Monroe County is trying to determine where to place the county fire station. The locations of the county’s four major towns are as follows: (10, 20), (60, 20), (40, 30), and (80, 60) (see Figure 7.50). Town 1 averages 40 fires per year; town 2, 25 fires; town3, 20 fires; and town 4, 30 fires. The county wants to build the fire station in a location that minimizes the average distance that a fire engine must travel to respond to a fire. Because most roads run in either an east-west or a north-south direction, the fire engine must do the same. For example, if the fire station islocated at (30, 40) and a fire occurs at town 4, the fire engine has to travel *80 2 30* 1 * 60 2 40* 5 70 miles to the fire.
a. Determine where the fire station should be located.b. Use SolverTable to see how the optimal location of the fire station changes as the number of fires at town 3 changes.

For example, if the fire station is located at (30, 40) and a fire occurs at town 4, the fire engine has to travel |80 - 30| + |60 - 40| = 70 miles to the fire.
a. Determine where the fire station should be located. Round your answers to three decimal places.

Dr. Barton hypothesizes that if 1st grade students are assigned to practice sight word flashcards for 10 minutes every day for their first semester, they will end up reading more books in their second semester. She creates two groups of 25 students each and gives each group the same sight word flashcards. Group A is assigned to practice with the flashcards for 10 minutes every day for their first semester. Group B is not given this assignment. Each group is tasked with keeping a reading log during their second semester. At the end of 1st grade, Dr. Barton counts how many books each group has read. Group A read 68 books, and Group B read 92 books.
The control group is:
The independent variable is:
The dependent variable is:
This study shows that there is a positive correlation between 10 minutes of daily flashcard practice of sight words and the amount of books read. T/F
This study is an example of descriptive research. T/F

In Plan I, the service connects city A with city B through city C where the rail makes a stop to load or unload passengers. The rail transportation system is assumed to be perfectly symmetrical with respect to direction of travel. PLAN I The link travel times are 2 hours between each pair of cities in both directions. The time it takes to service the train at each node is 0.5 hours. In the alternative Plan II, the train company considers to stop servicing the smaller city C, in order to provide a better level of service for the users in the city A and city B. PLAN II According to Plan II, the travel time between the major cities A and B in both directions will be reduced to 3.5 hours.

- USA. Benjamin Banneker (1731-1806) is one of the great American heroes of all time. The son and grandson of Africans captured and enslaved, he was fortunate to have been born free. He inherited the family farm where he worked hard all of his life. As a child he had a few months of schooling. Everything else he had to do on his own. He loved mathematics and science but did not get a chance to learn astronomy until he was in his fifties. Then he performed a near miracle, learning it all in less than a year. In his hand-written journal, he recorded two right triangle examples that interested him. You can solve them here and remember the great man who enjoyed geometry. On the page in his journal next to the August 1775 astronomy calculations, Banneker wrote, in the style of that time: Suppose a ladder 60 feet long be placed in a Street so as to reach a window on the one Side 37 feet high, and without moving it at bottom, will reach another window on the other side of teh Street which is 23…arrow_forwardThe Phony TV company makes two different types of television sets, OLED and LED, which are assembled by two different assembly lines.
