crosses the starting line and runs at an average rate of 6.4 miles per hour. If the length of the marathon is 26.2 miles, which runner will finish ahead of the other? Explain.
Runner A; Runner B will not be able to catch Runner A in the time it takes Runner A to complete the 26.2 mile course.
Runner B; Runner B will catch up to runner A 3.5 hours after Runner A crosses the starting line.
Runner B; Runner B will pass Runner A and finish more than half an hour ahead of Runner A.
Runner B; Runner B will catch up to Runner A 4 hours after Runner A crosses the starting line.

Time it took runner A to complete the marathon = 26.2 / 5.6 = 4 hrs 41 mins
Time it took runner B to complete the marathon = 26.2 / 6.4 = 4 hrs 6 mins

Time it took runner B to complete the marathon relative to when runner A started = 30 mins + 4 hrs 6 mins = 4 hrs 36 mins

Therefore, runner B will finnish ahead of runner A.

Let x be the time the two runners are at the same point, then
5.6x + 5.6(0.5) = 6.4x
6.4x - 5.6x = 2.8
0.8x = 2.8
x = 2.8/0.8 = 3.5
Therefore, runner B will catch up with runner A 3.5 hours after runner A starts the race.
<span>Runner B; Runner B will catch up to Runner A 3.5 hours after Runner A crosses the starting line.</span>

Determine whether the random variable is discrete or continuous. In each​ case, state the possible values of the random variable
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

a) Discrete Variable

b) Continuous Variable

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Discrete and Continuous:

  • Discrete data are the data whose value can be expressed in whole number. They cannot take all the values within an interval.
  • Discrete variables are usually counted than measured.
  • Continuous variable can be expressed in the form of decimals. They can take any value within an interval.
  • Continuous variables are usually measured than counted.

​(a) The number of free dash throw attempts before the first shot is made. ​

Since the number of shots made will always be expressed in whole numbers and the number of shots made will counted and not measured. Thus, number of free dash throw attempts before the first shot is made. is a discrete variable.

(b) The distance a baseball travels in the air after being hit.

The distance is a continuous variable as its value can be expressed in decimals. Also distance is always measured and not counted. Thus, distance a baseball travels in the air after being hit is a continuous variable.

Given A = {a, e, i, o, u} and B = {a, l, g, e, b, r}, find A ∪ B.
harkovskaia [24]
Ahh..this is sets topics - A U B = all the elements found in A and B. But do note, do not repeat the elements if it is the same. And if the question were to ask : n(AUB) = total number of elements found in A and B.
