Sharon wants to estimate the percentage of parents that use cloth diapers. She asks a randomly selected group of 75 parents whet

her or not they use cloth diapers. What is the population?

Answer: Parents.

Step-by-step explanation:

In statistics , a population is a large group of similar things or members by researcher's perspective from that he/ she draw a finite subset also known as sample to follow his / her research.

Here, Sharon wants to estimate the percentage of parents that use cloth diapers.

i.e.Researcher = Sharon

Since Sharon will reach parents about her objective of whether they use cloth diapers.

So , Population = Parents

If She asks a randomly selected group of 75 parents whether or not they use cloth diapers , then Sample size is 75 .

Therefore, the population is : "Parents."

this past Sunday, the giants scored 9 less than twice the cowboys. the packers scored 14 points more than the giants. if the tea

Grace [21]

Let the score of cowboys is x
and giants make score 9 which is twice less than the cowboys score so
giants score will be = 2x -9
and packers scored 14 more than giants that is (2x - 9) + 14
now sum of their scores is equal to 81 it means:
x + (2x - 9) + (2x -9) + 14 = 81
x + 2x - 9 + 2x - 9 + 14 = 81
5x = 81 + 4
5x = 85
x = 17
packers scored = (2x - 9) + 14
= 2 (17) -9 + 14
=38 + 5 = 43 points

In 154 N38 what digit should be replaced to N to make the number divisible by 3,6 and 9?

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

$N = 6$ so that number becomes divisible by 3, 6 and 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Number Theory there is a rule of thumb which states that sum of digits of a multiple of 3 equal 3 or a multiple of three. If we know that $n = 154N38$ , then its sum of digits is:

$x = 1 + 5+4+N+3+8$

$x = 21+N$ (Eq. 1)

We have to determine which digits corresponds to multiples of three, there are four digits:

N = 0

$x = 21+0$

$x = 21$ ( $3\times 7 = 21$ )

N = 3

$x = 21+3$

$x = 24$ ( $3\times 8 = 24$ )

N = 6

$x = 21+6$

$x = 27$ ( $3\times 9 = 27$ )

N = 9

$x = 21+9$

$x = 30$ ( $3\times 10 = 30$ )

We get the following four distinct options: 154038, 154338, 154638, 154938. Now we find which number is divisible by 6 and 9 by factor decomposition:

$154038 = 2\times 3\times 25673$

$154338 =2\times 3\times 29 \times 887$

$154638 = 2\times 3\times 3\times 11\times 11\times 71$

$154938 = 2\times 3\times 7\times 7\times 17\times 31$

It is quite evident that $N = 6$ so that number becomes divisible by 3, 6 and 9.

An albatross is a large bird that can fly 400 kilometers in 8 hours at a constant speed. Using d for distance in kilometers and

uranmaximum [27]

We are given relation between distance( in kilometers) travelled and number of hours taken by an Albatross bird.

Distance in kilometers taken by variable d.

Number of hours by t.

And situation is given d=50t.

We know, direct relation formula y= kx read as y is directly proportional to x. And k is the constants of proportionality.

In the given fuction y is taken by variable d and x is taken by variable t.

If we compare d=50t by y = mx, the value of k is 50.

Therefore, constant of proportionality is 50.

Constant is a number that never change it's value.

Therefore, constant of proportionality is just 50.

But we can say variables d and t are two variables those are directly proportional to each other.

Constant of proportionality is actually unit rate of change.

For the given situation constant of proportionality is the number of km travelled in per unit time (in 1 hour.)

If we divide 400km 8 hours, we get 400/8 = 50 km per hour.

Therefore, variables of proporation are d and t and relation between them is " they are directly proportional to each other".

And the constants of proportionality is just 50.

An investment fund starts at $0 and grows at a rate of $100 per month. Another fund starts at $4000 and reduces by $720 per year

Pie

Answer: 2 years 1 month

Step-by-step explanation:

2 years 1 month at $100 a month = $2,500

$720 x 2 years = $1,440

$720 / 12 months = $60

$1,440 + $60 = $1,500

$4,000 - $1,500 = $2,500

A graph represents the perimeter ,y, in units for an equilateral triangle with the side lengths x units. The slope of the line i

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

see the explanation

The graph in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The correct question is</em></u>

Explain what the slope and intercept mean in each situation.

A graph represents the perimeter,y, in units, for an equilateral triangle with side length x units. The slope of the line is 3 and the y-intercept is 0

we know that

The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

In this problem

y is the perimeter in units

x is the side length of a equilateral triangle

we have

$m=3\\b=0$

substitute

The linear equation is

$y=3x$ ---> Is a proportional relationship because the line passes through the origin

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

The slope is ---> $m=\frac{3}{1}\frac{units}{unit}$

That means

The ratio of perimeter of triangle to side length of triangle is 3:1

The y-intercept is 0

Remember that

The y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero

In this context

The y-intercept is the value of the perimeter when the value of the side length is equal to zero

so

The value of the perimeter is 0 when the value of side length is 0
