Answer:

The speed of Usain Bolt is 0.194 miles per minutes to complete the marathon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The Distance of marathon = 26.2 unit

The time taken to complete marathon = 2 hours and 15 minutes

= 120 + 15 = 135 minutes

Let The constant speed of Usain Bolt = S unit per minutes

So, Speed = $\frac{Distance }{Time}$

Or, S = $\frac{26.2 }{135}$

∴ S = 0.194 unit per minutes

Hence The speed of Usain Bolt is 0.194 miles per minutes to complete the marathon. Answer

Find the equation of the circle with center at (-1, 3) and radius of 4.

Nataly [62]

Answer:

(x+1)^2 + (y-3)^2 = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle is given by

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2

Where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius

(x--1)^2 + (y-3)^2 = 4^2

(x+1)^2 + (y-3)^2 = 4^2

(x+1)^2 + (y-3)^2 = 16

Insert two numbers between 54 and 2 so that the four numbers are in geometric sequence.

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

2,6,18,54

How I got this answer:

Each term after the first is found by multiplying by a fixed, non-zero number called a common ratio.

step by step:

2×3=6

6×3=18

18×3=54

The common ratio is 3.

a tourist drove his car for the total of 17.5 hours while on a 3-day vacation on the first day he drove 4.5 hours in the second

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

1.75 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Time for day 1 : 4.5 hrs

Time for day 2: (4.5 ×2.5)

Time for day 3: let it be denoted by a variable ,say T.

Total Time= 17.5

(Time for day 1 ) + (Time for day 2) +(Time for day 3) =17.5

4.5 + (4.5×2.5) + T = 17.5

4.5+11.25+T =17.5

15.75+T=17.5

T=17.5-15.75

T= 1.75

It is assumed that the test results for a class follow a normal distribution with a mean of 78 and a standard deviation of 36. I

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

0.7143

- You know the minimum possible grade of the student

- You want to find out the probability that that grade which is greater than 72 is also greater than 84

- Expect the answer to be 0.7143

- The explanation/steps is given below

- The answer seems (and is) reasonable. You only created a new lower limit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Distribution Type: Normal

Mean: 78

Standard deviation: 36

Range of marks: [78 - 36], [78 + 36] = [42 to 114]

If you know that a student's grade is greater than 72, what is the probability that it's greater than 84?

In this case, the full probability level is between 72 and the upper limit of 114 (instead of between 42 and 114). First, find the fraction of this probability.

[114 - 72] ÷ [114 - 42] = 42/72 = 0.5833

So, the probability of a student's mark falling between 72 and 114 is 0.5833.

Now making this a whole interval, 114 - 72 = 42

What fraction of this interval of 42 will bear marks between 84 and 114?

[114 - 84] = 30

30/42 = 0.7143

Because of the first part of the question "If you know (are sure) that a student's grade is greater than 72...", your answer stops at 0.7143, since 72 was used as the lower limit.
