Answer:

30 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say the distance from the first car to the intersection is x, and the distance from the second car to the intersection is y.

The distance between the cars can be found with Pythagorean theorem:

d² = x² + y²

Taking derivative with respect to time:

2d dd/dt = 2x dx/dt + 2y dy/dt

d dd/dt = x dx/dt + y dy/dt

We know that x = 200, dx/dt = -25, y = 150, and dy/dt = -50/3.

To find dd/dt, we still need to find d.

d² = x² + y²

d² = (200)² + (150)²

d = 250

Plugging everything in:

250 dd/dt = (200) (-25) + (150) (-50/3)

dd/dt = -30

The cars are approaching each other at a rate of 30 m/s at that instant.

One senior from the high schools will be selected at random. What is the probability that the senior selected will not be from h
DochEvi [55]

Using the probability concept, it is found that there is a 0.7361 = 73.61% probability that the senior selected will not be from high school b given that the senior responded with a choice other than college.

<h3>What is a probability? </h3>
  • A <em>probability </em>is given by the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes</u>.

Researching the problem on the internet, it is found that:

  • 538 seniors responded with a choice other than college.
  • Of those students, 99 + 83 + 49 + 31 + 63 + 71 = 396 are not from high school b.

Hence:

p = \frac{396}{538} = 0.7361

0.7361 = 73.61% probability that the senior selected will not be from high school b given that the senior responded with a choice other than college.
