Gemma recently rode her bicycle to visit her friend who lives 6 miles away. On her way there, her average speed was 16 miles per hour faster than on her way home. If Gemma spent a total of 1 hour bicycle, find the two rates.

Answers

Answer 1

first speed --- x mph

return speed -- x+16 mph

6/x + 6/(x+16) = 1

times each term by x(x+16)

6(x+16) + 6x = x(x+16)

x^2 + 4x - 96 = 0

(x-8)(x+12) = 0

x = 8 or x is a negative

her first speed was 8 mph

her return speed was 24 mph

check:

6/8 + 6/24 = 1 , that's good!

According to the Venn Diagram below and given that P(A) = .4 as well as
P(B) = .3 what is P(AUB)?

Answers

Hello,

P(A)=0.4

P(B)=0.3

P(AUB)+P(A∩B)=P(A)+P(B)

P(AUB)=0.4+0.3-0.1=0.6

Answer C

The correct answer is option (C).

P(A ∪ B) = 0.6

Formula to find P(A ∪ B):

If A, B are two different events then P(A U B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B)

We have been given, P(A) = 0.4, P(B) = 0.3

From given Venn diagram,

P(A ∩ B) = 0.10

Now, P(A U B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A ∩ B)

⇒ P(A U B) = 0.4 + 0.3 - 0.10

⇒ P(A ∪ B) = 0.6

Therefore, the correct answer is option (C) .6

when price of indomie noodles was lowered from #50 to #40 per unit, quantity demanded increases from 400 to 600 units per week. calculate the coefficient of price elasticity of demand and determine whether by lowering price this firm has made a wise decision ​

Answers

Answer:

The price elasticity of demand is -10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]p_1,p_2 = 50,40[/tex]

[tex]q_1,q_2 = 400,500[/tex]

Solving (a): The coefficient of price elasticity of demand (k)

This is calculated as:

[tex]k = \frac{\triangle q}{\triangle p}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]k = \frac{500 - 400}{40 - 50}[/tex]

[tex]k = \frac{100}{-10}[/tex]

[tex]k = -10[/tex]

Because |k| > 0, then we can conclude that the company made a wise decision.

Identify the sampling techniques used, and discuss potential sources of bias (if any). Assume the population of interest is the student body at a university. Questioning students as they leave an academic building, a researcher asks 341 students about their eating habits.

1. What type of sampling is used?

a. Systematic sampling is used, because students are selected from a list, with a fixed interval between students on the list.
b. Cluster sampling is used because students are divided into groups, groups are chosen at random, and every student in one of those groups is sampled.
c. Simple random sampling is used because students are chosen at random.
d. Stratified sampling is used because students are divided into groups, and students are chosen at random from these groups.
e. Convenience sampling is used because students are chosen due to convenience of location.

2. What potential sources of bias are present if any. Select all that apply.

a. University students may not be representative of all people in their age group.
b. The sample only consists of members of the population that are easy to get. These members may not be representative of the population.
c. Because of the personal nature of the question, students may not answer honestly.
d. There are no potential sources of bias.

Answers

Answer:

1.  e. Convenience sampling is used because students are chosen due to convenience of location.

2. a. University students may not be representative of all people in their age group.

Step-by-step explanation:

Samples may be classified as:

Convenient: Sample drawn from a conveniently available pool.

Random: Basically, put all the options into a hat and drawn some of them.

Systematic: Every kth element is taken. For example, you want to survey something on the street, you interview every 5th person, for example.

Cluster: Divides population into groups, called clusters, and each element in the cluster is surveyed.

Stratified: Also divides the population into groups. However, then only some elements of the group are surveyed.

Questioning students as they leave an academic building, a researcher asks 341 students about their eating habits.

Students sampled as they leave the build, which is convenience, in this case convenience of location, which means that the correct answer to question 1 is given by option e.

2. What potential sources of bias are present if any. Select all that apply.

Only members of one group are asked(university students), and this may not be representative of the rest of the population, which means that the correct answer to question 2 is given by option a.

In the diagram below, LATE is an isosceles trapezoid with LE ≅ AT , LA = 24, ET = 40, and AT = 10. Altitudes LF and AG are drawn.

What is the length of LF?

Answers

Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

From the Trapezoid attached :

EF = GT

FG = LA

LE = AT = 10

LA = 24 ; FG = 24

FG + EF + GT = 40

Let : EF and GT = x

FG + 2x = 40

24 + 2x = 40

2x = 40 - 24

2x = 16

x = 16 ÷ 2 = 8

Hence, EF = GT = 8

Using Pythagoras :

Opposite² = hypotenus² - Adjacent²

LF² = LE² - FE²

LF² = 10² - 8²

LF² = 100 - 64

LF² = 36

LF = √36

LF = 6

If you draw a card with a value of three or less from a standard deck of cards, I will pay you $41. If not, you pay me $11. (Aces are considered the highest card in the deck). If you played this game 877 times how much would you expect to win or lose?

Answers

There are 12 cards with a value ≤ 3 (3 between 1, 2, and 3, and multiply by 4 to count each suit). So the probability of drawing one of these cards and thus winning the game is 12/52 = 3/13.

The expected winnings for playing this game once are

3/13 × ($41) + 10/13 × (-$11) = $1

so after playing 877 times, you can expect to win a total of $877.

A graph has time (years) on the x-axis and height (inches) on the y-axis. A line goes through points (2, 5) and (4, 10).
The graph shows the height of a tree over time. What can you deduce the rate of change to be from 2 years to 4 years ?
2 inch per year
2.5 inches per year
5 inches per year
10 inches per year

Answers

Answer:

2.5 inches per year

Step-by-step explanation:

We can deduce the rate of change by obtaining the slope or gradient of thw points given :

Gradient = Rise / Run.

Point A (2, 5) ; point B (4, 10)

x1 = 2 ; y1 = 5 ;x2 = 4 ; y2 = 10

Rise = y2 - y1 = 10 - 5 = 5

Run = x2 - x1 = 4 - 2 = 2

Rate of change = Gradient = 5 /2 = 2.5

Which is 2.5 inches per year

What is each of the four sections created by the intersecting lines called?

Answers

Answer:

Quadrants

Step-by-step explanation:

When two lines intersect such that they are perpendicular to each other, then  quadrants are said to be formed. So that a given space would be divided into four quadrants when two perpendicular lines are drawn on it.

Each section which is called quadrant is at right angle to one another. So that the addition of their angles at the meeting point is the sum of four right angles i.e [tex]360^{o}[/tex]. Thus each of the four sections created by the intersecting lines is called a quadrant.

b. 10^6/980
c. 980^3/10^6
d. 980^2/10^3

Answers

Answer:

Amount left is 941.95 g.

Step-by-step explanation:

initial amount = 1000 g

time = 10 years

amount left =  980 grams

Now

[tex]980 = 1000 e^{-\lambda t}\\\\e^{\lambda\times 10}= 1.02\\\\10 \lambda = ln 1.02\\\\\lambda = 1.98\times10^{-3} per year[/tex]

time t = 20 years

Let the amount is N.

[tex]980 = 1000 e^{-\lambda t}\\\\e^{\lambda\times 10}= 1.02\\\\10 \lambda = ln 1.02\\\\\lambda = 1.98\times10^{-3} per year\\N = 980 e^{- 1.98\times 10^{-3}\times 20}\\\\ln N = ln 980 - 0.0396\\\\ln N = 6.88 - 0.0396 = 6.86\\\\N = 941.95 g[/tex]

In a given region, the number of tornadoes in a one-week period is modeled by a Poisson distribution with mean 2. The numbers of tornadoes in different weeks are mutually independent. Calculate the probability that fewer than four tornadoes occur in a three-week period.

Answers

Answer:

0.1512 = 15.12% probability that fewer than four tornadoes occur in a three-week period.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

[tex]\mu[/tex] is the mean in the given interval.

In a given region, the number of tornadoes in a one-week period is modeled by a Poisson distribution with mean 2

Three weeks, so [tex]\mu = 2*3 = 6[/tex]

Calculate the probability that fewer than four tornadoes occur in a three-week period.

This is:

[tex]P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-6}*6^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0025[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-6}*6^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.0149[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-6}*6^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.0446[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = \frac{e^{-6}*6^{3}}{(3)!} = 0.0892[/tex]

Then

[tex]P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.0025 + 0.0149 + 0.0446 + 0.0892 = 0.1512[/tex]

0.1512 = 15.12% probability that fewer than four tornadoes occur in a three-week period.
