Sample Answer: No, Ingrid is incorrect. The initial value in the scenario is 170 feet, which represents the y − intercept. Receding 4 feet in the scenario represents the rate of change, which is the slope. In slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, where m represents slope and b represents the y−intercept, so the correct equation is y = −4x + 170.

Many residents of suburban neighborhoods own more than one car but consider one of their cars to be the main family vehicle. The
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

95.4% of family vehicles is between 1 and 3 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 2

Standard Deviation, σ = 6 months = 0.5 year

We are given that the distribution of age of cars is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

P(family vehicles is between 1 and 3 years old)

P(1 \leq x \leq 3)\\\\ = P(\displaystyle\frac{1 - 2}{0.5} \leq z \leq \displaystyle\frac{3-2}{0.5}) = P(-2 \leq z \leq 2)\\\\= P(z \leq 2) - P(z < -2)\\= 0.977 -0.023 = 0.954= 95.4\%

P(1 \leq x \leq 3) = 95.4%

95.4% of family vehicles is between 1 and 3 years old.

An online article about an opinion poll says that "41% of Americans own a gun." The poll is based on online survey interviews wi
sergejj [24]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

A) The population of the poll is the United States Population EXCLUDING New England States. In other words, the population is all USA population except the New England population. Remember that population is all the set of individuals from where you extract your sample. The sample are those 2,700 adults interviewed.

B) The sampling used is, as said in the statement, a randome sampling.

C) Yes! There could be a bias because of the exclusion of New England States if the people who lives there tends to have more guns than the average american population. This could be, for example, due to that those states have the least gun owning in America or, contrary, if they have the highest. If Rode Island is the most violent state and has the highest gun owning rate, the results could be biased.  However, we can't confirm it without seeing the data, but there is possible.

krok68 [10]

Answer:

Option C.LG≅TD

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are congruent, then its corresponding sides and its corresponding angles are congruent

In this problem

MTD≅SLG

so

<em>Corresponding sides</em>

MT≅SL

TD≅LG

MD≅SG  

<em>Corresponding angles</em>

∠M≅∠S

∠T≅∠L

∠D≅∠G
