Graham: -50x + 14,040

Max:  20x + 12,500

   Graham      =        Max

-50x + 14,040 = 20x + 12,500

<u>+50x               </u>   <u>+50x               </u>

            14,040 = 70x + 12,500

<u>          -12,500  </u>  <u>         -12.500 </u>

             1,540  = 70x

              \frac{1,540}{70} = \frac{70x}{70}

                220 = x

Answer: 220 minutes <em>(3 hours 40 minutes)</em>

Answer:

22 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Graham is hiking at an attitude of 14,040 feet, and descending 50 feet each minute.

Let the time when graham and max meet at same point be x minutes.

As, Graham is descending 50 feet each minute, so the position of Graham after x minutes is given by the expression

14040-50x

Now, Max is hiking at an altitude of 12,500 feet and is ascending 20 feet each minute.

As, Max is ascending 20 feet each minute, so the position of Max after x minutes is given by the expression

12500+20x

Now, to get the value of x we need to equate the two expressions.

14040-50x=12500+20x

\implies 70x=14040-12500

\implies 70x=1540

\implies x=\frac{1540}{70}

\implies x=22

Hence, it will take 22 minutes for Graham and Max to meet at the same altitude.

A packet of garden seeds contains 250 seeds. The information printed on the packet indicates that the germination rate for this
Westkost [7]

Answer:

Expectation=240

standard deviation=3.098

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a binomial probability function with n=250 and probability of success is 96%

-The expected value is calculated as:

E(X)=np\\\\=250\times 0.96\\\\=240

Hence, the expected germination is 240 seeds

b. From a above, we have the value of p=0.96 and n=250.

The standard deviation of germination is therefore calculated using the formula:

\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}, \ \ \ \\\\=\sqrt{250\times 0.96(1-0.96)}\\\\\\=3.098

Hence, the standard deviation of germination is 3.098
