Below are the data collected from two random samples of 500 American adults on the number of hours they work per day (rounded to

the nearest hour):
Ryan concludes that adults spend a mean of 8 hours working each day. Malia thinks the mean is 9 hours. Who is correct—Ryan or Malia? Explain your answer in two or three sentences.

The mean is just the arithmetic average...

Sample A=8.1

Sample B=8.11

Both Samples=8.105

So Ryan would be closer to being correct given either of or both samples.

Ryan is correct because if you were to add up all you numbers which is easier if you take (60*6)+(90*7) then 7+7+7 (90 times) then divide them you get 8. You could either take each set on their own or do them both together but you still get 8.

Archy [21]
Let L be the length of one side of Kamila's bedroom (since her bedroom is square, the area would be L x L). Then the width of her living room is 1.25L. So:
18*1.25L=2.5(L)²
22.5L=2.5L²
L=22.5/2.5=9
Kamila's bedroom is 9'x9'; her living room is 11.25'x18'. ☺☺☺☺

44 students completed some homework and the histogram shows information about the times taken. Work out an estimate of the inter
Vilka [71]

Answer:

q1=11

q3= 33

Step-by-step explanation:

The data set has 44 number of students. The first quartile is 25 %  of the numbers in the data set . So

25 % of 44 = 25/100 * 44= 0.25 *44 = 11

So the first quartile lies at 11.

Similarly the third quartile lies at the 75 % of the numbers of the data set . So

75 % of 44 = 75/100 * 44= 0.75 *44 = 33

So the third quartile lies at 33.

The graph represents the cost of a subscription to a newspaper. A coordinate plane showing Ferry Ride Cost with Number of Person

Answer:

The constant of variation is $1.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Point 1 (1,2)

Point 2 (5,8)

Required

Constant of Variation

Though the graph would have assisted in answering the question; its unavailability doesn't mean the question cannot be solved.

Having said that,

the constant variation can be solved by calculating the gradient of the graph;

The gradient is often represented by m and is calculated as thus

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}

Where

(x_1, y_1) = (1,2)\\(x_2, y_2) = (5,8)

By substituting values for x1,x2,y1 and y2; the gradient becomes

m = \frac{8 - 2}{5 - 1}

m = \frac{6}{4}

m = \frac{3}{2}

m = 1.50

Hence, the constant of variation is $1.50

A specimen of aluminum having a rectangular cross section 10 mm 12.7 mm (0.4 in. 0.5 in.) is pulled in tension with 35,500 N (80
miskamm [114]

Answer:

\epsilon = 3.958\times 10^{-3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The Young's Module of Aluminium is E = 69\times 10^{9}\,Pa. The axial stress on the specimen is:

\sigma = \frac{F}{A_{t}}

\sigma = \frac{35500\,N}{(0.01\,m)\cdot (0.013\,m)}

\sigma = 2.731\times 10^{8}\,Pa

The strain is derived of following expression:

\epsilon = \frac{\sigma}{E}

\epsilon = \frac{2.731\times 10^{8}\,Pa}{69\times 10^{9}\,Pa}

\epsilon = 3.958\times 10^{-3}

Serga [27]

Answer:

5 teachers

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the 15 members finished 1/3 of the job in 4 hours. When the teachers came they finished 2/3 of the job in 6 hours. So they finished 1/3 of the join in 3 hours of we simplify it.

4 hour: 15 minutes

3 hour: ?

15/3 x 4= 20 teaches. Then we do 20-15=5 because there were originally 15 members.
