A turtle swims at a speed of 1584 meters per hour. A girl swims at a speed of 1380 millimeters per second. 10 mm = 1 cm 1 m = 10

0 cm
How much faster does the girl swim than the turtle in centimeters per minute?

The girl's speed is 1380mm/sec * 1cm/10mm * 60sec/minute (since 1cm=10mm and 60 sec=1 minute)= 1380*60cm/10min= 1380*6cm/min
=8280 cm/min. For the turtle, we have 1584 m/hr * 1 hr / 60 min * 100 cm /1m (we have to make sure that they cross out, so e.g. for the hour we multiply it by 1 hr/60 min since the original hour is on the bottom)= 158,400cm/60min
=15840cm/6min
= 2640 cm/min
Since the girl is 8280 cm/min and the turtle is 2640 cm/min, we divide them to get 8280/2640= around 3.136 cm/min

There are 325 children at a zoo. If 64% of the children are boys and the rest are girls how many children at the zoo are girls

natita [175]

kids at zoo, k = 325

percentage boys, b = 64%

percentage girls, g = 100 - b = 36%

number of girls = 325 × 36% = 117

Help with 6 a and b please

Answer:

a) $y=\frac{50}{x}$

b) $y=25$ when $x=2$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y=\frac{k}{x}$ since y varies inversely with x.

We need to find the constant, k.

Let's use a point (x,y) on the curve.

We are given an (x,y)=(5,10):

$10=\frac{k}{5}$

Multiply both sides by 5:

$10(5)=k$

$50=k$ .

So the equation is:

$y=\frac{50}{x}$

What is y when x=2?

$y=\frac{50}{2}$

$y=25$

Answer:

10.93% probability of observing 51 or fewer vapers in a random sample of 300

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to use the normal approximation to the binomial to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

Can be approximated to a normal distribution, using the expected value and the standard deviation.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

When we are approximating a binomial distribution to a normal one, we have that $\mu = E(X)$ , $\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)}$ .

In this problem, we have that:

$n = 300, p = 0.2$

So

$\mu = E(X) = np = 300*0.2 = 60$

$\sigma = \sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{300*0.2*0.8} = 6.9282$

What is the approximate probability of observing 51 or fewer vapers in a random sample of 300?

Using continuity corrections, this is $P(X \leq 51 + 0.5) = P(X \leq 51.5)$ , which is the pvalue of Z when X = 51.5 So

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{51.5 - 60}{6.9282}$

$Z = -1.23$

$Z = -1.23$ has a pvalue of 0.1093.

10.93% probability of observing 51 or fewer vapers in a random sample of 300
