The right answer is:

area B = area C

We can solve this problem by using Kepler's laws of planetary motion. There are three Kepler's laws. In this exercise, we need to use the second law. According to this law, a line segment joining a planet and the sun sweeps out equals areas during equals intervals of time. So, a certain planet sweeps out an area B from the point P3 to P4 in an interval of time t. On the other hand, for the same interval of time t, the planet sweeps out an area C from point P4 to P5, that is equal to the previous area according to second kepler's law.

Kepler giscovered that area B = area C because they have the same time interval..

Lisa has $150 at most to spend on clothes. She wants to buy a pair of jeans for $58 and will spend the rest on t-shirts that cos

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

14t + 58 ≤ 150

Step-by-step explanation:

If she cannot spend more than what she has, which is 150, the inequality sign has to be "less than or equal to". It's ok if she spends less than 150, but not ok if she spends more, because she doesn't have it to spend.

We know the cost of 1 pair of jeans is 58. Now she wants to make up the difference by getting as many $14 shirts as possible (the number of shirts being our unknown).

That means that the cost of the jeans PLUS the unknown number of shirts cannot exceed 150.

Therefore, the inequality is:

14t + 58 ≤ 150

Tarush is a landscape architect. For his first public project he is asked to create a small scale drawing of a garden to be plac

Lunna [17]

Answer:

See the attached figure 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is as shown at the attached figure 1.

given: The garden is a right triangle with base 10 m and height 15 m.

We need to draw the garden such that 1 unit on the grid represents 2 m.

So the scale factor is 1 unit = 2 m

base = 10 m = 10/2 = 5 units

height = 15 m = 15/2 = 7.5 units

So, the garden on the grid will be a right triangle with base 5 units and height 7.5 units.

See the attached figure.

saul85 [17]

Answer: Annabelle is using the a measure of central tendency defined as the Mode.

Step-by-step explanation: A measure of central tendency in its simplest definition is a single value or measure that can safely be used to represent all members belonging to an entire set of given data. Hence, as a good illustration, one figure can be used to confidently represent all other ninety nine figures where a set of one hundred figures were given.

The mean, median and mode are commonly accepted measures of central tendency.

The mode is the most frequently occurring value in a given set of data. As such, the modal value is statistically acceptable as a representative of the entire set of values or data.

If Annabelle measures the sides of 15 right triangles and based on her observations, she concludes that for any right triangle the sum of the squares of the two legs is equal to the square of the hypotenuse, what she has done is taking the most frequently occurring value, and in her experiment, the most frequent of all observed data satisfies the Pythagorean Theorem.

That is why Annabelle can confidently make her assumption.

An electrical firm manufactures light bulbs that have a length of life that is approximately normally distributed, with mean equ

kompoz [17]

Answer:

0.62% probability that a random sample of 16 bulbs will have an average life of less than 775 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , a large sample size can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

Normal probability distribution.

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 800, \sigma = 40, n = 16, s = \frac{40}{\sqrt{16}} = 10$
