Less because the greater the number is when its negative the further it makes it from the positive side on a number line

Two cars are traveling down the highway with the same speed. If the first car increases its speed by 1km/hr, and the other car d

Olegator [25]

Answer:

The speed of the cars is $32 \frac{km}{h}$

Step-by-step explanation:

First we must first have the clear concept that $speed=\frac{distance}{time}$ or $s=\frac{d}{t}$

Our question is the speed of the cars then the variable to clear will be s.

Let's raise the equation for each car taking into account that we have the following data:

Car 1: $s_{1}=s+1$ , $t_{1}=2$ and $d_{1}= d_{2}$

Car 1: $s_{2}=s-10$ , $t_{2}=3$ and $d_{1}= d_{2}$

The two cars travel the same distance so we will raise the distance formula for each car and then match them.

<em>Car 1</em>

$d_{1}=s_{1}*t_{1}$

$d_{1}=(s+1)*2$

$d_{1}=2s+2$

<em>Car 2</em>

$d_{2}=s_{2}*t_{2}$

$d_{2}=(s-10)*3$

$d_{2}=3s.30$

$d_{1}=d_{2}$

$2s+2=3s-30$

$2+30=3s-2s$

$32=s$

The speed of the cars is 32 km/hr

If 30,000 cm2 of material is available to make a box with a square base and an open top, what is the largest possible volume (in

Cloud [144]

Answer:

The largest possible volume of the box is 2000000 cubic meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume ( $V$ ), in cubic centimeters, and surface area ( $A_{s}$ ), in square centimeters, of the box with a square base are described below:

$A_{s} = l^{2}+h\cdot l$ (1)

$V = l^{2}\cdot h$ (2)

Where:

$l$ - Side length of the base, in centimeters.

$h$ - Height of the box, in centimeters.

By (2), we clear $h$ within the formula:

$h = \frac{V}{l^{2}}$

And we apply in (1) and simplify the resulting expression:

$A_{s} = l^{2}+ \frac{V}{l}$

$A_{s}\cdot l = l^{3}+V$

$V = A_{s}\cdot l -l^{3}$ (3)

Then, we find the first and second derivatives of this expression:

$V' = A_{s}-3\cdot l^{2}$ (4)

$V'' = -6\cdot l$ (5)

If $V' = 0$ and $A_{s} = 30000\,cm^{2}$ , then we find the critical value of the side length of the base is:

$30000-3\cdot l^{2} = 0$

$3\cdot l^{2} = 30000$

$l = 100\,cm$

Then, we evaluate this result in the expression of the second derivative:

$V'' = -600$

By Second Derivative Test, we conclude that critical value leads to an absolute maximum. The maximum possible volume of the box is:

$V = 30000\cdot l - l^{3}$

$V = 2000000\,cm^{3}$

The largest possible volume of the box is 2000000 cubic meters.

Based on historical data, your manager believes that 37% of the company's orders come from first-time customers. A random sample

fomenos

Answer:

0.6214 = 62.14% probability that the sample proportion is between 0.26 and 0.38

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean $\mu = p$ and standard deviation $s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}$

37% of the company's orders come from first-time customers.

This means that $p = 0.37$

A random sample of 225 orders will be used to estimate the proportion of first-time-customers.

This means that $n = 225$

Mean and standard deviation:

$\mu = p = 0.37$

$s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}} = \sqrt{\frac{0.37*0.63}{225}} = 0.0322$

What is the probability that the sample proportion is between 0.26 and 0.38?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 0.38 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 0.26.

X = 0.38

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{0.38 - 0.37}{0.0322}$

$Z = 0.31$

$Z = 0.31$ has a pvalue of 0.6217

X = 0.26

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{0.26 - 0.37}{0.0322}$

$Z = -3.42$

$Z = -3.42$ has a pvalue of 0.0003

0.6217 - 0.0003 = 0.6214

0.6214 = 62.14% probability that the sample proportion is between 0.26 and 0.38

P(heads, and even and blue) = 1/2 *3/6 *1/4=1/2*1/2*1/4=1/16

P(heads, and 5, and green) = 1/2*1/6*1/4=1/48

P((heads or tail), and odd, and red)= (1/2+1/2)*3/6*1/4=1*1/2*1/4 = 1/8

P((heads or tail), and 3, and yellow)= (1/2+1/2)*1/6*1/4=1*1/6*1/4=1/24

P(tails, and prime, and not green) = 1/2 *3/6*3/4= 1/2*1/2*3/4=3/16
