Umm 8/12 or 2/3 .......................................................................
Let the distance of the first part of the race be x, and that of the second part, 15 - x, then
x/8 + (15 - x)/20 = 1.125
5x + 2(15 - x) = 40 x 1.125
5x + 30 - 2x = 45
3x = 45 - 30 = 15
x = 15/3 = 5
Therefore, the distance of the first part of the race is 5 miles and the time is 5/8 = 0.625 hours or 37.5 minutes
The distance of the second part of the race is 15 - 5 = 10 miles and the time is 1.125 - 0.625 = 0.5 hours or 30 minutes.
<span>We can solve the following equation: 5 x - 70 = 60, where x is the height of a kakapo in inches : 5 x - 70 + 70 = 60 + 70 ( we will add 70 to the both sides of an equation ), 5 x = 130, x = 130 : 5, x = 26 inches. We can prove it: 26 * 5 - 70 = 130 - 70 = 60 inches ( the height of an emu in inches ). Answer: The height of a kakapo is 26 inches.Hope I helped! :) Cheers!</span>
For a set population, does a parameter ever change?
Answer: For a set population, a parameter never change.
Because while computing the parameter each and every unit of the population is studied. Therefore, we can not expect a parameter to vary.
If there are three different samples of the same size from a set population, is it possible to get three different values for the same statistic?
Answer: Data from samples may vary from sample to sample, and so corresponding sample statistic may vary from sample to sample.
Because while calculating the sample statistic, we consider only the part of population. Every time we draw a sample from population, there is every possibility of getting different sample. Therefore, data from samples may vary from sample to sample and corresponding sample statistic may vary from sample to sample.
