Answer:

136 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance is product of speed and time.

Given the car that moves South takes 2 hours then the speed is 55 mph

D=st

Where s is speed, t is time and D is distance covered. Substituting 2 hours for time and 55 mph for s then

Distance=2*55=110 miles

Using trigonometry

Cos 36°=110/x

X=110/cos 36°=135.967477524977 miles

Alternatively

X=110/sin 54°=135.967477524977

Rounded off, this is approximately 136 miles

Can anyone please help me this? stuck with this problem for hours
Art [367]
First time the area of the circle and the square.
The radius of the first is 4, so the area of the circle is 16pi.
The area of the square is 32.
You can subtract the area of the circle by the square because some most of the circle is being covered by the square.
16pi-32 is the area of the circle that is visible.
16pi-32:32 can be simplified to pi-2:2
So the probability that a randomly selected point within the circle falls in the white area is
pi-2:2 or in decimal terms, ≈1.14:2

​Jody, a statistics​ major, grows tomatoes in her spare time. She measures the diameters of each tomato. Assume the Normal model
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

Zscore = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assume a normal distribution, we mean that the diameters of each tomato follow a normal distribution. This is N~ (0,1).

By that, we mean that the mean (μ) = 0 and variance (\sigma^{2}) = 1. Thus, since we are told that one tomato was in the 50th percentile. This implies the median. And is 0.5. And if the distribution is normal, the mean and median and mode should be equal.

Thus:

==> Z score = \frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} = \frac{0.5 - \mu}{\sigma} = \frac{0.5-0}{1} = 0.5
