Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The speeds of the cars is: 0.625 miles/minute
Step-by-step explanation:
We use systems of equations in two variables to solve this problem.
Recall that the definition of speed (v) is the quotient of the distance traveled divided the time it took :
. Notice as well that the speed of both cars is the same, but their times are different because they covered different distances. So if we find the distances they covered, we can easily find what their speed was.
Writing the velocity equation for car A (which reached its destination in 24 minutes) is:

Now we write a similar equation for car B which travels 5 miles further than car A and does it in 32 minutes:

Now we solve for
in this last equation and make the substitution in the equation for car A:

So this is the speed of both cars: 0.625 miles/minute
The Pythagorean Theorem formula is listed below. It can only be applied to right triangles.
(side1)^2 + (side2)^2 = (hypotenuse)^2
Since we are given that the base is 8cm, we know that the side of one triangle is 4cm. We are also given that the hypotenuse is 8cm. The height of the cone will be one of the short sides. If we plug these numbers into the formula, we get the following...
4^2 + height^2 = 8^2
If we solve for height, we get the following...
height = sqrt(8^2 - 4^2) = sqrt(64 - 16) = sqrt(48)
Since we are only asked for what is inside the square root, our answer is 48.
Answer:
Jennifer's height is 63.7 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let <em>X</em> = heights of adult women in the United States.
The random variable <em>X</em> is normally distributed with mean, <em>μ</em> = 65 inches and standard deviation <em>σ</em> = 2.4 inches.
To compute the probability of a normal random variable we first need to convert the raw score to a standardized score or <em>z</em>-score.
The standardized score of a raw score <em>X</em> is:

These standardized scores follows a normal distribution with mean 0 and variance 1.
It is provided that Jennifer is taller than 70% of the population of U.S. women.
Let Jennifer's height be denoted by <em>x</em>.
Then according to the information given:
P (X > x) = 0.70
1 - P (X < x) = 0.70
P (X < x) = 0.30
⇒ P (Z < z) = 0.30
The <em>z</em>-score related to the probability above is:
<em>z</em> = -0.5244
*Use a <em>z</em>-table.
Compute the value of <em>x</em> as follows:




Thus, Jennifer's height is 63.7 inches.
