A scientist is weighing each of 30 fish. She obtains a mean of 30 g and a standard deviation of 2 g. After completing the weighing, she finds that the scale was misaligned and always under reported every weight by 2 g that is, a fish that really weighed 26 g was reported to weigh 24 g. What is the mean and standard deviation after correcting for the error in the scale

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct mean = 32 grams

Correct Standard deviation = observed S.D = 2 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told in the question above :

A scientist is weighing each of 30 fish. She obtains a mean of 30 g and a standard deviation of 2 g. After completing the weighing, she finds that the scale was misaligned and always under reported every weight by 2 g that is

The mean after correcting the error in the scale is :

= observed mean + 2g

= 30g + 2g = 32g

The standard deviation after correcting the error in the scale remains the same as the difference of 2g has no significant effect on the Standard deviation.

This standard deviation = 2g

If f(x) = 3x2 + 2x - 2, find f(8) - f(-5)

Answers

Answer: 143

Step-by-step explanation:

f(8) = 3(8)^2 + 2*8 - 2 = 3*64 + 16 - 2 = 192 + 16 - 2 = 206

f(-5) = 3(-5)^2 + 2*(-5) - 2 = 3*25 + (-10) -2 = 75 - 10 - 2 = 63

f(8) - f(-5) = 206 - 63 = 143

Last night, Hailey spent 1 2/5 hours on her math
homework, then 45 minutes on her science
homework. What is the total time she spent doing her
math and science homework? Write your answer in a
complete sentence.

Answers

Answer:

a = 2 hours and 9 minutes

Explanation:

(using fractions)

45 minutes + 1 2/5 hours = 3/4 hours + 7/5 hours = 15/20 + 28/20 = 43/20 = 2 3/20 = 2 9 /60 = 2 hours 9 minutes.

(using decimals)

45 minutes + 1 2/5 hours =

0.75 hours + 1.4 hours = 2.15 hours = 2 hours 9 minutes.

since .15 × 60 = 9 .

Also keep in mind that there are 60 minutes in an hour.

find the solution to the systems of equations

Answers

Answer:

Answer=

x=(-2),y=(-4)

and in components form,

(-2,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

equation1 (-2x+2y=-4)

equation2 (3x+3y=-18)

(times equation 1 by 3 and times equation 2 by 2, to make the y values equal to each other)

E1 (-6x+6y=-12)

E2 (6x+6y=-36)

(subtract both equations from each other)

-6x+6y=-12

-

6x+6y=-36

=(-12x=24)

so, x=24÷-12=-2

(then we sub the value of x into one of the equations- the new one or the old one)

3x+3y=-18

(3×-2)+3y=-18

3y=-18+6=-12

y=-12÷3=-4

C only negative values of x

The set of numbers best describes the possible values of x in the equation is option c. only negative values of x.

Since the equation is

x - 1 = x

So, here the x should be canceled out

So, it should be like

THE MATCHThere never was a time when the world was without fire, but there was a time when men did not know how to kindle fire; and after they learned how to kindle one, it was a long, long time before they learned how to kindle one easily. In these days we can kindle a fire without any trouble, because we can easily get a match; but we must remember that the match is one of the most wonderful things in the world, and that it took men thousands of years to learn how to make one. Let us learn the history of this familiar little object, the match.Fire was first given to man by nature itself. When a forest is set on fire by cinders from a neighboring volcano, or when a tree is set ablaze by a thunderbolt, we may say that nature strikes a match. In the early history of the world, nature had to kindle all the fires, for man by his own effort was unable to produce a spark. The first method, then, of getting fire for use was to light sticks of wood at a flame kindled by natureby a volcano, perhaps, or by a stroke of lightning. These firebrands were carried to the home and used in kindling the fires there. The fire secured in this way was carefully guarded and was kept burning as long as possible. But the flame, however faithfully watched, would sometimes be extinguished. A sudden gust of wind or a sudden shower would put it out. Then a new firebrand would have to be secured, and this often meant a long journey and a deal of trouble.In 1827, John Walker, a druggist in a small English town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. The druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. It is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. Although Walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. In a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. The match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. It would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. This was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar.What is the main idea of this text?
