It is 2 miles from Ellie’s house to school, 1 mile = 5280 feet. How many feet is it from Ellie’s house to school ?

1 answer:

8 0

This is a conversion problem. We know that 1 mile is 5280 feet, right? Since Ellie lives 2 miles, and two is double of 1, we just take 5280 and multiply that by two (or add it twice) to find how many feet is between Ellie's house and school. 5280 x 2 = 10560 (you get the same answer if you add 5280 twice). Therefore, 10560 feet lies between Ellie's house and school.

Someone please help me thank you

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

7x = x² - 8

=> x² - 7x - 8 = 0

use quadratic formula:

a = 1, b = -7, c = -8

x = $\frac{-(1)±\sqrt{(-7)^{2} - 4(1)(-8) } }{2(1)}$ <em>(pls ignore the "A" I don't know why it's showing up)</em>

=> x = $\frac{-1±\sqrt{49 + 32} }{2}$

=> x = $\frac{-1±9 }{2}$

=> x = $\frac{-1 +9}{2}$ = 4 or $\frac{-1-9}{2}$ = -5 <em>(the answer is only 4 since it's asking for the positive solution)</em>

Although cities encourage carpooling to reduce traffic congestion, most vehicles carry only one person. For example, 64% of vehi

Answer:

a) 0.7291 is the probability that more than half out of 10 vehicles carry just 1 person.

b) 0.996 is the probability that more than half of the vehicles carry just one person.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:

A) Binomial distribution

We treat vehicle on road with one passenger as a success.

P(success) = 64% = 0.64

Then the number of vehicles follows a binomial distribution, where

$P(X=x) = \binom{n}{x}.p^x.(1-p)^{n-x}$

where n is the total number of observations, x is the number of success, p is the probability of success.

Now, we are given n = 10

We have to evaluate:

$P(x \geq 6) = P(x =6) +...+ P(x = 10) \\= \binom{10}{6}(0.64)^6(1-0.64)^4 +...+ \binom{10}{10}(0.64)^{10}(1-0.79)^0\\=0.7291$

0.7291 is the probability that more than half out of 10 vehicles carry just 1 person.

B) By normal approximation

Sample size, n = 92

p = 0.64

$\mu = np = 92(0.64) = 58.88$

$\sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{92(0.64)(1-0.64)} = 4.60$

We have to evaluate the probability that more than 47 cars carry just one person.

$P(x \geq 47)$

After continuity correction, we will evaluate

$P( x \geq 46.5) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{46.5 - 58.88}{4.60}) = P(z > -2.6913)$

$= 1 - P(z \leq -2.6913)$

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,

$P(x > 46.5) = 1 - 0.004 = 0.996 = 99.6\%$

0.996 is the probability that more than half out of 92 vehicles carry just one person.
