Answer:

0.666... miles per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

I set up a ratio for the speed made a equivalent fraction for miles per minute.

(Keep in mind that an hour is 60 minutes.)

$\frac{miles}{minutes}=\frac{40}{60}=\frac{40/60}{60/60}=\frac{0.666...}{1}$

Hope this helps.

pickupchik [31]

Given the following which is the mean and standard deviation of the dune’s movement over one year and need to find out what the ten year mean and the standard deviation will be.

The ten-year mean is ten times the one year mean or 110 feet per decade. The ten-year standard deviation is somewhat more complicated. Multiple independent trials accumulate standard deviation as the square root of the number of trials since an unusually high level of movement ten years in a row. The decade is going to be 2 feet per year x square root of ten will result to 6.32 feet.

The answer will to question A. will be:

90 < 110 + z (6.32 feet)

-20 < z (6.32 feet)

z > - 3.16

By using the z table, it shows the probability of 0.9992. This result shows that as 90 feet is lesser than the mean travel that is expected over decade.

A recent kellogg survey shows that approximately 34% of americans eat breakfast. suppose alex takes a random sample of four amer

vlabodo [156]

This kind of experiments are ruled by Bernoulli's formula. If you have probability p of "success", and you want k successes in n trials, the probability is

$\binom{n}{k}p^k(1-p)^{n-k}$

It's easier to compute the first probability by difference: instead of computing the probability of the event "at least one of the surveyed eats breakfast", let's compute the probability of its contrary: none of them eats breakfast. So, we want 0 successes in 4 trials, with probability of success 0.34. The formula yields

$\binom{4}{0} 0.34^0 0.64^4 = 0.64^4 \approx 0.17 = 17\%$

Since the contrary has probability 17%, our event "at least one of the surveyed eats breakfast" has probability 83%.

As for the second question, the event "at least three of the surveyed eats breakfast" is the union of the events "exactly three of the surveyed eats breakfast" and "exactly four of the surveyed eats breakfast". So, we just need to sum their probabilities:

$\binom{4}{3} 0.34^3 0.64^1 +\binom{4}{4} 0.34^4 0.64^0 = 4\cdot 0.34^3 0.64 + 0.34^4 \approx 0.11 = 11\%$
