Answer 2

Answer:

Given expression:

-2.5(1.4+3.1) + 6.9(-4.3)

Student P

Step 1:  -3.5 + 7.75 + 6.9(-4.3)

Step 2: -3.5 + 7.75 - 29.67

Step 3: 7.75 - 3.5 - 29.67

Step 4: -25.42

Student P made an error in step 1.  When expanding the first part of the expression, they forgot the negative sign when multiplying -2.5 by 3.1.  

So Step 1 should be:  -3.5 - 7.75 + 6.9(-4.3).  

This error then impacted all following steps and gave an incorrect final solution.

Student Q

Step 1: -3.5 - 7.75 + 6.9(-4.3)

Step 2: -3.5 - 7.75 - 29.67

Step 3: -(3.5 - 7.75 - 29.67)

Step 4: -(-33.92)

Step 5: 33.92

Student Q made an error in step 3.  When placing the numbers in parentheses and placing a negative sign outside the parentheses, they should have changed the two negative signs inside the parentheses to positives.

So Step 3 should be: -(3.5 + 7.75 + 29.67).  

This error then impacted all following steps and gave an incorrect final solution.

Correct steps and solution

Step 1:  -3.5 - 7.75 + 6.9(-4.3)

Step 2: -3.5 - 7.75 - 29.67

Step 3: -(3.5 + 7.75 + 29.67)

Step 4: -(40.92)

Step 5: -40.92

Describe and correct the error in using the percent proportion to answer the question below
“6 is 6.25% of what number”

Answers

Using proportions, it is found that the error was treating the 100% value as a percent(100) instead of a decimal 1, hence the correct value is of 96.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, we have that 100% = 1 of the number is w, while 6 is equals to 6.25% = 0.0625. Hence the rule of three is given by:

1 - w

0.0625 - 6

Applying cross multiplication:

0.0625w = 6.

w = 6/0.0625

w = 96.

The error was treating the 100% value as a percent(100) instead of a decimal 1, hence the correct value is of 96.

Find five numbers so that the mean, median, mode and range is 4.

Answers

Answer:

Let’s break this apart

Well we know the median has to be 4

Since it’s 5 numbers the middle number has to be 4 since its the median.

Let’s put in what we know.

a, b, 4, d, e

Constraints:

There has to be more then 1 “4”.

e-a = 4

So using that information lets solve since the possibility is almost endless

SO lets make e 5 and a 1.

1, b, 4, d, 5

There has to be more then 1 4 so lets put that as b.

We can solve for the last remaining digits.

1+ 4 + 4 + d + 5 / 5 = 4

14 + d /5 = 4

2.2 + d = 4

1.8 = d

So now if we put in order and replace b with 1.8 and make d as the previous “b” as 4.

1, 1.8, 4, 4, 5

Thats your 5 numbers right there.

Check:

Mode is 4: yes!

Range is 4: 5-1 = 4 yes!

Median is 4: yes!

Mean is 4: 1 + 1.8 + 4 + 4 +5 / 5 = 4 yes!

Every thing checks out.

There could be a lot of possibilities.

For example take this wrong one

Lets make the same exact thing except change the a and the e.

THis is what we have,

a, b, 4, d, e

Lets make e and a as 6 and 2.  6-2 is still 4 so its possible.

2, b, 4, d, 6

And of course we need more then 1 4 so lets make d 4.

2, b, 4, 4, 6

Now solve for b in the mean.

2 + b + 4 + 4 + 6  / 5 = 4

16 +b /5 = 4

3.2 + b = 4

Solve

B = 0.8

This doesn’t work cause the median and the range has constraint here…

When doing a median, it has to be in ORDER.

2, 0.8, 4, 4 , 6 isn’t in order

ANd even when put in order.

0.8, 2, 4, 4, 6

THe range has the constraint here becuase 6 - 0.8 isn’t 4.

Leo is testing different types of greenhouse material to determine which type is most effective for growing strawberry bushes. He purchases two different brands of tarps from a local store.

At the end of the study, Leo concludes brand A is more effective in growing strawberry bushes. Is Leo's conclusion valid? please explain how and why so I can understand

Answers

For Leo conclusion to be valid, he should apply both brand A and B to area receiving same amount of sunlight.

How do you convert 3 1/3 yards to inches? Use the drop-down menus to explain your answer.

Answers

Since, there are 36 inches in 1 yard, multiply 3 1/3 by 36

So, 3 1/3 yards = 120 inches

Answer:

120 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert 3 1/3 yards to inches, you first need to figure out how many inches are in one yard. 1 yard=36 inches.

After this, you would turn your mixed fraction into an improper fraction and then multiply by 36 inches. It would look like this:

10/3 * 36/1

Here, you would cancel out the common factors by factoring 36 by 3.

12*3=36 ----> 10/3 * [tex]\frac{3(12)}{1}[/tex] ----->

Lastly, multiply 10 by 12 and your answer would be 120 inches.

a baby weights 7 pounds at birth. the table shows the birth weight after each month of life, up to six months​

Answers

Answer:

y = 1x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take 2 points, with x being the month and y being the weight as the month is listed first in the graph.  

(0, 7) = the 1st point

(1, 8) = the 2nd point

In y=mx+b, m is the slope.

Slope = change in y / change in x = (y₂-y₁) /(x₂-x₁) = (y₁-y₂) / (x₁-x₂) = (8-7)/(1-0) = 1 / 1 = 1 = (7-8)/(0-1) = -1/-1 = 1

Our equation is thus

y = mx + b = y = (1) x + b

Plug one point, such as (1, 8) into this equation to obtain b

8 = (1) (1) + b

8 = 1 + b

subtract 1 from both sides to isolate b

7 = b

our equation is thus

y = (1) x + 7 = 1x + 7

Answer:

w = 1m + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

w = weight

m = months

If we look at the chart, as every month goes by, the baby gains another pound.


Hence, the best way to find the weight is to just add 7 to the months, since in the beginning (at 0 months) the weighs 7 pounds, so if it’s 1 month, the baby would just way 1 more pound.

This is why the formula: w = 1m + 7 works

Because 1 times the value of any month will be the same value, and all you have to do is add 7.

Example:

(x = multiply in this equation)

At 2 months: w = 1 x 2 + 7

Solve:

1 x 2 = 2

2 + 7 = 9


As you can see, all you have to do is fill in the month # in the formula, and you will get your  w (weight).

Hope this helps :)

What is the expected count of visits to the third feeder? You may round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answers

The expected count of visits is the mean or average visits to each feeder

The expected count of visits to the third feeder is 87.5

How to determine the expected count of visit?

The table of values is given as:

Feeder                 1   2    3   4

Observed visits 80 90 92 88

In this case, the null hypothesis implies that the visits to each feeder are uniformly distributed

So, the expected count is calculated using:

Expected count =Visits/Feeders

This gives

Expected count = 350/4

Evaluate the quotient

Expected count = 87.50

Hence, the expected count of visits to the third feeder is 87.5
