An ecologist studying starfish populations collects the following data on randomly selected 1-meter by 1-meter plots on a rocky coastline
--The number of starfish in the plot
--The total weight of starfish in the plot
--The percentage of area in the plot that is covered by barnacles (food for starfish)
--Whether or not the plot is underwater midway between high and low tide
How many of these measurements can be treated as contituous random variables and how many as discrete random variables?

A compound statement is a statement that combines two or more simpler statements using logical connectives such as "and", "or", "not", "if-then", "if and only if", etc. To write a compound statement in symbolic form, you can use logical symbols to represent the different parts of the statement.

"∧" (and) is used to connect two statements, meaning that both statements must be true for the compound statement to be true. For example, "P ∧ Q" is read as "P and Q" and represents the statement "P and Q are true."

"∨" (or) is used to connect two statements, meaning that at least one of the statements must be true for the compound statement to be true. For example, "P ∨ Q" is read as "P or Q" and represents the statement "P or Q is true."

"¬" (not) is used to negate a statement, meaning that the statement is false if the original statement is true and vice versa. For example, "¬P" is read as "not P" and represents the statement "P is false."

"→" (if-then) is used to connect two statements, meaning that if the first statement is true, then the second statement must also be true. For example, "P → Q" is read as "if P then Q" and represents the statement "if P is true, then Q is also true."

"↔" (if and only if) is used to connect two statements, meaning that the two statements are either both true or both false. For example, "P ↔ Q" is read as "P if and only if Q" and represents the statement "P is true if and only if Q is true."

For example, the compound statement "If it is raining, then I will bring an umbrella, but if it's not raining, I will wear sunglasses" can be written in symbolic form as:

(R → U) ∧ (¬R → S)

Where "R" represents the statement "it is raining", "U" represents the statement "I will bring an umbrella" and "S" represents the statement "I will wear sunglasses".

Step-by-step explanation:

A

for the triangles to be similar by the AA postulate then 2 angles in both triangles must be congruent.

In this case we are only given 1 pair of congruent angles.

Thus not able to say similar by AA postulate, therefore Sharon is incorrect in her assumption.

B

the sides are of different lengths but the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

[tex]\frac{JK}{GH}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{8}{4}[/tex] = 2 and [tex]\frac{JL}{GI}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{10}{5}[/tex] = 2

If the ratios of 2 pairs of corresponding sides of 2 triangles are equal and the included angles are congruent , then the triangles are similar, so

Δ GHI and Δ JKL are similar by the SAS postulate

C

the ratios of corresponding sides are equal , then

[tex]\frac{KL}{HI}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{JL}{GI}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{KL}{7}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{10}{5}[/tex] = 2 ( multiply both sides by 7 to clear the fraction )

KL = 14

Large: 34/8.5=4ft

4-2.5=1.5ft

We can solve the given linear equation 7x = 5y by plotting the graph of x and y on the coordinate plane.

An equation is known to be a linear equation in two variables if it is written in the form of ax + by + c = 0, where a, b and c are real numbers and the coefficients of x and y, i.e a and b respectively, are not equal to zero.

First, solve for x

7x = 5y

Divide both sides by 7

7/7 x = 5/7 y

Dividing by 7 undergoes the multiplication by 7

x = 5/7 y

Similarly, solve for y

7x = 5y

Divide both sides by 5

7/5 x = 5/5 y

Dividing by 5 undergoes the multiplication by 5

y = 7/5 x

The probability that the bead taken from the bag is purple or red is total is 0.75 or 3/4.

The total number of beads in the bag is 12.

Out of these, 3 are purple and the rest are red (12-2-1-3 = 6). So, the probability of drawing a purple bead is 3/12 and the probability of drawing a red bead is 6/12.

To find the probability of drawing either a purple or red bead, we add the individual probabilities together: (3/12) + (6/12) = 0.25 + 0.5 = 0.75. This means that there is a 75% chance that the bead taken from the bag will be purple or red.

The dimensions of the original sandbox was 2 ft X 2 ft..

Let, The original has a length of Xft and a width of Xft

The area of original sandbox is X^2 ft^2

As per given statement,

The new sandbox would have a length of (X+4)ft and a width of (X+5)ft

So, the area of new sand box would be: (X+4)(X+5) ft^2

Given, the area of new sandbox will be 38 square feet greater than the area of the original sandbox.

so,

X^2+38 = (X+4)(X+5)

or, X^2+38 = X^2 + 9X + 20

Eliminating X^2 from both side

0r, 9X+ 20 = 38

0r, 9X = 18

0r, X = 18/9 = 2

So, we assumes that the original has a length of Xft and a width of Xft

We can use the Z-score formula to determine what percent of patients have a score equal to or lower than the patient's score of 45 on the cognitive abilities test.

What does math's % mean?

In essence, percentages are fractions with a 100 as the denominator. We place the percent symbol (%) next to the number to indicate that the number is a percentage. For instance, you would have received a 75% grade if you answered 75 out of 100 questions correctly on a test (75/100).

The Z-score formula is:

Z = (X - M) / SD

Where:

X = Patient's score (45)

M = Mean score (52)

SD = Standard deviation (5)

Plugging in the given values:

Z = (45 - 52) / 5

Z = -7 / 5

Z = -1.4

This Z-score of -1.4 corresponds to a percentage of approximately 9.1% of patients who have a score equal to or lower than the patient's score of 45 on the cognitive abilities test.

It is important to note that this percentage is approximate, as it's calculated based on the standard normal distribution table which provides approximate values, and it assumes the scores of the test are normally distributed, in case this assumption is not met the result may not be accurate.

The value of x is 10.66

Complementary angles  is when the sum of two angles is equal to 90 degrees. for example, 30 degrees and 60 degrees are complementary angles.

If the sum of two angles is 90 degrees then we say that they are complementary. Thus, the complement of an angle is obtained by subtracting it from 90. for example the complement of 40° is 90° - 40° = 50°

So we have Sin A and Cos B

4x + 10+ 2x + 16= 90

Collect like terms

6x+ 26= 90

6x= 90-26

a) The line segments that have the arrow sign on them mean that they are parallel, so AE || BC ( || = parallel to).

b) When two line segments have a dashed line on it, it shows that they are the same length, so AB is equal to BC.

c) when two segments intersect with a 90° angle, they are perpendicular, so AE⊥ED &ED⊥CD(⊥ = perpendicular to).

Bar charts display categorical variables, whereas histograms display numerical or quantitative data.

The frequency distribution of a few data points for one variable is represented graphically by a histogram. Heterogeneous "bins" or "range groups" are frequently used in histograms in order to categorize data and count the number of data points that are part of each bin.

Among graphing tools, the histogram is widely used. It is utilized to encapsulate discrete or continuous data that is measured on an interval scale. It is frequently employed as a convenient way to highlight the key characteristics of the data distribution.

Histograms show numerical or quantitative data, whereas bar charts show categorical factors. The numerical data in a histogram will typically be continuous in most cases (having infinite values). It would be ridiculous to attempt to plot an axis that included every potential value for a continuous variable.

In our question, it is given that previously wendy took ‘m’ minutes to commute.

Now she reduced her daily commute by 75% after learning how to fly.
