Answer:

The correct option is A) Nominal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Researchers studying the effectiveness of a diet on heart disease divided the study's participants into two groups those with Type A personalities and those with Type B personalities.

Type of measurement scales:

Ratio: We can compare quantity as a multiple of one another.

For example: A father's weight is twice to his son.

Interval: Interval is the measurement scale in which each of the position is equidistant from another.

Level of excitement, rated from 1 to 5.

Ordinal: Ordinal measurement scale in which sets are in order by their position.

For example: First, second, third in a competition.

Nominal: Nominal data are objects distinguished by a straightforward scheme of naming.

For example: The employees in a office can be male or female.

Now, from the above definition it is clear that the type of measurement scale which can depict the scenario is Nominal.

Hence, the correct option is A) Nominal.

Step-by-step explanation:

If KM bisects angle NKL, the angle 3 is congruent to angle 4.

We are given that angle 1 is congruent to angle 2, so that means that angle JKP is congruent to angle PKN. By the definition of an angle bisector, we know then that angle NKM is congruent to angle MKL. By the definition of a straight angle formed by opposite rays, all those angles named above add up to equal 180 degrees. So if angle JKN = 8x + 2 and angle MKL = 3x + 5 and angles NKM and MKL are congruent, then angle NKL = 2(3x + 5) which is 6x + 10. Again, if all those angles above add up to equal 180, then

8x + 2 + 6x + 10 = 180 and

14x + 12 = 180 and

14x = 168 so

x = 12.

Angle MKN = 3x + 5 so if x = 12, then

Angle MKN = 3(12) + 5 and

Angle MKN = 41 degrees

An oblique prism has trapezoidal bases and a vertical height of 10 units. An oblique trapezoidal prism is shown. The trapezoid h

denis23 [38]

Answer:

volume of trapezoidal prism = 15x^2 cubic units

Step-by-step explanation:

First, area of the trapezoidal bases.

Parallel sides measure x and 2x, for an average of 1.5x.

Height = x

Area of trapezoidal base = 1.5x*x = 1.5x^2

Volume of prism = area base * height

(length does not matter, height does)

= 1.5x^2 * 10 = 15x^2

Milton spilled some ink on his homework paper. He can't read the coefficient of $x$, but he knows that the equation has two dist

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

$Sum = -81$

Step-by-step explanation:

See the comment for complete question.

Given

$c = 36$ ----- Constant

No coefficient of x^2

Required:

Determine the sum of all distinct positive integers of the coefficient of x

Reading through the complete question, we can see that the question has 3 terms which are:

x^2 ---- with no coefficient

x ---- with an unknown coefficient

36 ---- constant

So, the equation can be represented as:

$x^2 + ax + 36 = 0$

Where a is the unknown coefficient

From the question, we understand that the equation has two negative integer solution. This can be represented as:

$x = -\alpha$ and $x = -\beta$

Using the above roots, the equation can be represented as:

$(x + \alpha)(x + \beta) = 0$

Open brackets

$x^2 + (\alpha + \beta)x + \alpha \beta = 0$

To compare the above equation to $x^2 + ax + 36 = 0$ , we have:

$a = \alpha + \beta$

$\alpha \beta = 36$

Where: $\alpha, \beta$ and $\alpha \ne \beta$

The values of $\alpha$ and $\beta$ that satisfy $\alpha \beta = 36$ are:

$\alpha = -1$ and $\beta = -36$

$\alpha = -2$ and $\beta = -18$

$\alpha = -3$ and $\beta = -12$

$\alpha = -4$ and $\beta = -9$

So, the possible values of a are:

$a = \alpha + \beta$

When $\alpha = -1$ and $\beta = -36$

$a = -1 - 36 = -37$

When $\alpha = -2$ and $\beta = -18$

$a = -2 - 18 = -20$

When $\alpha = -3$ and $\beta = -12$

$a = -3 - 12 = -15$

When $\alpha = -4$ and $\beta = -9$

$a = -4 - 9 = -13$

At this point, we have established that the possible values of a are: -37, -20, -15 and -9.

The required sum is:

$Sum = -37 -20 -15 - 9$

$Sum = -81$
