First you set up your ratio: Length to height.
The Drone is 30/4 which can be equivalent to 7.5.
The prototype is 12/x which can be equivalent to 7.5 as well. Re-write your equation to solve for x.
x*7.5 = 12 ---> x=12/7.5. = 1.6. Now plug in 1.6 as x to test your equation so you get an answer of 7.5: 12/1.6 = 7.5.
So, the prototype for testing should be 12 feet long and 1.6 feet (19.2 inches) high.

The solutions to a quadratic equation are x = 2 and x = 7. If k is a nonzero constant, which of the following must be equal to t

Serggg [28]

ANSWER

The correct option is,
$k(x - 2)(x - 7) = 0$

EXPLANATION

We were given that the solutions of the quadratic equation are
$x = 2$
and
$x = 7.$

This tells us that,

$x - 2$

and
$x - 7$

are factors of the quadratic equation.

This implies that the quadratic equation is of the form,

$(x - 2)(x - 7) = 0$

We were also told that

$k$

is a non zero constant.

This means that we can use k to multiply the whole equation and the solution will not be affected.

Our equation now becomes,

$k(x - 2)(x - 7) = 0$

Hence the correct answer is A.

Determine the margin of error, m , of a 99% confidence interval for the mean IQ score of all students with the disorder. Assume

madreJ [45]

Answer:

E= 6.45

standard deviation is σ = 15,

The critical value is z(α/2) = 2.58.

Step-by-step explanation:

Margin error is the value that is lie above and below the sample.It gives percentage of numbers.Its is the product of critical value standard deviation and standard error of statistic.

General formula for the margin of error is

Margin of error = critical value × standard error of statistic

= $z \alpha /2$ × σ √n

z-value from two tailed is listed below:

From the table of standard normal distribution, probability value of 0.10.

row and column values gives the area to the two tail of z.

The positive z value is 2.58.

standard deviation is σ = 15,

The critical value is z(α/2) = 2.58.

after putting these vales we obtain the margin of error value that is

E= 6.45

A brochure from the department of public safety in a northern state recommends that motorists should carry 12 items (flashlights

scoray [572]

Answer:

$Mean = 6.07$

$Median = 7$

$Mode = 7$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Data: 5\ 3\ 7\ 8\ 0\ 1\ 0\ 5\ 12\ 10\ 7\ 6\ 7\ 11\ 9$

$n = 15$

Solving (a): The mean

Mean is calculated as:

$Mean = \frac{\sum x}{n}$

This gives:

$Mean = \frac{5+ 3+ 7+ 8+ 0+ 1+ 0+ 5+ 12+ 10+ 7+ 6+ 7+ 11+ 9}{15}$

$Mean = \frac{91}{15}$

$Mean = 6.07$

Solving (b): The median

Sort the data in ascending order:

$Data: 5\ 3\ 7\ 8\ 0\ 1\ 0\ 5\ 12\ 10\ 7\ 6\ 7\ 11\ 9$

$Sorted: 0\ 0\ 1\ 3\ 5\ 5\ 6\ 7\ 7\ 7\ 8\ 9\ 10\ 11\ 12$

The median is:

$Median = \frac{n + 1}{2}th$

$Median = \frac{15 + 1}{2}th$

$Median = \frac{16}{2}th$

$Median = 8th$

The 8th item on the sorted dataset is 7; So:

$Median = 7$

Solving (c): The mode

$Mode = 7$

Because it has a frequency of 3 (more than any other element of the dataset).

Bald-faced hornets have a hive that is approximately cone-shaped, as shown in the image. One such hive has a radius of 15 inches

sineoko [7]

Answer:

Volume of the hive is 4712.4 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since hive has the shape of a cone with radius = 15 inches and height = 20 inches

Therefore, volume of the given cone = $\frac{1}{3}(\text{Area of the base})\times \text{height}$

Area of the circular base = πr²

Area = π(15)²

= 225π

Volume of the cone = $\frac{1}{3}(225\pi )\times{20}$

= 1500π

= 4712.39

≈ 4712.4 square inches

Therefore, volume of the hive is 4712.4 square inches.

Tyra is laying down square carpet pieces in her photography studio. Each square carpet piece is 1 yard by 1 yard. If Tyra's phot

irakobra [83]

Studio = 7 yards by 4 yards

Area = 7*4 = 28 square yards.

Area of square carpet = 1 yard * 1 yard = 1 square yard

Number needed = Area of studio / Area of square carpet = 28 / 1 = 28

Number needed = 28
