Insect Weights Consider a dataset giving the adult weight of species of insects. Most species of insects weigh less than 5 grams

, but there are a few species that weigh a great deal, including the largest insect known: the rare and endangered Giant Weta from New Zealand, which can weigh as much as 71 grams. Is the shape of the distribution symmetric, skewed to the right, or skewed to the left

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

71 grams would definitely be an outlier on the high side, whereas "most" species would weigh much less.  Thus, the graph of this distribution of weights would be skewed towards the lower side, that is, to the left.

which of the following are among the five basic postulates of euclidean geometry? check all that apply
MAVERICK [17]
The five essential hypothesizes of Geometry, additionally alluded to as Euclid's proposes are the accompanying: 
1.) A straight line section can be drawn joining any two focuses. 
2.) Any straight line portion can be expanded uncertainly in a straight line. 
3.) Given any straight line fragment, a circle can be drawn having the portion as a span and one endpoint as the inside. 
4.) All correct points are harmonious. 
5.) If two lines are drawn which meet a third such that the total of the internal points on one side is under two right edges (or 180 degrees), then the two lines unavoidably should converge each other on that side if reached out sufficiently far.

Consider this system of equations. Which shows the second equation written in slope-intercept form? y = 3 x minus 2. 10 (x + thr
Arte-miy333 [17]

Question

Consider this system of equations. Which shows the second equation written in slope-intercept form?

y = 3x - 2.

10(x + \frac{3}{5} ) = 2y

A. y = 5x + \frac{3}{10}

B. y = 5x + 3

C. y = \frac{1}{5} x + \frac{3}{25}

D. y = \frac{1}{2} x + 6

Answer:

B. y = 5x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Equation 1: y = 3x - 2.

Equation 2: 10(x + \frac{3}{5} ) = 2y

Required:

Equivalent of equation 2

To get an equivalent of equation 2 (in slope intercept form), first we have to simplify equation 2

10(x + \frac{3}{5} ) = 2y

Open the bracket

10*x + 10 *\frac{3}{5} = 2y

10x + \frac{30}{5} = 2y

Simplify fraction

10x + 6 = 2y

Divide through by 2

\frac{10x}{2}  + \frac{6}{2} = \frac{2y}{2}

5x + 3 = y

Re-arrange

y = 5x + 3

The next step is to compare each of option A through D with y = 5x + 3

A.

y = 5x + \frac{3}{10} is not equal to y = 5x + 3

We check the next available option

B.

y = 5x + 3 is equal to y = 5x + 3

This option is equivalent to the second equation in slope-intercept form.

We check further if there are more equivalent options

C.

y = \frac{1}{5} x + \frac{3}{25}

Convert fraction to decimal

y = 0.2x + 0.12

This is not equal to y = 5x + 3

D.

y = \frac{1}{2} x + 6

Convert fraction to decimal

y = 0.5x + 6

This is not equal to y = 5x + 3

Hence, the only equation that is equivalent to the second equation written in slope intercept form is Option B

Which statements are true about the location of 3.28 on the number line? Check all that apply. A number line from 1.2 to 4.2. 3.
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

- 3.28 should be plotted between 3.2 and 3.4

- 3.28 is closer to 3.0 than 4.0.

- 3.28 is closer to 3.2 than 3.4.

Step-by-step explanation:

3.28 is located towards the positive side of the number line being a positive value. Since the value is located between 3.2 and 3.4, therefore it can be plotted between this two points.

Also 3.28 is known to be closer to 3.0 than 4.0 because the difference between 3.28 and 3.0 is lower than the difference between 3.28 and 4.

4-3.28 = 0.72(larger value)

3.28-3.0 = 0.28 (smaller value)

The smaller the difference, the closer the value of 3.28 to the value in consideration.

Similarly, 3.28 is closer to 3.2 than 3.4, due to their differences. The difference between 3.28 and 3.2 is lower than the difference between 3.28 and 3.4 as shown:

3.28 - 3.2 = 0.08(smaller)

3.4-3.28 = 0.12(larger)

What is the value of the 19th term in the sequence -1, -5, -9, ...?
Ivanshal [37]
-5 -(-1) = -5+1= -4
and
-9 -(-5) = -9+5 = -4

we observe that the number are in AP

of the AP -
ist term = -1
common difference = -4
19th term = -1 + (19-1)(-4)= -1 -72 = -73
