Answer:

45 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

let after t hours they meet after the second runner starts.

15 minutes=1/4 hour.

6(t+1/4)=8t

6t+6/4=8t

8t-6t=6/4

2t=3/2

t=3/2* 1/2=3/4 hours=45 minutes

Answer: it will take 1 hour before the second runner reaches the first runner

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent the time it the first runner to cover a certain distance.

Speed of the first runner is 6 miles per hour.

Distance = speed × time

Time = distance / speed

Distance covered by the first runner

in t hours at 6 miles per hour is 6t

Fifteen minutes later a second runner begins at the same point, running at a rate of 8 mi/hr and following the same course. This means that for the to meet, the second runner will cover the same distance covered by the first runner at a time of t - 15 minutes = (t - 1/4) hours. Therefore

Distance covered at 8 miles per hour at (t - 1/4) hours

would be 8(t - 1/4) = 8t - 2

Since they would cover the same distance, then

6t = 8t - 2

8t - 6t = 2

2t = 2

t = 2/2 = 1

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

A. Valid

Step-by-step explanation:

The P-value is the probability of getting this result or sample statistic if the null  hypothesis is true. That is why a low P-value (smaller than the significance level) is considered evidence to reject the null hypothesis, because the result has little probability of being due to chance.

The statement that the P-value is "the probability of getting results as extreme as or more extreme than the ones in this study if the drug is actually not effective" is valid, as the null hypothesis states generally the opposite of the objective of the study (demonstrate that the drug is effective), and the very low value of the P-value is indicative that this result, if the drug was not effective, has a very low probability.

Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a)

Given that the two parallel lines are crossed by a transversal line.

Given that

m∠2 = 2x + 54 and m∠6 = 6x - 11

Angle ∠2 and ∠6 are corresponding angles.

Corresponding angles are congruent.

Thus,

m∠2 = m∠6

2x + 54 = 6x - 11

flipe the equation

6x - 11 = 2x + 54

subtract 2x from both sides

6x - 2x - 11 = 2x - 2x + 54

4x - 11 = 54

adding 11 to both sides

4x - 11 + 11 = 54 + 11

4x = 65

dvide both sides by 4

4x/4 = 65/4

x = 16.2500    (round to 4 decimal places)

Part b)

We have already determined

x = 16.2500

Given

m∠2 = 2x + 54

substitute x = 16.2500 in the euation

        = 2(16.2500) + 54

        = 86.5°

As angle ∠2 and angle ∠1 lie on a straight line. Hence, the sum of their angles must be 180°.

i.e.

m∠1 + m∠2 = 180°

substituting m∠2 =  86.5° in the equation

m∠1 + 86.5°  = 180°

subtracting 86.5° from both sides

m∠1 + 86.5° - 86.5° = 180° - 86.5°

m∠1 = 93.5°

Therefore, the measure of angle m∠1 is:

  • m∠1 = 93.5°
