Answer:

see below (I hope this helps!)

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we can clearly tell that a straightedge was used to create CD but that doesn't prove anything so we can eliminate the second and fourth options. Upon measuring the lengths of AC and CB, we see that they are equal so the answer is Yes; the compass was kept at the same width to create the arcs for points C and D. The reason why this is so important is because we know that AC = CB = BD = DA because the compass width is the same, so therefore, ACBD is a rhombus based on the definition of a rhombus. We know that the diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other and since CD and AB are diagonals, we know that CD bisects AB.

Consider the following regression model: Humidity = β0 + β1Temperature + β2Spring + β3Summer + β4Fall + β5Rain + ε, where the du

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

The regression equation for the winter rainy days is "Humidity = (β0 + β5) + β1Temperature".

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Humidity = β0 + β1Temperature + β2Spring + β3Summer + β4Fall + β5Rain + ε ...........(1)

Since there can be only one of spring, summer,fall, and winter at a point in time or in a season, we will have the following when there are winter rainy days:

Spring = 0

Summer = 0

Fall = 0

Rain = 1

Substituting all the relevant values into equation (1) and equating ε also to 0, a reduced form of equation (1) can be obtained as follows:

Humidity = β0 + β1Temperature + (β2 * 0) + (β3 * 0) + (β4 * 0) + (β5 * 1) + 0

Humidity = β0 + β1Temperature + 0 + 0 + 0 + β5 + 0

Humidity = (β0 + β5) + β1Temperature

Therefore, the regression equation for the winter rainy days is "Humidity = (β0 + β5) + β1Temperature".

Here is the scale model of a fountain at a museum the scale is 1:30 how many boulders are in the real fountain

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

When we do a scale model of something (like a building, a house, or whatever) al the properties of the original thing must also be in the model.

So for example, you want to do a model of a house, and in the backyard of the house there are 4 trees, then in the model of the house you also need to put 4 trees in the backyard (indifferent of the scale of the model).

Then the number of boulders in the really fountain should be the same as the number of boulders in the scale model of the fountain.

How many ounces of pure nickel must be added to 150 ounces of alloy 70% pure to make an alloy which is 85% pure?

galben [10]

Answer:

150 oz.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are already 150 ounces of alloy of nickel.

Of this 150 oz, 70% is pure i.e. nickel content = 150(0.7) = 105 oz
