Answer:

The conversion factor to convert cups to liters is 0.237

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A table showing conversions for common units of capacity.

                                Units of  capacity  

 Customary System Units                             Metric System Units

          1 gallon                                                           3.79 liters

          1 quart                                                            0.95 liters

           1 pint                                                              0.473 liters

           1 cup                                                              0.237 liters

We have to find the  conversion factor to convert cups to liters.

Consider the given  table.

Since, given One cup is equal to 0.237 liters.

So , the conversion factor to convert cups to liters is 0.237

For example to convert 10 cups to liters, we can multiply the number of cups by 0.237 to get cups in liters.

That is 10 cup = 10 × 0.237 = 2.37 liters.

Thus, 10 cups is equal to 2.37 liters.

Hence, The conversion factor to convert cups to liters is 0.237

The conversion factor for cups >> liters is:
0.237L/1.00c = 0.237L/cup

A triangle has angles that measure 46 and 84<br><br> what is the third angle?
pentagon [3]
The measure of the third angle is 50 because a triangle has a sum of 180 degrees by angle.

so... 46+84=130 and to get to 180, the last angle has to be worth 50.

Paraphin [41]
Let x represent the amount of money he invested at 11% and y money he invested at 12%. Now we write system of equations:

x*1.11 + y*1.12 = 70 000 + 7900
x + y = 70 000

We will multiply second equation with 1.11
x*1.11 + y*1.11 = 77700
and subtract if from first:
0.01*y =  200
y = 20000

x = 70000 - 20000 = 50000

In professional basketball games during 2009-2010, when Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers shot a pair of free throws, 8 time
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Is plausible that the successive throws are independent

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Table with info given

The observed values are given by the following table

__________________________________________________

First shot          Made          Second shot missed           Total

__________________________________________________

Made                  152                       33                                185

Missed                37                         8                                  45

__________________________________________________

Total                    189                       41                                230

2) Calculations and test

We are interested on check independence and for this we need to conduct a chi square test, the next step would be find the expected value:

Null hypothesis: Independence between two successive free throws

Alternative hypothesis: No Independence between two successive free throws

_____________________________________________________

First shot                    Made                                    Second shot missed

_____________________________________________________

Made                  189(185)/230=152.0217                41(185)/230=32.9783

Missed                189(45)/230=36.9783                  41(45)/230=8.0217

_____________________________________________________

On this case all the expected values are higher than 5 and the sample size 230 is enough to apply the chi squared test.

3) Calculate the chi square statistic

The statistic for this case is given by:

\chi_{cal}^2 =\sum \frac{(O_i -E_i)}{E_i}

Where O represent the observed values and E the expected values. Replacing the values that we got we have this

\chi_{cal}^2 =\frac{(152-152.0217)^2}{152.0217}+\frac{(33-32.9783)^2}{32.9783}+\frac{(37-36.9783)^2}{36.9783}+\frac{(8-8.0217)^2}{8.0217}=0.000003098+0.00001428+0.00001273+0.0.00005870=0.00008881

Now with the calculated value we can find the degrees of freedom

df=(r-1)(c-1)=(2-1)(2-1)=1 on this case r means the number of rows and c the number of columns.

Now we can calculate the p value

p_v =P(\chi^2 >0.00008881)=0.9925

On this case the pvalue is a very large value and that indicates that we can fail to reject the null hypothesis of independence. So is plausible that the successive throws are independent.

You launch a water balloon. The function h=-0.08t^2+1.6t+2 models the height h (in feet) of the water balloon after t seconds. W
stellarik [79]

Answer:

The initial height of the balloon is 2 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the balloon in feet after t seconds is given by the following equation:

h(t) = -0.08t^{2} + 1.6t + 2

What is the initial height of the balloon?

This is h when t = 0, that is, h(0). So

h(0) = -0.08*0^{2} + 1.6*0 + 2 = 2

The initial height of the balloon is 2 feet.
