Johnny wants to know how many students in his school enjoy watching science programs on TV. He poses this question to all 26 students in his science class and finds that 75% of his classmates enjoy watching science programs on TV. He claims that 75% of the school's student population would be expected to enjoy watching science programs on TV. Is Johnny making a valid inference about this population? (5 points)

a
Yes, it is a valid inference because his classmates make up a random sample of the students in the school

b
Yes, it is a valid inference because he asked all 26 students in his science class

Find the surface area of the square pyramid shown. Label the net to help you.


I have to show work

Answers

Answer: 40 inches squared

Labels are in the pictures

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the surface area, find the area of each side.

Square (base) : side * side = 4*4 = 16

Triangle (sides) : (base * height)/2

Assuming each side is a isosceles triangle, the base 4/2 = 2

(2*6)/2 = 12/2 = 6

Since there are 4 triangles, we can multiply 6 by 4 to get the combined area. We then add the area of the square to get the final result.

6*4 + 16 = 24+16 = 40

can someone help me please? I know that I will be using the theoretical probability equation, but I just don’t know what to do

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there,

We know that a pair means two and so for each pair of socks he has, we are going to multiply that number by two to find the individual amount.

White socks: 2 pairs x 2 = 4 total white socks

Black socks: 4 pairs x 2 = 8 total black socks

Blue socks: 1 pair x 2 = 2 total blue socks.

Now, you add up the total amount of individual socks in the drawer.

4+8+2 = 14 socks.

We are trying the find the probability that he is going to pick a black sock.  The amount of black socks is going to go on the numerator of the fraction and the total amount of socks in the drawer is going to go on the denominator.

8 black socks  /  14 total socks

Now that we have this fraction, we need to simplify it.  The number 8 and 14 are both divisible by 2, so we now have the fraction (4/7).

What this means is that, theoretically, if he randomly pulled out 7 socks, that 4 of the socks he pulls out should be black, leaving the probability he picks out black socks to be (4/7) of the time or about 57% likely to happen.

I hope this helps, let me know if you have questions :)

B. 6 over 36

Step-by-step explanation:

As we are given the sample space, the events that sum to 6 are:

{(1,5), (2,4), (3,3),(4,2),(5,1)}

Let n(S) be the number of items in sample space

n(S) = 36

Let E be the event the sum is 6

Then,

n(E) = 6

So,

P(Sum of two cubes is 6) = n(E) / n(S)

Work out the area of the trapezium
(some please help, i forgot how to do this )

Answers

Answer:

48cm

Step by step:

The area of a trapezoid can be found using the formula A=(1/2)(b1+b2)h, so we replace each variable with what is written on the trapezoid. A=(1/2)(7+9)(6), so once you simplify you get 48.

Answer:

The area of the Trapezium is 48cm².

Step-by-step explanation:

A trapezium has a pair of Parallel Lines.

Let’s mark the line that is on the top as A and the bottom one as B.

Length of line A (Base 1) = 7cm

Length of line B (Base 2) = 9cm

Height of Trapezium = 6cm

Area of Trapezium (Formula) = {( Base 1 + Base 2 ) / 2} * Height

                                                 = {( 7cm + 9cm ) / 2} * 6cm

                                                 = ( 16cm / 2 ) * 6cm

                                                 = 8 cm * 6cm

                                                 = 48cm²

The area of the Trapezium is 48cm².

Answer: x=108 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Since ST is a straight line, it measures 180 degrees.

This means that

x+(2/3)x=18


The simplified version is 5x/3=180. Now, we multiply both sides by 3. The equation becomes 5x=540 you would divide 5 by both sides which is ultimately x=108.

Answer:

x=108 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that since ST is a line, it equals a total of 180 degrees.

Let's write an equation:

[tex]180=x+\frac{2}{3}x[/tex]

simplify

[tex]180=\frac{5}{3} x[/tex]

divide both sides by 5/3

108=x

So, x=108 degrees.

Write each expression without the absolute value symbol. |7-(12-x)|

Answers

The expression without the absolute value symbol is given as follows:

If x > 5, then |7 - (12 - x)| = -5 + x.If x = 5, then |7 - (12 - x)| = -5 + x.If x < 5, then |7 - (12 - x)| = 5 - x.

What is the absolute value function?

The absolute value function is defined by the following piecewise rule, depending on the input of the function:

|f(x)| = f(x), x ≥ 0.|f(x)| = -f(x), x < 0.

The expression for this problem is given as follows:

7 - (12 - x).

The critical value of x is obtained as follows:

7 - (12 - x) = 0

7 - 12 + x = 0

x = 5.

Hence the expression is given as follows:

If x > 5, then |7 - (12 - x)| = -5 + x.If x = 5, then |7 - (12 - x)| = -5 + x.If x < 5, then |7 - (12 - x)| = 5 - x.

Cube Roots of Negative Numbers.
Thank you!♡

Answers

Answer:The cube root of a negative number is a complex number because there is no real number that, when cubed, gives a negative result.

To find the cube root of -1, we can express it in exponential form as -1 = 1 * e^(iπ), where i is the imaginary unit and π is pi.

The cube root of -1 can be calculated by applying De Moivre's theorem, which states that (r * e^(iθ))^(1/n) = r^(1/n) * e^(iθ/n), where r is the magnitude and θ is the argument of the complex number.

For n = 3, the cube root of -1 becomes:

(-1)^(1/3) = (1 * e^(iπ))^(1/3) = 1^(1/3) * e^(iπ/3) = e^(iπ/3).

Therefore, the cube root of -1 is e^(iπ/3), which can also be expressed as cos(π/3) + i * sin(π/3).

In trigonometric form, the cube root of -1 is (√3/2) + i * (1/2).

5,070

2,084

Answers

Answer: 3,380

Step-by-step explanation: THIS IS MY GUESS.

Since we know that 150 people were surveyed, and only 60 wanted chili, we can write an equation to get the percentage of people who wanted chili as 60/150. We can simplify that to get 6/15 and then simplify again to get 2/5. 2/5 simplifies to 40% as a percentage. 40% of 8,450 (or 0.4 x 8,450) would be 3,380.

Answer 3380
Explanation
We will find the ratio of 54 36 and 60 which is 9:6;10
So now total attendance is 8450.
So 8450 * 6 / 15= 3380

9. What is the area of a square with a perimeter of 44 mm?

10. What is the area of a square with a perimeter of 55 cm

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a parallelogram, multiply the base by the height:

Area = base x height

Area = 6.3 m x 27.3 m

Area = 171.99 m²

To find the height of a rectangle, divide the area by the base:

Height = Area / Base

Height = 420.92 mm² / 27.4 mm

Height ≈ 15.35 mm

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by 2 times the sum of the base and height:

Perimeter = 2(base + height)

133.2 mm = 2(30.6 mm + height)

133.2 mm = 61.2 mm + 2 height

2 height = 133.2 mm - 61.2 mm

2 height = 72 mm

Height = 72 mm / 2

Height = 36 mm

To find the height of a parallelogram, divide the area by the base:

Height = Area / Base

Height = 645 m² / 61 m

Height ≈ 10.57 m

The perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of all its sides:

Perimeter = 2(base + side length)

Perimeter = 2(32 cm + 34 cm) + 2(height)

Perimeter = 2(66 cm) + 2(19 cm)

Perimeter = 132 cm + 38 cm

Perimeter = 170 cm

To find the area of a parallelogram, multiply the base by the height:

Area = base x height

Area = 40 mm x 18 mm

Area = 720 mm²

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula: Perimeter = 2(base + height)

Perimeter = 2(7.9 m + 8.8 m)

Perimeter = 2(16.7 m)

Perimeter = 33.4 m

To find the height of a rectangle, divide the area by the base:

Height = Area / Base

Height = 354 cm² / 23 cm

Height ≈ 15.39 cm

The perimeter of a square is 4 times the length of one side. Since the perimeter is given as 44 mm, we can divide it by 4 to find the length of one side:

Side length = Perimeter / 4

Side length = 44 mm / 4

Side length = 11 mm

To find the area of a square, multiply the side length by itself:

Area = side length x side length

Area = 11 mm x 11 mm

Area = 121 mm²

The perimeter of a square is 4 times the length of one side. Since the perimeter is given as 55 cm, we can divide it by 4 to find the length of one side:

Side length = Perimeter / 4

Side length = 55 cm / 4

Side length = 13.75 cm

To find the area of a square, multiply the side length by itself:

Area = side length x side length

Area = 13.75 cm x 13.75 cm

Area ≈ 189.06 cm²
