What is the statistical studies about?

The best data collection method for the first one oatmeal  and GMC students is survey because the population is large and opinions may differ.

The best data collection method for the cars  is Experiment as one needs to study the cars that pass the red lights

For one of the three studies, a census is possible in the first one because the study population is the Georgia which is very large.

For the two studies the one that a census is not needed is GMC students and cars at red light because the population is not too big.

Based on the study I will use 500 people, 200 students, or 300 cars and the  sampling technique would be Systematic sampling, Simple random sampling and Judgmental/purposive sampling.

calculates the sum of the first 8 terms of an arithmetic progression starting with 3/5 and ending with 1/4

Answers

We conclude that the sum of the first 8 terms of the arithmetic sequence is 17/5.

How to get the sum of the first 8 terms?

In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between any two consecutive terms is a constant.

Here we know that:

[tex]a_1 = 3/5\\a_8 = 1/4[/tex]

There are 7 times the common difference between these two values, so if d is the common difference:

[tex]a_1 + 7*d = a_8\\\\3/5 + 7*d = 1/4\\\\7*d = 1/4 - 3/5 = (5 - 12)/20 = -7/20\\\\d = -1/20[/tex]

Then the sum of the first 8 terms is given by:

[tex]3/5 + (3/5 - 1/20) + (3/5 - 2/20) + ... + (3/5 - 7/20)\\\\8*(3/5) - (1/20)*(1 + 2 + 3+ 4 + 5 + 6 + 7) = 3.4 = 34/10 = 17/5[/tex]

Question 2 Determine if (x-3) is a factor to the polynomial P(x) = 2x³ +5x²-28x - 15. (3 marks)​

Answers

Answer:

(x - 3) is a factor of P(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

if (x - 3) is a factor of P(x) then P(3) = 0

P(3) = 2(3)³ + 5(3)² - 28(3) - 15

      = 2(27) + 5(9) - 84 - 15

      = 54 + 45 - 99

      = 99 - 99

      = 0

since P(3) = 0 then (x - 3) is a factor of P(x)

Complete Question:

A rectangular prism has a length of 7 m, a height of 5 m, and a volume of 140 m³. What is the width? A prism has a length of 7 meters, width of w, and height of 5 meters.

Which steps are correct? Check all that apply.

a) Substitute the known values into the formula: 140 = 7(w)(5).

b) Substitute the known values into the formula: 7 = 140(w)(5).

c) Substitute the known values into the formula: 5 = 7(w)(140).

d) Solve for the unknown: w = 4 m.

e) Solve for the unknown: w = 7 m.

f) Solve for the unknown: w = 2 m.

Answer:

a) Substitute the known values into the formula: 140 = 7(w)(5).

d) Solve for the unknown: w = 4 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

The steps that are correct are Options a) and d). This is because:

Step 1

The volume of a rectangular prism is calculated as:

Volume of a rectangular prism = Length (l) × Width(w) × Height(h)

The unit of the volume or a rectangular prism is in cubic metres (m³)

In the question, we are asked to find the unknown value which is the width and we were given the following known values:

Length = 7 m,

Height = 5 m

Volume = 140 m³

Step 2

Solve for the unknown value( Width)

Volume of a rectangular prism = Length (L) × Width(W) × Height(H)

140m³ = 7m × Width(m) × 5m

140m³ = 35m² × Width(m)

Width(w) = 140m³ ÷ 35m²

Width(w) = 4m

Hence, the unknown Width(w) = 4m

From the above explanation we can see that the correct steps is Option a) and Option d)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of rectangular prism= Length x width x height

V=L x W x H

140=7 x W x 5

140= 35 x w

W= 140/35

W= 4

A motorboat travels 464 kilometers in 8 hours going upstream and 644 kilometers in 7 hours going downstream. What is the rate of the boat in still water and what is the rate of the current?

Rate of boat in still water ______km/h

Rate of current: _______ km/h

Answers

Let's say you are paddling at 5mph and the current is 3 mph. Going upstream, you are going 2 mph and downstream, 8 mph.

8(b - c) = 464

7(b + c) = 644

b - c = 58

b + c = 92

Adding the two together

2b = 150

b = 75

75 - c = 58

c = 17

The boat's speed is 75 mph and the current's speed is 17 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello there!

We have two methods to solve this problem.

Substitution methodElimination method.

We will limit ourself to Substitution method.

3x – 2y = -4.................... 1.

4x + 2y = 25................... 2.

First lets manipulate eq.2 in terms of y.

4x + 2y = 25

2y = 25 - 4x

y = 25/2 - 2x .............. eq.3

Substitute eq.3 into eq.1

3x – 2(25/2 -2x) = -4

Solve for x.

Opening the brackets

3x - 25 - 4x = -4

-x = 21

x = -21

Substitute x into equation 3

y = 25/2 - 2x

=> y = 25/2 - 2(-21)

= 54.5

In terms of x and y; (x,y)

= (-21, 54.5)

$7.40 per hour. How many hours did she work at each job the week that she made $158.40.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

a = hours at job A

b = hours at job B

a + b = 24

a = 24 - b

5.8a + 7.4b = 158.4

note we can use the a = 24 - b identity in the second equation :

5.8×(24 - b) + 7.4b = 158.4

139.2 - 5.8b + 7.4b = 158.4

1.6b = 19.2

b = 12 hours

a = 24 - b = 24 - 12 = 12 hours

she worked 12 hours on job A and 12 hours on job B.

how to find the value of x and z

Answers

Answer:

z = 86 °

and, x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a straight line is a 180 degree-angle. So, we know that

94 + z must equal 180, because they are the only two angles that make up the straight line.

from this information, (that 94 + z = 180) we can easily find z.

(this is typically an intuitive method of subtracting 94 from 180)

94   +   z   =   180

-94                  -94

z = 86 °

-- we know that the relation between z and (10x + 74) must also be equal to 180, as they make up a straight line

if z = 86, then we can know that (10x + 74) must be equal to

(10x + 74) + 86 =    180

                - 86        -86

(10x + 74) = 94

10x + 74 = 94

      - 74   - 74

  10 x     =    20

÷ 10            ÷ 10

     x    =   2

so, z = 86 °

and, x = 2
