Answer:

t in terms of v is $t=\dfrac{30}{v}+\dfrac{17}{v+2}$

when v=15, t will be 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

$\text{Speed}=\dfrac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$

$\Rightarrow \text{Time}=\dfrac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}$

For the first 30 km, the bicyclist rode with a speed of v km/hr. So the time taken by the cyclist to cover up 30 km is,

$t_1=\dfrac{30}{v}$ hr

For the remaining 17 km he rode with a speed which was 2 km/hr greater than his original speed i.e (v+2) km/hr

$t_2=\dfrac{17}{v+2}$ hr

So the total time is the sum of these individual times. So,

$t=t_1+t_2=\dfrac{30}{v}+\dfrac{17}{v+2}$

When v=15, t is

$t=\dfrac{30}{15}+\dfrac{17}{15+2}=\dfrac{30}{15}+\dfrac{17}{17}=2+1=3$

There are 7 Democrats and 6 Republicans on a local city council. A planning committee of 6 for affordable housing needs to be

Brut [27]

Answer:

The probability is $0.383$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 7 democrats and 6 republicans

Number of ways in which 4 democrats and 2 republicans can be selected= ${}^{7}{{C}_{4}}\times {}^{6}{{C}_{2}}$

Number of ways in which 5 democrats and 1 republican can be selected= ${}^{7}{{C}_{5}}\times {}^{6}{{C}_{1}}$

Number of ways in which 6 democrats can be selected = ${}^{7}{{C}_{6}}$

So, favourable outcomes are ${}^{7}{{C}_{4}}\times {}^{6}{{C}_{2}}+{}^{7}{{C}_{5}}\times {}^{6}{{C}_{1}}+{}^{7}{{C}_{6}}$

Total possible outcomes = ${}^{13}{{C}_{6}}$

Now, probability= $\frac{Favourable}{Possible}=\frac{{}^{7}{{C}_{4}}\times {}^{6}{{C}_{2}}+{}^{7}{{C}_{5}}\times {}^{6}{{C}_{1}}+{}^{7}{{C}_{6}}}{{}^{13}{{C}_{6}}}=0.383$

What is the slope? What is the y-intercept? What is the equation of the line (slope intercept form?)

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

The slope is: m = -²/₅

The y-intercept is: b = -2

The equation of the line: y = -²/₅x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope intercept form: y = mx + b

The slope: $m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

(-5, 0) ⇒ x₁ = -5, y₁ = 0

(0, -2) ⇒ x₂ = 0, y₂ = -2

So:

$m=\dfrac{-2-0}{0-(-5)}=-\dfrac25$

Select the relations that are functions.

liraira [26]

Answer:

option A, C and D

Step-by-step explanation:

Each relation is a function if each input has only one output

{a, 1), (6, 1), (C, 1)

This relation is a function because each input has only one output

{a, a),(a, b),(a, c)}

This relation is not a function because input 'a' has only three output

{(1, a), (2, a),(3, a)}

This relation is a function because each input has only one output

{a, a), (b, b), (C, c)}

This relation is a function because each input has only one output

A poll asked 1057 American adults if they believe there was a conspiracy in the assassination of President Kennedy, and found th

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval of the proportion of Americans who believe in the conspiracy is $0.551< p < 0.610$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sample size is n =1057

The number that believe there was a conspiracy is k = 614

Generally the sample proportion is mathematically represented as

$\^ p = \frac{614}{1057 }$

=> $\^ p = 0.5809$

From the question we are told the confidence level is 95% , hence the level of significance is

$\alpha = (100 - 95 ) \%$

=> $\alpha = 0.05$

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ is

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96$

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

$E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sqrt{\frac{\^ p (1- \^ p)}{n} }$

=> $E = 1.96 * \sqrt{\frac{0.5809 (1- 0.5809)}{1057} }$

=> $E = 0.02975$

Generally 95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as

$\^ p -E < p < \^ p +E$

=> $0.5809 - 0.02975< p < 0.5809 + 0.02975$

=> $0.551< p < 0.610$
