A study shows that, over the course of a lifetime, the average salary of college graduates is greater than the average salary of

people with only a high school diploma. The results were published claiming that graduating from college ensures you will make more money over the course of your lifetime. What is the problem with reporting results this way?

Answer: The word "ensures" implies that it is certain.

In the case of the study, they simply found that the average salary is greater for college graduates. This doesn't mean that in every case the college graduate makes more money.

The problem is the word "ensures". Our study doesn't show certainty only a general pattern.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a study shows that, over the course of a lifetime, the average salary of college graduates is greater than the average salary of people with only a high school diploma.

The results were published claiming that graduating from college ensures you will make more money over the course of your lifetime.

Only means should not be compared. variances of each sample should be ascertained and test for comparison of two means to be done to conclude that one mean is greater than the other.

Hence here problem is correlation and causality.

If a 10-pound turkey costs $20.42.how much does a 21-pound turkey cost
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

$42.88

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's create a proportion using the following setup:

cost/pounds=cost/pounds

We know that it costs $20.42 for a 10 pound turkey.

$20.42/10 pounds= cost/pounds

We don't know how much a 21 pound turkey costs, so we can say that it costs $x for a 21 pound turkey.

$20.42/ 10 pounds= $x/ 21 pounds

20.42/10=x/21

We want to find x, by getting x by itself.

x is being divided by 21. The inverse of division is multiplication. Multiply both sides by 21.

21*(20.42/10)=(x/21)*21

21* 20.42/10=x

21*2.042=x

42.882=x

Round to the nearest cent, or hundredth.

42.88=x

x= $42.88

A 21 pound turkey costs $42.88

Which system of equations below has no solution? A. y = 4x + 5 and y = 4x – 5 B. y = 4x + 5 and 2y = 8x + 10 C. y = 4x + 5 and y
Stels [109]

Answer: A  y=4x -5 and y=4x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

They have no solutions because they have the same slopes but different y intercepts. That works with any equation.

Let g(x)= -2(3x+4)(x−1)(x−3)^2 be a polynomial function. Name all horizontal and vertical intercepts of the graph. State the end
lesantik [10]

Answer:

The vertical intercepts is

(4/3,0) (3,0) (1,0)

The horinzontial intercepts is

(0,72)

The end behavior is

<em>as x approaches positive infinity, f(x) approaches negative infinity. As x approaches negative infinity, f(x) approaches negative infinity.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical or y intercepts will be zeroes of the following factors.

3x + 4 = 0

x - 1 = 0

(x - 3) {}^{2}  = 0

We solve for x each time.

x =  -  \frac{4}{3}

x = 1

x = 3

Part B). We need to find the intercepts by setting the equation equal to zero.

The constant expanded will equal 72.

If x=0,

{0}^{y}  = 0

where y is any real number.

So this means all the exponets will equal 0. The constant will just add to the term. so our horinzontal intercept is

0 + 72 = 72

Part C) End Behavior

The leading degree is even. Even Degree Polynomials like Quadratics tend to go approach positive infinity vertically as x approaches positive infinity, and as x approaches negative infinity, it approaches positive infinity vertically.

Our leading coefficient is negative so this means our quadratic will get reflected across the x axis.

Now this means, as x approaches positive infinity, f(x) approaches negative infinity. As x approaches negative infinity, f(x) approaches negative infinity.

Becca and Kimberly are running at a constant speed in a marathon. Becca runs at 4.5 miles per hour. Kimberly’s progress is shown
Georgia [21]

Answer:

Part A: Kimberly

Part B:

Becca = 22.5 miles, Kimberly = 25 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

Given that Becca runs at a constant speed of 4.5 miles per hour, use the table to find the constant speed that Kimberly runs, and compare who runs faster.

Let x = time

y = distance

k = speed = y/x

Equation for each person can be written as: y = kx

Therefore:

✔️Equation for Becca if k = 4.5

y = 4.5x

✔️Find k (speed) of Kimberly using (2, 10):

Speed (k) = y/x

k = 10/2

k = 5 miles per hour

Equation for Kimberly would be:

y = 5x

Comparing their speed, Kimberly runs faster because she covers more miles per hour than Becca does.

Part B:

For Becca, substitute x = 5 into Becca's equation, y = 4.5x

Thus:

y = 4.5*5 = 22.5 miles

For Kimberly, substitute x = 5 into Kimberly's equation, y = 5x

Thus:

y = 5*5 = 25 miles
