Answers

Answer 1

The population in the study are the people that are 71 years of age and older in the United States.

What is a population?

Population simply means the representative sample of a larger group. Here, the population in the study are the people that are 71 years of age and older.

Also, 0.097 is a statistic because it describes the proportion of the people that suffer from the disease for the sample of 856.

The technical conditions are that the sample should be collected from a normal distribution. In this case, since the sample size is large, then the sampling distribution of the sample means is normal.

Answer:  21 units

Step-by-step explanation: Since the y-coordinates are the same, you need to find only the difference in the x-values.

Since one is positive and one is negative, (on different sides of the y-axis) you add the distances of each coordinate from there.

Or, remember that finding the difference between two numbers is a subtraction equation, and subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive.

You take music lessons that cost $45 a month plus an additional amount for lessons during the month. If you spent $325 in music lessons in one month, how much did you spend on lessons? Select the equation and the solution (2 answer choices).
Group of answer choices

45 + n = 325

45n = 325

$280

$7.22

Answers

Answer:

45 + n = 325

n = $280

Step-by-step explanation:

total cost = monthly cost plus the cost of lessons

total cost = $325

monthly cost = $45

number of lessons = 'n'

45 + n = 325

n = 280

LMNP is a rectangle. Find the value of x and the length of each diagonal.
LN= 4x + 3 and MP = 8x -9

X=

Answers

Solution:

We know that:

Given diagonals: LN and MPLN and MP must be equal because they are diagonals of LMNP.LN = 4x + 3MP = 8x - 9

Since LN and MP must be equation, equation formed: 4x + 3 = 8x - 9

Let's simplify the equation to find x.

Subtracting 4x both sides.

[tex]4x + 3 = 8x - 9[/tex]=> [tex]4x - 4x + 3 = 8x - 9 - 4x[/tex]=> [tex]3 = 4x - 9[/tex]

Add 9 both sides.

=> [tex]3 = 4x - 9[/tex]=> [tex]3 + 9 = 4x - 9 + 9[/tex]=> [tex]12 = 4x[/tex]

Divide 4 both sides.

=> [tex]12 = 4x[/tex]=> [tex]\frac{12}{4} = \frac{4x}{4}[/tex]=> [tex]x = 3[/tex]

Now, let's find the length of each diagonal.

[tex]LN = 4x + 3 = 4(3) + 3 = 12 + 3 = 15 \space\ units[/tex][tex]MP = 8x - 9 = 8(3) - 9 = 24 - 9 = 15 \space\ units[/tex]

Diagonals are equal

[tex]\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 4x+3=8x-9[/tex]

c. Observational studies are always biased.
d. Observational studies cannot have response variables.
e. An experiment imposes treatments on the subjects, but an observational study does not.

Answers

Answer: e. An experiment imposes treatments on the subjects, but an observational study does not.

Step-by-step explanation:

Experiment is scientific procedure that is undertaken by an individual or a researcher in order for the person to either make a discovery, or test a hypothesis.

Observational studies are the studies whereby the researchers just observe the impact of a treatment or risk factor e.g. cohort studies. In observational study, the researchers just collect data based on what they've either heard or seen and they've no control over such variables collected whole for an experiment, treatments are applied to a group and the effects are recorded.

To solve this equation, you would solve it like any other equation.

Imagine that the inequality sign isn't there, and it's replaced with an equal sign. (I'm still going to use >, I just want you to pretend)

Solve:

x + 17 > 36

Subtract 17 from both sides

x > 36 - 17x > 19

- 2p + 8 = 6 - (7p + 7)

Answers

First you wanna use distributive property with the negative sign so it would look like this
-2p+8=6-7p-7
Then you want to at 7P to both sides
5p+8=6-7
Now you want to combine 6-1 and you get -1 and then you want to subtract it from both sides and it will look like this
5p=-9
Now divide both sides by five and you get your final answer
p=-9/5

Answer:

p=1

Step-by-step explanation:

first you need to get rid of the parenthesis

-2p+8=6-7p+7

then combine everything you can on their respective sides

-2p+8=13-7p

then get the variable on one side and for this, it can be done 2 different ways but both ways get the same answer

-2p+8=13-7p

+7p         +7p

5p+8=13

or

-2p+8=13-7p

+2p         +2p

8=13-5p

then, depending on which way you decide to solve it, you would then solve for x like you would in any regualar equation

first way shown above:

5p+8=13

    -8  -8

5p=5

divide them both by 5 and p=1

or the other way shown above

8=13-5p

-13  -13

-5=-5p

divide both sides by -5 and then p=1

you start at (2, 4). You move down 4 units and up 4 units. Where do you end?

Answers

Answer:

(2, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

the same spot because 2 - 4 = -2, and the back up -2 + 4 = 2. we do not move left or right so there is no need to change the y value of 4

Answer:

(2, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the points (2, 4) and we are told to move down four units, and then up 4 units. Since it's up and down not left and right it's telling us that we are moving the point on the y axis, which is the four, now all we have to do is subtract four units, and then add four more units on the y axis.

4 - 4 + 4 = 4

Leaving the points unchanged, your answer is "(2, 4)."

Write an exponential function in the form y=ab^x that goes through points (0,10) and (9, 5120).

Answers

The form [tex]y=ab^x[/tex] has two unknowns, namely [tex]a[/tex] and [tex]b[/tex], so you would need to have two points to find the equation (which you do). Once you have your two points, you can create a system of equations by plugging in the x and y coordinates like below:

[tex]\left \{ {{10=ab^0} \atop {5120=ab^9}} \right.[/tex]

One thing you may remember is that ANY number to the power of 0 equals 1. Knowing that, we can replace [tex]b^0[/tex] in the first equation with 1. Since 1 multiplied by any number is just that same number, that leaves [tex]a[/tex] alone in the first equation.

[tex]\left \{ {{10=a} \atop {5120=ab^9}} \right.[/tex]

The first equation now tells us that [tex]a[/tex] is 10, so we can plug 10 in for [tex]a[/tex] in the other equation.

[tex]5120=10b^9[/tex]

Now we can divide both sides by 10 to isolate [tex]b^9[/tex].

[tex]512=b^9[/tex]

To get [tex]b[/tex] alone, we have to take the 9th root of both sides.

[tex]\sqrt[9]{512} =\sqrt[9]{b^9}[/tex]

That gives us:

[tex]2=b[/tex]

We can now plug [tex]a[/tex] and [tex]b[/tex] into the form they gave us to get:

[tex]y=10*2^x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

So, first, to get to the airport, we can take the shortest route, which is Elementary School to City Hall (21), then to High School (12), then to Airport (15).

This adds up to 48 miles.

Then, we go back to City Hall, through the High School, which is 27 miles (15+12)

Then, we go to the Elementary School from City Hall, which is 21 miles.

Add up all the miles and you get:
