Answer:

Alan: 200 m/min

Brian: 150 m/min

Step-by-step explanation:    

Given : Two cyclists, Alan and Brian, are racing around oval track of length 450m on the same direction simultaneously from the same point. Alan races around the track in 45 seconds before Brian does and overtakes him every 9 minutes.

To find : What are their rates, in meters per minute?

Solution :

Let n represent the number of laps that Alan completes in 9 minutes.

Then n-1 is the number of laps Brian completes.

45 seconds = 3/4 minutes.

The difference in their lap times in minutes per lap is

\frac{9}{(n -1)}-\frac{9}{n} =\frac{3}{4}

Solving the equation we get,

\frac{9n-9n+9}{n(n -1)} =\frac{3}{4}

9\times 4=3\times n(n -1)

36=3\times n(n -1)

n^2-n-12=0

n^2-4n+3n-12=0

n(n-4)+3(n-4)=0

(n-4)(n+3)=0

n=4,-3

Neglecting n=-3

So, n=4

Then Alan's speed in m/min is

S=\frac{D}{T}

S_a=\frac{4\times 450}{9}

S_a=200 m/min

Brian completes 3 laps in that 9-minute time, so his rate is

S_b=\frac{3\times 450}{9}

S_b=150 m/min

Therefore, Alan: 200 m/min

Brian: 150 m/min

postnew [5]

Answer:

The claim that he rate of inaccurate orders is equal to​ 10% is supported by statistical evidnece at 5% level

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in a study of the accuracy of fast food​ drive-through orders, one restaurant had 34 orders that were not accurate among 371 orders observed.

Sample proportion p=0.092\\q=1-p = 0.908\\n = 371

H_0: p =0.10\\H_a: p \neq 0.10

(Two tailed test at 5% significance level)

p difference = 0.092-0.100\\=-0.0084

Std error if H0 is true = \sqrt{\frac{0.1(0.9)}{371} } \\=0.016

Test statistic Z = p diff/std error

=0.539

p value = 0.5899

Since p > 0.05 accept null hypothesis

The claim that he rate of inaccurate orders is equal to​ 10% is supported by statistical evidnece at 5% level

Help plzzzz math ppl
GrogVix [38]
Divide by rt on both sides
a) \: p =  \frac{i}{rt}
Subtract 2L from both sides
b) \: m = 9 - 2l
Subtract 9 then multiply by 4
c) \:  x =  4(2k - 9) = 8k - 36Multiply by K
d) \: p = rk
