Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the distance travelled on 1 gallon of fuel is normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as
z = (x - µ)/σ
Where
x = the distance travelled.
µ = mean distance
σ = standard deviation
From the information given,
µ = 50 miles
σ = 8 miles
A) P(x > 53) = 1 - P(x ≤ 53)
For x = 53,
z = (53 - 50)/8 = 0.38
Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability value corresponding to the z score is 0.648
B) P(x < 42)
For x = 42
z = (42 - 50)/8 = - 1
Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability value corresponding to the z score is 0.1587
C) P(44 ≤ x ≤ 53)
For x = 44
z = (44 - 50)/8 = - 0.75
Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability value corresponding to the z score is 0.2266
For x = 55,
z = (55 - 50)/8 = 0.63
Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability value corresponding to the z score is 0.7357
Therefore,
P(44 ≤ x ≤ 53) = 0.7357 - 0.2266 = 0.5091
Answer:
k = -9.
Step-by-step explanation:
As the triangle is right-angled at Q, by Pythagoras:
PR^2 = PQ^2 + RQ^2
So, substituting the given data and using the distance formula between 2 points:
(7 - 1)^2 + (k - 4)^2 = (-4-4)^2 + (-3-1)^2 + (7 - (-3))^2 + (k - (-4))^2
36 + (k - 4)^2 = 64 + 16 + 100 + ( k + 4)^2
(k - 4)^2 - (k + 4)^2 = 180 - 36
k^2 - 8k + 16 - (k^2 + 8k + 16) = 144
-16k = 144
k = -9.

Answer:
- Tyler
- 2 hundredths of a mile
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph is a little difficult to read, but we note that there are 6 grid lines between times that are 2 minutes apart. So, each grid line stands for 2/6 = 1/3 minute.
At the 1-mile mark, the graph crosses 1 grid line above 8 minutes, indicating it takes Tyler 8 1/3 minutes to run 1 mile.
Then in 10 minutes, Tyler will run ...
distance = speed · time = 1 mile/(8 1/3 min) · 10 min
= 1/(25/3)·10 = 10·3/25 = 30/25 = 1.2 . . . . miles
__
The equation tells you that Elena runs each mile in 8.5 minutes. To see how far she runs in 10 minutes, we can solve ...
10 = 8.5x
x = 10/8.5 ≈ 1.18 . . . . miles
So, Tyler runs farther in 10 minutes by a distance of ...
1.20 -1.18 = 0.02 . . . . miles
Answer:
x+10 x ≠ 60
Step-by-step explanation:
(x^2−50x−600)
----------------------
(x−60)
Factor the numerator
(x-60)(x+10)
-------------------
(x-60)
Cancel the like terms
x+10
