Answer: his speed when skateboarding 5 mph and when walking is 2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Marlon started riding his skateboard from his house at 1:30 until 2:15 when he started walking. This means that the time he spent riding his skateboard is

2:15 - 1:30 = 45 minutes

Converting 45 minutes to hours, it becomes

45/60 = 0.75 hour

He walked the rest of the way. He arrived at the beach at 3:00. This means that the time he spent walking is

3:00 - 2:15 = 45 minutes

Converting 45 minutes to hours, it becomes

45/60 = 0.75 hour

Let x represent Marlon's walking speed.

Marlon's speed on his skateboard is 2.5 times his walking speed. This means that his speed when skateboarding is 2.5x

Distance = speed × time

Distance covered while walking is

x × 0.75 = 0.75x

Distance covered while skateboarding is

2.5x × 0.75 = 1.875x

Since the total distance to the beach is 5.25 miles, then

0.75x + 1.875x = 5.25

2.625x = 5.25

x = 5.25/2.625

x = 2mph

His speed while skateboarding is

2.5x = 2.5 × 2 = 5mph

My Notes A large manufacturing plant uses lightbulbs with lifetimes that are normally distributed with a mean of 1600 hours and
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

The bulbs should be replaced each 1436.9 hours.

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 problem, we have that:

\mu = 1600, \sigma = 70

How often should the bulbs be replaced so that no more than 1% burn out between replacement periods?

This is the first percentile of hours. So it is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.01.

So it is X when Z = -2.33.

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

-2.33 = \frac{X - 1600}{70}

X - 1600 = -2.33*70

X = 1436.9

The bulbs should be replaced each 1436.9 hours.

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

C. Gregory's graph is incorrect because it shows 2 inches of growth for each week, when it should show 0.75 inches of growth each week

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the plant grows 1.5 inches (y) every 2 weeks (x), it means that:

Rate of change = y/x = 1.5/2 = 0.75 inches per week

The graph he should create should have a rate of change of 0.75. that is, it should show 0.75 inches growth for every week.

The graph shown above has a rate of change of 2 inches per week.

Thus, the graph is incorrect. It should be showing 0.75 inches of growth per week instead of 2 inches.
