The time taken for Jenny to run the same distance at 10% faster is 13.05 seconds

<h3>Percentage</h3>

  • Distance Adam runs = 100m
  • Time taken by Adam = 14.5 seconds
  • Distance Jenny runs = 100m

Time taken by Jenny = 14.5 - (10% × 14.5)

= 14.5 - (0.1 × 14.5)

= 14.5 - (1.45)

= 13.05 seconds

Therefore, the time taken for Jenny to run the same distance is 13.05 seconds

What is the equation of the line shown in the graph drag &amp; drop the expressions ro write the equation of the line in slope i
vredina [299]

Answer:

y = 2(x + 3) +  (-2) is the  required equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the given points are A( -1,2) and B(-3-2)

Now, slope of the equation = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}  = \frac{-2 -2}{-3-(-1)}   = \frac{-4}{-2}   = 2

Hence, the slope of the equation is m = 2

Now, by POINT SLOPE FORMULA:

The equation of a line with slope m and point (x0, y0) is given as

(y - y0) = m (x -x0)

So, here the equation of line with (-3, -2) is

y - (-2) = 2 (x - (-3))

or, y + 2 = 2(x + 3)

⇒  y = 2(x + 3) +  (-2) is the  required equation.

3n-8+2(5n+3)=8n+5+4n
DaniilM [7]
<span>3n-8+2(5n+3)=8n+5+4n first I will do the multiplication
3n-8+10n+6=8n+5+4n Now I will simplify
13n -2 = 12n +5 Now I will add 2 to both sides
13n = 12n + 7 then I subtract 12n from both sides
n = 7</span>

A researcher is interested in finding a 95% confidence interval for the mean number minutes students are concentrating on their
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

A. Normal

B. Between 40.08 minutes and 43.92 minutes.

C. About 95 percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population mean number of minutes of concentration and about 5 percent will not contain the true population mean number of minutes of concentration.

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean \mu = p and standard deviation s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

x% confidence interval:

A confidence interval is built from a sample, has bounds a and b, and has a confidence level of x%. It means that we are x% confident that the population mean is between a and b.

Question A:

By the Central Limit Theorem, a normal distribution.

Question B:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1 - \alpha.

That is z with a pvalue of 1 - 0.025 = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

M = 1.96\frac{12}{\sqrt{150}} = 1.92

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 42 - 1.92 = 40.08 minutes

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 42 + 1.92 = 43.92 minutes

Between 40.08 minutes and 43.92 minutes.

Question C:

x% confidence interval -> x% will contain the true population mean, (100-x)% wont.

So, 95% confidence interval:

About 95 percent of these confidence intervals will contain the true population mean number of minutes of concentration and about 5 percent will not contain the true population mean number of minutes of concentration.

Umnica [9.8K]

D. Both Kurt and Maria are right, because 3,585 should be rounded up to 3,600, and 21% of this amount can be approximated by either finding 10% of 3,600 and multiplying the result by 2 or by finding 1/5 of 3,600.

The weight of a box varies directly as the volume of the box . If a 138 - pound box has a volume of 23 gallons , what is the wei
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

150 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

138lb/23 gal = x/25 gal

cross multiply and solve for x

23x = 138·25

x = 3450/23

x = 150 lb
