it is established that

A square area measuring 1 mile by 1 mile consists of 640 acres

5,280 feet equates to 1 mile

therefore

5,280 * 5,280 = 27,878,400 ft^{2}-------> is equal to 640 acres

using proportions

\frac{27,878,400}{640} \frac{ft^{2}}{acres} = \frac{x}{1} \frac{ft^{2}}{acres} \\\\640*x=27,878,400 \\\\x= \frac{27,878,400}{640}\\\\ x=43,560\ ft^{2}

Determine the length of one side of the square area

=\sqrt{43,560} \\= 208.71\ ft

thus

the solution is

208.71\ ft

A frog is sitting exactly in the middle of a board that is five feet long. Every ten seconds he jumps one foot to the left or on
PIT_PIT [9117]

Answer:

Given that the frog jumps every 10 seconds

   (using digits from a random number table)

  • It requires 7 jumps with 2 in the reverse direction (either left or right) for the frog to get off the board in 60 seconds.
  • Alternatively, 3 jumps in the same direction will also lead to the frog being off the board.
  • Furthermore, it would take 5 jumps with one in the opposite direction within the time limit of 60 seconds to leave the board.

Step-by-step explanation:

A frog positioned right at the center of a 5ft long board is 2.5 ft away from either edge.

Every 10 seconds, the frog jumps left or right.

If the frog's jumps are LLRLRL, it will remain on the board at the leftmost square.

If it jumps as LLRLL, it will jump off the board after fifty seconds.

Given that the frog jumps every 10 seconds

   (using digits from a random number table)

  • It requires 7 jumps with 2 in reverse direction (either left or right) for the frog to get off the board in 60 seconds.
  • Alternatively, 3 jumps in the same direction will also lead to the frog being off the board.
  • Furthermore, it would take 5 jumps with one in the opposite direction within the time limit of 60 seconds to leave the board.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau (2016), a substantial pay gap still exists. The average American man, with an advanced colle
Leona [9271]

Answer:

The earnings gap, over a career spanning 30 years, between men and women totals $1,200,150

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculated annually.

The typical male earns $90,761 each year.

The typical female earns $50,756 per annum.

Therefore, the annual difference is:

90,761 - 50,756 = 40,005

Across 30 years:

30*40,005 = 1,200,150

The earnings gap over a 30-year career, when comparing men and women, is $1,200,150

A follow-up study will be conducted with a sample of 20 people from the 300 people who responded yes (support) and no (do not su
PIT_PIT [9117]

Response:

Detailed explanation:

Hello!

Stratified sampling involves the categorization of the population into subgroups based on pre-established criteria for the study. These subgroups consist of homogeneous units concerning the relevant characteristics. In this instance, individuals in the groups will represent only one of the two potential opinions (support or not support) and not both.

The researcher determines the sample size desired, considering several factors such as finances, material availability, and accessibility to experimental subjects (for instance, if they are endangered species, larger sample sizes may not be feasible).

One might conduct proportionate stratified sampling by selecting a proportion of respondents who answered "yes" along with those who answered "no."

In this sampling method, taking a specific proportion from each subgroup allows for a more straightforward extrapolation of results to the overall populations. For example, if you needed a sample size of n = 20, each stratum would ideally contain half, meaning 10 from the “yes” group and 10 from the “no” group.

I hope this is helpful!

\bf \textit{volume of a sphere}\\\\
V=\cfrac{4\pi r^3}{3}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
r=radius\\
-----\\
r_1=5.10\\
r_2=5
\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{V_1}{V_2}\implies \cfrac{\frac{4\pi \cdot 5.10^3}{3}}{\frac{4\pi \cdot 5^3}{3}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{\underline{4\pi }\cdot 5.10^3}{\underline{3}}\cdot \cfrac{\underline{3}}{\underline{4\pi }\cdot 5^3}\implies \cfrac{5.10^3}{5^3}\implies \cfrac{132.651}{125}
