Answer:

The correct option is;

D. 6,5

Step-by-step explanation:

TS and TU are midsegments

Segment PR = 18.2

Segment TS = 6.5

Given that TS is the midsegment of PR and PQ, therefore, TS = 1/2×QR

Which gives;

Segment QR = 2×TS = 2 × 6.5 = 13

Segment QR = 13

Given that TU is a midsegment to PQ and QR, we have that QU = UR

Segment QR = QU + UR (segment addition postulate)

Therefore, QR = QU + QU (substitute property of equality)

Which gives;

QR = 2×QU

13 = 2×QU

Segment QU = 13/2 = 6.5

The length of segment QU is 6.5.

After calculating the sample size needed to estimate a population proportion to within 0.05, you have been told that the maximum

Svetlanka [38]

Answer: 40000

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the sample size is given by :-

$n=p(1-p)(\dfrac{z_{\alpha/2}}{E})^2$ , where p is the prior estimate of the population proportion.

Here we can see that the sample size is inversely proportion withe square of margin of error.

i.e. $n\ \alpha\ \dfrac{1}{E^2}$

By the equation inverse variation, we have

$n_1E_1^2=n_2E_2^2$

Given : $E_1=0.05$ $n_1=1000$

$E_2=0.025$

Then, we have

$(1000)(0.05)^2=n_2(0.025)^2\\\\\Rightarrow\ 2.5=0.000625n_2\\\\\Rightarrow\ n_2=\dfrac{2.5}{0.000625}=4000$

Hence, the sample size will now have to be 4000.

A sculpture of a clothespin is 20 feet high. A normal clothespin of this shape is five inches high. Using this scale, how many f

kodGreya [7K]

This is the concept of scale factor. The linear scale factor is given by:
(height of sculpture)/(height of clothespin)
=20/(5/12)
=48
Given that a woman is 5ft 7 in, the sculpture of this woman would be:
height of sculpture=(scale factor)*(height of the woman)
height of the woman=5 ft 7 inches=5 7/12 ft=67/12 ft
hence the height of the sculpture will be:
67/12×48
=268 ft

Answer: 268 ft

Xelga [282]

Answer:

A, C, E

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table you can see that the water depth cahnges

$0.8-0.4=1.2-0.8=1.6-1.2=2.0-1.6=0.4\ in$

for every

$4-2=6-4=8-6=10-8=2\ in$ of snow (option B is false).

This means that the function modelling this situation is linear function (option A is true and option D is false). Let the equation of this function be $y=ax+b.$ Then

$0.4=2a+b,\\ \\0.8=4a+b.$

Subtract these two equations:

$2a=0.8-0.4,\\ \\2a=0.4,\\ \\a=0.2.$

Hence,

$b=0.4-2\cdot 0.2=0.$

The equation of the straight line (the graph of linear function) is $y=0.2x.$ (option E is true) This line passes through the point (0,0), because its coordinates satisfy the equation (option C is true).
