A federal government agency that is responsible for setting vehicle fuel economy standards for automobile manufacturers is conducting research in order to update its fuel economy standards for the year 2030. Automobile​ manufacturers, and​ consumers, are highly interested in what the​ agency's findings and determinations will be as this will affect every vehicle in the United States. The federal government agency is very interested in the relationship between the weight of a vehicle and the​ vehicle's fuel economy​(average miles per gallon​ (MPG)). Specifically, the agency is concerned that if the current trend of automobile manufacturers producing heavier new vehicles continues that its fuel economy targets will not be met. The​ agency's research department recently collected data for analysis in order to support the​ agency's upcoming discussion with industry regarding its proposed 2030 fuel economy standards. The average MPG from a random sample of 750 vehicles was recently calculated by the agency. The research division also collected the vehicle weight of these 750 randomly sampled vehicles. The Vehicle​ Number, Type, Vehicle​ Weight, Average​ MPG, Fuel Tank Size​ (Gallons), Engine Size​ (Liters), and Meet or Not Meet Current Standards data were collected for these 750 vehicles.
Which of the following most closely describes the method of data collection​ used?
a. Anecdote
b. Controlled experiment
c. Observational study

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Controlled experiment

Answer 2

The method of data collection used by the federal government agency is controlled experiment.

What is Controlled Experiment?

A controlled experiment can be defined as an experiment under which an independent variable is constantly manipulated in order to evaluate its effects on other dependent variables.

The experiment conducted on 750 vehicles by federal government agency to determine the relationship between weight of the vehicle and its fuel economy  is a controlled experiment since the effects of weight of vehicles is observed on their fuel economy, other things remaining constant.

The fuel economy changes with the change in weight of the vehicle. The vehicle weight therefore affects the fuel economy or average MPG of the vehicle.

Therefore the method of data collection used is controlled experiment.

Dionne Washington wants to sell natural fruit flavored water at her neighborhood block party. She wrote the amount of money she spent as a function of the number of bottles sold. Which set of numbers would be an appropriate domain for Dionne's function?

Answers

Complete question is;

Dionne Washington wants to sell natural fruit flavored water at her neighborhood block party. She wrote the amount of money she spent as a function of the number of bottles sold. Which set of numbers would be an appropriate domain for Dionne’s function?

A) 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, …

B) …, −4, −3, −2, −1, 0

C) …, −3, −2, −1, 0, 1, 2, 3, …

D) …, −3.5, −2.5, −1.5, 0, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, …

Answer:

Option A: {0,1, 2, 3, 4,....}

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain is simply a set of input while the range is a set of output values.

For example, if we have a function named f(x) = x², the domain will be all possible values of x being inputed while the range will be the value of f(x) for all possible values of x inputed.

Now, from the question, we are told that she wrote the amount of money she spent as a function of the number of bottles sold.

If the number of bottles sold is denoted by "x", it means the function is; f(x).

Now, number of bottles has to be a non-negative whole number or simply a non-negative integer. Thus, the possible values of x are all non-negative whole numbers like, 0,1, 2, 3, 4, 5....

Thus,domain is {0,1, 2, 3, 4,....}

Answer:

A. 0,1,2,3,4,.....

Step-by-step explanation:

The circle graph shows how the money will be spent for the party.

Food: 30%
Drinks: 20%
Prizes and favors: 35%
Paper productions: 15%




The class has $300 for a party.

A: $35.00
B: $105.00

D: $265.00

Ray OJ bisects Angle LOK.

Measurement of Angle LOK = 82 degrees.

Solve for x.

Answers

Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

<LOJ = 3x

<KOJ = (2x + 12)°

<LOK = 82°

m<LOJ + m<KOJ = m<LOK (angle addition postulate)

3x + 2x + 12 = 82 (substitution)

5x + 12 = 82

5x = 82 - 12 (Subtraction property of equality)

5x = 70

x = 70/5 (division property of equality)

x = 14

The stem-and-leaf plot shows the test scores of a science class. Use the plot to answer the question.
How many students scored 78?

Answers

Answer:

4 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Understanding stem-and-leaf plots

A stem and leaf plot is designed in a way to group the numbers by their values before the ones place;

i.e. 92, 100, 101, 103, 113

Charted as

9 | 2

10 | 0 1 3

11 | 3

So, with that in mind we know 78 is grouped under the 7 | # # #

stem and has the leaf of 8 which is displayed by # | # # # 8

SO,

TO SOLVE:

Count the 8's under the 7 | # # # # group

We can see that there are 4 8's under that section, and assuming that each number is representative of one students score, we can conclude that 4 students scored 78

Answers

Answer:  k = {8, -8}

MLN=QPR. What is the measure of <1 and <2?

Answers

Answer:

B. <1 = 90, <2 = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that ∆MLN = ∆QPR, it follows that the measure of their corresponding angles would be of the same measure.

<P = right angle = 90°

<1 corresponds to <P, therefore, <1 = 90°

<R = 40°

<2 corresponds to <R, therefore, <2 = 40°.

The answer would be: B. <1 = 90, <2 = 40

The points Q, R, S and T all lie on the same line segment, in that order, such that the
ratio of QR:RS: ST is equal to 1:4:5. If QT = 40, find RS.

Answers

Answer:

RS=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

6x+3x+x=10

All parts add up to whole

10x=10

Combine like terms

x=1

Use x to solve for segment lengths:

QR=6x=6(1)=6

RS=3x=3(1)=3

ST=x=1

Therefore RS=3

The length of the line segment RS will be 16 units.

What are collinear points?

An axis is a term used to describe a line on which points are located, particularly if that line is connected to a triangle or other geometric shape. Since two factors determine a line, two points are transparently collinear. If the points are in a line, then the points are collinear points.

Let Q, R, S, and T be the collinear points. Then the condition of the collinear will be

QR + RS + ST = QT

The points Q, R, S, and T all lie on the same line segment, in that order, such that the ratio of QR:RS: ST is equal to 1:4:5. If QT = 40.

Let QR / 1 = RS / 4 = ST / 5 = x

QR = x

RS = 4x

ST = 5x

Then the value of the variable x will be

QR + RS + ST = QT

x + 4x + 5x = 40

10x = 40

x = 4

Then the length of the line segment RS will be

RS = 4x

RS = 4 (4)

RS = 16

Then the length of the line segment RS will be 16 units.

Answers

Answer:

x + 8 = x8

Step-by-step explanation:

This is one of the many ways to rewrite this equation. The reason this is a way of rewriting it is because 3x plus 5x equals 8x and if you take away the variable from 3 and 5 and add the numbers together you get 8. So take the variable x add it to 8 and you get x8. Both equations have the same answer so therefor this is another way of writing the equation.
