The length of the railroad is 1km and it expands 10cm. To solve this problem, you have to create a right triangle. You can do this by cutting everything in half. Your hypotenuse will be 1/2km + 5cm, one of the legs will be 1/2km. To make everything simple, I converted everything into meters. So you will have 500m + .05m as the hypotenuse and 500m as one of the legs. Use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for the other leg. Do not round your answer. My teacher emailed me a hint to answering the question. She cahnged everything to meters.

use Pythagoras theorem to solve for the other leg. that is your answer. Your teacher spelled it out for you.

Suppose the round-trip airfare between Philadelphia and Los Angeles a month before the departure date follows the normal probabi
QveST [7]

Answer:

52.74% probability that a randomly selected airfare between these two cities will be between $325 and $425

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

\mu = 387.20, \sigma = 68.50

What is the probability that a randomly selected airfare between these two cities will be between $325 and $425?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 425 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 325. So

X = 425

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{425 - 387.20}{68.50}

Z = 0.55

Z = 0.55 has a pvalue of 0.7088

X = 325

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{325 - 387.20}{68.50}

Z = -0.91

Z = -0.91 has a pvalue of 0.1814

0.7088 - 0.1814 = 0.5274

52.74% probability that a randomly selected airfare between these two cities will be between $325 and $425

State weather the equation represents exponential growth, exponential decay or neither, 30 POINTS EASY
RSB [31]

Answer:

Exponential Decay

Step-by-step explanation:

It's exponential growth when your base value is > 1. Example:

1.3ˣ, 2ˣ, 7ˣ, 999ˣ

It's exponential decay when the base value is < 1. Example:

0.9ˣ, 0.45ˣ, (1/2)ˣ, 0.79ˣ, .999ˣ

It's neither when the base value = 1. Example:

1ˣ
