Suppose we did an experiment to gather data on the number of un-popped kernels of microwave popcorn. Half of the students in your class took home a bag, put it in the freezer overnight, and popped it the next day. The other half took the bag, left it on their kitchen counter overnight, and popped it the next day. Each group counted the number of un-popped kernels. Are these data paired or independent
The data collected on the number of un-popped kernels of popcorn, where one group's bags were frozen and the other's were left at room temperature, are considered independent. This is because each bag was only subjected to one condition and was not measured in both conditions, which would be necessary for paired data.
In the question provided, students collected data on the number of un-popped kernels of microwave popcorn where one group froze the popcorn while the other left it at room temperature. To determine whether the data are paired or independent, we need to understand the nature of the experiment setup.
Since every student’s popcorn was subject to a unique condition (frozen or room temperature) and they're not measured in both conditions, we can deduce that the data here are independent. This means that the outcome of one does not influence the outcome of the other.
In comparison to a scenario where the same item or subject is tested under two different conditions the popcorn experiment does not meet this criterion; that would be an example of paired data. An unpaired test such as the unpaired t-test may be appropriate here if we want to assess the effects of freezing on the number of un-popped kernels compared to leaving them at room temperature. Each bag of popcorn represents an independent sample from the population of all popcorn bags.

Of all rectangles with a perimeter of 21 21, which one has the maximum area? (give the dimensions.) let a be the area of the rectangle. what is the objective function in terms of the width of the rectangle, w?
To find the rectangle with the maximum area, we need to find the dimensions and write the objective function in terms of the width of the rectangle.
Explanation:To find the rectangle with the maximum area, we need to find the dimensions of the rectangle that will give us the maximum area. Let's assume the width of the rectangle is w. Since the perimeter of the rectangle is given as 21, we can write the equation:
2w + 2l = 21
We can rearrange this equation to solve for l:
2l = 21 - 2w
l = (21 - 2w)/2
The area of the rectangle can be calculated as:
A = w * l
Substituting the expression for l we obtained earlier:
A = w * (21 - 2w)/2
Expanding and simplifying this equation will give us the objective function in terms of the width w.

Given the function f(x)=-5x^2-x+20 find f(3)
f(3) = -5*3^2 - 3 + 20 = -5*9 - 3 + 20 = -45 - 3 + 20 = -28;
Answer: - 28
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = -5x^2 - x + 20
To find f(3), we simply put x = 3 and then simplify
f(3) = - 5(3)^2 - 3 + 20
= -5(9) - 3 + 20
= -45 - 3 + 20
= -48 +20
= -28
f(3) = -28

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
3 option is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given Triangle RST has vertices R(2, 0), S(4, 0), and T(–3, –1). The image of triangle RST after a rotation has vertices R'(0, –2), S'(0, –4), and T'(–3, –1).
We have to tell the rule describes the transformation.
A rotation is transformation that turns a figure about a fixed point. An object and its rotation are the same shape, but the figures may turned or rotate in different directions.
Here, the coordinates shift after rotation according to the rule
(2,0) → (0,-2) i.e (x, y) → (y, -x)
As, Rotation of 270º on coordinate axes.
(x, y) → (y, -x)
which match to the given rule.
hence, 3 option is correct.

All tutors that are employed at a local college must take a test and must score in the top 20%. if the scores are normally distributed with a mean of 78 and a standard deviation of 5, what is the cutoff score to be hired?
To solve this problem, we use the z statistic with formula:
z = (x – u) / s
or
x = s z + u
First we find the value of z at P = top 20%
z = 0.84
So the cut-off is:
x = 5 * 0.84 + 78

Triangle LMN is positioned inside rectangle LKPN as shown in the diagram. Which is the area of △LMN△LMN?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the triangle inside the rectangle is calculated by using the formula for the area of a triangle, 1/2 * base* height. Given the base is the length of the rectangle and the height is the breadth of the rectangle, we substitute these measurements into the formula to determine the area. Area of triangle LMN is 15.6 square cm.
Explanation:To determine the area of the triangle inside the rectangle, we first need to understand the relationship between these two shapes. Given the base of the triangle, LN, is the same as the length of the rectangle, 6.5 cm, and the triangle is between the parallel lines of the rectangle, we can infer that the height of the triangle is the same as the breadth of the rectangle, which is 4.8 cm.
Now, the area of a triangle is given by the formula 1/2 * base * height.
Substituting the given measurements into this formula, we get
= 1/2 * 6.5 cm (base) * 4.8 cm (height)
= 0.5 * 6.5 cm (base) * 4.8 cm (height)
= 15.6 square cm
This will give us the area of the triangle LMN.

The base of a box is a rectangle. The width of the box is half its length. The height of the box is 0.5m. Find the volume of the box if the area of the base is 1.08m² less than the combined area of the sides.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume the box is open-top.
If the width of the box is represented by w, then its length is 2w. The area of the base is then w·2w = 2w².
The combined area of the sides is the product of the perimeter of the base, 2(w+2w) = 6w and the height, 0.5, so is 3w.
Since the base area is 1.08 m² less than the lateral area, we have
... 2w² = 3w -1.08
... 2w² -3w +1.08 = 0 . . . . rearrange to standard form
... w² -1.5w +0.54 = 0 . . . make the leading coefficient 1 (divide by 2)
... (w -0.9)(w -0.6) = 0 . . . factor
The width of the box may be either 0.6 meters or 0.9 meters.
The volume is the product of width, length, and height
V = w·2w·0.5 = w²
V = 0.36 m³ . . . or . . . 0.81 m³. . . . . . (there are two possible answers)
