Astudent proposes this hypothesis in class: "if i make the angle of a ramp steeper, then a ball rolling down the ramp will be going faster when it hits the ground.”

which part of a hypothesis should the student add to this that could also be tested in other experiments?

a: an explanation based on prior scientific knowledge or observations
b: an explanation of how the hypothesis will inspire new questions
c: an independent variable that the student controls during the experiment
d: an independent variable that is affected by the other experimental variable

Which fraction below is equivalent to 10/12?

An office supply company conducted a survey before marketing a new paper shredder designed for home use. in the survey, 80 % of the people who tried the shredder were satisfied with it. because of this high satisfaction rate, the company decided to market the new shredder. assume that 80 % of all people are satisfied with this shredder. during a certain month, 100 customers bought this shredder. find the probability that of these 100 customers, the number who are satisfied is 69 or fewer.

Acaterer knows he will need 60, 50, 80, 40 and 50 dinner napkins on five successive evenings. he can purchase new napkins initially at 25 cents each, after which he can have dirty napkins laundered by a fast one-day laundry service (i.e., dirty napkins given at the end of the day will be ready for use the following day) at 15 cents each, or by a slow two-day service at 8 cents each or both. the caterer wants to know how many napkins he should purchase initially and how many dirty napkins should be laundered by fast and slow service on each of the days in order to minimize his total costs. formulate the caterer’s problem as a linear program as follows (you must state any assumptions you make): a. define all variables clearly. how many are there? b. write out the constraints that must be satisfied, briefly explaining each. (do not simplify.) write out the objective function to be minimized. (do not simplify.)
