Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify Given Values
  • Distance traveled: \( 27 \) meters
  • Time taken: \( 3 \) seconds
Step 2: Use the Speed Formula
  • Speed is calculated using the formula: \( \text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} \)
Step 3: Calculate the Speed
  • Substitute the given values into the formula: \[ \text{Speed} = \frac{27 \, \text{meters}}{3 \, \text{seconds}} = 9 \, \text{meters per second} \]

Final Answer

\(\boxed{9 \, \text{meters per second}}\)

In a study conducted by a human resource management organization, 176 human resource professionals were surveyed. Of those surveyed, 43% said that their companies conduct criminal background checks on all job applicants. Complete parts (a) through (d). a. What is the exact value that is 43% of 176 survey subjects? The exact value is 75.68 (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.) b. Could the result from part (a) be the actual number of survey subjects who said that their companies conduct criminal background checks on all job applicants? Why or why not? A. No, the result from part (a) could not be the actual number of survey subjects who said this because a count of people must result in a whole number. B. Yes, the result from part (a) could be the actual number of survey subjects who said this because the result is statistically significant. C. Yes, the result from part (a) could be the actual number of survey subjects who said this because the polling numbers are accurate. D. No, the result from part (a) could not be the actual number of survey subjects who said this because that is a very rare outcome.
