Biologists have observed that the chirping rate of crickets of a certain species is related to temperature, and the relationship

appears to be very nearly linear. A cricket produces 120 chirps per minute at 70°F and 168 chirps per minute at 80°F.
(a) Find the linear equation that relates the temperature t and the number of chirps per minute n.


(b) If the crickets are chirping at 138 chirps per minute, estimate the temperature. (Round your answer to the nearest degree.)

(a) Find the linear equation that relates the temperature t and the number of chirps per minute n.
If the equation is linear, then the equation should have the form of t = mn + b

m = (80 - 70) / (168 - 120) = 5/24

t = 5/24n + b

70 = 5/24(120) + b
b = 45

t = 5/24 n + 45

<span>(b) If the crickets are chirping at 138 chirps per minute, estimate the temperature. (Round your answer to the nearest degree.)
</span><span>t = 5/24 n + 45
</span><span>t = 5/24 (138) + 45 = 74 </span>°F

For safety reasons, four different alarm systems were installed in the vault containing the safety deposit boxes at a beverly hi
AleksAgata [21]
The probability any one system works is 0.99
So the probability of any one system failing is 1-0.99 = 0.01, so basically a 1% chance of failure for any one system

Multiply out the value 0.01 with itself four times
0.01*0.01*0.01*0.01 = 0.000 000 01
I'm using spaces to make the number more readable
So the probability of all four systems failing is 0.00000001
Subtract this value from 1 to get
1 - 0.00000001 = 0.99999999

The answer is 0.99999999 which is what we'd expect. The probability of at least one of the systems working is very very close to 1 (aka 100%)

Find the 100th term in the arithmetic sequence 0,5,10,15
Viktor [21]

Answer:

easy peasy,

the 'n' th term of any arithmetic sequence can be found with the following formula

=> a + ( n-1) d, [where 'a' if the first term of the sequence, 'n' the number of term we need to find, and 'd' being the common difference between each two consecutive term of the sequence)

all in this case would be,

a = 0

n = 100

d = +5

hence the 100th term would be,

=>  0 + (100 - 1) 5

=> 99 x 5

=> 495

A truck driver can travel 560 miles on 28 gallons of gas. How far can he travel on 35 gallons of gas?
Shtirlitz [24]
560 / 28 = 20....so the driver travels 20 miles per gallon

on 35 gallons......35 * 20 = 700 miles <==

or u can also do it this way...

560/28 = x / 35....560 miles to 28 gal = x miles to 35 gal
cross multiply because this is a proportion
(28)(x) = (560)(35)
28x = 19600
x = 19600/28
x = 700 miles <==

so u can either do it by finding the unit rate or by making a proportion. either way will result in the same answer.

Kory calculated several numbers in his calculator. The result displayed 1.3E-2 on the calculator screen. Which equivalent number
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

  • 0.013
  • 1.3×10^(-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Many calculators use "E" to signify "×10^( )". Thus ...

... 1.3E-2 = 1.3×10^(-2)

This number in scientific notation is equivalent to the standard form number ...

... 1.3×0.01 = 0.013
