Determine whether the data described below are qualitative or quantitative and explain why. The area codes (such as 617 )of the telephones of survey respondents:

a. The data are quantitative because they consist of counts or measurements.
b. The data are quantitative because they don't measure or count anything.
c. The data are qualitative because they don't measure or count anything.
d. The data are qualitative because they consist of counts or measurements.

c. The data are qualitative because they don't measure or count anything.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the case of the area codes, the value although is a number and follows some logic, it does not represent a quantity and any mathematical operation on it has no meaning. The number does not measure or count anything.

They have the same meaning as the name of the city or the area.

the value of v.w= -12.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given three vector r,v and w as:

r = < 5, -5, -2> ; v = < 2, -8, -8> ; w = < -2, 6, -5>

we know that r,v and w could also be represented as:

r=5i-5j-2k

v=2i-8j-8k

and w= -2i+6j-5k

where i,j and k are the unit vectors of x,y and z-axis respectively.

also we know that it has the following property:

i.i=1 ; j.j=1; k.k=1

and i.=j.i=i.k=k.i=j.k=k.j=0

i.e. when we multiply two vectors or we find it's dot product we need to only multiply the components of x coordinates with each other; y with each other and z with each other.

hence, v.w= (2i-8j- -2i+6j-5k)

                  = 2×(-2)+(-8)×(6)+(-8)×(-5)

                  = -4-48+40

                  = -12

hence, v.w= -12
