Read the excerpt from Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson.

Presumptions of guilt, poverty, racial bias, and a host of other social, structural, and political dynamics have created a system that is defined by error, a system in which thousands of innocent people now suffer in prison.

Finally, we spend lots of money. Spending on jails and prisons by state and federal governments has risen from $6.9 billion in 1980 to nearly $80 billion today. . . . State governments have been forced to shift funds from public services, education, health, and welfare to pay for incarceration, and they now face unprecedented economic crises as a result. The privatization of prison health care, prison commerce, and a range of services has made mass incarceration a money-making windfall for a few and a costly nightmare for the rest of us.

The best first step to solving the equation:

Specific individuals in a population are unfairly left out of a study, which is known as exclusion bias. When researchers design a study that inadequately represents specific segments of the community, undercoverage bias emerges.

When a sample is not chosen that accurately represents the full population of data, a statistical error known as sampling error arises. As a result, the sample's findings do not accurately reflect the outcomes that the complete population would produce.

When a sample is chosen from a population based on the idea of randomization, this practise is known as probability sampling.

Answer:

540 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

The car travels 45 kilometers every 1 hour.

In 12 hours, 45 × 12 = 540

The car will have covered a distance of 540 kilometers.

If car travels an average speed of 45km per hour, the car covers a distance of 540 kilometers in 12 hours.

To calculate the distance covered by the car in 12 hours, we can use the formula:

Distance = Speed × Time

Given that the average speed of the car is 45 km per hour and it travels for 12 hours, we can plug these values into the formula:

Distance = 45 km/h × 12 hours

Distance = 540 km

The formula for calculating distance is straightforward: it multiplies the speed (rate of motion) by the time taken. In this case, the car travels at a constant speed of 45 km/h, which means it covers 45 kilometers every hour.

By traveling for 12 hours, it accumulates a total distance of 540 kilometers. This calculation is useful for determining how far an object, in this case, a car, will travel given its speed and the duration of its journey.

The person whose fruit salad will taste more melony is Genesis. The Option B is correct.

A percentage is a value or ratio that may be stated as a fraction of 100. If we need to calculate a percentage of a number, we should divide it's entirety and then multiply it by 100.

We need to compute the melon percentage to determine whose fruit salad will taste more melony:

1. Ownen mixes 14 cups of melon and 3 cups of apple. The percentage for melon will be:

= 14/(3+14) × 100

= 82.3529411765

= 82.35%

2. Genesis mixes 6 cups of melon and 1 cups of apple. The percentage for melon will be:

= 6/7 × 100

= 85.7142857143

= 85.71%

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

A is impossible.

the absolute value of something is always a positive number. the negative sign before it makes it an always negative number. so, this can never be equal to +5.

B is impossible for the same reasons.

the absolute value is always positive and can never be equal to -5.

C is impossible again for the same reasons.

the negative absolute value of x is always negative. subtracting 2 from that makes the result even more negative. this can never be equal to +5.

D is the only fitting option.

we have two extreme points x = -3 and x = 7.

putting them into the equation gives us for x = -3

-|-3 - 2| = -|-5| = -5 => correct

and for x = 7

-|7 - 2| = -|5| = -5 => correct

The correct answer is -|x - 2| = -5

Answer:

For acute angles, remember what sine means: opposite over hypotenuse. If we increase the angle, then the opposite side gets larger. That means "opposite/hypotenuse" gets larger or increases.

Step by Step:

Keep this in mind >>

Consider the unit circle > The sine and cosine ratios are the only ratios that have 1 (the radius or hypotenuse) as the denominator. The numerators (sides) vary between 0 and 1, thus determining that the sine and cosine do the same.

All of the other ratios (tangent, cotangent, secant, cosecant) have a side as the denominator, varying between 0 and 1. As any denominator approaches 0, the value of the ratio approaches infinity.

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the garden that create the maximum area are 5 meters by 15 meters, and the maximum possible area is 75 square meters

What is measurement?

Measurement is the process of assigning numerical values to physical quantities, such as length, mass, time, temperature, and volume, in order to describe and quantify the properties of objects and phenomena.

Let's assume that the rock wall is the width of the garden and the wire fencing is used for the length and the other two sides. Let's denote the length of the garden as L and the width as W.

Since we have 30 meters of fencing available, the total length of wire fencing used is:

L + 2W = 30 - W

Simplifying this equation, we get:

L = 30 - 3W

The area of the garden is:

A = LW

Substituting the expression for L from the previous equation, we get:

A = W(30 - 3W)

Expanding the expression, we get:

A = 30W - 3W²

To find the maximum area, we need to take the derivative of A with respect to W and set it equal to zero:

dA/dW = 30 - 6W = 0

Solving for W, we get:

W = 5

Substituting this value back into the expression for L, we get:

L = 15

Therefore, the dimensions of the garden that create the maximum area are 5 meters by 15 meters, and the maximum possible area is:

A = 5(15) = 75 square meters

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle between the secant and the tangent will be half the measure of the intercepted arc. The two intercepted arcs total 1+5=6 ratio units and 360°. That means each ratio unit represents 60° of arc. The two arcs are 60° and 300°.

Then the two angles at the tangent and secant are ...

  60°/2 = 30° . . . . . . . the one marked in the attache drawing

  300°/2 = 150°

R = (ax - p)/(q + bx)

(ax - p) = R(q + bx)

ax - p = Rq + Rbx

ax - Rbx = Rq + p

x(a - Rb) = Rq + p

x = (Rq + p)/(a - Rb)

Answer:

C. 20

Step-by-step explanation:

60 = 2x + 20  ==> solve for x

60 - 20 = 2x + 20 - 20  ==> subtract 20 on both sides to isolate x

40 = 2x  ==> simplify

x = 40/2  ==> divide both sides by 2 to isolate x

x = 20 degrees

==========================================

Explanation:

Answer:

Given:

Area of the sector (A) = 104π/9 square inches

Central angle (θ) = 65 degrees

The formula for the area of a sector of a circle is:

A = (θ/360) * π * r^2

We can rearrange this formula to solve for the radius (r):

r^2 = (A * 360) / (θ * π)

Plugging in the given values:

r^2 = (104π/9 * 360) / (65 * π)

r^2 = (104 * 40) / 9

r^2 = 4160 / 9

r^2 ≈ 462.22

Taking the square root of both sides:

r ≈ √462.22

r ≈ 21.49

Therefore, the radius of the circle is approximately 21.49 inches.

Answer: (0.4k+0.6w)

Step-by-step explanation:

the answer would be (0.4k+0.6w) Since we do not know the values of k nor w, their coefficients cannot be added together.

The total volume of the solution as an algebraic expression is

0.4k + 0.6w.

An expression is a way of writing a statement with more than two variables or numbers with operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Example: 2 + 3x + 4y = 7 is an expression.

We have,

Amount of acid added to the solution = 40% of k  

Amount of water added to the solution= 60% of w

Now,

The total volume of the solution.

= 40% of k + 60% of w

= 40/100 x k + 60/100 x w

= 0.40k + 0.60w

Thus,

The volume is 0.4k + 0.6w.
