Answer:

The correct option is;

Simpson Paradox

Step-by-step explanation:

The phenomenon whereby particular trends are prevalent in small data portions but are not evident or an inverse trend is observe when the portions are joined together is known as Simpson's paradox.

Whereby the data for calculating the bating averages as found online are given as follows;

Season,                       Derek Jeter                           David Justice

1995,                           12/48 = 0.250                         104/411 ≈ 0.253

1996,                           183/582 ≈ 0.314                      45/140 ≈ 0.321

The overall hits to the overall bats ratio are;

,         (183 + 12)/(582 + 48) ≈0.310   (104+45)/(411+140) = 0.27

Which shows that  Derek Jeter's overall average was better than Justice's average

The number of a two dollar bill i need to pay for a purchase is 9 more than the number of 5 dollar bills i need to pay for the same purchase what is the cost of the purchase?

Answers

Answer:

$60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say we need t $2 bills and v $5 bills.

We need 9 more $2 bills than $5 bills, so:

t = 9 + v

We also know that the amount of money in t $2 bills is 2 * t = 2t. The amount of money in v + 9 $5 bills is 5 * (v + 9) = 5v + 45. These amounts are equal:

5v + 45 = 2t

Plug v + 9 in for t in 5v = 2t + 18:

5v = 2t + 18

5v = 2 * (9 + v) + 18

5v = 18 + 2v + 18

3v = 36

v = 12

We have 12 $5 bills, so that total cost is 12 * 5 = $60.

There are 30 students in a class. 10 students have a pet dog, 13 students have a pet cat, and 7 students have a pet fish. 4 students have both a pet dog and a pet cat, 6 students have a pet cat and a pet fish, 2 students have a pet dog and a pet fish. 1 student has all three. How many of the 30 students have pets?

Answers

Answer:

9 students have pets

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above question, we are given the following information

Total number of students = 30

Let Pet Dog = D

Pet Cat = C

Pet Fish = F

Number is students that have pet dog

(D) = 10 students

Number of students that have pet cat (C) = 13 students

Number of students that have pet fish (F) = 7 students

Number of students that have Pet dog and cat ( D and C) = 4 students

Number of students that have Pet cat and fish (C and F) = 6 students

Number of student that has pet dog and pet fish (D and F) = 2 students

1 student has all three = ( D and F and C)

Number of student that have a pet Dog only

= n(D) - [n( D and C) + n( D and F) - n(D and C and F)]

= 10 -( 4+ 2 -1)

= 10 - 5

= 5

Number of student that have Pet cat only

= n(C) -[ n( D and C) + n( C and F) - n( D and C and F)]

= 13 -( 4 + 6 - 1)

= 13 - 9

= 4

Number is student that have a pet fish only

= n(F) - [n (C and F) + n( D and F) - n( D and C and F)]

= 7 - [6 + 2 - 1]

= 7 - 7

= 0

The number of students that have pets is calculated as:

(Number of students that have dogs only + Number of student that have cats only + Number of students that have fish only)

= 5 + 4 + 0

= 9

Therefore only 9 students have pets.

What is the vertex of y=-3x^2+6x+15? Help is much appreciated.

Answers

Answer:

(1, 18)

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite the equation in vertex form by completing the square for -3x^2 + 6x + 15. This = -3(x - 1)^2 + 18.

Set y equal to the new right side.

y = -3(x - 1)

Use the vertex form, y = a(x - h)^2 + k, to determine the values of a, h, and k.

a = -3

h = 1

k = 18

Which account has the highest effective annual interest rate? Account 1: Interest is compounded quarterly at an annual rate of 4.20%. Account 2: Interest is compounded monthly at an annual rate of 4.15%. Account 3: Interest is compounded semiannually at an annual rate of 4.10% Account 4: Interest is compounded annually at a rate of 4.25%.

Answers

Answer:

Account 1 has the highest effective annual interest rate (0.042666142)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply the Effective Annual Interest Rate formula:  

EAIR = [(1+r/n)^n ]-1

Where:

r = nominal interest rate

n = number of periods

If interest is compounded annually, then n = 1; if semi-annually, then n = 2; quarterly, then n = 4; monthly, then n = 12

SO:

Account 1: Interest is compounded quarterly at an annual rate of 4.20%.  

EAIR = [(1+r/n)^n ]-1 = [(1+(4.20/100)/4)^4 ]-1 = 0.042666142

Account 2: Interest is compounded monthly at an annual rate of 4.15%.  

EAIR = [(1+r/n)^n ]-1 = [(1+(4.15/100)/12)^12 ]-1 =0.042298535

Account 3: Interest is compounded semiannually at an annual rate of 4.10%

EAIR = [(1+r/n)^n ]-1 = [(1+(4.10/100)/2)^2]-1 = 0.04142025

Account 4: Interest is compounded annually at a rate of 4.25%.

EAIR = [(1+r/n)^n ]-1 = [(1+(4.25/100)/1)^1 ]-1 = 0.0425

Since:

0.042666142 (1) < 0.0425 (4) < 0.042298535(2) <0.041420258(3)

Account 1 has the highest effective annual interest rate 0.042666142

the function that models the relationship. Then select the cost of buying 12 bags.






Answer: g(x)=16.49x+10.50


Total cost of 12 bags

$208.38

Answers

Answer:

g(x) = $16.49x + $10.50

$208.38

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following:

Cost per bag = $16.49

Shipping and handling fee = $10.50

Number of bags ordered = x

If g(x) = total cost of bags

Bag cost = cost per bag × number of bags ordered

Bag Cost = $16.49 * x = $16.49x

Shipping and handling fee = $10.50

Total cost of bags = Bag cost + shipping and handling fee

g(x) = $16.49x + $10.50

Where x is the number of bags ordered.

Therefore, total cost of 12 bags equals ;

g(12) = $16.49(12) + $10.50

g(12) = $197.88 + $10.50

g(12) = $208.38

Answer:

g(x)=16.49x+10.50

$208.38

Step-by-step explanation:

let the cost of x bags = g(x)

cost of one bag = $16.49

cost of x bags = $16.49x

shipping and handling charges = $10.50

total cost of x bags = 16.49x + 10.50

g(x) = 16.49x + 10.50

To determine the cost of 12 bags, substitute x with 12 and simplify:

g(12) = 16.49(12) + 10.50

= 208.38

Answers

Answer:

The answer is

Step-by-step explanation:

If 2cm is 8 feet on the drawing then since 4 is the double of 8,

16 would be the width

8·2=16

For the length, 4 is two less than 6 so, to find the width,

Add 16+2=18

Therefore,

The answer is C.

Length=18 Width=16

Answer:

Length = 24 ft, width = 16 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale is 2 cm (drawing) = 8 ft (real).

The drawing length is 6 cm.

6 cm is 3 times 2 cm

Multiply both sides of the scale by 3.

3 * 2 cm = 3 * 8 ft

6 cm = 24 ft

The real length is 24 ft.

The drawing width is 4 cm.

4 cm is 2 times 2 cm

Multiply both sides of the scale by 2.

2 * 2 cm = 2 * 8 ft

4 cm = 16 ft

The real width is 16 ft.

Answer:

Length = 24 ft, width = 16 ft

The altitude of an object, d, can be modeled using the equation below. d=-16t^2+vh+h.where v is the initial velocity and h is the initial height.A catapult launches a stone with an initial velocity of 48 feet per second and an initial height of 0 feet. How long will the stone be in flight?

Answers

Answer:

The stone will be in flight for 3 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation;

d = -16t^2 + vt + h

Where;

v = the initial velocity

h = the initial height

Given;

v = 48 ft/s

h = 0

Substituting into function d;

d = -16t^2 + 48t + 0

d = -16t^2 + 48t

At the point of launch and the point of landing d = 0.

We need to calculate the values of t for d to be equal to zero.

d = -16t^2 + 48t = 0

-16t^2 + 48t = 0

Factorising, we have;

16(-t+3)t = 0

So,

t = 0 or -t+3 = 0

t= 0 or t =3

Change in t is;

∆t = t2 - t1 = 3 - 0

∆t = 3 seconds.

The stone will be in flight for 3 seconds.

Tamara earns 2,050 every month. She spends 65% on the amount that she earns. The rest of the money is equally divided and deposited into two seperate accounts. How many months until tamara has deposited more than 2,500 in one of her accounts

Answers

Answer:

Tamara earns $2,050 each month.

She spends 65% of that, so the amount that she spends is:

S = (65%/100%)*$2,050 = 0.65*$2,050 = $1,332.50

Then the amount that she has left is:

R = $2,050 -  $1,332.50 = $717.50

Now she divides that in half, and deposits those amounts in two separate accounts.

She deposits $717.50/2 = $358.75 in each acount.

Then she deposits $358.75 per month, so after x months she has:

x*$358.75 in each of those accounts, so one of the accounts will have more than $2,500 when:

x*$358.75 = $2,500

x = $2,500/$358.75 = 6.96

So after 6.96 moths she will have more than $2,500 in one of her accounts, we can round it to:

After 10 months Tamara has deposited more than 2,500 in one of her accounts.
