Answer:

Emily's speed is the greatest, therefor she is the fastest at a speed of 1.78 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine who swam the fastest we need to calculate the speed for each swimmer;

Speed=Distance/time

Deborah covered a distance of 50 meters in 40.8 seconds,

Deborah's speed=(Deborah's distance/Time)=(50/40.8)=1.23 meters per second

Robert covered a distance of 100 meters in 60.2 seconds,

Robert's speed=(Robert's distance/Time)=(100/60.2)=1.66 meters per second

Emily covered a distance of 200 meters in 112.4 seconds,

Emily's speed=(Emily's distance/Time)=(200/112.4)=1.78 meters per second

From the speeds for each we can conclude that;

Emily's speed(1.78 m/s)>Robert's speed(1.66 m/s)>Deborah's speed(1.23 m/s)

Emily's speed is the greatest, therefor she is the fastest at a speed of 1.78 m/s

To solve -3 = -19 + d/5, what steps would you use?
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

1)Add 19

2)Multiply by 5

Step-by-step explanation:

-3=-19+\frac{d}{5}

Adding 19 to both sides.

-3+19=-19+19+\frac{d}{5}\\\\16=\frac{d}{5}

Multiplying 5 to both sides.

16\times5=\frac{d}{5}\times 5\\80=d\\\\

∴d=80

Choose the expression that represents a quadratic expression. 9x − 2 5x2 9x − 1 −2x3 8x2 − 7x 1 x4 − 12x3 8x2 − 7x 1
NikAS [45]

<u>5x² + 9x - 1</u><u> is  the expression that represents a </u><u>quadratic expression</u><u>.</u>

What is  quadratic expression?

  • Quadratic expression is an expression with the variable with the highest power of 2.
  • The word quadratic is derived from the word quad which means square.
  • The expression should have the power of two and not higher or lower.

A quadratic expression is of the form

ax² + bx +c = 0                    where a ≠ 0

The give options are-

9x - 2

5x² + 9x - 1

-2x³ + 8x² - 7x +1

x^{4} - 12 x^{3} + 8x^{2} - 7x +1

From the given options, the only expression which is quadratic is

5x² + 9x - 1

wChoose the expression that represents a quadratic expression. 9x − 2 5x2 9x − 1 −2x3 8x2 − 7x 1 x4 − 12x3 8x2 −here a =5, b=9 and c=-1

Therefore, 5x² + 9x - 1 is  the expression that represents a quadratic expression.

Given the graph, find an equation for the parabola.
Sauron [17]

Answer:

\Large \boxed{\sf \bf \ \ y=\dfrac{1}{16}(a-3)^2-2 \ \  }

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, please consider the following.

When the parabola equation is like

y=a(x-h)^2+k

The vertex is the point (h,k) and the focus is the point (h, k+1/(4a))

As the vertex is (3,-2) we can say that h = 3 and k = -2.

We need to find a.

The focus  is (3,2) so we can say.

2=-2+\dfrac{1}{4a}\\\\\text{*** We add 2. ***}\\\\\dfrac{1}{4a}=2+2=4\\\\\text{*** We multiply by 4a. ***}\\\\16a=1\\\\\text{*** We divide by 16. ***}\\\\a=\dfrac{1}{16}

So an equation for the parabola is.

\large \boxed{\sf y=\dfrac{1}{16}(a-3)^2-2 }

Hope this helps.

Do not hesitate if you need further explanation.

Thank you

Each year, more than 2 million people in the United States become infected with bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics. In p
Olegator [25]

Answer:

Reject <em>H</em>₀. There is a significant difference in drug resistance between the two states.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case we need to determine whether the data suggest a statistically significant difference between the proportions of drug-resistant cases in the two states.

The significance level of the test is, <em>α</em> = 0.02.

(1)

The hypothesis can be defined as follows:  

<em>H</em>₀: There is no difference between the proportions of drug-resistant cases in the two states, i.e. p_{1} - p_{2}=  0.  

<em>Hₐ</em>: There is a statistically significant difference between the proportions of drug-resistant cases in the two states, i.e. p_{1} - p_{2}\neq  0.  

(2)

Compute the sample proportions and total proportion as follows:

\hat p_{1}=\frac{12}{189}=0.063\\\\\hat p_{2}=\frac{8}{429}=0.019\\\\\hat p=\frac{12+8}{189+429}=0.032\\

Compute the test statistic value as follows:

Z=\frac{\hat p_{1}-\hat p_{2}}{\sqrt{\hat p(1-\hat p)\times [\frac{1}{n_{1}}+\frac{1}{n_{2}}]}}

   =\frac{0.063-0.019}{\sqrt{0.032(1-0.032)\times [\frac{1}{189}+\frac{1}{429}]}}\\\\=2.86

The test statistic value is 2.86.

(3)

The decision rule is:

The null hypothesis will be rejected if the p-value of the test is less than the significance level.

Compute the p-value as follows:

p-value=2\cdot P(Z>2.86)=2\times 0.00212=0.00424

<em>p</em>-value = 0.00424 < <em>α</em> = 0.02.

The null hypothesis will be rejected at 0.02 significance level.

Reject <em>H</em>₀. There is a significant difference in drug resistance between the two states.
