Answer:

Niles and Bob were traveling for 6 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed or rate at which an object is moving can be computed using the formula:

s=\frac{d}{t}

Here:

<em>s</em> = speed

<em>d</em> = distance traveled

<em>t</em> = time taken

It is provided that Niles and Bob sailed at the same time for the same length of time.

Speed of Niles sailboat is, <em>s</em>₁ = 6 mph.

Distance traveled by Niles' sailboat is, <em>d</em>₁ = 36 miles.

Speed of Bob's sailboat is, <em>s</em>₂ = 16 mph.

Distance traveled by Bob's sailboat is, <em>d</em>₂ = 96 miles.

It took both Niles and Bob the same time to travel the respective distance.

Compute the time it took Niles to travel 36 miles at 6 mph speed as follows:

t_{1}=\frac{d_{1}}{s_{1}}

   =\frac{36}{6}\\=6

It took Niles 6 hours to travel 36 miles at 6 mph speed.

Compute the time it took Bob to travel 96 miles at 16 mph speed as follows:

t_{2}=\frac{d_{2}}{s_{2}}

   =\frac{96}{16}\\=6

It took Bob 6 hours to travel 96 miles at 16 mph speed.

Thus, Niles and Bob were traveling for 6 hours.

X + 2x + 7 = 3x - 7<br> How do you solve this?
Stella [2.4K]

Answer and explanation:

<em>To solve this, you must find what x equals</em>

x + 2x + 7 = 3x - 7 <em>Add together any numbers that can be added on their side</em>

3x + 7 = 3x - 7  <em>Then subtract 7 from both sides to get 3x alone</em>

3x = 3x - 14 <em> Then subtract 3x from both sides to get x</em>

<h3><em>*The x's cancel each other out so you must have typed the equation wrong. Please check to see any mistakes you may have made*</em></h3>

27. The average hourly wage of workers at a fast food restaurant is $7.25/hr
morpeh [17]

Answer:

0.0668 = 6.68% probability that the worker earns more than $8.00

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use 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.

The average hourly wage of workers at a fast food restaurant is $7.25/hr with a standard deviation of $0.50.

This means that \mu = 7.25, \sigma = 0.5

If a worker at this fast food restaurant is selected at random, what is the probability that the worker earns more than $8.00?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 8. So

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

Z = \frac{8 - 7.25}{0.5}

Z = 1.5

Z = 1.5 has a pvalue of 0.9332

1 - 0.9332 = 0.0668

0.0668 = 6.68% probability that the worker earns more than $8.00
