Starting at home, Emily traveled uphill to the hardware store for 60 minutes at just 6 mph. She then traveled back home along th

e same path downhill at a speed of 12 mph. What is her average speed for the entire trip from home to the hardware store and back? (I need the rate version for this. 24 and 6 are not correct)

 The distance traveled was 6 miles  (6 mph times 1 hour).

The total distance traveled was 12 miles.

The downhill journey lasted   (6 mi) / (12 mph), or 1/2 hr.

Thus, the average speed was 

12 miles         12 mi
------------- = ------------ = 8 mph
(1 1/2 hr)       (3/2) hr

Find the angles between -pi and pi that satisfy:<br><br> (−√3) sin(v)+cos(v)=√3
MAXImum [283]

Observe that

\sin\left(\dfrac\pi6-v\right)=\sin\dfrac\pi6\cos v-\cos\dfrac\pi6\sin v=\dfrac12\cos v-\dfrac{\sqrt3}2\sin v

In the original equation, divide both sides by \dfrac12:

-\sqrt3\sin v+\cos v=\sqrt3\implies\dfrac12\cos v-\dfrac{\sqrt3}2\sin v=\dfrac{\sqrt3}2

\implies\sin\left(\dfrac\pi6-v\right)=\dfrac{\sqrt3}2

Next,

\sin x=\dfrac{\sqrt3}2\implies x=\dfrac\pi3+2n\pi,x=\dfrac{2\pi}3+2n\pi

where n is any integer. Then

\sin\left(\dfrac\pi6-v\right)\implies v=-\dfrac\pi6-2n\pi,v=-\dfrac\pi2-2n\pi

Fix n=0 to ensure -\pi, so that

v=-\dfrac\pi6,v=-\dfrac\pi2

An important factor in selling a residential property is the number of times real estate, agents show a home. A sample of 21 hom
Natalka [10]

Using the t-distribution to build the 99% confidence interval, it is found that:

  • The margin of error is of 3.64.
  • The 99% confidence interval for the population mean is (19.36, 26.64).

<h3>What is a t-distribution confidence interval?</h3>

The confidence interval is:

\overline{x} \pm t\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

In which:

  • \overline{x} is the sample mean.
  • t is the critical value.
  • n is the sample size.
  • s is the standard deviation for the sample.

The critical value, using a t-distribution calculator, for a two-tailed 95% confidence interval, with 21 - 1 = 20 df, is t = 2.086.

The other parameters are given as follows:

\overline{x} = 23, s = 8, n = 21

The margin of error is given by:

M = t\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.086\frac{8}{\sqrt{21}} = 3.64

Hence the bounds of the interval are:

\overline{x} - M = 23 - 3.64 = 19.36

\overline{x} + M = 23 + 3.64 = 26.64

The 99% confidence interval for the population mean is (19.36, 26.64).

Is how many student passed the math test a statistical question
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

No it is not statistical

Step-by-step explanation:

It would be statistical if the answers varied which in this case they don't because there is a certain amount of people that passed and the answers do not vary. However, asking what was your score is statistical because answers will vary.

Mrs.Magdalino kept records on how much she spent on gasoline and the maintenance of her car. She found that it cost $485 to driv
Semenov [28]

Cost per mile = \frac{cost}{number of miles}

= \frac{485}{500}

= 0.97

Now,

c - cost for gasoline and maintenance and

m - number of miles traveled

Hence, the required expression is c = 0.97m.
