Sisters Rosey and Valerie specialize in two different triathlon events. Rosey finds that her average cycling speed is 7 mph fast

er than Valerie's average running speed.
Rosey can cycle 32 miles in the same time that it takes Valerie to run 18 miles.
If Valerie's running speed is n miles per hour, solve for n.

An Internet reaction time test asks subjects to click their mouse button as soon as a light flashes on the screen. The light is
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

(a) 0.20

(b) 31%

(c) 2.52 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable <em>Y</em> models the amount of time the subject has to wait for the light to flash.

The density curve represents that of an Uniform distribution with parameters <em>a</em> = 1 and <em>b</em> = 5.

So, Y\sim Unif(1,5)

(a)

The area under the density curve is always 1.

The length is 5 units.

Compute the height as follows:

\text{Area under the density curve}=\text{length}\times \text{height}

                                          1=5\times\text{height}\\\\\text{height}=\frac{1}{5}\\\\\text{height}=0.20

Thus, the height of the density curve is 0.20.

(b)

Compute the value of P (Y > 3.75) as follows:

P(Y>3.75)=\int\limits^{5}_{3.75} {\frac{1}{b-a}} \, dy \\\\=\int\limits^{5}_{3.75} {\frac{1}{5-1}} \, dy\\\\=\frac{1}{4}\times [y]^{5}_{3.75}\\\\=\frac{5-3.75}{4}\\\\=0.3125\\\\\approx 0.31

Thus, the light will flash more than 3.75 seconds after the subject clicks "Start" 31% of the times.

(c)

Compute the 38th percentile as follows:

P(Y

Thus, the 38th percentile is 2.52 seconds.

The number of employees per department are normally distributed with a population standard deviation of 198 employees and an unk
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

EBM = +-54.126

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we have confidence interval to be 80%

The formula to solve this is in the attachment.

Bar X = 1460

Z-alpha/2 = 1.282

Sd = standard deviation = 198 employees

n = 22 departments

After we have inserted all values in to the formula we have:

1460 +-(1.282*198/√22)

= 1460+-(54.12604)

= (1405.87, 1514.126)

The error bounded mean EBM

= +-z-alpha/2 x (sd/√n)

= 1.282 x 198/√22

= 1.282 x 42.22

EBM = +-54.126

78 is 15% of what #?
nirvana33 [79]
1. 78 = 0.15x
    78 / 0.15 = x
    520 = x.....so 78 is 15% of 520

2. | 3x - 2 | = 8                               | x + 1 | = 1

3x - 2 = 8      -(3x - 2) = 8            x + 1 = 1          -(x + 1) = 1
3x = 8 + 2      -3x + 2 = 8             x = 1 - 1           -x - 1 = 1
3x = 10           -3x = 6                  x = 0                 -x = 2
x = 10/3           x = -2                                             x = -2

ur answer is : x = -2

3. 3y - 4x + 5 = 0
    3y = 4x - 5
      y = 4/3x - 5/3
   slope = 4/3

3(2c-8) - 10c &gt; 0 can some one explain how to solve this ?​
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

c < - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3(2c - 8) - 10c > 0 ← distribute and simplify left side

6c - 24 - 10c > 0

- 4c - 24 > 0 ( add 24 to both sides )

- 4c > 24

Divide both sides by - 4, reversing the inequality symbol as a consequence of dividing by a negative quantity.

c < - 6
