Answer 1

The grouped frequency distribution for the data is given as follows:

41 - 45: 0.0909.46 - 50: 0.25.51 - 55: 0.1818.56 - 60: 0.1818.61 - 65: 0.2045.66 - 70: 0.125.

How to obtain the grouped frequency distribution?

The relative frequency of an outcome in the context of an experiment is given by the number of outcomes assuming this value divided by the number of total outcomes.

Hence the grouped frequency distribution for the data in this problem is obtained considering the relative frequency of each outcome.

For example, we have that:

There are 44 presidents.4 of them were between 41 and 45.

Hence the frequency for the age 41-45 is given as follows:

4/44 = 0.0909.

in January the depth of a lake was 943 feet in August the depth of the lake was 754.4 what is the percentage decrease of the depth of the lake from January to August

Answers

The percentage decrease of the depth of the lake from January to August is 20%.

What is percentage decrease?

The difference between the initial and final numbers is shown as a percentage reduction. It displays a percentage loss of value compared to the original regardless of the units. The decrease is equal to the initial amount less the final amount.

Given,

The depth of lake in January = 943 feet

The depth of lake in August = 754.4 feet

The difference is = (943-754.4) feet

                             = 186.6 feet

So, the percentage decrease of the depth of the lake from January to August will be =  (186.6 ÷ 943) × 100

                        = 20%

Therefore, the answer is 20%.

What is an expression?

An expression is a way of writing a statement with more than two variables or numbers with operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Example: 2 + 3x + 4y = 7 is an expression.

We have,

Number of rides = m + 5

Number of games = m

Now,

Each game costs $1.50 and each ride costs $5. Isaac spent $44.50 altogether at the carnival.

This means,

1.50m + 5(m + 5) = 44.50

1.50m + 5m + 25 = 44.50

6.50m = 44.50 - 25

m = 19.5/6.50

m = 3

Now,

The number of games = 3.

The number of rides.

= m + 5

= 3 + 5

= 8

Thus,

The number of games is 3.

If log₂(4x + 6) = 4, then x = ____
You may enter the exact value or round to 4 decimal places.

Answers

Answer: -1/2

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this problem, we can use the properties of logarithms to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation. The properties of logarithms tell us that the logarithm of a product is the sum of the logarithms of the factors, and that the logarithm of a power is the exponent times the logarithm of the base.

If log₂(4x + 6) = 4, we can rewrite the left side of the equation as follows: log₂(4x + 6) = log₂(2^4 * (2x + 3))

Then, using the property of logarithms that the logarithm of a product is the sum of the logarithms of the factors, we can simplify the equation as follows: log₂(4x + 6) = 4 + log₂(2x + 3)

Now, we can use the property of logarithms that the logarithm of a power is the exponent times the logarithm of the base to simplify the equation even further: log₂(4x + 6) = 4 + 1 * log₂(2x + 3)

Since the logarithm of a power is the exponent times the logarithm of the base, this means that the logarithm of a number is the logarithm of that number divided by the logarithm of the base. Therefore, we can divide both sides of the equation by log₂ to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation:

log₂(4x + 6) / log₂ = 4 + 1 * log₂(2x + 3) / log₂

(4x + 6) / 1 = 4 + (2x + 3) / 1

4x + 6 = 4 + 2x + 3

4x + 6 = 2x + 7

2x = -1

x = -1/2

Therefore, if log₂(4x + 6) = 4, then x = -1/2.

Newton's Law of Cooling, if a body with temperature T₁ is placed in surroundings with temperature To, different from that of T₁, the body will either cool or warm to temperature T(t) after t minutes, where T(t) = T₀ + (T₁-T₀)e^(kt)

Given: T₁ = 120°F,  T₀ = 0°F. After 5 minutes, T(t) = 80°F

T(t) = T₀ + (T₁-T₀)e^(kt)

80 = 0 + (120-0)e^(5k)

80 = 120e^5k

e^5k = 80/120

e^5k = 2/3

5k = ln(2/3)

k = ln(2/3) / 5

k = -0.0811

The temperature of the pan after 15 minutes will be:

T(t) = T₀ + (T₁-T₀)e^(kt)

T(15) = 0 + (120-0)e^(-0.0811×15)

T(15) = 120e^(-0.0811×15)

[tex]A(t) = 171e ^ {- 0.04(t) }[/tex]where t is given in years

Here, Initial amount of radioactive substance = 171 grams

We need to find the amount of substance that will be left in the sample after 59 years.

So, t = 59 years

So, it becomes,

[tex]A(t) = 171e ^ {- 0.04(59) }\\\\A(t) = 0.48[/tex]

(b) all of its output energy is absorbed in a detector that measures a total energy of 0.52 j over a period of 32 s. how many photons per second are being emitted by the laser? how does the image distance (the distance from the lens to the focused image) change with the object distance (the distance from psy to the lens?) simplify (4r5)(2r8) maya drove to the mountains last weekend. there was heavy traffic on the way there, and the trip took hours. when maya drove home, there was no traffic and the trip only took hours. if her average rate was miles per hour faster on the trip home, how far away does maya live from the mountains? do not do any rounding. a certain half-reaction has a standard reduction potential 0.07 v. an engineer proposes using this half-reaction at the anode of a galvanic cell that must provide at least of electrical power. the cell will operate under standard conditions. note for advanced students: assume the engineer requires this half-reaction to happen at the anode of the cell. Use the fact that the trigonometric functions are periodic to find the exact value of the given expression. Do not use a calculator.sec.(25/4) What is the molar mass of an unknown gas with a density of 14.1 g/L at 4.00 atm and 35.0 C? a long straight conductor has a circular cross section of radius r and carries a current i. inside the conductor, there is a cylindrical hole of radius a whose axis is parallel to the axis of the conductor and at a distance b from it. what is the answer to -2a+5a=-3a what lessons can the history of irish immigration to the us teach us about later (and future) waves of immigration? question 2 according to the mccandless method, what is the most effective way to first present a data visualization to an audience? Investigators examined the expression of transporter mRNA and protein produced in zebrafish homozygous for each of the alleles and found the results summarized below Does the allele associated with light color appear to be altering transcription or translation? Why? Biodiesela fuel comprising long-chain fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) derived from vegetable oils or animal fats, designated B100 and meeting standard requirements. Help, its due tomorrow solubility curves are used to determine if a solution is unsaturated, saturated, or supersaturated at a specific pressure. true or false In a balanced chemical equation, a.
