Answer: Destiny's speed is 11 mph.

Alicia's speed is 15 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Destiny and Alicia both leave the coffee shop at the same time, but in opposite directions. If they are 78 miles apart after 3 hours, it means that the total distance that they covered in 3hours is 78 miles

Let x represent the speed at which Destiny travelled. If Alicia travels 4 mph faster than Destiny, it means that the speed at which Alicia travelled is (x + 4) mph

Distance = speed × time

Distance covered by Destiny in 3 hours is

3 × x = 3x

Distance covered by Alicia in 3 hours is

3(x + 4) = 3x + 12

Since the total distance is 78 miles, then

3x + 3x + 12 = 78

6x = 78 - 12 = 66

x = 66/6 = 11 mph

Alicia's speed is

11 + 4 = 15 mph

Answer:

1. line a and c and parallel. line b is perpendicular with line a and c. 2. line b and c and parallel. line a is perpendicular to lines b and c. 3. y= -3x + 3 4. y=(5/3)x - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

To find parallel and perpendicular, make the slope opposite and find b by plugging in the points. Parallel is the same slope.

For a medical study, a researcher wishes to select people in the middle 60% of the population based on blood pressure.
Finger [1]

Answer:

Lower limit: 113.28

Upper limit: 126.72

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 120, \sigma = 8

Middle 60%

So it goes from X when Z has a pvalue of 0.5 - 0.6/2 = 0.2 to X when Z has a pvalue of 0.5 + 0.6/2 = 0.8

Lower limit

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.20. So X when Z = -0.84

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

-0.84 = \frac{X - 120}{8}

X - 120 = -0.84*8

X = 113.28

Upper limit

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.80. So X when Z = 0.84

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

0.84 = \frac{X - 120}{8}

X - 120 = 0.84*8

X = 126.72
