At a recent marathon, spectators lined the street near the starting line to cheer for the runners. The crowd lined up 5 feet dee

p on both sides of the street for the first mile. You estimate that 14 people can comfortably fit in a square that measures 5 feet by 5 feet. Using this information, how many people cheered for the runners at the start of the race? 1mile=5280 feet

Answer:

29568 people cheered for the runners at the start of the race

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, the crowd lined up 5 feet deep on both sides of the street for the first mile.

This lined up crowd could be related to a rectangle that is 1 mile long and 5 feet wide.

First, Convert 1 mile to feet

1 mile = 5280 feet

Hence, the length of the rectangle is 5280 feet and the width is 5 feet.

Now, we will determine how many 5 feet by 5 feet square we can get from the 5280 feet by 5 feet rectangle. To do that, we will divide 5280 feet by 5 feet

5280 feet ÷ 5 feet = 1056

Hence, from the rectangle, we can get 1056 5 feet by 5 feet square.

From the question, you estimate that 14 people can comfortably fit in a square that measures 5 feet by 5 feet,

∴ 14 × 1056 people will comfortably fit in the crowed lined up 5 feet deep on one side of the street for the first mile.

14 × 1056 = 14784 people

This is the amount of people that will comfortably fit in the crowed lined up 5 feet deep on one side of the street for the first mile.

Since the crowd lined up on both sides of the street, then

2 × 14784 people will comfortably fit in the crowed lined up 5 feet deep on both sides of the street for the first mile

2 × 14784 = 29568 people

Hence, 29568 people cheered for the runners at the start of the race.

<span>200 < 225 + 80x < 550

The 200 is the amount the Jenna currently have. 
225 + 80x is the amount that Jenna has to pay given x number of hours.
550 is the sum of Jenna's 200 and additional 350 she can get by selling pre-ordered Cds. This is the maximum amount she can pay for the studio rental and sound technicians.

225 + 80x < 550
80x < 550 -225
80x < 325
80x / 80 < 325/80
x < 4.06 or 4 hours

225 + 80x </span>→ 225 + 80(4) = 225 + 320 = 545
<span>
The number of hours for the sound technician will range from 1 hour to 4 hours. 

Assuming they will use 6 hours.

225 + 80(6) = 225 + 480 = 705
705 - 550 = 155

Jenna has to raise an additional $155 to pay off the studio rent and 6 hours of sound technicians.

The mean time it takes to walk to the bus stop is 8 minutes (with a standard deviation of 2 minutes) and the mean time it takes
11111nata11111 [884]
(a) Average time to get to school
Average time (minutes) = Summation of the two means = mean time to walk to bus stop + mean time for the bust to get to school = 8+20 = 28 minutes

(b) Standard deviation of the whole trip to school
Standard deviation for the whole trip = Sqrt (Summation of variances)

Variance = Standard deviation ^2
Therefore,
Standard deviation for the whole trip = Sqrt (2^2+4^2) = Sqrt (20) = 4.47 minutes

(c) Probability that it will take more than 30 minutes to get to school
P(x>30) = 1-P(x=30)
Z(x=30) = (mean-30)/SD = (28-30)/4.47 ≈ -0.45
Now, P(x=30) = P(Z=-0.45) = 0.3264
Therefore,
P(X>30) = 1-P(X=30) = 1-0.3264 = 0.6736 = 67.36%

With actual average time to walk to the bus stop being 10 minutes;

(d) Average time to get to school
Actual average time to get to school = 10+20 = 30 minutes

(e) Standard deviation to get to school
Actual standard deviation = Previous standard deviation = 4.47 minutes. This is due to the fact that there are no changes with individual standard deviations.

(f) Probability that it will take more than 30 minutes to get to school
Z(x=30) = (mean - 30)/Sd = (30-30)/4.47 = 0/4.47 = 0

From Z table, P(x=30) = 0.5
And therefore, P(x>30) = 1- P(X=30) = 1- P(Z=0.0) = 1-0.5 = 0.5 = 50%

\frac{women students}{total students} =\frac{714}{1295} x 100 = 55%
