A college has an acceptance rate of 17%. If 3,240 students apply, about
AnnZ [12381]

Answer:

550

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 17% of the applicants (3,240) will receive acceptance.

0.17 * 3,240 = 550.8

Thus, 550 students will gain acceptance

we must round down since only 17% can be accepted, and having 0.8 of a person is not feasible

hope this helps

Which statements describe a residual plot for a line of best fit that is a good model for a scatterplot? Check all that apply.
babunello [11817]

Response: The accurate statements include:-

There are nearly equal quantities of points located above and below the x-axis.

The points are distributed haphazardly without a distinct pattern.

The total number of points matches that of the scatter plot.

Explanation:

  • A residual plot illustrates residuals on the vertical axis against the independent variable on the horizontal axis.

Consequently, the count of points is on par with the scatter plot, and roughly the same amount of points exist above and below the x-axis.

Given the random distribution of the points throughout the plot, it signifies there is no correlation, therefore, the points are scattered randomly without a clear arrangement.

Find the slope of a pipe that slopes down 2/5 inch per foot.
babunello [11817]

Answer:

m=\frac{1}{30}

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the slope, divide the rise by the run to calculate the slope.

Note that

1 ft = 12 in

Let

y ----> the rise

x ----> the run

m ----> the slope

m=\frac{y}{x}

the values are given as

y=2/5\ in

x=1\ ft=12\ in

m=\frac{y}{x}

substituting these values gives

m=\frac{(2/5)}{12}

m=\frac{2}{60}

Simplifying further

m=\frac{1}{30}

555 grams of wool were needed to knit a sweater, a hat, and a scarf. The hat required 5 times less wool than the sweater and 5 g
Zina [12379]

Answer:

The amount of wool required for a sweater was 400 grams.

A hat needed 80 grams of wool.

A scarf required 75 grams of wool.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ------> grams of wool necessary for a sweater

y -----> grams of wool necessary for a hat

z -----> grams of wool necessary for a scarf

From the information given

x+y+z=555 -----> equation A

y=x/5 ----> x=5y -----> equation B

y=z+5 ---> z=y-5 ----> equation C

By substituting equations B and C into equation A, we can solve for y:

(5y)+y+(y-5)=555

7y=560

y=80 grams

Now, find x

x=5(80)=400 grams

Next, determine z

z=80-5=75 grams

In conclusion,

400 grams of wool was required for the sweater,

the hat needed 80 grams of wool, and

the scarf required 75 grams of wool.
