A parachutist's rate during a free fall reaches 99

Georgia [21]3 years ago

First, you need to convert miles to feet 

99 miles * \frac{5280 feet}{1 mile} = 522720 feet

now you can convert feet per hour to feet per second

\frac{522720 feet}{1 hour} *  \frac{1 hour}{60 minutes} *  \frac{1 minute}{60 seconds}

each unit will cancel out so that when you multiply them together the only units you are left with are feet in the numerator and seconds in the denominator

once it is multiplied, you should get

522720 feet/ 3600 seconds

since you want the feet per second, you want the denominator to equal 1, so to do this, you divide the numerator and the denominator by 3600

\frac{522720 feet}{3600 seconds} / 3600

now you should get your answer of 

145.2 feet per second

to get how many feet after 5 seconds you just multiply 145.2 by 5

145.2 * 5 = 726
the parachutist will fall 726 feet during 5 seconds of freefall

hope this helped!

A vending machine operator has determined that the number of candy bars sold per week by a certain machine is a random variable
docker41 [41]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Y represent the profit per day, and x represent the number of bar sold per day. Hence:

Y = 0.25x - 2

a) The mean is given as:

\mu_y=E(Y)=E(0.25X-2) = 0.25E(X)-2\\\\But\ E(X)=mean\ of\ machine=125. Hence:\\\\E(Y)=0.25(125)-2=29.25\\\\E(Y)=\$29.25

b) The standard deviation of y is:

\sigma_y=var(0.25X-2)\\\\\sigma_y=0.25\sigma(X)\\\\but\ \sigma_X=7,hence:\\\\\sigma_y=0.25(7)=1.75\\\\\sigma_y=\$1.75

Find the mode of 7 , 3 , 2 , 5 , 0. Single choice.<br><br><br>2<br><br>0<br><br>No mode​
frez [133]

Answer:

No mode​

Step-by-step explanation:

The mode is the statistical method in which the most repetitive number should be considered

Like if we take an example

1,1, 2, 2, 2, 4, 4,4,4

So here the mode is 4 as 4 is repeated 4 times

But in the given situation there is no mode as every number is written single time
