A. The equation to find the distance of the flowerbed from the hive is: \frac{x}{20}+\frac{x}{12}+900= 1200 , where x is the distance.

B.  The flowerbed is 2250 feet far from the hive.

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>

Suppose, the distance of the flowerbed from the hive is x feet.

The bee flies 20 feet per second directly to a flowerbed from its hive and flies directly back to the hive at 12 feet per second.

As, Time=\frac{Distance}{Speed}

So, the time taken by the bee to reach the flowerbed = \frac{x}{20} seconds and the time taken to fly back to the hive =\frac{x}{12} seconds.

The bee stays at the flowerbed for 15 minutes or (15×60)seconds or 900 seconds and it is away from the hive for a total of 20 minutes or (20×60)seconds or 1200 seconds.

So, the equation will be.......

\frac{x}{20}+\frac{x}{12}+900= 1200\\ \\ \frac{3x+5x}{60}= 300\\ \\ 8x= 60*300\\ \\ 8x=18000\\ \\ x=\frac{18000}{8}=2250

Thus, the distance of the flowerbed from the hive is 2250 feet.

Which of the following conditions must be met in order to make a statistical inference about a population based on a sample
klasskru [66]

Answer:

For this case if we want to conclude that  the sample does not come from a normally distributed population we need to satisfy the condition that the sample size would be large enough in order to use the central limit theoream and approximate the sample mean with the following distribution:

\bar X \sim (\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

For this case the condition required in order to consider a sample size large is that n>30, then the best solution would be:

n>= 30
