(statistics) solve part A, B, and C in the question on the picture provide, in 1-3 complete sentences each.
(a.) First let's define the terms;
Population - it is the pool of individual in which a statistical sample is drawn.
Parameter - it is a measure of quantity that summarizes or describes a Population.
Sample - is a smaller and more managable version of a group or population.
Statistics - same with parameter but rather than the population, it summarizes or describes
the sample.
Now that we know the definitions we can now answe the letter a;
Population: Students
Parameter: the population portion of the new students that like the new healthy choices (p)
Sample: 150 students
Statistics: estimated propotion of the students that like the new healthy choices (p-hat)
(b) P-hat = 0.6267 simply means that 62.67% of the 150 sample students like the new healthy choices.
(c) The answer for that is NO, because the simulated propotion which is shown by the graph seems to be equally distributed below and above 0.7. To support the claim of the manager most of the dots should be below 0.7 to show support to his claim that 70% of the new students like the new healthy choices.

the tower would they land?
The distance where the keys would drop from the base is 3.5m
Calculation far from the base of tower?Height of the tower = 57m
Angle it makes to the ground = 86°
To solve this question, you have to understand that the tower isn't vertically upright and the height of the tower is different from the distance from the top of the tower to the ground.
The tower makes an angle 86° to the ground and that makes it not vertically straight because a vertically straight building is at 90° to the ground.
The distance from where the keys drop to the base of the tower can be calculated using
We have to use cosθ = adjacent / hypothenus
θ = 86°
Adjacent = ? = x
Hypothenus = 57m
Cos θ = x / hyp
Cos 86 = x / 57
X = 57 × cos 86
X = 57× 0.06976
X = 3.97 = 4m

pleaseee help meeee For questions 9 - 10, answer the question about inverses. 9. The function m(d) below relates the miles Bob can drive his rental car and the numbers of dollars it will cost. 10. The function a(h) below relates the area of a triangle with a given base 7 and the height of the triangle. It takes as input the number of dollars spent and returns as output the number of miles. It takes as input the height of the triangle and returns as output the of the triangle. m(d) = 40(d- 35) ain= Write the equation that represents the inverse function, d(m), which takes the number of miles driven, m, as input and returns the number of dollars owed, d. Write the equation that represents inverse function, h(a), which takes triangle's area as input and returns height of the triangle.
First problem:
Find the inverse of the function
m = 40 (d - 35)
Recall that for the inverse function we need to solve for d in terms of m (reverse the dependence), so we proceed to isolate d on the right hand side of the equation:
divide both sides by 40
m/40 = d - 35
now add 35 to both sides:
m/40 + 35 = d
The inverse function (dollars in terms of miles) is given then by:
d(m) = 1/40 m + 35
Second problem:
a = 7 * h / 2
in order to find the inverse function (as h in terms of a) we solve for h on the right hand side of the equation as shown below:
multiply both sides by 2:
2 * a = 7 * h
now divide both sides by 7 in order to isolate h on the right
2 a / 7 = h
So our inverse function of height in terms of area is given by:
h(a) = (2 a) / 7

if Maria collected R rocks and Javy collected twice as many rocks as Maria and Pablo collected 5 less than Javy. What is the sum of rocks collected by Pablo and Maria?
This problem deals with the numbers expressed in a more general way: letters or variables
That belongs to Algebra
We know Maria collected R rocks. Let's put this in a separate line:
M = R
Where M is meant to be the number of rocks collected by Maria
Now we also know Javy collected twice as many rocks as Maria did. Thus, if J is that variable, we know that
J = 2R
Pablo collected 5 less rocks than Javy. This is expressed as
P = J - 5
or equivalently:
P = 2R - 5
since J = 2R, as we already stated
We are now required to calculate the sum of rocks collected by Pablo and Maria.
This is done by adding P + M:
P + M = (2R - 5) + (R)
We have used parentheses to indicate we are replacing variables for their equivalent expressions
Now, simplify the expression:
P + M = 2R - 5 + R
We collect the same letters by adding their coefficients:
P + M = 3R - 5
Answer: Pablo and Maria collected 3R - 5 rocks together

You have that on planet Alaber, there are 15 dubbles to every 13 rews. This proportion can be wrtten as 15:13, or 15/13.
In order to calculate how many dubbles are on the farm, while there are 100 rews. You use the previous ratio and proceed as follow:
15/13 = x/100 where x is the unknown number of dubbles
This is because the ratio between dubbles and rews must be the same.
You solve the previous equation as follow:
15/13=x/100 multiply both sides by 100 to cancel the denomitaro 100 right side
15/13(100) = x/100(100)
1500/13 = x
In order to write the previous result as a mixed number you divide numerator and denominator:
1500 | 13
143 115
70
65
5
Then, x = 1500/13 is also equal to:
x = 115 13/5
This means there are approximately 115 dubbles for 100 rews
Find the minimum or maximum value of the function f(x)=8x2+x−5. Give your answer as a fraction.
Answer
Minimum value of the function = (-41/8)
Explanation
The minimum or maximum of a function occurs at the turning point of the graph of the function.
At this turning point, the first derivative of the function is 0.
The second derivative of the function is positive when the function is at minimum and it is negative when the function is at maximum.
f(x) = 8x² + 2x - 5
(df/dx) = 16x + 2
At minimum or maximum point,
16x + 2 = 0
16x = -2
Divide both sides by 16
(16x/16) = (-2/16)
x = (-1/8)
Second derivative
f(x) = 8x² + 2x - 5
(df/dx) = 16x + 2
(df²/d²x) = 16 > 0, that is, positive.
So, this point is a minimum point.
f(x) = 8x² + 2x - 5
f(-1/8) = 8(-1/8)² + 2(-1/8) - 5
= 8 (1/64) - (1/4) - 5
= (1/8) - (1/4) - 5
= (1/8) - (2/8) - (40/8)
= (1 - 2 - 40)/8
= (-41/8)

From the given traingles, let's select the correct statements.
(a) Select all that describe BD.
Here, the line BD divides angle B into 2 equal parts. It means BD bisects ∠D.
An angle bisector is a line that divides an angle into two equal angles.
Hence, we can say BD is an angle bisector of ∠B.
(b) Select all that describe HI.
Since m∠FIH is a right triangle, it means ∠HIG is also a right triangle.
Also, the line HI originates from the vertex.
Since. the it forms a right angle, we can say HJ is an altitude of the triangle FGH.
Hence, HJ is an altitude of ΔFGH.
(c) Select all that describe MN.
Here, we can see that line MN divides the line segment KL into two equal parts, it means that point M is the median of the line segment KM and the pperpendicular bisector of line segment KL.
A perpendicular bisector is a line segment that divides another line segement into two equal parts.
KM = LM

Answer:
Explanation:
A) We'll use the below compound interest formula to solve the given problem;
[tex]A=P(1+r)^t[/tex]where P = principal (starting) amount
A = future amount = 2P
t = number of years
r = interest rate in decimal = 7.8% = 7.8/100 = 0.078
Since the interest is compounded weekly, then r = 0.078/52 = 0.0015
Let's go ahead and substitute the above values into the formula and solve for t;
[tex]\begin{gathered} 2P=P(1+0.0015)^t \\ \frac{2P}{P}=(1.0015)^t \\ 2=(1.0015)^t \end{gathered}[/tex]Let's now take the natural log of both sides;

Write an equation that represents a reflection in the y-axis of the graph of g(x)=|x|.
h(x)= ?
the reflection of the function g(x)=|x| in the y-axis will be h(x) = |x|
What is reflection in coordinate geometry ?
this represents the flip or mirror image of transformation about the given axis.
For every point in the plane (x, y), a 90° rotation can be described by the transformation P(x, y) → P'(-y, x). We can achieve this same transformation by performing two reflections.
Here, the given function is :
g(x)=|x|
Now, the reflection in the y-axis will be same that is :
h(x)= g(x)
h(x) = |x|

find the solution to the following system by substitution x + y = 20 y = 3x 8
Based on the substitution method, the solution of the system of the equation is x = 3 and y = 17.
Substitution method:
Substitution method is the way of finding the value of any one of the variables from one equation in terms of the other variable.
Given,
Here we have the system of equations
x + y = 20
y = 3x + 8
Now we need to find the solutions for these equation using the substitution method.
From the given details we know that the value of y is defined as 3x + 8.
So, we have to apply these value on the other equation in order to find the value of x,
x + (3x + 8) = 20
4x + 8 = 20
4x = 20 - 8
4x = 12
x = 3
Now apply the value of x into the other equation in order to find the value of y,
y = 3(3) + 8
y = 9 + 8
y = 17
Therefore, the solution of the equation is x = 3 and y = 17.
