Answer:

1150 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of parachute = 207 kilometers per hour

Speed of parachute in meter /second = (207 x 1000)/ (60 x 60)

= 57.5 meter /second  

Parachute fall for 20 seconds with a speed of 57.5 meter /second, Thus the distance covered in 20 seconds  

= 57.5 meter /second x 20 seconds

=  1150 meters.

<span>The speed is 57.5 m/s and the parachutist will fall 1150 m in 20 seconds.

Explanation<span>:
We start out with the ratio 207 km/1 hr.

We know that 1 km = 1000 m; this means 207 km = 207*1000 = 207000 m. This gives us 207000 m/1 hr.

We know that 1 hr = 60 minutes, so we have 207000 m/60 min.

We also know that 1 min = 60 seconds, so 60 min = 60*60 = 3600 sec; this gives us 207000 m/3600 sec.

Dividing this, we get 57.5 m/s.

In 20 seconds, the parachutist will fall 57.5(20) = 1150 m.</span></span>

Assume the time required to complete a product is normally distributed with a mean 3.2 hours and standard deviation .4 hours. Ho
Alex787 [66]

Answer: 3.712 hours or more

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the random variable that denotes the time required to complete a product.

X is normally distributed.

X\sim N(\mu=3.2\text{ hours},\ \sigma=0.4\text{ hours} )

Let x be the times it takes to complete a random unit in order to be in the top 10% (right tail) of the time distribution.

Then, P(\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma})=0.10

P(z>\dfrac{x-3.2}{\sigma})=0.10\ \ \ [z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}]

As, P(z>1.28)=0.10  [By z-table]

Then,

\dfrac{x-3.2}{0.4}=1.28\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=0.4\times1.28+3.2\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=3.712

So, it will take 3.712 hours or more to complete a random unit in order to be in the top 10% (right tail) of the time distribution.

I need help with linear regression ​
frutty [35]

Answer:

<em>In statistics, linear regression is a linear approach to modelling the relationship between a scalar response (or dependent variable) and one or more explanatory variables (or independent variables). The case of one explanatory variable is called simple linear regression. For more than one explanatory variable, the process is called multiple linear regression. This term is distinct from multivariate linear regression, where multiple correlated dependent variables are predicted, rather than a single scalar variable.</em>
