Answer:

​σ = 2 (option a)

Step-by-step explanation:

You would want the smallest standard deviation possible.

Think of it like this: if everyone, other than you, got only 50, 51, 52, 53 then you would be the ultimate highest position in the class.

As opposed to being an average position if the scores were about                      49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60 ---your score would not put you in the highest position in the class distribution.

So, a standard deviation of ​σ = 2 would give you the highest position in the class distribution.

Question:
ANEK [815]

Answer: Well if you were going to think of a circle you can divide it into 4 equal sizes in one of the is equal to two pentagons and a half. If you add all is equal to a loop full of pentagons [which makes 10 pentagons]. Because the ring is made out of regular pentagons, we can work out that each of the interior angles of each pentagon is 108* degrees. By extending the lines that two pentagons share, assuming they will all meet in the middle, it will create a triangle. As we know each angle of a [regular] pentagon is 108* degrees, we know the two base angles of the triangle would equal to 72** which leaves the top angle to be 36 degrees. As [the sum of] angles at a point is 360 degrees, and 36 is divisible by 360, it will make a complete ring. Also, as 360 ÷ 36 = 10, we know that the ring will be made out of 10 pentagons. as formula to calculate the the size of a interior angle of a polygon is (n×180−360)÷n (for n being the number of sides that the polygon has). because the triangle is made by extending the lines, and angles on a line is 180 degrees, 180−108 (an interior angle of a pentagon) =72.

A tennis player has won 24 out of 36 matches. His sponsor says that he must win 70% of his total number of matches to qualify fo
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

He must win 11 more matches to qualify for the bonus.

Step-by-step explanation:

24/36 * 100 = 67% (to the nearest %) - This is the current percentage of what the Tennis player has won.

If we add 14 more matches on to the 36 the player has already played, we know that the Tennis player plays 50 matches in total.

Let's say the Tennis player was playing 100 matches, they would need to win 70 or more to qualify for the bonus. Because the player is playing half this amount of matches, we half the amount of games they have to win...

35/50 games or more must be won to qualify for the bonus. The Tennis player has already won 24 matches, so must win 11 more matches to qualify for the bonus.

Hope that helps!

When running a 100 meter race Bill reaches his maximum speed when he is 45 meters from the starting line and 5 seconds have elap
Mkey [24]

Bill's speed is constant after 5 seconds and 45 meters into the race.

Correct responses:

a. Bill's maximum speed is 8 m/s

b. 24 meters

c. 57 meters

<h3>Methods used to calculate speed and distance traveled</h3>

Given parameters are;

The distance of the race = 100 meter

Distance at which Bill reaches maximum speed = 45 meters

Speed Bill maintains after 5 seconds = The maximum speed

Time at which Bill is 85 meters from the starting line = 10 seconds after start

a. Required;

Bill's maximum speed in meters.

Solution:

Distance Bill runs at maximum speed, d = 85 m - 45 m = 40 m

Time at which Bill runs the 40 m at maximum speed, <em>t</em> = 10 s - 5 s = 5 s

Speed = \mathbf{\dfrac{Distance}{Time}}

Therefore;

  • Bill's \  maximum \ speed = \dfrac{40 \ m}{5 \ s} = \underline{8 \ m/s}

b. i. Required:

The distance Bill will run for 3 seconds at the maximum speed;

Solution:

Distance,<em> s</em> = Speed, <em>v</em> × Time, <em>t</em>

<em />

The distance traveled at maximum speed in 3 seconds is therefore;

Distance = 8 m/s × 3 s = 24 m

The distance Bill travels in 3 seconds at the maximum speed is 24 meters.

ii) The distance Bill travels at 8 seconds after start, is given as follows;

Distance traveled in the first 5 seconds = 45 meters

Distance traveled in the next 3 seconds = 24 meters

Therefore;

  • Bill's distance from the starting line 8 seconds after start is 45 meters + 25 meters = <u>69 meters</u>

c. Bill's distance 6.5 seconds after the start of the race is given as follows;

Distance traveled in the first 5 seconds = 45 meters

Distance traveled in the next 1.5 seconds = 1.5 s × 8 m/s = 12 meters

  • Bill's distance from the starting line 6.5 seconds after start of the race = 45 meters + 12 meters = <u>57 meters</u>

For the reaction 2Fe + O2 → 2FeO, how many grams of iron oxide are produced from 42.4 mol of iron?
Butoxors [25]

In the balanced reaction

2 Fe + O₂   →   2 FeO

2 moles of iron (Fe) react with 1 mole of molecular oxygen (O₂) to produce 2 moles of iron oxide (FeO). The ratio of Fe to FeO is 1-to-1, so if one starts with 42.4 mol of Fe, one will end up with the same amount of FeO, 42.4 mol.

Look up the molar mass of Fe and O:

• Fe = 55.845 g/mol

• O = 15.999 g/mol

Then the molar mass of FeO is approximately 71.835 g/mol, and so the mass of 42.4 mol of FeO is

(42.4 mol) × (71.835 g/mol) ≈ 3050 g
