Rebecca collected data from a random sample of 500 homeowners in her state asking whether or not they use electric heat. Based o

n the results, she reports that 51% of the homeowners in the nation use electric heat. Why is this statistic misleading?

Answer:

She makes conclusion about a population that is not well represented by the sample.

Step-by-step explanation:

The conclusion she is making is about a population that is not well represented by her sample: the population is the homeowners in the nation, but the sample is made of homeowners or only her state.

The population about which she can make conclusions with this sample is the homeowners of her state, given that the sampling is done right.

A rectangle has an area of 36 inches squared. Write an equation to show how the length (l) varies inversely the width (w).
Anastaziya [24]
Start with the first sentence, and the definition of the area of a rectangle:
l * w = 36

Rewrite the equation to get
l = 36 / w
or
w = 36 / l
Either one shows the inverse relationship between w and l.

Assuming the last part wants you to write an equation for an x-y graph, the equation would be
y = 36 / x

Mary has some boxes that are all cubes of the same size she uses 5 of the boxes to make a tower with a height of 115 cm she puts
liberstina [14]

Answer:

161 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total height, we need to find the wait of each individual box. Since we have five boxes stacked up on each other with a height of 115, we can divide 115 by 5 to get 23. Now that we know that each box is 23 centimeters tall, we can multiply that by 2 because 2 more boxes were added, and then add that to 115.

115/5=23

23*2=46

46+115=161

Hope this helps!

Three trigonometric functions for a given angle are shown below. cosecant theta = thirteen-twelfths; secant theta = Negative thi
Kay [80]

Answer:

(–5, 12) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following values:

cosec\theta = \dfrac{13}{12}\\sec\theta=-\dfrac{13}{5}\\cot\theta =-\dfrac{5}{12}

Now, we know the following identities:

sin \theta = \dfrac{1}{cosec\theta}\\cos \theta = \dfrac{1}{sec\theta}\\tan \theta = \dfrac{1}{cot\theta}

Now, the values are:

sin\theta = \dfrac{12}{13}\\cos\theta=-\dfrac{5}{13}\\tan\theta =-\dfrac{12}{5}

Sine value is positive and cos, tan values are negative.

It can be clearly observed that \theta is in 2nd quadrant.

2nd quadrant means, the value of x will be negative and y will be positive.

Let us have a look at the value of tan\theta:

tan\theta  = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}\\OR\\tan\theta  = \dfrac{y-coordinate}{x-coordinate} = -\dfrac{12}{5}\\\therefore y = 12,\\x = -5

Please refer to the attached image for clear understanding and detailed explanation.

Hence, the correct answer is coordinate (x,y) is (–5, 12)

Sitting at the edge of a cliff, you throw a stone vertically upward with a velocity of 30 m/s. The height of the stone above the
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The function  f(t) = 3t − 0.5t² is the height of the motion of the stone in 10m units

And it's initial velocity is 30m/s

u=30m/s

Using calculation

Let find it turning point

f(t) = 3t − 0.5t²

Then, f'(t) =3-t

f(t)=0

So, 0=3-t

Then t=3secs

So let know the inflection point to show if t=3secs is the maximum point or minimum point

Then, we need second integral of f(t)

f'(t) = 3 − t

f''(t)=-1

Since f''(t) is negative this shows that the point is the maximum point

So at t=3secs is the maximum point,

So now to know the maximum point

f(t) = 3t − 0.5t²

t=3secs

f(t)=3(3)-0.5(3)²

f(t)=9-4.5

f(t)=4.5m

Since f(t) is in 10m units

Then,

The height is f(t) =10×4.5

f(t) =45m

Then the maximum height of the stone is 45m and the time to reach the maximum height is t=3secs

Now, Using equation of motion

Time to reach max height.

v=u-gt.   Upward motion g=9.81m/s2

Final velocity is v=0m/s

0=30-9.81t

-30=-9.81t

t=-30/-9.81

t=3.06secs

t=3.1secs.  To 1d.p

If we have used g=10m/s², it will have the same value as the graph and the maximum and minimum point calculation

Maximum height, using equation of motion

v²=u²-2gH

0²=30²-2×9.81H

-30²=-19.62H

Then,

H=-30²/-19.62

H=45.87

a. From the graph it shows that the maximum value of the is 4.5m at time t=3secs

b. Now, the maximum height of stone as shown on the graph is 4.5m

And since is 10 meter unit scale

Then the height becomes 4.5×10

Maximum height is 45m.

c. The stone will spend two times the time it uses to reach t maximum height to return to the height of the cliff

Time to return back to the cliff is

T=2t

T=2×3

T=6secs

d. If the stone hits the ground after t=7secs

So after the ball reached a maximum height of 45m, he has spent 3secs, so we can calculate the distance the stone travelled from the maximum to the ground

The time is of travel will be 4secs

Then,

Initial velocity is 0, from the point of return at rhe maximum height

S=ut+½gt²

S=0+½×9.81×4²

S=78.48m

So the total distance from the maximum height down to the bottom of the cliff is 78.48m

Then, the height of the cliff is the height from the maximum height to the bottom of the cliff minus the maximum height reach by the stone

Then,

H(cliff)=78.48-45.87

H(cliff)=33.48m

From the graph

At t=7secs

The stone is at a distance of -3.5m

Showing that the height of the cliff

Since it is of 10m units

Then the height of the cliff is

3.5×10=35m

Also

f(t) = 3t − 0.5t² at t=7secs

F(7)=3(7)-0.5(7)²

F(7)=21-0.5×49

F(7)=21-24.5

Then,

f(7)=-3.5m

This shows the downward motion

Since it is 10m unit

The the height of cliff downward is

3.5×10=35m

Height of cliff =35m
