15 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

If you make a table of values for the dog and the squirrel using d = rt, then the rates are easy: the dog's rate is 150 and the squirrel's is 100. The t is what we are looking for, so that's our unknown, and the distance is a bit tricky, but let's look at what we know: the dog is 200 feet behind the squirrel, so when the dog catches up to the squirrel, he has run some distance d plus the 200 feet to catch up. Since we don't know what d is, we will just call it d! Now it seems as though we have 2 unknowns which is a problem. However, if we solve both equations (the one for the dog and the one for the squirrel) for t, we can set them equal to each other. Here's the dog's equation:

d = rt

d+200 = 150t

And the squirrel's:

d = 100t

If we solve both for t and set them equal to each other we have:

$\frac{150}{d+200} =\frac{100}{d}$

Now we can cross multiply to solve for d:

150d = 100d + 20,000 and

50d = 20,000

d = 400

But we're not looking for the distance the squirrel traveled before the dog caught it, we are looking for how long it took. So sub that d value back into one of the equations we have solved for t and do the math:

$t=\frac{100}{d}=\frac{100}{400} =\frac{1}{4}$

That's 1/4 of a minute which is 15 seconds.

Answer from: Quest

i think it is everything has to equal 180 so, if i correct 4=c. 6=d. 8=a. 7=b. and the last question would be c. because they are parallel lines and they are congruent.

step-by-step explanation:

the reason everything has to equal to 180 is because that is how it works. i'm guessing that is its rule. 4 and 8 are congruent and parallel so, that would be 30+30 because they have the same number. it would equal 60. 6 and 7 are congruent and parallel so, that would be 30+30 because they have the same number. it would equal 60. 60+60 is 180. so, now you have your answer

Answer from: Quest

i believe the answer is letter c) 8

Two researchers are attempting to create a new psychotherapy protocol that more reduces panic attacks. they believe that they have succeeded and are now in the clinical trial period of their protocol's development. they are working with several cohort groups, some of which have been through the new protocol, while others have done the standard protocol currently recommended. if these researchers are interested in evaluating the difference in the percentage of test subjects who successfully decreased their panic attacks in 2 months on the new protocol versus the percentage of test subjects who successfully decreased their panic attacks in 2 months with the traditional protocol, which of the following statistical tests would be most appropriate? a. analysis of variance (anova) b. correlation c. chi-square test d. paired t-test e. independent t-test
