----------------------------------------------
Calculate Jean's rate
----------------------------------------------
Jean takes 8 hours to fill the pool.
So in 1 hour, she can fill 1/8 of the pool

----------------------------------------------
Calculate Mark's rate
----------------------------------------------
Mark takes 12 hours to fill the pool.
So in 1 hour, he can fill 1/12 of the pool.

----------------------------------------------
Calculate their rate if they work together
----------------------------------------------
Jean = 1/8
Mark = 1/12
1/8 + 1/12 = 3/24 + 2/24 = 5/24 
They will fill 5/24 of the pool in 1 hour

----------------------------------------------
Find number of hours needed to fill up the pool
----------------------------------------------
I hour = 5/24 of the pool
1 ÷ 5/24 hour = 5/24 ÷ 5/24 of the pool
24/5 hour =  Whole pool

Whole pool = 24/5 hours 
Whole pool = 4 4/5 hours  or 4.8 hours

----------------------------------------------
Ans: The supervisor is not correct, it will take only 4.8 hours if both of them work together.

Use the position function s(t) = –16t2 + 800, which gives the height (in feet) of an object that has fallen for t seconds from a
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

96 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start by deriving the equation of the velocity, which is the derivative of the position equation:

v(t) = \frac{ds}{dt} = (-16t^2)' + 800' = -32t

After 3 seconds, the wrench would achieve a speed of

v(3) = -32t = -32*3 = -96 ft/s

So it's falling at the rate of 96 ft per second after 3 s

Answer:   39.25

========================================

Work Shown:

d = diameter = 10

r = radius = d/2 = 10/2 = 5

A = area of a full circle

A = pi*r^2 = 3.14*5^2 = 78.5

Cut this in half to get the area of a semicircle (aka half circle)

(78.5)/2 = 39.25

This result is approximate.

Use the given data to find the minimum sample size required to estimate a population proportion or percentage. Margin of​ error:
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer: 112

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Significance level : \alpha=1-0.95=0.05

Critical value: z_{\alpha/2}=1.96

Margin of error : E = 9%=0.09

The estimated proportion of caret : p =0.38

Now, the formula to find the sample size :-

n=p(1-p)(\dfrac{z_{\alpha/2}}{E})^2

i.e. n=(0.38)(1-0.38)(\dfrac{1.96}{0.09})^2

=111.738390123\approx112

Hence, the required minimum sample size = 112
