The question is incomplete so I am writing the complete question below and attaching the scatter plot as well.

The first metacarpal bone is located in the wrist. The scatterplot below shows the relationship between the length of the first metacarpal bone and height for 9 people. The line of best fit is also shown

How many of the nine people have an actual height that differs by more than 3 centimeters from the height predicted by the line of best fit?

Answer:

4 people have an actual height that differs by more than 3 cm from the height predicted by the line of best fit.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking us to identify which people have a height that is more than 3 cm greater or more than 3 cm less then the height predicted by the line of best fit. Hence, we need to look at the outliers of the line if best fit i.e. the points which do not lie on the line. We need to select the points that differ by 3 or more cm.

So, we can see that the first person (4 cm) has an actual height of 157 cm but the line of best fit shows the height is 161.5. So, there is a difference of more than 3 cm (161.5 - 157 = 4.5).

The second outlier at 4.3 has an actual height of 175 cm but the line of best fit shows a height of 167 cm. There is a difference of 8 cm hence this person also has an actual height which differs by more than 3 cm from the line of best fit.

At 4.8 cm metacarpal bone height, the person's actual height is 172 cm but the graph shows a height of 176 cm hence this person also has an actual height which differs by more than 3 cm from the line of best fit.

At 4.9 cm on the x-axis, the person has an actual height of 183 cm but the line of best fit shows 178 cm so this person also has an actual height which differs by more than 3 cm from the line of best fit.

So, in total there are 4 people out of 9 whose heights differ by more than 3 cm from the line of best fit.

I'm not sure what AAS,SAS,SSS,ASA mean .how do I solve this?​
notka56 [123]

Answer:

AAS is an acronym for Angle-Angle-Side. It basically means that if two angles and a nonincluded side of one triangle are congruent to two  angles and the corresponding nonincluded side of a second triangle, then  the two triangles are congruent. SAS is an acronym for Side-Angle-Side. It means that if two sides and the included angle of one triangle are congruent to two  sides and the included angle of a second triangle, then the two triangles  are congruent. SSS is an acronym for Side-Side-Side. It means that if three sides of one triangle are congruent to three sides of a second  triangle, then the two triangles are congruent. ASA is an acronym for Angle-Side-Angle. It means that if two angles and the included side of one triangle are congruent to two  angles and the included side of a second triangle, then the two triangles  are congruent.

In the problem, we know that the corresponding sides of both triangles are congruent to each other, so those would be given. The third side of each triangle would also be congruent because of reflexive property. Reflexive property means that the two triangles share a line segment. So, the answer would be SSS.

A box contains 10 green marbles and 11 white marbles. If the first marble chosen was a green marble, what is the probability of
Neko [114]

Answer:

11/20

Step-by-step explanation:

At the beginning, the number of marbles in the box are:

10 green marbles

11 white marbles

The first marble chosen is green, and then it is not replaced in the box. Therefore, the number of green marbles left in the box is 9.

Therefore, the total number of marbles left in the box is:

n=9+11=20

Now we want to find the probability to choose a white marble. The number of white marble is

w=11

Therefore, the probability of choosing a white marble is:

p(w)=\frac{w}{n}=\frac{11}{20}

<h3>Answer:  3.1691, 5.8, 5.802, 5.82</h3>

Explanation:

The smallest item is 3.1691 which is listed first. This is because 3 is smaller than 5.

Now to sort the values that start with 5.

Think of 5.82 as 5.820; think of 5.8 as 5.800

We can see that 820 is larger than 800, which means 5.820 is larger than 5.800; in short, 5.82 > 5.8

Through similar logic, we can see that 5.82 > 5.802 and it further means 5.82 is the largest item. The next largest is 5.802

The sub-list {5.802, 5.82, 5.8} sorts to {5.8, 5.802, 5.82}. These values are then written after the 3.1691 mentioned. This will produce the fully sorted list from smallest to largest.
