Two trains leave a station at the same time. One train is heading south at a rate that is 1.5 times faster than the other train,

which is heading north. After 5 hours, the trains are 750 miles apart.
1) At what speed, in mph, are the two trains getting farther away from each other?
2) What is the speed, in mph, of the faster train?
3) Suppose the trains simultaneously leave stations that are 450 miles apart and travel toward each other. In how many hours will the trains meet?

Based on the data given, the speeds and time taken are as follows:

  1. The combined speed of the two trains is 150 mph
  2. The speed of faster train 150 x 3/5 = 90 mph
  3. The time taken by the trains to cover 450 miles = 3 hours

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

Speed is the ratio of distance covered and time taken.

  • Speed = distance/time

1)The distance covered by the two trains in 5 hours = 750 miles.

The trains move at a constant speed and their combined speed will be:

Combined speed = 750/5

Combined speed = 150 mph

2) The train heading south has a speed 1.5 times faster than the other train heading north.

Ratio of speeds = 3 : 2

Speed of faster train 150 x 3/5 = 90 mph

3) The combined speed of the trains = 150 mph

Distance to be covered = 450 miles

Time taken = 450/150

Time taken = 3 hours

In conclusion, the speed of the two trains are determined from the distance travelled and time taken.

Answer:

1) 150 mph

2) 90 mph

3) 3 mph

Explanation:

1) The trains move at a constant speed, and after 5 hours they are 750 miles apart. 750/5=150

2) The faster train is 1.5 faster than the slower train, and we know their combined speed is 150 mph. 150/5=30, and 30x3=90.

3) We know that both trains combined travel 150 mph. 450/150=3.

Can anybody help? Having a little trouble with this during quarantine...

First you would have to find the base which would be 9^2 + 9^2= C^2 because of the pythagorean theorem. So the base would equal 12.7. To find the area of a triangle it’s A= h•b / 2. So your answer would be 95.25

30 random samples of high school students were asked if they played a sport for their high school. Each sample was 20 students.
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

<em>a. This option is correct</em>

<em>b. This will be true only if we take the </em><em>mode</em><em> as the best representative value </em>

c. <em>This is a correct choice</em>

<em>d. This is not a correct choice</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Statistics</u>

We are given a dot plot representing 30 random sample proportions of high school students about their sports activities. Based on the data extracted from the plot, we can make some basic conclusions and, less accurately, some predictions.

From the data plot we can see that the following proportions were obtained, along with their absolute frequencies:

0.05 -> 3

0.10 -> 8

0.15 -> 7

0.20 -> 5

0.25 -> 4

0.30 -> 2

Let's select which of the following options are correct

a. A sample proportion of 0.20 means that 4 of 20 high school students responded that they play a sport.

The ratio between the sport playing students to the total of high school students is

\displaystyle \frac{4}{20}=\frac{1}{5}=0.20

Thus, this statement is correct.

b. The best prediction for the proportion of all high school students that play a sport is 0.10.

This will be true only if we take the mode as the best representative value for the whole dataset. Personally, I don't like to trust the mode as a good central tendency result, I'd prefer the mean instead.

c. The mean of the 30 sample proportions calculated to the nearest hundredth is 0.16

Computing the mean of the sample proportions

\displaystyle \bar x=\frac{\sum x_i.f_i}{\sum f_i}

\displaystyle \bar x=\frac{0.00\cdot 1+0.05\cdot 3+0.10\cdot 8+0.15\cdot 7+0.20\cdot 5+0.25\cdot 4+0.30\cdot 2}{1+3+8+7+5+4+2}

\bar x\approx 0.16

<em>This is a correct choice</em>

d. The shape of the sample distribution is fairly symmetrical

We can see the distribution if left-skewed because its peak value is not at the mean value. The mode and the mean are fairly different, thus this choice is not correct

Answer:

X≤10/7

Step-by-step explanation:

7x-4≤6

add 4 both sides

7x-4+4≤6+4

7x≤10

divide 7 both sides

7x/7≤10/7

x≤10/7

hope it's helpful ❤❤❤❤
