Answer:

Only Elijah's model is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The data given in the question tells us they have 12 games left on their soccer team. Each one of them tried to simulate the fact by creating some model which look like a balance between quantities.

Elijah placed 3 cubes of value 1 and a cube of value x on one side of a balance. On the other side, he placed 15 cubes of value 1. He was obviously modeling the fact that 15 cubes (games due to play in our case) should be equal to 3 cubes (games already played) plus the x numbers left to play

This model if perfect, since the only way to equilibrate the balance is setting x to 12, the games left to play

Jonathan used a table with 3 x's in a row and a 15 in the second row, trying to model the same situation. To our interpretation, this table doesn't show the number of games left to play. If we equate 3x = 15, we get x=5 which has nothing to do with the situation explained in the question, so this model is not correct.

Triss [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a) this involves 2 tails

The critical value is determined from the t distribution table.

α = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

1 - α/2 = 1 - 0.05/2 = 1 - 0.025 = 0.975

Looking at 0.975 with df 10

The critical value is 2.228

b) α = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

1 - α/2 = 1 - 0.05/2 = 1 - 0.025 = 0.975

Looking at 0.975 with df 20

The critical value is 2.086

c) α = 1 - 0.99 = 0.01

1 - α/2 = 1 - 0.01/2 = 1 - 0.005 = 0.995

Looking at 0.995 with df 20

The critical value is 2.845

d) α = 1 - 0.99 = 0.01

1 - α/2 = 1 - 0.01/2 = 1 - 0.005 = 0.995

Looking at 0.995 with df 60

The critical value is 2.660

e) 1 - α = 1 - 0.01 = 0.99

Looking at 0.99 with df 10

The critical value is 2.764

f) 1 - α = 1 - 0.025 = 0.975

Looking at 0.975 with df 5

The critical value is 2.571

Give two different decimals that round to 5.24 when rounding to the nearest hundredths.
KIM [24]

ANSWER

5.2387 and 5.2437

EXPLANATION

To round a decimal to the nearest hundredth means we should round to two decimal places.

To round to two decimal places we consider the third decimal place.

When we round 5.2387 to the nearest hundredth, we obtain 5.24 because the third decimal place is greater than or equal to 5 so we round up.

When we round 5.2437 to the nearest hundredth, we get 5.24 because the third decimal place less than 5 so we round off.

In fact there are infinitely many decimals that will round to 5.24 when rounding to the nearest hundredth.
