Answer:

  A) 12 pieces

  B) the meaning of the quotient is that Tara got 12 pieces of length 2/5 ft from her 4 4/5 ft rope

Step-by-step explanation:

A) (4 4/5)/(2/5) = (24/5)/(2/5) = 24/2 = 12

  Tara can cut 12 pieces from the rope.

__

B) The quotient is the answer to the question. The meaning of it is that Tara can get 12 pieces from the rope, in answer to the question, "how many pieces can Tara cut?"

It doesn't matter whether the numbers are whole numbers, decimals, fractions, or even irrational numbers. The whole is the sum of the parts, so the number of parts is equal to the size of the whole divided by the size of a part.

Comment on the question

This sort of question seems to appear a lot in modern "common core" math materials. They tell you "x means <such and such>", and then they ask you, "What is the meaning of x?" It seems to be a reading comprehension exercise. Of course, the meaning of x is <such and such>, just as the problem statement tells you.

A study is conducted to determine the extent to which drinking alcohol impairs driving ability. Forty volunteers are each tested twice on a computer simulated driving course, once while sober and once while intoxicated. The tests took place over two days and the order of the treatments were randomly assigned to each volunteer. One of the variables measured is the response time (in seconds) to a certain stimuli. The mean difference in response times measured while intoxicated versus sober is 0.914 seconds with standard deviation 1.496 seconds. Calculate the 99% confidence interval for the mean difference between the response times measured while intoxicated versus sober. Use t*

Answers

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval for the mean difference between the response times measured while intoxicated versus sober is between 0.274 and 1.554 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 40 - 1 = 39

99% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 39 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.995[/tex]. So we have T = 2.7079

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.7079\frac{1.496}{\sqrt{40}} = 0.64[/tex]

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 0.914 - 0.64 = 0.274 seconds

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 0.914 + 0.64 = 1.554 seconds

The 99% confidence interval for the mean difference between the response times measured while intoxicated versus sober is between 0.274 and 1.554 seconds.

The number 312.8 is 34% of x. What is the value of x rounded to the nearest whole number

Answers

Answer:

X = 920

Step-by-step explanation:

To start off, we have to find how many times 34% can go into 100%. It can go in precisely 2.94117647059 times. Then, we take that number and multiply it by 312.8, since 312.8 is 34% of 100%. We get 920 from that, which is the answer.

Hope this helped!

A percentage is a way to describe a part of a whole. The value of x rounded to the nearest whole number is 920.

What are Percentages?

A percentage is a way to describe a part of a whole. such as the fraction ¼ can be described as 0.25 which is equal to 25%.

To convert a fraction to a percentage, convert the fraction to decimal form and then multiply by 100 with the '%' symbol.

Given that the number 312.8 is 34% of x. Therefore, we can write,

34% of x = 312.8

(34/100) × x = 312.8

Multiply both the sides of the equation by 100,

(34/100) × x × 100 = 312.8 × 100

Divide both the sides of the equation by 34,

[(34/100) × x × 100] ÷ 34 = (312.8 × 100) ÷ 38

x = (312.8 × 100)/34

x = 920

Hence, the value of x rounded to the nearest whole number is 920.

A 0.05n < 0.45
B 0.05n > 0.45

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is A or C 0.05n < 0.45

Step-by-step explanation:

Nickels cost $0.05 and n is the number of nickels, so you multiply the two to get 0.05n. Since this value is less than $0.45, we put a less than sign.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic equation given to us is ,

→ 4v² + 6v - 88 = 0 .

So , wrt to standard form of a quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0 , the Zeroes are given by using the Quadratic formula as ,

⇒ x = -b ± √ ( b² - 4ac) / 2a

⇒ x = -6 ± √ [6² - 4 × 4 × (-88) ] / 2×4

⇒ x = -6 ± √ [ 36 + 1408 ] / 8

⇒ x = -6 ± √ 1444 / 8

⇒ x = -6 ± 38 / 8

⇒ x = -6 +38/ 8 , -6 -38 / 8

⇒ x = 32/8 , -44/8

x = 4 , -11/2

Here I took v as x . So we can replace it .

Hence the value of v is 4 , -11/2 .

In testing hypotheses, which of the following would be strong evidence against the null hypothesis?
a. obtaining data with a low test statistic.
b. using a small level of significance.
c. using a large level of significance.
d. obtaining data with a large p-value.
e. obtaining data with a small p-value.

Answers

Answer:

e. obtaining data with a small p-value.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the null hypothesis, we test if the mean respects certain condition, and on the alternate hypothesis, we test the opposite of the null hypothesis.

The decision depends on the pvalue:

If the pvalue is smaller than the level of significance, that is, the pvalue has small values, the null hypothesis is rejected, that is, it is strong evidence against the null hypothesis. Large pvalues do not give evidence against the null hypothesis.

So the correct answer is given by option e.

A ceramic vase was originally priced at $100 but went on sale for 50% off. If Ernesto bought the ceramic vase and paid 12% sales tax, how much did he pay in total?

Answers

Answer: he payed $56 in total

Explanation:
50% of 100 is 50.
50 time 1.12 is 56

Ernesto bought the ceramic vase for $56 including 12% tax.

What is the percentage?

A percentage is a value per hundredth. Percentages can be converted into decimals and fractions by dividing the percentage value by a hundred.

Given, A ceramic vase was originally priced at $100 but went on sale for 50% off.

∴ The discounted price is (50/100)×100 = $50.

Now after Ernesto bought the ceramic vase he had to pay a tax of 12%.

∴ {(100 + 12)/100}×50.

= (112/100)×50.

= 56.

So he paid $56 including 12% tax.

Answers

Answer:

1,172.3 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the volume of one rod, then divide the total volume of steel used by the volume of one rod.  The volume of one rod is

V = (πd²/4)h

d = 4 cm

h = 20 cm

Plugin the numbers and get V in cm³, then divide the given total volume of 28,134.4 cm³ by V.  If the result is not an integer, then round down.

Add

20 + 4 = 24

Then

28,134.4 ÷ 24 = 1172.26

Rounded to the nearest 0.1 or  the Tenths Place = 1,172.3
