Answers

The local minimum over the interval [-3,-1] is 0, the local maximum over the interval [-1,0] is 4.39, local minimum over the interval[0,3]is -32.

Given a graph of a function.

We are required to find:

A)Local minimum over the interval [-3,-1],

B) Local maximum over the interval [-1,0],

C) Local minimum over the interval [0,3].

We know that local maximum is a point after which the value of function starts decreasing and the local minimum is a point after which the value of function starts increasing.

When we see the graph from x=-3 to x=-1 we can find that the highest point is where the value of f(x) is minimum and after which the graph is increasing is at x=-2 and y=0, so the value of local minimum will be 0.

When we see the graph from x=-1 to x=0 we can find that the highest point is where the value of f(x) is maximum and after which the graph is decreasing is at  y=4.39, so the value of local maximum will be 4.39.

When we see the graph from x=0 to x=3 we can find that the highest point is where the value of f(x) is minimum and after which the graph is increasing is at  y=-32, so the value of local minimum will be -32.

Hence the local minimum over the interval [-3,-1] is 0, the local maximum over the interval [-1,0] is 4.39, local minimum over the interval[0,3]is -32.

Suppose we want to choose 7 colors, without replacement, from 12 distinct colors?

Answers

792 different sets of 7 colors can be chosen.

In how many ways can be the 7 colors selected?

Remember that if we have a set of N elements, the number of different sets of K elements that we can make out of these N elements is given by:

C(N, K) = N!/(N - K)!*K!

In this case, we have 12 distinct colors and we want to select 7, so we have:

N = 12

K = 7

Replacing that we get:

C(12, 7) = 12!/(12 - 7)!*7! = 12*11*10*9*8/(5*4*3*2*1) = 792

Answers

The given statement that, decimal, fraction, and percent can all represent the same values is True.

Verification of the True Statement:

The ratio of two numbers results in a fraction which are often rational numbers (often integers). As an illustration, 11/59 is a fraction. Typically, absolute values for fractions should be larger than 0 and less than 1. A mixed fraction equivalent to 1 3/4 is 7/4.

A fraction stated in tenths are known as a decimal (or tenths of tenths, etc.). The decimal equivalent of one fourth, or 1/4 as a fraction, is 0.25 (which equals 25/100). (Remember that 1/100 is just a tenth of a tenth.)

Percentage (percent) is a decimal fraction multiplied by 100. Therefore, 0.25 is equivalent to 25 percent, for instance. The ratio of two numbers results in fractions, which are often rational numbers (often integers).

Let us take a number 3/5, this is a fraction.

Now, if we further divide, 3 by 5, we will get 0.6

This 0.6 is a decimal number, but it still represents the number 3/5

Similarly, it is equivalent to 60 percent which again represent the fraction 3/5 or decimal 0.6.

We have n = 12

df = n- 1 = 11

a. To compute the confidence interval use a t distribution.

The mean = fx/n

level of significance = 0.05

standard deviation = 6.555

t α/2, df = 2.20

standard error  = 6.555 / √ 12 = 1.8922

margin of error , = 2.2 * 1.8922 = 4.1628

barx - E = 15.83 - 4.1628 = 11.6672

barx + E = 15.83 + 4.1628 = 19.9928

How to analyze and interpret quadratic functions?

In this problem we have a quadratic function in standard form, that is, an equation of the form f(x) = a · x² + b · x + c, where a, b and c are real coefficients. a) First, we need to complete the square and find the roots to determine the factorized form:

4 · x² - 7 · x - 15 = 0

4 · [x² - (7 / 4) · x - (15 / 4)] = 0

x² - (7 / 4) · x - (15 / 4) = 0

x² - 2 · (7 / 8) · x - (15 / 4) + (289 / 64) = 289 / 64

x² - 2 · (7 / 8) · x + 49 / 64 = 289 / 64

(x - 7 / 8)² = 289 / 64

x - 7 / 8 = ± 17 / 8

x = 7 / 8 ± 17 / 8

Then, the factor form of the polynomial is f(x) = 4 · (x - 3) · (x + 5 / 4).

b) The values of the x-intercepts of the graph of f(x) are represented by the roots found in part a).

c) The end behavior of the graph is inferred from the lead coefficient. A positive coeffcient , which is the case of the function, indicates that vertex of the polynomial is a minimum and parabola grows in the + y direction.

d) In accordance with algebra, we can generate a quadratic equation by knowing three distinct points on Cartesian plane.

First, mark the two x-intercepts, second, generate a line perpendicular to the x-axis that passes the midpoint of the line segment generated by the two intercepts and, finally, generate a parabola with a minimum and growing in the + y direction.

Find a z-score for a data value of 19 if the mean of a set of data is 37 and the standard deviation is 8.6.

Answers

The z-score for a data value of 19 if the mean of a set of data is 37 and the standard deviation is 8.6 is -2.09

How to determine the z-score of the data value?

From the question, the given parameters about the distribution are

Mean value of the set of data = 37

Standard deviation value of the set of data = 8.6

The actual data value = 19

The z-score of the data value is calculated using the following formula

z = (x - mean value)/standard deviation

Substitute the given parameters in the above equation

z = (19 - 37)/8.6

Evaluate the difference of 19 and 37

z = -18/8.6

Evaluate the quotient of -18 and 8.6

z = -2.09

Hence, the z-score for a data value of 19 if the mean of a set of data is 37 and the standard deviation is 8.6 is -2.09

There's also people in need, so you decide to blend your vacation with volunteering. Volunteering as a tourist, or voluntourism, seems like a great way to explore new regions and help people at the same time. However, this "volunteer plus travel" experience can actually harm local communities. While many teens might view traveling and volunteering abroad as a worthwhile adventure, there are more genuine and effective ways to make a difference.[2] Most would agree that volunteering in general is a worthy use of time. However, what if you found out the children you are "helping" are actually being kept in poor conditions so voluntourists will spend money to come to the local area? Dale Rolfe, a supporter of ethical voluntourism, explains the shocking reality that "Animal sanctuaries and orphanages are often manufactured for the voluntourist...encouraging a cycle of exploiting the very animals and children the volunteers are trying to help."[3] Proponents of the "volunteer plus travel" experience also argue that traveling to new places builds character and is a valuable way to learn about different cultures. With voluntourism, however, participants often pursue experiences that are all about them. For example, they sign up to build a school for a gold star on their resume, but they have no real building skills and take jobs away from local construction workers (Schulten). Or, they arrive to teach English but instead take selfies with the locals. One world traveler and ethical voluntourist believes voluntourism "can perpetuate small minded views of the world by taking insulated, fake, and structured experiences and selling them as unabridged and eye opening" (Carlos). The voluntour experience is a mirage. The voluntourist's eyes are not opened to real life at the destination, and lasting change is not achieved.[4] If you want a genuine experience where you can see a lasting impact, there are better options than voluntourism. You can volunteer in your local community. Give an hour every week to your town's animal rescue. Serve monthly dinners to the homeless. Be a reliable, positive influence on a child who needs a mentor. Studies show that volunteering and forming lasting relationships with those you help has a positive impact on your physical and emotional health. In fact, blood pressure is reduced, memory is improved, and rates of depression are reduced (Michaels).[5] There is another reason to look into alternatives to voluntourism. Did you know the average "voluntour" travel package costs $3,400 (Rolfe)? Could that travel money be better spent? If the world's citizens are your passion, it could go to an international organization. If you care about education, your funds can be used to buy books for students in faraway lands. If you want villagers to have clean water, contribute funds to local efforts to dig wells. If you want to experience a different culture, travel to the country as a guest, and learn from the locals how you can best help them after you've returned home. But do not voluntour.[6] In reality, there are better ways to make a difference. Voluntourism might appear to be an adventure that blends travel and helping others, but it does little except provide a costly, superficial experience that might actually do more harm than good. So, volunteer where you are most needed-at home, where you can stay to see the job through and form genuine, lasting relationships. Choose a beautiful coastline closer to home and send the travel money you saved to an international organization that will put it to good use. Whatever you do, don't turn someone else's hardship into your vacation.How does the speaker's rhetorical question in paragraph 2 support the purpose of the speech? It emphasizes the need for willing and wealthy volunteers to bring help to those less fortunate. It highlights how unfair life can be for certain groups of people throughout the world. It reinforces the idea that voluntourism can harm the people and communities it is meant to help. It reminds the audience that there are some who fight the injustice associated with voluntourism.
