If Dave drives at a steady speed of 50 mph, how long will it take him to drive 10 miles?

50 miles = 1 hour
10 miles = 1/50 x 10
= 1/5 hours
= 12 minutes

It will take him 12 minutes to drive 10 miles.

SOMONE PLEASE HELP ME ASAPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!! I WILL GIVE YOU A GOOD RATE AND MARK YOU THE BRAINLIEST JUST ANSWER THIS CORRECTLY AN

Okay. I’m no mathematician, but I’m pretty sure it would be 995/90 = h. I used the “/” as the divide symbol. This would be the equation because you need to divide the total by the cash per hour to be able to get the number of hours the plumber worked. I really hope this helps!

Suppose that W1, W2, and W3 are independent uniform random variables with the following distributions: Wi ~ Uni(0,10*i). What is

nadya68 [22]

I'll leave the computation via R to you. The $W_i$ are distributed uniformly on the intervals $[0,10i]$ , so that

$f_{W_i}(w)=\begin{cases}\dfrac1{10i}&\text{for }0\le w\le10i\\\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}$

each with mean/expectation

$E[W_i]=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty wf_{W_i}(w)\,\mathrm dw=\int_0^{10i}\frac w{10i}\,\mathrm dw=5i$

and variance

$\mathrm{Var}[W_i]=E[(W_i-E[W_i])^2]=E[{W_i}^2]-E[W_i]^2$

We have

$E[{W_i}^2]=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty w^2f_{W_i}(w)\,\mathrm dw=\int_0^{10i}\frac{w^2}{10i}\,\mathrm dw=\frac{100i^2}3$

so that

$\mathrm{Var}[W_i]=\dfrac{25i^2}3$

Now,

$E[W_1+W_2+W_3]=E[W_1]+E[W_2]+E[W_3]=5+10+15=30$

and

$\mathrm{Var}[W_1+W_2+W_3]=E\left[\big((W_1+W_2+W_3)-E[W_1+W_2+W_3]\big)^2\right]$

$\mathrm{Var}[W_1+W_2+W_3]=E[(W_1+W_2+W_3)^2]-E[W_1+W_2+W_3]^2$

We have

$(W_1+W_2+W_3)^2={W_1}^2+{W_2}^2+{W_3}^2+2(W_1W_2+W_1W_3+W_2W_3)$

$E[(W_1+W_2+W_3)^2]$

$=E[{W_1}^2]+E[{W_2}^2]+E[{W_3}^2]+2(E[W_1]E[W_2]+E[W_1]E[W_3]+E[W_2]E[W_3])$

because $W_i$ and $W_j$ are independent when $i\neq j$ , and so

$E[(W_1+W_2+W_3)^2]=\dfrac{100}3+\dfrac{400}3+300+2(50+75+150)=\dfrac{3050}3$

giving a variance of

$\mathrm{Var}[W_1+W_2+W_3]=\dfrac{3050}3-30^2=\dfrac{350}3$

and so the standard deviation is $\sqrt{\dfrac{350}3}\approx\boxed{116.67}$

# # #

A faster way, assuming you know the variance of a linear combination of independent random variables, is to compute

$\mathrm{Var}[W_1+W_2+W_3]$

$=\mathrm{Var}[W_1]+\mathrm{Var}[W_2]+\mathrm{Var}[W_3]+2(\mathrm{Cov}[W_1,W_2]+\mathrm{Cov}[W_1,W_3]+\mathrm{Cov}[W_2,W_3])$

and since the $W_i$ are independent, each covariance is 0. Then

$\mathrm{Var}[W_1+W_2+W_3]=\mathrm{Var}[W_1]+\mathrm{Var}[W_2]+\mathrm{Var}[W_3]$

$\mathrm{Var}[W_1+W_2+W_3]=\dfrac{25}3+\dfrac{100}3+75=\dfrac{350}3$

and take the square root to get the standard deviation.

Can someone help me with this algebra question? I don’t get it :( and I’m not tryna fail

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

if f(x)=3x-1 and g(x)=2x+5 then

f(x)-g(x)=3x-1-(2x+5)

f(x)-g(x)=3x-1-2x-5

f(x)-g(x)=x-6
