You'll need to convert both speeds into yards per minute.
12 mph = 12 mph 1760 yd 60 min
---------- * ------------ * ----------
1 mile 1 hr
Note that "miles" cancels. So does "hours." Finish this work.
Then convert 4.4 ft/sec into yards per minute.
Then, finally, compare your two rates via subtraction of the smaller from the larger.
Answer:
And we can find this probability using the complement rule:
And in order to find these probabilities we can find tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.
Step-by-step explanation:
Previous concepts
Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".
The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".
Solution to the problem
Let X the random variable that represent the scores of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:
Where
and
We are interested on this probability
And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:
If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:
And we can find this probability using the complement rule:
And in order to find these probabilities we can find tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.
Answer:
4/3
Step-by-step explanation:
multiply by the reciprocal

= 
We
let r be the rate in parts per minute at which the lawn sprinkler would fill the pool if use alone then
If the handheld hose and the lawn sprinkler are used together, we have this equation:
5/r + 5/8 = 1
Simplifying this expression,
5(8) + 5r = 1
