A clothing company is considering a new insulation for winter coats. To collect customer satisfaction data on the new insulation, the company is considering two methods. Method 1: The company offers the first 50 employees who volunteer to try out a coat with new insulation if they will report their satisfaction level after one month. At the end of the month, the 50 volunteers describe their satisfaction with the coat's performance.

Method 2: The company takes 50 volunteers and randomly assigns 25 of them to coats with the new insulation and the other 25 to coats with the current insulation. All volunteers wear the coats for a month and then describe their satisfaction with the coats’ performance.

Which method describes an experiment?

Method 2 is an experiment because both groups report their satisfaction with the coats.
Method 1 is an experiment because all volunteers receive coats with the new insulation.
Method 2 is an experiment because volunteers are assigned one of the two insulation types.
Method 1 is an experiment because the volunteers’ satisfaction with the new insulation can be measured.

f(x) = - 2/3x + 5; f(5/2)

substitute 5/2 in for x:

f(5/2) = -2/3(5/2) + 5

simplify the right side:

f(5/2) = -5/3 + 5

f(5/2) = 10/3

answer:

f(5/2) = 10/3

i hope this you!

"it's not the heat, it's the humidity".   that's a partly valid phrase you may have heard in the summer, but it's actually both.   the heat index, also known as the apparent temperature, is what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity is combined with the air temperature.   this has important considerations for the human body's comfort.   when the body gets too hot, it begins to perspire or sweat to cool itself off.   if the perspiration is not able to evaporate, the body cannot regulate its temperature.   evaporation is a cooling process.   when perspiration is evaporated off the body, it effectively reduces the body's temperature.   when the atmospheric moisture content (i.e. relative humidity) is high, the rate of perspiration from the body decreases.   in other words, the human body feels warmer in humid conditions.   the opposite is true when the relative humidity decreases because the rate of perspiration increases.   the body actually feels cooler in arid conditions.   there is direct relationship between the air temperature and relative humidity and the heat index, meaning as the air temperature and relative humidity increase (decrease), the heat index increases (decreases).
