4 0

As you can see in the picture above, there are six faces of a rectangular prism; two are formed with dimensions width and height, two are formed by the dimensions length and width, and two are formed by the dimensions length and height. So, if you know the length, width, and height of the rectangular prism, then the formula for the surface area is

=(2⋅ℎ⋅ℎ)+(2⋅ℎ⋅ℎℎ)+(2⋅ℎ⋅ℎℎ)

Answer:

The total distance covered is 15.6 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

One day you warm up for 15 minutes at a pace of 0.1 miles per 25 seconds.

The rule of three or is a way of solving problems of proportionality between three known values and an unknown value, establishing a relationship of proportionality between all of them. If the relationship between the magnitudes is direct, like in this case, the direct rule of three can be applied as follow:

a ⇒ b

c ⇒ x

Then $x=\frac{c*b}{a}$

First, the simple rule of three can be applied in the following way: if 1 minute equals 60 seconds, 15 minutes equals how many seconds?

$seconds=\frac{15 minutes*60 seconds}{1 minute}$

seconds= 900

So now you can apply the following rule of three: if in 25 seconds you travel 0.1 miles, in 900 seconds how many miles do you travel?

$distance=\frac{900 seconds*0.1 miles }{25 seconds}$

distance= 3.6 miles

If you then ride hard for 12 miles, the total distance traveled will be the sum of both:

3.6 miles + 12 miles = 15.6 miles

The total distance covered is 15.6 miles.

The researcher trains a sample of 16 individuals in mindfulness and then collects data on how long they spend eating per day. Th

Answer:

The calculated t-value is t=0.47.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete:

"Americans typically eat quickly and do not spend time enjoying their meal. A researcher plans to test if those trained in mindfulness will take more time to enjoy their meal (that is, they will spend more time eating than the general population). The general population spends an average of 68 minutes per day combined eating their three meals. The researcher trains a sample of 16 individuals in mindfulness and then collects data on how long they spend eating per day. The sample mean for those trained in mindfulness equals 74; the SS = 150. What is the calculated t-value? Round your answer to two decimal places."

The degrees of freedom are (n-1)=(16-1)=15

The standard deviation is:

$s=\sqrt{\frac{SS}{n-1}}=\sqrt{\frac{150}{16-1}}=\sqrt{10}=3.16$
