Sailboat Races The speed that a sailboat is capable of sailing is determined by three factors: its total length L, the surface area A of its sails, and its displacement V (the volume of water it displaces).
In general, a sailboat is capable of greater speed if it is longer, has a larger sail area, or displaces less water. To make sailing races fair, only boat in the same “class” can qualify to race together. For a certain race, a boat is considered to qualify if
Where L is measured in feet, A in square feet, and V in cubic feet. Use this inequality to answer the following questions.
(a) A sailboat has length
(b) A sailboat has length

- Pediatricians prescribe 5 milliliters (ml) of acetaminophen for every 25 pounds of a child’s weight. How many milliliters of acetaminophen will the doctor prescribe for Emilia, who weighs 60 pounds?arrow_forwardCicadas are flying, plant-eating insects. One species, the 13-year cicadas (Magicicada), spends five juvenile stages in underground burrows. During the 13 years underground, the cicadas grow from approximately the size of a small ant to nearly the size of an adult cicada. The adult body weights (BW) in grams and wing lengths (WL) in millimeters are given for three different species of these 13-year cicadas in the following table. It is of interest to determine if body weight is a significant predictor of wing length for a 13-year cicada. Considering all assumptions for a parametric test are satisfied, use the obtained jamovi © outputs below to answer the following: Is there a linear relationship between body weight and wing length of 13-year cicadas at 5% level of significance?arrow_forwardCicadas are flying, plant-eating insects.
