Answer:

8 Miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by creating an equation based off what you know. To start we know it costs $3  just to get a ride + $2 for ever mile we travel (represent this using x)+ the $1 tip we left=$20.

3+2x+1=20

Now you add the like terms together(3+1)

2x+4=20   Subtract the 4 from both sides.

    -4   -4

2x=16       Now you just divide each side by 2

_    _

2    2

x=8

Don't forget your label (miles)

An article suggests the uniform distribution on the interval from 7.5 to 20 as a model for x = depth (in centimeters) of the bio
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

a) Figure attached

b) For this case we want this probability:

P(X>16)

And we can use the complement rule:

P(X>16) = 1-P(X

And we can use the cumulative distribution function given by:

F(x)= \frac{x-a}{b-a}, a\leq X \leq b

And replacing we got:

P(X>16) =1- \frac{16-7.5}{20-7.5} = 1-0.68 = 0.32

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we define the random variable X= depth (in centimeters) of the bioturbation layer in sediment for a certain region, and we know the distribution for X, given by:

X \sim Unif (a=7.5, b=20)

Part a

For this case we can see the figure attached.

Part b

For this case we want this probability:

P(X>16)

And we can use the complement rule:

P(X>16) = 1-P(X

And we can use the cumulative distribution function given by:

F(x)= \frac{x-a}{b-a}, a\leq X \leq b

And replacing we got:

P(X>16) =1- \frac{16-7.5}{20-7.5} = 1-0.68 = 0.32

Zanzabum
The first investor you invested $180,000 the second $270,000 and the third $450,000.
Solution:
2+3+5=10
900,000/10=90,000
90,000x2=180,000
90,000x3=270,000
90,000x5=450,000

In country​ A, the number of highway bridges for the years 2000 to 2005 can be modeled by the equation y=149(x+1.5)^2+489,505, w
EleoNora [17]
Given that the number of bridges has been modeled by the function:
<span>y=149(x+1.5)^2+489,505
To find the year in which, y=505000 we shall proceed as follows:
From:
</span>y=149(x+1.5)^2+489,505
substituting y=505000 we shall have:
505000=149(x+1.5)^2+489,505
simplifying the above we get:
0=149(x+1.5)^2-15495
expanding the above we get:
0=149x^2+447x+335.25-15495
simplifying
0=149x^2+447x-15159.8
solving the quadratic equation by quadratic formula we get:
x~8.69771 or x~-11.6977
hence we take positve number:
x~8.69771~8.7 years~9 years
thus the year in which the number will be 505000 will be:
2000+9=2009
