Answer:

TMS = 45.78 m/s

SMS = 45.66 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Vehicle Travel Time (s)

1 40.5

2 44.2

3 41.7

4 47.3

5 46.5

6 41.9

7 43.0

8 47.0

9 42.6

10 43.3

Time mean speed and space mean speed are parameters used to express the speed of a group of vehicles in traffic flow.

Time mean speed is given as the average speed of all the cars

The speed for each vehicle is calculated by dividing the (2000 ft) distance by the time taken by each vehicle to complete that segment of the journey.

Let vehicle = V

Travel time = time

Speed = s

V | Time | speed (ft/s)

1 | 40.5 | 49.383

2 | 44.2 | 45.249

3 | 41.7 | 47.962

4 | 47.3 | 42.283

5 | 46.5 | 43.011

6 | 41.9 | 47.733

7 | 43.0 | 46.512

8 | 47.0 | 42.553

9 | 42.6 | 46.948

10| 43.3 | 46.189

TMS = (Σsᵢ)/N

Σsᵢ = (49.383+45.249+47.962+42.283+43.011+47.733+46.512+42.553+46.948+46.189)

Σsᵢ = 457.823

N = number of vehicles = 10

TMS = 457.823 ÷ 10 = 45.7823 = 45.782 m/s

b) Space mean speed is given as

SMS = N ÷ [Σ (1/sᵢ)]

V | Time | speed | (1/sᵢ)

1 | 40.5 | 49.383 | 0.02025

2 | 44.2 | 45.249 | 0.02210

3 | 41.7 | 47.962 | 0.02085

4 | 47.3 | 42.283 | 0.02365

5 | 46.5 | 43.011 | 0.02325

6 | 41.9 | 47.733 | 0.02095

7 | 43.0 | 46.512 | 0.02150

8 | 47.0 | 42.553 | 0.02350

9 | 42.6 | 46.948 | 0.02130

10| 43.3 | 46.189 | 0.02165

Σ (1/sᵢ) = (0.02025+0.02210+0.02085+0.02365+0.02325+0.02095+0.02150+0.02350+0.02130+0.02165)

Σ (1/sᵢ) = 0.219

SMS = 10 ÷ [Σ (1/sᵢ)] = 10 ÷ 0.219

SMS = 45.662 m/s

Hope this Helps!!!

What is 3(2x+1)+2(x+3) Help please x
katrin [286]

Answer:

8x + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Treat the question as 2 separate brackets

First expand 3(2x + 1) :

6x + 3

Then expand 2(x + 3) :

2x + 6

Now add the two answers together and simplify :

= 6x + 3 + 2x + 6

= 8x + 9

hope this helps :)

Simplify the expression using trigonometric identities: sec (–θ) – cos θ.
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

sin θ . tan θ

Step-by-step explanation:

Note : -

sec ( - θ ) = sec θ

Formula / Identity : -

sec θ = 1 / cos θ

sec ( - θ ) - cos θ

= [ 1 / cos θ ] - cos θ

{ LCM = cos θ }

= [ 1 / cos θ ] - [ cos²θ / cos θ ]

= [ 1 - cos²θ ] / cos θ

{ 1 - cos²θ = sin²θ }

= sin²θ / cos θ

{ sin²θ = sin θ . sin θ }

= sin θ . sin θ / cos θ

{ sin θ / cos θ = tan θ }

= sin θ . tan θ

Hence, simplified.

The faces of a tetrahedron die are numbered 1 to 4. if each of the 4 sides is equally likely to land down, what is the probabili
Hoochie [10]

The probability distribution for the face landing down =  4/15

<h3>What is the probability?</h3>

The area of mathematics known as probability deals with numerical descriptions of how likely it is for an event to happen or for a claim to be true. A number between 0 and 1 is the probability of an event, where, broadly speaking, 0 denotes the event's impossibility and 1 denotes its certainty.

<h3>According to the given information:</h3>

If we assign 1 probability x

then 2 has probability  1/2 x.

Similarly,

then 3 has probability = 1/2((1/2)*x) = (1/4)*x

so

then 4 has probability = 1/2((1/4)*x) = (1/8)*x

These probabilities need to sum to 1.

Hence:

                x+\frac{1}{2} x+\frac{1}{4} x+\frac{1}{8} x=1

or equivalently

                   (15/8)*x = 1

                       x = 8/15

the probability distribution for the face landing down  = (1/2)*(8/15)

                                                                                         = 8/30

                                                                                         =  4/15

I understand that the question you are looking for is:

A tetrahedral die has four faces, numbered 1-4. If the die is weighted in such a way that each number is twice as likely to land facing down as the next number (1 twice as likely as 2, 2 twice as likely as 3, and so on) what is the probability distribution for the face landing down?
