You find yourself stuck in a traffic jam. It is not rush hour. You feel frustrated and wonder what is holding up traffic Which of the following are plausible hypotheses for explaining the problem?
Check all that apply.
a) It is Friday the 13th, and you think that because this is considered a day for bad luck, that must be why there is a traffic jam. ?
b) You were in a hurry this morning, and you forgot to bring your lucky rabbit's foot with you. That's why you are now stuck in traffic.
c) There is an accident ahead, which often causes traffic to slow.
d) There is a sale at the mall near an exit up ahead, and everyone on the road is going to the sale
e) Road repairs are being made today, and you didn't know about it.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

There is an accident ahead, which often causes traffic to slow.

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the question closely, we understand that the traffic jam occurred at a time that is not generally regarded as a rush hour.

A traffic jam due to road repair is not really an option because roads are closed during repairs. Shop malls announce their special sales days ahead of time so that many people will hear about it.

However, it is likely that an accident occurred. An road accident may suddenly occur on an otherwise less busy road. This often leads to an unusual delay in traffic irrespective of the hour of the day when it occurs.

In which situation is it best to use a line graph?

A): when the values on both axes are numbers
B): when a grade distribution is displayed
C): when showing trends
D): when representing parts of a whole

Answers

Answer: C): when showing trends

Step-by-step explanation:

A Line graph connects different points such that it appears as a line. For this reason it is very useful in showing the trend in the movement of values overtime.

When plotting line graphs the independent variable for example 'months' is usually put on the x-axis and a dependent variable such as 'temperature' will be on the y-axis.

When plotted, the line will be able to show just how things have changed overtime such that the change is quite easy to see through the movement of the line.

Which expression is equivalent to (73)5 • 74 ?

Select each correct answer.

Question 3 options:

73 • 5 + 4


73 + 5 + 4


73 + 5 • 74


73 • 5 • 74

Answers

The correct answer is D. 73 • 5 • 74

Explanation:

In mathematics, multiplication can be represented by using the symbol × or the symbol ·. Moreover, multiplication can be also represented just by leaving the numbers or values side by side without any symbol. For example, the expression 5x + y implies 5 should be multiplied by x. In this context, the expression (73)5 • 74  indicates 5 should be multiplied by 74, and the result of this should be multiplied by 73 as the lack of symbol indicates multiplication. Therefore, this is equivalent to 73 • 5 • 74.

The completion times for a job task range from 10.1 minutes to 19.2 minutes and are thought to be uniformly distributed. What is the probability that it will require between 12.7 and 16.8 minutes to perform the task

Answers

Answer:

The  probability is  [tex]P(12.7 < x < 16.8 ) = 0.45[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The completion times for a job task range from 10.1 minutes to 19.2 minutes

Generally given that the completion times is uniformly distributed then  the probability that it will require between 12.7 and 16.8 minutes is mathematically represented as

         [tex]P(12.7 < x < 16.8 ) = \frac{ 16.8 - 12.7}{ 19.2 - 10.1 }[/tex]

          [tex]P(12.7 < x < 16.8 ) = 0.45[/tex]

mr udoh invested an amount in two separate finance firms in the ratio 3:5

Answers

Answer:

  $994,594.59

Step-by-step explanation:

If the investments were in the ratio 3:5, the returns on those investments were ...

  3×0.08 +5×0.10 = 0.74 . . . . . ratio units

This return is $92,000, so each ratio unit of investment is ...

  $92,000/0.74 = $124,324.32 (and change)

The total investment was 8 ratio units, so was ...

  $124,324.32 × 8 = $994,594.59 . . . . total amount invested.

_____

Check

3/8 of the invested amount earned 8%, so that interest was ...

  $994,594.59×(3/8)×(0.08) = $29,837.84

5/8 of the invested amount earned 10%, so that interest was ...

  $994,594.59×(5/8)×(0.10) = $62,162.16

The total interest earned was $29,837.84 +62,162.16 = $92,000.

15 ‒ 5x = 6x + 3 – 2x

Answers

Answer:

x = 4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

15 - 5x = 6x + 3 - 2x

In this kind of equation, we try to seperate the x's and the numbers.

So we add 5x to both sides and subtract 3 from both sides to seperate these values

15 - 3 - 5x + 5x = 6x + 3 - 3 - 2x + 5x

=> 12 = 9x

=> 12/9 = x

=> 4/3 = x

=> x = 4/3

To check, we can plug this in.

15 - 5(4/3) = 6(4/3) + 3 - 2(4/3)

15 - 20/3 = 24/3 + 3 - 8/3

45/3 - 20/3 = 24/3 + 9/3 - 8/3

25/3 = 25/3

So our answer works.
