Find the rate of change

A car drives with a constant speed of 20 km/h. How long will it take to travel a distance of 160 kilometers?

harkovskaia [24]

ANSWER:

We know that,

Speed = Distance/Time

So, Time taken = 20kmh-¹/160km

1/8h or 7.5min.

Carol had 9/12 of a container of milk for the french toast she was cooking. She poured 2/3 of the container into the pan. How mu

Effectus [21]

Answer:

1/12 of the container of milk will be left in the container

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the question, we first note the variables

Volume of milk available = 9/12 of a container

Volume of milk poured in a pan = 2/3 of a container

Quantity of milk left = Initial quantity of milk less the quantity poured out

That is 9/12-2/3 = 1/12 of the container of milk

This means that there will be only 1/12 of the container of milk left

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

(a) The fraction of the calls last between 4.50 and 5.30 minutes is 0.3729.

(b) The fraction of the calls last more than 5.30 minutes is 0.1271.

(c) The fraction of the calls last between 5.30 and 6.00 minutes is 0.1109.

(d) The fraction of the calls last between 4.00 and 6.00 minutes is 0.745.

(e) The time is 5.65 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the mean length of time per call was 4.5 minutes and the standard deviation was 0.70 minutes.

Let X = the length of the calls, in minutes.

So, X ~ Normal( $\mu=4.5,\sigma^{2} =0.70^{2}$ )

The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;

Z = $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = population mean time = 4.5 minutes

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 0.7 minutes

(a) The fraction of the calls last between 4.50 and 5.30 minutes is given by = P(4.50 min < X < 5.30 min) = P(X < 5.30 min) - P(X $\leq$ 4.50 min)

P(X < 5.30 min) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ < $\frac{5.30-4.5}{0.7}$ ) = P(Z < 1.14) = 0.8729

P(X $\leq$ 4.50 min) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ $\leq$ $\frac{4.5-4.5}{0.7}$ ) = P(Z $\leq$ 0) = 0.50

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.14 and x = 0 in the z table which has an area of 0.8729 and 0.50 respectively.

Therefore, P(4.50 min < X < 5.30 min) = 0.8729 - 0.50 = 0.3729.

(b) The fraction of the calls last more than 5.30 minutes is given by = P(X > 5.30 minutes)

P(X > 5.30 min) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ > $\frac{5.30-4.5}{0.7}$ ) = P(Z > 1.14) = 1 - P(Z $\leq$ 1.14)

= 1 - 0.8729 = 0.1271

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.14 in the z table which has an area of 0.8729.

(c) The fraction of the calls last between 5.30 and 6.00 minutes is given by = P(5.30 min < X < 6.00 min) = P(X < 6.00 min) - P(X $\leq$ 5.30 min)

P(X < 6.00 min) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ < $\frac{6-4.5}{0.7}$ ) = P(Z < 2.14) = 0.9838

P(X $\leq$ 5.30 min) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ $\leq$ $\frac{5.30-4.5}{0.7}$ ) = P(Z $\leq$ 1.14) = 0.8729

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 2.14 and x = 1.14 in the z table which has an area of 0.9838 and 0.8729 respectively.

Therefore, P(4.50 min < X < 5.30 min) = 0.9838 - 0.8729 = 0.1109.

(d) The fraction of the calls last between 4.00 and 6.00 minutes is given by = P(4.00 min < X < 6.00 min) = P(X < 6.00 min) - P(X $\leq$ 4.00 min)

P(X < 6.00 min) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ < $\frac{6-4.5}{0.7}$ ) = P(Z < 2.14) = 0.9838

P(X $\leq$ 4.00 min) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ $\leq$ $\frac{4.0-4.5}{0.7}$ ) = P(Z $\leq$ -0.71) = 1 - P(Z < 0.71)

= 1 - 0.7612 = 0.2388

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 2.14 and x = 0.71 in the z table which has an area of 0.9838 and 0.7612 respectively.

Therefore, P(4.50 min < X < 5.30 min) = 0.9838 - 0.2388 = 0.745.

(e) We have to find the time that represents the length of the longest (in duration) 5 percent of the calls, that means;

P(X > x) = 0.05 {where x is the required time}

P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ > $\frac{x-4.5}{0.7}$ ) = 0.05

P(Z > $\frac{x-4.5}{0.7}$ ) = 0.05

Now, in the z table the critical value of x which represents the top 5% of the area is given as 1.645, that is;

$\frac{x-4.5}{0.7}=1.645$

${x-4.5}{}=1.645 \times 0.7$

x = 4.5 + 1.15 = 5.65 minutes.

SO, the time is 5.65 minutes.

Seven cakes cost £2.10 how much do 10 cakes cost

Len [333]

Ten cakes costs $2.19 (pounds, but I don't have a pounds symbol on my computer) because if you divide $2.10 by seven you get $0.3, and if you add 3×0.3 (because we have seven, and we need to add three more to get ten) we get $0.9.

0.9+2.10=2.19
