Answer:

James can walk 3.75 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use conversion factors to determine the walking speed of James in miles per hour.

James takes 120 steps/minute with each step 2.75 feet long.

∴ If one step is equal to 2.75 feet then 120 steps per minute is:

= 2.75 (feet/step) × 120(steps/minute)

Where steps cancel out and you are left with:

= 330 feet/minute

1 Foot is equal to 0.00018939 miles. Therefore we can determined miles per hour as:

= (330 feet/minute) × (0.00018939miles/foot) × (60 minutes/1 hour)

Feet cancels out with the foot and minutes cancel out with minutes and you are left with:

= 3.75 miles/hour

Speed=120step/min=720step/h
Distance=720step/h×2.75feet/step=1980feet/h=0.375miles/h
So the answer is: he can walking 0.375miles per hour

Triangle XYZ is reflected across the y-axis, and X = (4, –5). What are the coordinates of X’ ?
Nina [5.8K]
The coordinates of X would be X'(-4, -5).

The equation would be P(x,y) -> P'(-x, y) so you would make the x-coordinate a negative number and keep the y-coordinate the same.

5. You answered 21 out of 25 questions correctly on a test. Did you reach your goal of getting at least 80%?
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

You scored more than 80 %

Step-by-step explanation:

21/25  

We need to change this to a decimal, then to a percent

21/25 *4/4 = 84/100

This is out of 100 so it is 84%

84>80.

You scored more than 80 %

Research suggests that about 60% of CSU graduates started at a community college. In random samples of 100 CSU graduates, the pe
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

The probability that in a random sample of 100 CSU graduates the error is within 5% of the population proportion of 60% is 0.6923.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Central limit theorem, if from an unknown population large samples of sizes <em>n</em> > 30, are selected and the sample proportion for each sample is computed then the sampling distribution of sample proportion follows a Normal distribution.

The mean of this sampling distribution of sample proportion is:

 \mu_{\hat p}=p

The standard deviation of this sampling distribution of sample proportion is:

 \sigma_{\hat p}=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

The information provided is:

<em>p</em> = 0.60

<em>n</em> = 100

As <em>n</em> = 100 > 30, the central limit theorem can be applied to approximate the sampling distribution of sample proportions.

The distribution of sample proportion is \hat p\sim N(0.60, 0.049^{2}).

Compute the probability that in a random sample of 100 CSU graduates the error is within 5% of the population proportion of 60% as follows:

P(|\hat p-\mu_{\hat p}|=0.05)=P(-0.05

                             =P(\frac{-0.05}{0.049}

Thus, the probability that in a random sample of 100 CSU graduates the error is within 5% of the population proportion of 60% is 0.6923.
