Answer:

112

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of all percentage questions is: the chunk= (some percentage) (of the whole), or c=p*w

We know that 18% of students are 8th grade and that is 126 students, so p = 0.18 and c=126 (126 students are 18% of the whole school)

126 = (0.18)w, divide both sides by 0.18

126/(0.18) = w = 700

9th graders are 16% of the school or 16% of 700 students

c = (0.16) 700 = 112 students

On a coordinate plane, 2 trapezoids are shown. The first trapezoid has points A (negative 1, negative 2), B (1, negative 2), C (
Liula [17]

Answer:

The true statements are:

The rule for the translation can be written as T-3, 1(x, y). ⇒ 1st

The rule for the translation can be written as  (x, y) → (x - 3, y + 1) ⇒ 4th

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the rule of the translation:

  • If the point (x , y) translated horizontally to the right by h units  then its image is (x + h , y)
  • If the point (x , y) translated horizontally to the left by h units  then its image is (x - h , y)
  • If the point (x , y) translated vertically up by k units  then its image is (x , y + k)
  • If the point (x , y) translated vertically down by k units  then its image is (x , y - k)

The vertices of trapezoid ABCD are:

A (-1 , -2) , B (1 , -2) , C (2 , -5) , D (-2 , -5)

The vertices Of trapezoid A'B'C'D' are:

A' (-4 , -1) , B' (-2 , -1) , C' (-1 , -4) , D' (-5 , -4)

Trapezoid ABCD is translated to form Trapezoid A'B'C'D'

By using the rules of translation above:

∵ A = (-1 , -2) and A' = (-4 , -1)

- The rule of translation is (x , y) → (x + h , y + k)

∵ x = -1 and x + h = -4

∴ -1 + h = -4

- Add 1 to both sides

∴ h = -3

∵ y = -2 and y + k = -1

∴ -2 + k = -1

- Add 2 to both sides

∴ k = 1

The rule of translation is (x , y) → (x - 3 , y + 1)

The trapezoid ABCD has been translated 3 units to the left and 1 unit  up

You can check your answer by doing the same steps with the other 3 vertices you will have the same values of h and k

The true statements are:

The rule for the translation can be written as T-3, 1(x, y).

The rule for the translation can be written as  (x, y) → (x - 3, y + 1)

True or false the ordered pair of x-intercept has a zero for the x-value
Artyom0805 [142]
X-intercept has coordinates (x,0)
Y-intercept has coordinates (0,y)
So, the statement "<span> The ordered pair of x-intercept has a zero for the x-value" is false.
</span><span> The ordered pair of x-intercept has a zero for the y-value.</span>

The roof of a house seen from the front is an isosceles triangle \Delta ABC ΔABC with base 14.5 m and sides of length 8.5 m. Fin
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

4.4 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw the height of the triangle (perpendicular line from point A to line BC).  Since ABC is an isosceles triangle, the height is a perpendicular bisector, so it splits the triangle into two congruent right triangles.

Use Pythagorean theorem to find the height.

c² = a² + b²

(8.5 m)² = (14.5/2 m)² + h²

h ≈ 4.4 m

Under what circumstances will the chi-square test for goodness of fit produce a large value for chi-square? Question options: a.
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

a.when the sample proportions are much different than the hypothesized population proportions

Step-by-step explanation:

A chi-square test for goodness of fit is used to check the sample data were distributed according to claim or not.

If the chi-square test produces a large value of chi-square statistic then there is not a good fit between sample data and the null hypothesis. So, the sample proportions are much different than the hypothesized population proportions. Hence,Option (a) is correct.

If the goodness of fit produces a large value for chi-square then the sample means must not be close to the population mean. So, option (b) is incorrect.
