Answer:

this is from apex

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Which option did you choose? Discuss with another student why you made the choice you made. (1 point)

Troposphere (above the surface) because it looks simpler.

what do you know? the upper crust of the Earth is the layer extending 10 to 40 km beneath the surface. The surface temperature averages 15 degrees Celsius and increases 25 degrees Celsius with each kilometer of depth

what do you want to find out? The range of temperatures I would expect to encounter while traveling within the boundaries of the upper crust.

what answers do you expect to find? a range of temperatures (duh).

Writing an Equation

2. Define the variables you will use in your equation. (1 point)

Let one variable be the distance away from the surface and the other variable be the temperature.

D for distance and T for temperature.

The y-intercept is the starting position at Earth's surface. The coordinates of the y-intercept are (0, the temperature at Earth's surface).

3. What is the b-value of the y-intercept for your equation? (1 point)

15, I finally figured it out after 2 days lol.

The slope is the rate of change for temperature.

If the temperature increases (gets hotter) as the distance from the surface increases, then the slope is positive.

If the temperature decreases (gets colder) as the distance from the surface increases, then the slope is negative.

4. What is the slope of your equation? (1 point)

the slope of my equation is... positive!

5. Write an equation that models the relationship between your variables. (1 point)

umm, let's see... y= 25x+15 with x being each kilometer down from the surface temp. (15).

or if you just need the "equation" equation, then its y=mx+b

Interpreting the Equation

6. Identify and explain what each term represents in the temperature model.

a) The slope (1 point)

b) The y-intercept (1 point)

Graph the line

7. Identify three points on your line. (1 point)

(10,265) (11,290) (12,315)

8. Using the coordinates from question 7, calculate the slope of your line. Does it match the slope from your model? (2 points)

the slope of my line is 25, just like in my model. (wow magical)

Graph the Equation

9. On the graph below, plot the points and sketch your line. (4 points: 1 for each graphed point, 1 for the line)

see attachment.

Find the Temperature Range

10. Complete the sentence for your layer. (1 point)

The upper crust is the region that starts at Earth's surface and ends between 10 km and 40 km below the Earth's surface.

Use the temperature equation to find the temperature range for your layer.

range: between 265 degrees Celsius and 1015 degrees Celsius. (10km - 40 km)

11. What is the temperature at the end of your layer that is farthest from the surface? (1 point)

1015 degrees celsius.

In the derivation of the quadratic formula by completing the square, the equation (x+b over 2a)^2=-4ac+b^2 over 4a^2 is created

vredina [299]

Answer:

The result of applying the square root property of equality to this equation is $x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided equation.

$\left(x+\dfrac{b}{2a}\right)^2=\dfrac{-4ac+b^2}{4a^2}$

As the above equation is formed by perfect square trinomial so simply applying the square root property as shown:

$\sqrt{(x+\dfrac{b}{2a})^2}=\pm \dfrac{\sqrt{-4ac+b^2}}{\sqrt{4a^2}}\\x+\dfrac{b}{2a}=\pm \dfrac{\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Isolate the variable x.

$x=-\dfrac{b}{2a}\pm \dfrac{\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Hence, the result of applying the square root property of equality to this equation is $x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ .

The average annual amount American households spend for daily transportation is $6312 (Money, August 2001). Assume that the amou

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

(a) The standard deviation of the amount spent is $3229.18.

(b) The probability that a household spends between $4000 and $6000 is 0.2283.

(c) The range of spending for 3% of households with the highest daily transportation cost is $12382.86 or more.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the average annual amount American households spend on daily transportation is $6312 (Money, August 2001). Assume that the amount spent is normally distributed.

(a) It is stated that 5% of American households spend less than $1000 for daily transportation.

Let X = <u><em>the amount spent on daily transportation</em></u>

The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;

Z = $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = average annual amount American households spend on daily transportation = $6,312

$\sigma$ = standard deviation

Now, 5% of American households spend less than $1000 on daily transportation means that;

P(X < $1,000) = 0.05

P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ < $\frac{\$1000-\$6312}{\sigma}$ ) = 0.05

P(Z < $\frac{\$1000-\$6312}{\sigma}$ ) = 0.05

In the z-table, the critical value of z which represents the area of below 5% is given as -1.645, this means;

$\frac{\$1000-\$6312}{\sigma}=-1.645$

$\sigma=\frac{-\$5312}{-1.645}$ = 3229.18

So, the standard deviation of the amount spent is $3229.18.

(b) The probability that a household spends between $4000 and $6000 is given by = P($4000 < X < $6000)

P($4000 < X < $6000) = P(X < $6000) - P(X $\leq$ $4000)

P(X < $6000) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ < $\frac{\$6000-\$6312}{\$3229.18}$ ) = P(Z < -0.09) = 1 - P(Z $\leq$ 0.09)

= 1 - 0.5359 = 0.4641

P(X $\leq$ $4000) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ $\leq$ $\frac{\$4000-\$6312}{\$3229.18}$ ) = P(Z $\leq$ -0.72) = 1 - P(Z < 0.72)

= 1 - 0.7642 = 0.2358

Therefore, P($4000 < X < $6000) = 0.4641 - 0.2358 = 0.2283.

(c) The range of spending for 3% of households with the highest daily transportation cost is given by;

P(X > x) = 0.03 {where x is the required range}

P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ > $\frac{x-\$6312}{3229.18}$ ) = 0.03

P(Z > $\frac{x-\$6312}{3229.18}$ ) = 0.03

In the z-table, the critical value of z which represents the area of top 3% is given as 1.88, this means;

$\frac{x-\$6312}{3229.18}=1.88$

${x-\$6312}=1.88\times 3229.18$

x = $6312 + 6070.86 = $12382.86

So, the range of spending for 3% of households with the highest daily transportation cost is $12382.86 or more.

Suppose you have a litter of mice which consists of 8 males and 4 females. If you randomly grab two of them, what is the probabi

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

The probability that they are both male is 0.424 (3 d.p.)

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to find the probability of the first selection being male. This is calculated as number of male mice divided by total number of mice in the litter

Prob (1st male) = 8 ÷ 12 = 0.667

Next is to find the probability of the second selection also being male. Note that the question states that the first mice was selected without replacement. This means the first mouse taken results in a reduction in both the number of male mice and total number of mice in the litter.

Prob (2nd male) = (8 - 1) ÷ (12 - 1) = 7/11 = 0.636

Therefore,

Prob (1st male & 2nd male) = 0.667 × 0.636 = 0.424
