Answer:

74 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find out the average speed, divide the total distance by the total time

Let

s ----> the speed in mph

d ---> the distance in miles

t ----> the time in hours

so

s=\frac{d}{t}

step 1

Find the total time

A sailboat started his journey at 6:30 am and reached his destination at 11:45 pm

so

from 6:30 am to 12:00 pm ----> there are 5 hours + 30 minutes=5.5 hours

from 12:00 pm to 11:45 pm ----> there are 11 hours + 45 minutes=11.75 hours

The total time is

5.5+11.75=17.25\ hours

step 2

Find the average speed

s=\frac{d}{t}

we have

d=1,276.5\ mi

t=17.25\ hours

s=\frac{1,276.5}{17.25}= 74\ mph

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

Option C: 2 books for $14, 5 books for $35

Step-by-step explanation:

A proportional relationship between two quantities would always have a constant of proportionality. Thus,

Constant of proportionality, k = y/x

In this case,

x = quantity of books

y = price

Let's see which pair will have a constant of proportionality:

Option A: 4 books for $24,8 books for $40

24/4 = 6;

40/8 = 5.

No constant of proportionality.

Option B: 5 books for $25, 6 books for $36

25/5 = 5

36/6 = 6

No constant of proportionality.

Option C: 2 books for $14, 5 books for $35

14/2 = 7

35/5 = 7

Constant of proportionality, k = 7.

This pair represents a proportional relationship.

Option D: 3 books for $15, 7 books for $28

15/3 = 5

28/7 = 4

No constant of proportionality.

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!
Sonbull [250]
2x^2 - 7x - 6 = 0

x1 = \frac{- b  +  \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac }}{2a}
x2 = \frac{- b   -   \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac }}{2a}
where a=2
where b=-7
where c=-6

solve for x1 and x2

x1=4.21
x2=-0.71

If K is the midpoint of JL , JK = 6x + 11 and KL = 16x +1, find JL.<br> Pls I need help
Korvikt [17]

Since K is the midpoint of JL and we know that JK and KL are separate segments of JL, JK and KL are equal to each other.

6x + 11 = 16x + 1

Subtract 6x and 1 from both sides

10 = 10x

Divide both sides by 10

1 = x

We also know that:

JL = JK + KL = 6(1) + 11 + 16(1) + 1 = 6 + 11 + 16 + 1 = 34

A vending machine automatically pours soft drinks into cups. The amount of soft drink dispensed into a cup is normally distribut
labwork [276]

Answer:

a) P(X>8)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{8-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{8-7.6}{0.4})=P(Z>1)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and the standard normal table or excel:

P(Z>1)=1-P(Z

b)P(X

And we can find this probability using the standard normal table or excel:

P(Z

c) For this case we have a total of 868 cups and we know that the fraction of cups that will be overflow is 0.159, so then the expected number of cups overflow would be:

N = 868*0.159= 138.012 \approx 138

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the amount of soft frink of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(7.6,0.4)  

Where \mu=7.6 and \sigma=0.4

We are interested on this probability

P(X>8)

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X>8)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{8-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{8-7.6}{0.4})=P(Z>1)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and the standard normal table or excel:

P(Z>1)=1-P(Z

Part b

We are interested on this probability

P(X

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X

And we can find this probability using the standard normal table or excel:

P(Z

Part c

For this case we have a total of 868 cups and we know that the fraction of cups that will be overflow is 0.159, so then the expected number of cups overflow would be:

N = 868*0.159= 138.012 \approx 138
