A big cruise ship dropped anchor off the Caribbean island of Antigua. The heavy anchor dropped into the water at a rate of 2.5 m

eters per second. After 45 seconds, the anchor was 40 meters below the water's surface.
1) From what height (above the water's surface) was the anchor released?
(meters)


2)How long did it take the anchor to reach the water's surface?
(seconds)

Answer:

1) The anchor was  released from 72.5 meters above the water's surface.

2)The anchor took 29 seconds to reach the water's surface

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of drop of anchor = 2.5 meters per second

So, total depth covered by anchor after 45 seconds

= 2.5 meters x 45 seconds

= 112.5 meters

But after 45 minutes, the anchor was 40 meters deep.

So, extra distance traveled by anchor = Total distance covered by anchor - depth of water

= 112.5 meters  - 40 meters  =  72.5 meters

Hence, the anchor was  released from 72.5 meters above the water's surface.

Now, speed of anchor = 2.5 m/sec

So, total time taken to cover extra 72. 5 meters = 72. 5 meters / 2.5 m/sec

= 29 seconds

Hence, the anchor took 29 seconds to reach the water's surface.

Use the change of base formula to evaluate log3(73).
Marrrta [24]
The change of base formula allows you to write a logarithm in terms of logarithms with another base. It follows this pattern,

log_{a}x =  \frac{ log_{b}x }{log_{b}a }

where a≠1 and b≠1

Assigning the base to be 7,

log_{3}73 = \frac{ log_{7}73 }{log_{7}3 }=3.9

Mary had a number of cookies. after eating one, she gave half the remainer to her sister. after eating another cookie, she gave
Gemiola [76]
She originally started with 23. 

We can tell this by working the equation backwards. Since she has 5 left and she had just given half to her brother, we know she had 10 a moment ago. 

Before that, Mary had eaten a cookie. So we add 1 to the total and now have 11.

Before eating that cookie, she has given half to her sister, which would give her 22. 

And before giving half to her sister, she had eaten the first one, which would give us 23 to start with.

Assume adults have IQ scores that are normally distributed with a mean of 102 and standard deviation of 16. Find the probability
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

57.49% probability that a randomly selected individual has an IQ between 81 and 109

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.

In this question, we have that:

\mu = 102, \sigma = 16

Find the probability that a randomly selected individual has an IQ between 81 and 109

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 109 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 81. So

X = 109

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

Z = \frac{109 - 102}{16}

Z = 0.44

Z = 0.44 has a pvalue of 0.67

X = 81

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

Z = \frac{81 - 102}{16}

Z = -1.31

Z = -1.31 has a pvalue of 0.0951

0.67 - 0.0951 = 0.5749

57.49% probability that a randomly selected individual has an IQ between 81 and 109
