

$Ratio = \frac{B}{A}$

For length:

$Ratio = \frac{15}{10}$

$Ratio = 1.5$

For width

$Ratio = \frac{12}{8}$

$Ratio = 1.5$

Notice that both ratios are the same.

For this measurement of B, we can conclude that B is an enlargement of A

Assume another measurements for B

$Length: 20\ in$

$Width: 10\ in$

Calculate Ratios

$Ratio = \frac{B}{A}$

For length:

$Ratio = \frac{20}{10}$

$Ratio = 2$

For width

$Ratio = \frac{10}{8}$

$Ratio = 1.25$

Notice that, both ratios are not equal.

For this measurement of B, we can conclude that B is not an enlargement of A

Conclusively, all you have to do is: determine the ratios of the dimensions of B to A, if the result are equal then B is an enlarged copy of A; if otherwise, then B is not an enlarged copy

Which of the following describes the following graph?

pychu [463]

Answer:

The correct answer option is B. both a function and a relation.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a from from which we can see that for each input we have exactly one output.

This means that we have a function because each element in the domain is matched with exactly one element in the range.

It is also a relation since each input related to the out put in some way.

Therefore, the correct answer option is B. both a function and a relation,
