The weight, y, in pounds, of kittens was tracked for the first 8 weeks after birth where t represents the number of weeks after birth. The linear model representing this relationship is ŷ = 1.7 + 1.48t. Statler wanted to predict the weight of a kitten at 10 weeks. What is this an example of, and is this method a best practice for prediction? Explain your reasoning.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The mentioned relationship for the weight, in pounds, of the kitten with respect to time, in weeks, is

[tex]\hat y =1.7 +1.48t[/tex]

Weight of the kitten after 10 weeks

[tex]\hat y =1.7 +1.48\times 10[/tex]

[tex]\hat y =16.5[/tex] pounds

This modeled equation is based on the observation of the early age of a kitten where the kitten is in its growth period, but in the early stage the growth rate in the weight of the kitten was the same but the growth of any living beings continues till the adult stage. So, after some time, in real life situation, this weekly change in weight will become zero, So, this model is not suitable to measure the weight of the kitten over the larger time period.

Here, t= 10 weeks is nearby the observed time period, so the linearly modeled equation can be used to predict the weight.

Hence, the weight of the kitten after 10 weeks is 16.5 pounds.

Answers

Answer:

abosute value is the bigger number regardless of positives and negitives.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

The absolute value of a number means the distance from 0. -7 is further from 0 than 6, therefore, it has a greater absolute value. Keep in mind, absolute value makes all numbers positive.

Given the point (1, 2) and a slope of 4, write the equation in point slope form.

Answers

Answer:

y - 2 = 4(x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use point slope form, y - y1 = m(x - x1), where m is the slope:

Plug in the slope and the given point:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 2 = 4(x - 1)

So, the equation in point slope form is y - 2 = 4(x - 1)

Ron Alotte and Dee Selerate ran a 20 km. Race. Dee made three 10 minute stops during the race to fix her shoes and rest and yet the two racers finished in a tie. If Ron ran the race at a constant speed of 8 km. Per hour, find Dee's average speed when running.

Answers

Answer:

10km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Distance covered by both Dee and Ron= 20km

Ron's speed = 8km/hr

Dee made three 10 minute stops during the race.

Time it took Ron to cover 20km

Time = distance / speed

20km / 8km/hr = 2.5 hours = 150 minutes

Since they both tied ;

Running time of Dee = (150 - (3*10)) = 120 minutes = 2 hours

Ron's speed = distance / time

Speed = 20 km / 2hours

Speed = 10km/hr

The ratio of adult cats to kittens at a pet care center on was 5:2 . There were 12 kittens there that day. Thursday ​, 38 adult cats were at the pet care center. What is the difference between the number of adult cats at the pet care center on thursday and monday?

Answers

Answer:

8 adult cats

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of adult cats to kitten at the pet care center was 5:2

No of adult cats= 5x

No of kitten cats= 2x

Since there were 12 kittens that day

2x= 12

x= 12/2

x= 6

Number of adult cats = 5x

= 5 × 6

= 30 adult cats

Therefore since there were 38 adult cats in the pet center in Thursday then the difference between the number of adult cats in Thursday and Monday can be calculated as follows

= 38-30

= 8 adult cats

Who will get the greater quotient, Susan or Robyn? Write "Susan" or "Robyn." What is Susan's quotient? Write your answer as a whole number. What is Robin's quotient? Write your answer as a whole number.

Answers

Given:

Susan divides the fraction [tex]\dfrac{5}{8}[/tex] by [tex]\dfrac{1}{16}[/tex].

Her friend Robyn divides [tex]\dfrac{5}{8}[/tex] by [tex]\dfrac{1}{32}[/tex].

To find:

The quotient of Susan and Robyn.

Solution:

Susan divides the fraction [tex]\dfrac{5}{8}[/tex] by [tex]\dfrac{1}{16}[/tex].

[tex]\dfrac{\dfrac{5}{8}}{\dfrac{1}{16}}=\dfrac{5}{8}\times \dfrac{16}{1}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{\dfrac{5}{8}}{\dfrac{1}{16}}=\dfrac{80}{8}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{\dfrac{5}{8}}{\dfrac{1}{16}}=10[/tex]

So, Susan's quotient is 10.

Her friend Robyn divides [tex]\dfrac{5}{8}[/tex] by [tex]\dfrac{1}{32}[/tex].

[tex]\dfrac{\dfrac{5}{8}}{\dfrac{1}{32}}=\dfrac{5}{8}\times \dfrac{32}{1}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{\dfrac{5}{8}}{\dfrac{1}{32}}=5\times 4[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{\dfrac{5}{8}}{\dfrac{1}{32}}=20[/tex]

So, Robyn's quotient is 20.

Since 20>10, therefore, Robyn will get greater quotient.

A circuit board manufacturer rejects a 100-ohm resistor if its measured resistance is 0.15 ohm or more away from 100 ohms. Resistors A and B are rejected. Resistor A's resistance differs from 100 ohms by +0.15 ohm. Resistor B's resistance differs from 100 ohms by -0.78 ohm. Which resistor has a resistance closer to 100 ohms?

Answers

Answer:

Resistor A has a resistance closer to 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know which of the two resistors have a resistance closer to 100 ohms

To know the resistance closer to 100, we need to know the absolute value of the resistances

-0.78 has a resistance of 100 - 0.78 = 99.22

The 15 ohms resistor has resistance of 100 + 0.15 = 100.15

Since 100.15 is closer to 100 than 99.22, due to the absolute value of both, then the +0.15 ohm resistor is closer to 100

Step-by-step explanation:

At first, let us find the third angle in the triangle which has a right angle and an acute angle of measure 52°

∵ The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°

∴ 52° + 90° + (6x + 14y)° = 180°

→ Add the like terms

∴ 142° + (6x + 14y) = 180°

→ Subtract 142° from both sides

(6x + 14y)° = 38° ⇒ (1)

→ By using the two triangles

∵ The two triangles are congruent

(15x - 8y) = 52° ⇒ (2)

Now we have a system of equations to solve it

→ Multiply equation (1) by 5 and equation (2) by -2 to make the

   coefficients of x equal in values and different in signs

∵ 5(6x + 14y) = 5(38)

30x + 70y = 190 ⇒ (3)

∵ -2(15x - 8y) = -2(52)

-30x + 16y = -104 ⇒ (4)

→ Add equations (3) and (4) to eliminate x

∵ 86y = 86

→ Divide both sides by 86 to find y

y = 1

→ Substitute the value of y in equation (1) to find x

∵ 6x + 14(1) = 38

∴ 6x + 14 = 38

→ Subtract 14 from both sides

∴ 6x = 24

→ Divide both sides by 6

x = 4

A cone is placed inside a cylinder. The cone has half the radius of the cylinder, but the height of each figure is the same. The cone is tilted at an angle so its peak touches the edge of the cylinder’s base. What is the volume of the space remaining in the cylinder after the cone is placed inside it? (Please explain and show work)

Answers

Answer:   (47/48)*pi*r^2*h

=================================================

Work Shown:

A = volume of the cylinder

A = pi*(radius)^2*(height)

A = pi*r^2*h

-----------

The cone's base has diameter r/2, so its radius is (1/2)*(r/2) = r/4

B = volume of the cone

B = (1/3)*(volume of cylinder with radius r/4 and height h)

B = (1/3)pi*(r/4)^2*h

B = (1/3)*pi*(r^2)/(4^2)*h

B = (1/3)*pi*(r^2)/16*h

B = (1/3)*(1/16)*pi*r^2*h

B = (1/48)pi*r^2*h

B = (1/48)*A

B = (1/48)*(volume of cylinder)

-----------

C = volume of the empty space/air inside cylinder, but outside cone

C = A-B

C = A - (1/48)*A

C = (48/48)A - (1/48)A

C = (48A)/48 - (A/48)

C = (48A-A)/48

C = 47A/48

C = (47/48)*A

C = (47/48)*pi*r^2*h
