Problema Solution

Terrance and Jesse are training for a long-distance race. Terrance trains at a rate of 6 miles every half hour, and Jesse trains at a rate of 2 miles every 15 minutes.

How long will each person take to run a total of 50 miles at the given rates?

Answer provided by our tutors

d = 50 mi the distance
t1 = the time of Terrance
t2 = the time of Jesse
Terrance trains at a rate of 6 miles every half hour thus his rate is:
v1 = 6/0.5 = 12 mph
Jesse trains at a rate of 2 miles every 15 minutes thus his rate is:
v2 = 2/(15/60) = 8 mph
since speed = distance/time follows time = distance/speed:
t1 = d/v1
t1 = 50/12
t1 = 4 1/6 hr
t1 = 4 hr 10 min
t2 = d/v2
t2 = 50/8
t2 = 6 1/4 hr
t2 = 6 hr 15 min
Terrance will run 4 hours and 10 minutes.
Jesse will run 6 hours and 15 minutes.

<span>P(1 claim) = p/4
P(2 claims) = (p/4)/4 = p/16

You should see that the distribution follows a geometric series with common ratio 1/4.
Sum geometric = (first term) / (1 - common ratio) = p/(1 - 1/4) = 4p/3

But the sum of all the probabilites must equal 1 ----> 4p/3 = 1 ----> p = 3/4

P(2 or more claims) = 1 - P(0 claims) - P(1 claim) = 1 - 3/4 - 3/16 = 1/16</span>

Crop researchers plant 15 plots with a new variety of corn. The yields in bushels per acre are: 138.0 139.1 113.0 132.5 140.7 10

There is a relationship between confidence interval and standard deviation:
$\theta=\overline{x} \pm \frac{z\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$
Where $\overline{x}$ is the mean, $\sigma$ is standard deviation, and n is number of data points.
Every confidence interval has associated z value. This can be found online.
We need to find the standard deviation first:
$\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{\sum(x-\overline{x})^2}{n}$
When we do all the calculations we find that:
$\overline{x}=123.8\\ \sigma=11.84$
Now we can find confidence intervals:
$($90\%,z=1.645): \theta=123.8 \pm \frac{1.645\cdot 11.84}{\sqrt{15}}=123.8 \pm5.0\\($95\%,z=1.960): \theta=123.8 \pm \frac{1.960\cdot 11.84}{\sqrt{15}}=123.8 \pm 5.99\\ ($99\%,z=2.576): \theta=123.8 \pm \frac{2.576\cdot 11.84}{\sqrt{15}}=123.8 \pm 7.87\\$
We can see that as confidence interval increases so does the error margin. Z values accociated with each confidence intreval also get bigger as confidence interval increases.

How many different ways can an after school club of 13 students line up?

maksim [4K]

Answer:

13! or 6227020800

Step-by-step explanation:

With no restrictions, we can figure out the answer to be 13! by the following analysis:

For the first position in line, there are 13 different students who could fill that spot. If we fill it and proceed to the next position in line, there are now only 12 students left who can fill it, since one is already in line. Then the next position only has 11 possibilities, and the next 10, and so on.

Multiplying all of this together gives us 13*12*11*10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1 or 13!

A man has a 10m X 10m square garden. In the center is a 2m X 2m square patch which he cannot use. He divides his usable space in

ra1l [238]

Answer:

4m X 6m

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because if there is a 2m square in the middle, there is 8 m of usable space left along both sides of the garden.

Because the 2m square was in the middle, there is 8/2 = 4m along each width of the 4 small rectangles.

Becuase 4m is the width, there is 10 - 4 = 6m along each rectangle's length.
