Police chases a driver. Originally, the police is 1 mile behind the driver. The speed of the police car is 90 mph, and the speed

of the chased car is 85 mph. How long will it take for the police to catch up with the car?

Answer:

  12 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference in distance started out being 1 mile. The difference in speeds is 5 mph, so that 1 mile will be covered in ...

  time = distance/speed = 1 mi/(5 mi/h) = (1/5) h

The police will catch up in 1/5 hour, or 12 minutes.

Suppose the heights of a population of people are normally distributed with a mean of 65.5 inches and a standard deviation of 2.
kupik [55]

Answer:

a) P(64.2

b) 69.764

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 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".

2) Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the heights of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(65.5,2.6)

Where \mu=65.5 and \sigma=2.6

We are interested on this probability

P(64.2

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(64.2

And we can find this probability on this way:

P(-0.50

And in order to find these probabilities we can find tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.

P(-0.50

3) Part b

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

P(X>a)=0.05   (a)

P(X   (b)

Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.95 of the area on the left and 0.05 of the area on the right it's z=1.64. On this case P(Z<1.64)=0.95 and P(z>1.64)=0.05

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

P(X  

P(z

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

z=1.64

And if we solve for a we got

a=65.5 +1.64*2.6=69.764

So the value of height that separates the bottom 95% of data from the top 5% is 69.764.

The point-slope form of the equation of the line that passes through (–5, –1) and (10, –7) is y + 7 = (x – 10). What is the stan
torisob [31]

The point slope form of the line which passes through the points (-5,-1) and (10,-7) is \fbox{\begin\\\ \math 2x+5y=-15\\\end{minispace}} i.e., \fbox{\begin\\\ \bf option C\\\end{minispace}}.

Further explanation:

It is given that line passes through the points (-5,-1) and (10,-7).

The objective is to determine the point slope form of the line which passes through the points (-5,-1) and (10,-7).

The options given are as follows:

Option A: 2x-5y=-15

Option B: 2x-5y=-17

Option C: 2x+5y=-15

Option D: 2x+5y=-17

Consider the point (-5,-1) as (x_{1},y_{1}) and (10,-7) as (x_{2},y_{2}).

Slope of a curve is defined as the change in the value of y with respect to change in value of x.

The slope of the line is calculated as follows:

\fbox{\begin\\\ \math m=\dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\\\end{minispace}}

To obtain the value of slope substitute the value of x_{1},y_{1},x_{2},y_{2} in the above equation.

\begin{aligned}m&=\dfrac{-7-(-1)}{10-(-5)}\\&=\dfrac{-6}{15}\\&=\dfrac{-2}{5}\end{aligned}

Therefore, the slope of the line is \fbox{\begin\\\ \math m=\dfrac{-2}{5}\\\end{minispace}}

The general way to express the equation of a line in its point slope form is as follows:

\fbox{\begin\\\ \math (y-y_{1})=m(x-x_{1})\\\end{minispace}}

To obtain the point slope form of the equation of the line substitute the value of m, x_{1} and y_{1} in the above equation.

\begin{aligned}(y-(-1))&=\dfrac{-2}{5}(x-(-5))\\(y+1)&=\dfrac{-2}{5}(x+5)\\5y+5&=-2x-10\\5y+2x&=-15\end{aligned}

From the above calculation it is concluded that the point slope form the equation of a line is \fbox{\begin\\\ \math 5y+2x=-15\\\end{minispace}}

Figure 1 (attached in the end) represents the graph of the function 5y+2x=-15.

This implies that the correct option for the point slope form of the line is option C.

Therefore, the point slope form of the line which passes through the points (-5,-1) and (10,-7) is 2x+5y=-15 i.e., option C.
