About 12% of children are nearsighted. A school district will be testing the vision of 170
incoming kindergarten children.
What proportion of these kids should we expect to be nearsighted (p-hat)?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

about 21 kids out of 170 are expected to be nearsighted (20:170)

Step-by-step explanation:

we find 12% out of 70 by muliplying 170 x 0.12 which equals 20.4

However it has to round up because we cant have half a child so 21 children.

1-3 Function Operations and Composition Jim was given three functions and asked to determine f + (gon). The functions were f (x) = x2 g(x) = 3x + 1, and h(x) = 2x. Jim started by writing the problem as (r + (gon))(x) = x2 + 2(3x + 1). What was Jim's mistake? What is the correct solution? O A Jim omitted the x in h(x): [ + (g = n)) = 7x2 + 2x B. Jim should have added f and g first; ( + (gon)) = 4x2 + 6x + 1 O C. Jim incorrectly performed h og instead of goh: (f + g - h)) = x2 + x + 1. OD D. Jim did not follow the order of operations, I + (g o h)) = x2 + 6x + 2.​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the functions:

f (x) = x^2

g(x) = 3x + 1

h(x) = 2x

We are to look for  f + (goh)

First we need to get the composite function goh

goh = g(h(x))

g(h(x)) = g(2x)

To get g(2x) we will substitute x in g(x) as 2x as shown below:

Given g(x) = 3x+1

g(2x) = 3(2x)+1

g(2x) = 6x+1

f + goh = x² + (6x +1)

f + goh = x² + 6x +1

Jim wrote goh as 2(3x+1) instead of 3(2x) + 1. The composite function that Jim looked for was hog not goh.

The correct solution is f + goh = x² + 6x +1

Margaret said the exact product of 602 and 341 is 205,282. Is she correct? Use paper and the standard algorithm to support your reasoning.

Answers

Answer:

Yes, she is. The exact product of 602 and 341 is 205,282.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the exact product of 602 and 341, both numbers must be multiplied, obtaining the result. To do this, said number can be decomposed, to facilitate the operation and to be able to corroborate the accuracy of the result.

So, we can multiply 602 by 300, plus 602 by 40 and 602 by 1, and add the results.

Therefore, since 602 times 300 is equal to 180,600 (602 x 300 = 180,600); that 602 times 40 is equal to 24,080 (602 x 40 = 24,080); and since 602 times 1 is equal to 602, all those values must be added.

So 180,600 plus 24,080 equals 204,680. And in turn, 204,680 plus 602 equals 205,282. Therefore, the proposed result is correct.

The Pappas family has two cats, Zeus and Athena. Together they weigh thirteen pounds. Zeus weighs 5 pounds less than Athena. How much does Athena weigh?

Answers

Given:

Combine weight of two cats, Zeus and Athena = 13 pounds

Zeus weighs 5 pounds less than Athena.

To find:

The weight of Athena.

Solution:

Let x pounds be the weight of Athena.

Zeus weighs 5 pounds less than Athena.

Weight of Zeus = x - 5 pounds

Combine weight of two cats, Zeus and Athena = 13 pounds

[tex]x+(x-5)=13[/tex]

[tex]2x-5=13[/tex]

Add 5 on both sides.

[tex]2x=13+5[/tex]

[tex]2x=18[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2.

[tex]x=\dfrac{18}{2}[/tex]

[tex]x=9[/tex]

Therefore, the weight of Athena is 9 pounds.

The population of bluegills (type of fish) has a mean length of 152.09mm and a standard deviation of 19.62mm. What is the probability that a random sample of 25 fish has a mean length of 140mm or shorter

Answers

Answer:

0.001035

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean (m) = 152.09 mm

Standard deviation (σ) = 19.62 mm

Sample size (n) = 25

Length being 140mm or shorter (x) : x ≤ 140

Using the Zscore relation :

Zscore = (x - m) / (σ/√n)

Zscore = (140 - 152.09) / (19.62/√25)

Zscore = (140 - 152.09) / (19.62/5)

Zscore = −3.081039

P(Z ≤ −3.08) = 0.001035

A red ball rolls for 6 meters across a sticky level surface and slows down to a stop. the ball was rolling at 36 meters per second when it began to roll across the sticky surface. find the acceleration, velocity final, the velocity initial, the velocity average, the distance the ball rolled, and the time of the balls roll across the sticky surface

Answers

Answer:

Please find the answer in the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a red ball rolls for 6 meters across a sticky level surface and slows down to a stop. the ball was rolling at 36 meters per second when it began to roll across the sticky surface. To find the acceleration, let us use third equation of motion

V^2 = U^2 + 2as

As the object is moving to stop, V = 0

0 = U^2 - 2as

36^2 = 2 × a × 6

1296 = 12a

a = 1296 / 12

a = 108 m/s

The velocity final = 0

The velocity initial = 36 m/s

the velocity average = (36 + 0)/2

Average velocity = 36/2 = 18m/s

the distance the ball rolled = 6m

and the time of the balls roll across the sticky surface will be achieved by using first equation of motion

V = U + at

V = 0

0 = 36 - 108t

108t = 36

t = 36 / 108

t = 0.3 seconds

Find the measures of the numbered angles in the figure, shown to the right. Name the theorem that justifies each

M<1=

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

m∠1 + 75° = 180° [Linear pair of angles]

m∠1 = 180° - 75°

       = 105°

m∠2 = m∠1 [Opposite angles of a rectangle are equal]

m∠2 = m∠1 = 105°

m∠2 = m∠3 = 105° [Vertically opposite angles]

m∠3 = m∠4 = 105° [Corresponding angles]

Therefore, all four angles measure the same as 105°.

The table below gives the stopping distance y (in 100 meters) for a train traveling on a track at various speeds x (miles per hour).

Speed, x (mi/h) 50 55 60 65 70 75 80 85 90
Distance ,y (100m) 20 25 35 50 70 95 125 200 160

Required:
Find an equation of the quadratic function that models the data, and predict the stopping distance for the train traveling at 95 miles per hour.

Answers

60 90................

The required equation is 0.1x²-9.5x+245=0

And, the stopping distance for the train traveling at 95 miles per hour is 245.

What is function?

Function, in mathematics, an expression, rule, or law that defines a relationship between one variable (the independent variable) and another variable.

Here, given that,

Speed, x (mi/h) 50 55 60 65 70 75 80 85 90

Distance ,y (100m) 20 25 35 50 70 95 125 160 200

Now, let an quadratic equation be, ax²+bx+c=y

Putting the values of x & y we get,

2500a+50b+c=20 ....(1)

3025a+55b+c=25...(2)

3600a+60b+c=35 .....(3)

solving this we get,

a= 0.1

b=-9.5

c=245

Hence, the required equation is 0.1x²-9.5x+245=0

And, the stopping distance for the train traveling at 95 miles per hour is 245.

Answer:

A) Fraction = 3/5, Percentage = 60%

B) Fraction = 1/15 , Decimal = 0.083333 ≈ 0.08

C) Ratio = 1:9, Fraction = 1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

A) The total amount of money Jack received = $75

Jack's spent on shoes = $45

The proportion he spent on shoes

= $45/$75

= 3/5

Converting this fraction to percentage

= 3/5 × 100% = 60%

B.What proportion of his birthday money went toward music?

The total amount of money Jack received = $75

Jack's spent on music = $5

The proportion he spent on music

= $5/$75

= 1/15

Converting this fraction to decimal

= 1/15 = 0.0833333333

It is a repeating decimal.

Approximately to the nearest hundredth = 0.08

C. Write the ratio of money Jack spent on music to money Jack spent on shoes.
