The following pieces of empirical evidence have been collected over the years: Historical trend data show an increase in temperature globally Levels of carbon dioxide gas are on the rise Levels of methane gas are on the rise Glacial ice is melting Antarctic and Artic sea ice is melting Which statement best explains the significance of this empirical evidence?



a
It provides a hypothesis for the climate of the past.
b
It provides data for science journals and textbooks.
c
It supports the scientific explanation for global warming.
d
It predicts future weather patterns.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

C. It supports the scientific explanation for global warming.

Explanation:

The listed pieces of empirical evidence support the scientific explanation for global warming. Global warming is the long-term heating of Earth's climate, and the increase in levels of carbon dioxide and methane is the reason why glacial ice in the Antarctic and Arctic sea is melting.

These pieces of evidence don't deal with the past of the future. They tell us what is going on right now. Based on them, we could make an assumption about what is going to happen in the future, but there are no predictions here.

Also, this data can be used for science journals and textbooks, but that purpose is not expressed here.

This leaves us with option C as the correct one.

What are the mean and (sample) standard deviation?

a. Mean: 1.228, Standard Deviation: 0.2135
b. Mean: 1.325, Standard Deviation: 0.1674
c. Mean: 1.292. Standard Deviation: 0.2211
d. Mean: 1.228, Standard Deviation: 0.2098
e. Mean: 1.292, Standard Deviation: 0.2135

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean is the ratio of sum of the dataset to the sample size. Mathematically:

[tex]\overline x = \frac{\sum Xi}{N}[/tex]

Xi are the individual periods

N is the sample size

[tex]\sum Xi = 1.06+1.31+1.28+0.99+1.48+1.37+0.98+1.31+1.59+1.55\\\sum Xi = 12.92[/tex]

N = 10

Substitute

[tex]\overline x = \frac{12.92}{10}\\\overline x = 1.292[/tex]

hence the mean of the samples is 1.292

For the standard deviation:

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\sum (x-\overline x)^2}{N} } \\[/tex]

[tex]\sum (x-\overline x)^2 = (1.06-1.292)^2+ (1.31-1.292)^2+ (1.28-1.292)^2+ (10.99-1.292)^2+ (1.48-1.292)^2+ (1.37-1.292)^2+ (0.98-1.292)^2+ (1.31-1.292)^2+ (1.59-1.292)^2+ (1.55-1.292)^2\\\sum (x-\overline x)^2 = 0.43996[/tex]

Substitute into the formula:

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{0.43996}{10} }} \\\sigma = \sqrt{{0.043996}}} \\\sigma = 0.2098[/tex]

Hence the standard deviation is 0.2098

Three Rivers publishes a catalog each year, last year it had 198 pages back and front. We

print 150 copies. How much does it cost the college if a ream, 500 pages, cost

$7.40 each?

Answers

Answer:

$222

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find how many ream was used in the printing forts, to determine how much the College spent.

The catalog is 198 pages, back and front, which means, 1 leaf will take 2 pages. Therefore, 99 pages were used in printing 1 copy of the catalog.

No of pages that were used in printing 150 copies = 150*99 = 14,850 pages.

If 500 pages = 1 realm, therefore,

14,850 pages = 14,850/500 = 29.7.

Since, it's a full team that is sold, let's approximate the number of reams bought to be 30 reams.

If 1 ream costs $7.40, therefore,

30 reams = 30*7.40 = $222

Answer:

About 66.67%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 1 yard is 3 ft. we can say 3 ft. is 100%

By this statement we can also say that 1 ft. is about 33.34%

This means that 2 ft. is 66.67%

Step-by-step explanation:

Low‑density lipoprotein, or LDL, is the main source of cholesterol buildup and blockage in the arteries. This is why LDL is known as "bad cholesterol." LDL is measured in milligrams per deciliter of blood, or mg/dL. In a population of adults at risk for cardiovascular problems, the distribution of LDL levels is normal, with a mean of 123 mg/dL and a standard deviation of 41 mg/dL. If an individual's LDL is at least 1 standard deviation or more above the mean, he or she will be monitored carefully by a doctor. What percentage of individuals from this population will have LDL levels 1 or more standard deviations above the mean?

Answers

Answer:

The percentage of individuals from this population will have LDL levels 1 or more standard deviations above the mean is 16%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X represent the LDL levels.

It is provided that [tex]X\sim N(123, 41^{2})[/tex].

Compute the probability that a randomly selected individual is will have LDL levels 1 or more standard deviations above the mean as follows:

[tex]P(X\geq \mu+\sigma)=P(X\geq 123+41)[/tex]

                      [tex]=P(X\geq 164)\\\\=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\geq \frac{164-123}{41})\\\\=P(Z>1)\\\\=1-P(Z<1)\\\\=1-0.84134\\\\=0.15866\\\\\approx 0.16[/tex]

Thus, the percentage of individuals from this population will have LDL levels 1 or more standard deviations above the mean is 16%.

Are the expressions –0.5(3x + 5) and
–1.5x + 2.5 equivalent? Explain why or why not.

Answers

Answer:

We can check this two ways: distributing the -0.5, and plugging in a number for x.

First, we can check this by distributing the -0.5.  Our equation becomes:

-1.5x -2.5 = -1.5x + 2.5

Clearly, this is not true.  We can show this one more time by plugging in a number for x.  I will use 2.

Now, we evaluate both sides and see if they are equal.

-3 - 2.5 = -3 + 2.5

-5.5 = 0.5

Clearly, this is not true.  These expressions are not equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:   Using the distributive property to expand the first expression, you would get -1.5x - 2.5. Since the constant term does not have the same sign as the second expression, the two expressions are not equivalent. Also, if you substitute in a value for x and evaluate each expression, the values will not be equal.

Write an equation in slope intercept form that passes through the point (3,9) and has a slope of -5
Group of answer choices

1.y = -5x - 24
2.y = 5x + 6
3.y = 5x - 6
4.y = -5x + 24

Answers

Answer:

The answer is y = -5x + 24

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an equation of a line when given the slope and a point we use the formula

[tex]y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)[/tex]

where

m is the slope

( x1 , y1) is the point

From the question we have

[tex]y - 9 = - 5(x - 3) \\ y - 9 = - 5x + 15 \\ y = - 5x + 15 + 9[/tex]

We have the final answer as

y = - 5x + 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Distance between two points :

d = Sqrt[(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²]

x1 = - 1 ; y1 = 3

x2 = 5 ; y2 = - 1

d = Sqrt[(5 - (-1))² + ((-1) - 3)²]

d = Sqrt[(5 + 1)² + (-1 - 3)²]

d = sqrt[(6)^2 + (-4)^2]

d = sqrt(36 + 16)

d = sqrt(52)

d = 7.21
