Problem 1
<h3>Answer: 7.3</h3>
Explanation: Apply the square root to the area to get the side length. This only applies to areas that are squares (hence the name).
==================================================
Problem 2
<h3>Answer: C) 1.3</h3>
Explanation: Use your calculator to find that choices A,B,D plugged into the square root function yield terminating decimal values. "Terminating" means "stop". This implies that they are perfect squares (though not perfect squares in the sense of whole number perfect squares which you may be used to). Choice C is the only value that has a square root that leads to a non-terminating decimal. The digits of this decimal go on forever without any pattern. The value is irrational.
- sqrt(5.29) = 2.3 terminating decimal
- sqrt(13.69) = 3.7 terminating decimal
- sqrt(1.3) = 1.140175425 keeps going forever without any pattern
- sqrt(0.09) = 0.3 terminating decimal
==================================================
Problem 3
<h3>Answer: 23.6 feet approximately</h3>
Explanation: Apply the square root to 15.5 to get roughly 3.937; this is the approximate side length of one square. Six of these tiles placed together will lead to a total length of roughly 6*3.937 = 23.622 which rounds to 23.6 feet. Like with problem 1, the square root being used like this only works for square areas.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
n = 400
Proportion p = 229/400= 0.5725
For 95% confidence interval we use Z value as 1.96
Std error = 0.025
margin of error = 1.96*0.025
Confidence interval 95% = 0.5725±Margin of error
= (0.524, 0.621)
b) When smiled x becomes 277
p = 0.6925
Std error = 0.023
Margin of error= 1.96*0.023
Confidence interval = (0.647, 0.738)
Smiling increases the chances of stopping since mean and conidence interval bounds are showing increasing trend.
Answer: 17/60
Step-by-step explanation:
Change all of the fractions to have a common denominator:
LCM of 10, 12, 15 is 60
You get 12/60, 25/60, and 54/60.
54/60 is what he had at the start, and so you can just subtract what he gave away
54/60-12/60=42/60
42/60-25/60=17/60
17 is a prime number so you cannot simplify the fraction
Y>0 because raising a number to a negative power doesn't make it negative
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the area of a trapezoid is: 
(height)(sum of parallel lines)
Thus, the formula in this question would be: (4)(4+8) which is option C
