The complete question in the attached figure

we know that

the root mean square speed, is the square root of the average (mean) of all of the square of the speeds of individual particles in a gas.

step 1
find the square of the speeds of individual particles
2.8²----> 7.84
3.2²---->10.24
5.8²----> 33.64
7.3²----> 53.29
7.4²---> 54.76
average=[7.84+10.24+33.64+53.29+54.76]/5-----> 159.77/5----> 31.954

step 2
find the square root of the average
√31.954=5.65

therefore

the answer is
the option b) 5.7 m/s

A set of data points has a line of best fit of y=2.5x-1.5

castortr0y [4]

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1- You must apply the following formula:

$R=yo-yp$

Where $R$ is the residual, $yo$ is the observed value $y$ and $yp$ is the predicted value $y$ .

2- You only need to substitute the $x=5$ into the equation $y=2.5x-1.5$ and then, you must apply the formula for calculate the residual:

$y=2.5(5)-1.5\\ y=11$

$R=12-11\\ R=1$

The answer is: The residual is $1$

In a sample of 100 steel canisters, the mean wall thickness was 8.1 mm with a standard deviation of 0.5 mm. Someone says that th

Travka [436]

Answer:

This statement can be made with a level of confidence of 97.72%.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 8.1 mm

Standard Deviation, σ = 0.5 mm

Sample size, n = 100

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

Formula:

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

Standard error due to sampling:

$=\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \dfrac{0.5}{\sqrt{100}} = 0.05$

P(mean thickness is less than 8.2 mm)

P(x < 8.2)

$P( x < 8.2)\\\\ = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{8.2 - 8.1}{0.05})\\\\ = P(z < 2)$

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,

$P(x < 8.2) =0.9772 = 97.72\%$

This statement can be made with a level of confidence of 97.72%.

Which function shows a fabric with a price of $1.25 per square yard? A table showing Price of Fleece with five columns and two r

morpeh [17]

Answer:

Answer D is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

1: (1, 1.25) (2, 2)

So you have your first problem, your first number is x1 while your next number in the first set of parenthesis is y1. Your next set of parenthesis will be x2 and y2 like this:

x1 y1 x2 y2

(1, 1.25) (2, 2)

Then you set up a equation like this!

x2-x1

-------Divided

y2-y1

so we now plug in the numbers and get this

2-1.25 = 0.75

--------- ---- or 0.75 BUT not 1.25 like we need!

2-1 = 1

Distinguish between rote and rational counting

sergejj [24]

Answer: There is a difference between rote counting and rational counting. Rote counting involves the memorization of numbers. Rational counting tells children "how many there are." For children to count rationally, they need to demonstrate one-to-one correspondence.
