Answer:

It may be D, correct me if i'm wrong.

Step-by-step explanation:

We already know that the majority of students will go to a college based on somebody else going to that college. With that in mind, we can draw a cause-and-effect conclusion summarizing why they want to choose that college (Because there friend) and the effect as there friend goes to that college.

Denise has conducted an observational study to learn about different influences that affect which colleges students choose to attend. Denise surveyed 400 students at her new college and found that 80% of the students chose their college based on a friend who also attends that college.

What conclusion can Denise make from her study?

A. There may be a link between knowing current students and choosing a college, and she can draw a cause-and-effect conclusion from an observational study.

B. There may be a link between knowing current students and choosing a college, but she cannot draw a cause-and-effect conclusion from an observational study.

C. Knowing a current student enrolled at a college causes incoming students to choose that college, but she cannot draw a cause-and-effect conclusion from an observational study.

D. Knowing a current student enrolled at a college causes incoming students to choose that college, and she can draw a cause-and-effect conclusion from an observational study.

A turtle walks 7/8 of a mile in 50 minutes. What is the unit rate when the turtle’s speed is expressed in miles per hour?

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

21/20

Step-by-step explanation:

a) One hour is equivalent to 60 minutes.

So we can multiply 50 minutes by the fraction $\frac{1 hour}{60 minutes}$ , so we could convert 50 minutes to hours.

It is:

$50 minutes * \frac{1 hour}{60 minutes}=\frac{50}{60}hours$

If we simplify the fraction, we have:

$50 minutes = \frac{5}{6}hours$

b) In order to express the turtle's speed in miles per hour, we have to divide

$\frac{7}{8}miles$ by $\frac{5}{6}hours$

So:

$\frac{\frac{7}{8}miles }{\frac{5}{6}hours }$

We simplify the expression by multiplying 7 mile by 6 and 8 by 5 hours:

$\frac{\frac{7}{8}miles }{\frac{5}{6}hours}=\frac{42 miles}{40 hours} =\frac{21 miles}{20 hours}$

Which represents a quadratic function? f(x) = −8x3 − 16x2 − 4x f (x) = three-quarters x 2 + 2x − 5 f(x) = StartFraction 4 Over x

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

$2.\ f(x) = \frac{3}{4}x^2 + 2x - 5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$f(x) = -8x^3 - 16x^2 - 4x\\f(x) = \frac{3}{4}x^2 + 2x - 5\\f(x) = \frac{4}{x^2} - \frac{2}{x} + 1\\f(x) = 0x^2 - 9x + 7$

Required

Which of the above is a quadratic function

A quadratic function has the following form;

$ax^2 +bx + c = 0 \ where \ a\neq 0$

So, to get a quadratic function from the list of given options, we simply perform a comparative test of each function with the form of a quadratic function

$1.\ f(x) = -8x^3 - 16x^2 - 4x$

This is not a quadratic function because it follows the form $f(x) = ax^3 + bx^2 + c$ and this is different from $ax^2 +bx + c = 0 \ where \ a\neq 0$

$2.\ f(x) = \frac{3}{4}x^2 + 2x - 5$

This function has an exact match with $ax^2 +bx + c = 0 \ where \ a\neq 0$

By comparison; $a = \frac{3}{4}\ b = 2\ and\ c = -5$

$3.\ f(x) = \frac{4}{x^2} - \frac{2}{x} + 1$

This is not a quadratic function because it follows the form $f(x) = \frac{a}{x^2} + \frac{b}{x} + c$ and this is different from $ax^2 +bx + c = 0 \ where \ a\neq 0$

$4.\ f(x) = 0x^2 - 9x + 7$

This is not a quadratic function because it follows the form $f(x) = ax^2 +bx + c = 0\ but\ a = 0$

Unlike the quadratic function where $a\neq 0$

So, from the list of given options, only $2.\ f(x) = \frac{3}{4}x^2 + 2x - 5$ satisfies the given condition

The length of time a full length movie runs from opening to credits is normally distributed with a mean of 1.9 hours and standar

Llana [10]

Answer:

a) The probability that a random movie is between 1.8 and 2.0 hours = 0.2586.

b) The probability that a random movie is longer than 2.3 hours is 0.0918.

c) The length of movie that is shorter than 94% of the movies is 1.4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

In the above question, we would solve it using z score formula

z = (x-μ)/σ, where x is the raw score, μ is the population mean, and σ is the population standard deviation

a) A random movie is between 1.8 and 2.0 hours

z = (x-μ)/σ,

x1 = 1.8,

x2 = 2.0

μ is the population mean = 1.9

σ is the population standard deviation = 0.3

z1 = (1.8 - 1.9)/0.3

z1 = -1/0.3

z1 = -0.33333

Using the z score table

P(z1 = -0.33) = 0.3707

z2 = (2.0 - 1.9)/0.3

z1 = 1/0.3

z1 = 0.33333

p(z2 = 0.33) = 0.6293

= P(- 0.33 ≤ z ≤ 0.33)

= 0.6293 - 0.3707

= 0.2586

The probability that a random movie is between 1.8 and 2.0 hours = 0.2586

b) A movie is longer than 2.3 hours

z = (x-μ)/σ,

x1 = 2.3

μ is the population mean = 1.9

σ is the population standard deviation = 0.3

z = (2.3 - 1.9)/0.3

z = 4/0.3

z = 1.33333

P(z = 1.33) = 0.90824

P(x>2.3) = = 1 - 0.90824

= 0.091759

≈ 0.0918

The probability that a random movie is longer than 2.3 hours is 0.0918.

3) The length of movie that is shorter than 94% of the movies.

z = (x-μ)/σ

Probability (z ) = 94% = 0.94

Movie that is shorter than 0.94

= P(1 - 0.94) = P(0.06)

Finding the P (x< 0.06) = -1.555

≈ -1.56

μ is the population mean = 1.9

σ is the population standard deviation = 0.3

-1.56 = (x - 1.9)/ 0.3

Cross multiply

-1.56 × 0.3 = x - 1.9

- 0.468 + 1.9 = x

= 1.432 hours

≈ 1.4 hours

Therefore, the length of movie that is shorter than 94% of the movies is 1.4 hours
