A bee flies at 9 feet per second directly to a flowerbed from its hive. The bee stays at the flowerbed for 13 ​minutes, and then

flies directly back to the hive at 6 feet per second. It is away from the hive for a total of 17 minutes.

Answer: 576 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to do a little subtracting and a little interpreting to get the answer. First you must assume that the bee travels in a straight line. This is math so we can assume this is true, although thousands would disagree.

Second you must assume that because it is loaded with nectar that it travels at a slower rate (not an unreasonable assumption).

Third you have to assume that the distance there is the same distance as coming back. Again this is math. We can make this assumption.

Find the travelling time.

The bee spends 12 minutes hunting down the nectar in the flowerbed. Since it was away from the hive for a total of 16 minutes, the travelling time is

16min - 12min = 4 min

Convert the Minutes to seconds.

1 minute = 60 seconds

4 minutes = 4*60 = 240 seconds.

Find the time each way.

The total time is 240 seconds, but it is not divided evenly.

Let the time there = t

Let the time back = 240 - t

The distances are the same.

r = 6 m/s

r1 = 4 m/s

t1 = t

t2 = 240 - t

dthere = dback

d = rate * time

6 m/s *t = 4 m/s (240 - t)      Remove the brackets on the right.

6 * t = 4*240 - 4t                  Combine the like terms on the right.

6t = 960 - 4t                         Add 4t to both sides

6t + 4t = 960 - 4t + 4t          Combine

10t = 960                              Divide both sides by 10

10t/10 = 960/10                    Do the division

t = 96                                    Time going to the flower bed

Find the distance

d = ?

r = 6 m/s

t = 96 second

d = r*t

d = 6 * 96 = 576 feet Answer

A woman earning $20 an hour gets a 15% raise. With her raise, how much will she earn after working 40 hours?
erastovalidia [21]

She will earn $920 after working 40 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Amount per hour = $20

Raise = 15%

Raise amount = 15% of Amount per hour

Raise\ amount = \frac{15}{100}*20\\Raise\ amount= \frac{300}{100}\\Raise\ amount= \$3

New amount per hour = Amount per hour + raise amount

New amount per hour = 20+3= $23

Total earning after working 40 hours = Amount per hour * 40

Total\ earning=23*40\\Total\ earning= \$920

She will earn $920 after working 40 hours.

Imagine an experiment having three conditions and 20 subjects within each condition. The mean and variances of each condition ar
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

1. Mean square B= 5.32

2. Mean square E= 16.067

3. F= 0.33

4. p-value: 0.28

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

You have the information of 3 groups of people.

Group 1

n₁= 20

X[bar]₁= 3.2

S₁²= 14.3

Group 2

n₂= 20

X[bar]₂= 4.2

S₂²= 17.2

Group 3

n₃= 20

X[bar]₃= 7.6

S₃²= 16.7

1. To manually calculate the mean square between the groups you have to calculate the sum of square between conditions and divide it by the degrees of freedom.

Df B= k-1 = 3-1= 2

Sum Square B is:

∑ni(Ÿi - Ÿ..)²

Ÿi= sample mean of sample i ∀ i= 1,2,3

Ÿ..= general mean is the mean that results of all the groups together.

General mean:

Ÿ..= (Ÿ₁ + Ÿ₂ + Ÿ₃)/ 3 = (3.2+4.2+7.6)/3 = 5

Sum Square B (Ÿ₁ - Ÿ..)² + (Ÿ₂ - Ÿ..)² + (Ÿ₃ - Ÿ..)²= (3.2 - 5)² + (4.2 - 5)² + (7.6 - 5)²= 10.64

Mean square B= Sum Square B/Df B= 10.64/2= 5.32

2. The mean square error (MSE) is the estimation of the variance error (σ_{e}^2 → S_{e} ^{2}), you have to use the following formula:

Se²=<u> (n₁-1)S₁² + -(n₂-1)S₂² + (n₃-1)S₃²</u>

                        n₁+n₂+n₃-k

Se²=<u> 19*14.3 + 19*17.2 + 19*16.7 </u>= <u>  915.8   </u>  = 16.067

                 20+20+20-3                  57

DfE= N-k = 60-3= 57

3. To calculate the value of the statistic you have to divide the MSB by MSE

F= \frac{Mean square B}{Mean square E} = \frac{5.32}{16.067} = 0.33

4. P(F_{2; 57} ≤ F) = P(F_{2; 57} ≤ 0.33) = 0.28

I hope you have a SUPER day!

The following triangle. check all that apply
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Obtuse and isosceles

Isosceles means that at least two of the sides are congruent or equal.

Obtuse means that one angle of the triangle is greater than 90 degrees.

So, your answer is D and E
