A motorist travels between two towns. It usually takes 6 hours when travelling at a certain speed. He finds that if he reduces his speed by 15 km/hr his journey will take 1 hour more. Find his usual speed.​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

His usual speed is 105 km/hr.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let his usually speed be s km/hr and the distance between the towns be d km. So we have the equations:

s =  d/6

s - 15 = d / (6 + 1)

from the first equation:

d = 6s and from the second:

d = 7(s - 15)

Eliminating d we get:

6s = 7(s - 15)

7s -  105 = 6s

s = 105.

The mean Algebra 2 test score is 81.5, with a standard deviation of 5.1. There are 130 students taking the course. Assuming a normally distributed curve, how many students scored below 76.4?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the random variable representing the algebra test scores of the students. Since it is normally distributed and the population mean and population standard deviation are known, we would apply the formula,

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = sample mean

µ = population mean

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 81.5

σ = 5.1

the probability that a student scores below 76.4 is expressed as

P(x ≤ 76.4)

For x = 76.4

z = (76.4 - 81.5)/5.1 = - 1

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.023

For x = 8

z = (8 - 6)/1 = 2

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.159

Therefore, the number of students that scored below 76.4 is

0.159 × 130 = 21 students

She used [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] of it

i.e. She use [tex]\frac{2}{3}\ of\ \frac{3}{4}\ \text{Pound}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{3}{4}[/tex]

Skyler goes to a school which has 100 students in it. She asks 40 random students whether they like the new 8.30 am start to the day. 30 of them say no they don't like it. Use this information to estimate how many students in the whole school dislike the 8.30 am start.

Answers

Answer: 75 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Skyler goes to a school that has 100 students in it. She asks 40 random students if they like the new 8.30 am start to the day and 30 of them say no they don't like it. This shows that: 30/40 = 3/4 of the students don't like it.

Since the school has 100 students, the number of students that doesn't like the 8.30 a.m start will be:

= 3/4 of 100

= 3/4 × 100

= 3 × 25

Based on the data, what is the experimental probability of landing on yellow?

You may give your answer as a simplified fraction, decimal, or percent.


Answers

Answer:

1/10 or 0.10 or 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the data given, the spinner landed on yellow 2 times out of the 20 times it was spun. Therefore, the experimental probability of landing on yellow, based on the data, is 2/20. If you simplify this, it is 1/10, which is 0.10 as a decimal and 10% as a percent.

As the picture I uploaded, the area is divided into 1 triangle and 2 rectangles.

Add up the area of these figures, we have the total area:

A = area of triangle + area of 2 rectangles.

  = 11 x (3 + 5 + 13 -10)/2 + 4 x 5 + 12 x 13

  = 236.5 (mm2)

Hope this helps!

:)

Answer:

236.5 mm^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can split this up into 2 rectangles:

1 rectangle =  8 * 13 = 104mm^2

2nd rectangle = 4 * (13 + 5) = 4 *18 = 72 mm^2

The base of the triangle = 11mm ,

and the height = (3 + 5 + 13) - 10 = 21 - 10 = 11mm.

So it area = 1/2 * 11 * 11

= 60.5 mm^2.

total area = 104 + 72 + 60.5

= 236.5 mm^2.

Michelle is on a road trip with her family and forgot her charger. At the start of the trip, her phone was at 100%. They are driving from Dallas to San Antonio which is a 4.5-hour drive. Her phone's battery life can be represented by y = -10x +100, where x is hours driving. What is the range of this situation?

Answers

Answer:

55 ≤ x ≤100

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the battery life equation:  y = -10x +100 where x is hours driving

As we know that the maximum value of y = 100% when x= 0

<=> y ≤100

They are driving from Dallas to San Antonio which is a 4.5-hour drive.

=> x = 4.5 so we substitute x into the equation, we have:

y = -10*4.5 +100

<=> y = -45 + 100 = 55

Hence, the range of this situation is:

55 ≤ x ≤100

Hope it will find you well.

Find the surface area of the prism.

Answers

Answer:

2880

Step-by-step explanation:

The base is made up of two triangles and a square, if that makes sense. Finding the area of a triangle is (base x height)/2.  

The base of the tiny triangle is 4 because there is 8 inches extra to the 10 inch square. 10 x 4 = 40.

Now we have a 10 by 10 square: 10 x 10 = 100.

So, the area of the trapezoid is 140. There are two trapezoids in this prism, so both bases are 280.

The surface area of the sides are solved by 12 x 50 = 600. Together, the sides equal 1200.

The top is solved by 10 x 50 = 500.

The bottom is solved by 18 x 50 = 900.

Add them all together: 280 + 1200 + 500 + 900 = 2,880

Compute probability of randomly selected 5 cards from deck of 52 cards and getting only one Jack.

Answers

Answer:

5/25

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability would be that you randomly select 5 cards so the selection goes above the fraction and the total amout of cards goes below.

Answer:

3243 / 10829 ≈ 0.2995

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 52 cards in a deck.  5 cards are selected, so the number of possible combinations is ₅₂C₅.

Of the 5 cards selected, 1 is a Jack and 4 are non-Jacks.

There are 4 Jacks in a deck.  The number of ways of choosing 1 Jack from 4 is ₄C₁.

There are 48 non-Jacks in a deck.  The number of ways of choosing 4 non-Jacks from 48 is ₄₈C₄.

So the probability is:

P = ₄C₁ ₄₈C₄ / ₅₂C₅

P = 4 × 194580 / 2598960

P = 778320 / 2598960

P = 3243 / 10829

P ≈ 0.2995

Suppose the scores on a test given to all juniors in a school district are normally distributed with a mean of 74 and a standard deviation of 8. On a separate sheet of paper, draw a Normal Curve and label the mean, standard deviations, and the associated percentages. Find the percent of juniors who score no more than 90.

PLEASE HELP AHHHH

Answers

Answer:

97.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- Denote a random variable,

           X: Scores of all juniors in a school district centralized test.

- The random variable ( X ) follows normal distribution with the corresponding parameters:

                         X ~ Norm ( μ , σ^2 )

Where,     μ = Mean score

                σ = standard deviation of scores secured

- The given parameters for the normal distribution are:

                        X ~ Norm ( 74 , 8^2 )

- To draw a Normal curve we need to draw a bell shaped curve and annotate the following descriptions:

      Mean ( μ ) : The vertical center-line that bifurcates the normal curve

      1st standard deviation ( μ ± σ ) : First small division to the left and right about the mean ( μ ). [ 74 - 8 , 74 + 8 ] = [ 66 , 82 ]

      2nd standard deviation ( μ ± 2σ ) : Second small division to the left and right about the mean ( μ ). [ 74 - 16 , 74 + 16 ] = [ 58 , 90 ]

      3rd standard deviation ( μ ± 3σ ) : Third small division to the left and right about the mean ( μ ) - tailed. [ 74 - 24 , 74 + 24 ] = [ 50 , 98 ]

- Mark the associated percentage of scores that lies between 1st, 2nd and 3rd standard deviations from the mean ( μ ). Apply the Empirical rule of statistics. Which states:

    p (  μ - σ  ,  μ + σ ) = p ( 66 , 82 ) = 67 %

    p (  μ - 2σ  ,  μ + 2σ ) = p ( 58 , 90 ) = 95 %

    p (  μ - 3σ  ,  μ + 3σ ) = p ( 50 , 98 ) = 99.7 %

- See the attachment for the complete diagram.

- To determine the percentage of students who scored no more than 90 on the test.

- Employ the use of standardizing the required probability by using the following relation:

          p ( X < x ) = p ( Z < [ (x - μ) / σ ] )

          p ( X < 90 ) = p ( Z < [ (90 - 74) / 8 ] )

                             = p ( Z < [ (90 - 74) / 8 ] )

                             = p ( Z < 2 )

- We will employ the use of Empirical rule of second deviation ( μ ± 2σ ) to evaluate the required percentage:

       p (  μ - 2σ  < X <  μ + 2σ ) = p ( 58 , 90 ) = 95 %

       1 - p ( 58 < X < 90 ) = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

       p ( X > μ + 2σ ) = p ( X > 90 ) = [ 1 - p ( 58 < X < 90 ) ] / 2

                                                      = [ 1 - 0.95 ] / 2

                                                      = 0.05 / 2

                                                      = 0.025

Hence,

     p ( X < 90 ) = p ( Z < 2 ) = 1 - p ( X > 90 )

                                            = 1 - 0.025

     Answer                          = 0.975 ( 97.5 )%

A race has 6 competitors. The winner gets a gold ribbon, the second-place finisher gets a blue ribbon, and the third-place finisher gets a red ribbon. In how many ways can the ribbons be awarded?

Answers

Answer:

120 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the number of ways in which the ribbons can be awarded.

There are 6 competitors and there should only be one first position. What this means is that there are 6 possible ways to become first and 6 possible ways to clinch the gold ribbon.

Now, looking at the second position, since one person already claimed the first, there would be only 5 of the competitors jostling for the second position. This means that the number of ways they can claim the blue ribbon is 5 ways

For the fourth position, there are only 4 competitors wanting to claim the red ribbon. This is because we already have winners for the first and second position.

The number of ways this can be done is thus 4 ways

Now the total number of ways the ribbons can be awarded would be 6 * 5 * 4 = 120 ways
