Kelly and Greta are asked to write an equation for the scenario below. “One person was able to plant 4 trees in the same amount

of time that 5 people working together were able to plant 20 trees.” The girls agree that x represents the number of people working and y represents the number of trees planted. Kelly wrote the equation , and Greta wrote the equation . Which person is correct, and why? Kelly is correct; each person plants more trees than the person before them. Kelly is correct; and . Greta is correct; each person plants 4 more trees than the person before them. Greta is correct; and .

<u>Answer:</u> Greta is correct.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Greta is correct sine you can substitute different number of people for each of the values of and y and check that each person will still plant 4 trees.

For example:

4x = 4(1) = 4 trees; and

4 x 5 = 20

but you should follow a certain pattern to increase the value of x, such that every foe every value of x, one person is able to plant 4 trees.

Mary has some boxes that are all cubes of the same size she uses 5 of the boxes to make a tower with a height of 115 cm she puts
liberstina [14]

Answer:

161 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total height, we need to find the wait of each individual box. Since we have five boxes stacked up on each other with a height of 115, we can divide 115 by 5 to get 23. Now that we know that each box is 23 centimeters tall, we can multiply that by 2 because 2 more boxes were added, and then add that to 115.

115/5=23

23*2=46

46+115=161

Hope this helps!

Adrian ran from his house to the park at a speed of 5 meters per second. He ran back from the park to his house at a speed of 6
denpristay [2]

Answer:time taken to run from his house to the park is 12 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the distance between his house and the park.

The speed at which Adrian ran from his house to the park is 5 meters per second.

Distance = speed × time

Time = distance/speed

Therefore, time taken to run from his house to the park would be

Time = x/5

The speed at which he ran back from the park to his house is 6 meters per second.

Time taken to run back from the park to his house would be

Time = x/6

The total time taken to run the whole journey was 22 minutes. Converting to seconds, it becomes 22× 60 = 1320 seconds. Therefore,

x/5 + x/6 = 1320

Multiplying through by 30, it becomes

6x + 5x = 39600

11x = 39600

x = 39600/11 = 3600 meters

Therefore, time taken to run from his house to the park would be

x/5 = 3600/5 = 720 seconds

Converting to minutes, it becomes

720/60 = 12 minutes

An investment firm offers three types of equity investments,
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

<u>The expected value of the total return rate for the firm's clients is C. 7.4%</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review all the information given for solving the question:

Type of equity investments = A, B and C

Percentage of investment in each type of equity = 30% in A, 50% in B and 20% in C.

Rates of return of each type of equity investment = 10% for A, 6% for B and 7% for C.

2. Let's find the expected value of the total return rate for the investment firm:

Return rate for each type of investment = Percentage of investment * Rate of return

For A = 30% * 10% = 0.3 * 0.1  = 0.03

For B = 50% * 6% = 0.5 * 0.06 = 0.03

For C = 20% * 7% = 0.2 * 0.07 = 0.014

Total return rate = Return rate for A + Return rate for B + Return rate for C

Total return rate = 0.03 + 0.03 + 0.014 = 0.074

<u>Total return rate = 0.074 * 100 = 7.4%</u>

<u>The expected value of the total return rate for the firm's clients is C. 7.4%</u>

A researcher evaluates the significance of a multiple-regression equation and obtains an F-ratio with df = 2,24. How many partic
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

N=27 participants

Step-by-step explanation:

Analysis of variance (ANOVA) "is used to analyze the differences among group means in a sample".  

The sum of squares "is the sum of the square of variation, where variation is defined as the spread between each individual value and the grand mean"  

When we conduct a multiple regression we want to know about the relationship between several independent or predictor variables and a dependent or criterion variable.

If we assume that we have k independent variables and we have  j=1,\dots,j individuals, we can define the following formulas of variation:  

SS_{total}=\sum_{j=1}^n (y_j-\bar y)^2  

SS_{regression}=SS_{model}=\sum_{j=1}^n (\hat y_{j}-\bar y)^2  

SS_{error}=\sum_{j=1}^n (y_{j}-\hat y_j)^2  

And we have this property  

SST=SS_{regression}+SS_{error}  

The degrees of freedom for the model on this case is given by df_{model}=df_{regression}=k=2 where k =2 represent the number of variables.

The degrees of freedom for the error on this case is given by df_{error}=N-k-1=24. Sinc we know k we can find N.

N=24+k+1=24+2+1=27

And the total degrees of freedom would be df=N-1=27 -1 =26

On this case the correct answer would be N=27 participants
