A diesel train left Washington and traveled

Mathematics
1 answer:

The number of hours the diesel train traveled  before the cattle train caught up is 15 hours

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let t = travel time of the diesel train

Then  (t - 2) is the travel time of the cattle train (Left 2 hrs later)

Average speed of diesel train = 52 mph

Average speed of cattle train = 60 mph

To find: number of hours the diesel train traveled  before the cattle train caught up

Distance = speed x time

<em><u>Distance traveled by diesel train:</u></em>

Distance = 52 x t = 52t

<em><u>Distance traveled by cattle train:</u></em>

Distance = 60 x (t - 2) = 60t - 120

When the cattle train catches the diesel, they will have traveled the

same distance

Distance traveled by diesel train = Distance traveled by cattle train

52t = 60t - 120

60t - 52t = 120

8t = 120

t = 15

Thus the number of hours the diesel train traveled  before the cattle train caught up is 15 hours

A pilot traveling 175 miles per hour encounters a head wind of 35 knots. If there are 1.15 knots per mph, what will her true spe
KonstantinChe [14]
Since one knot is 1.15 mph.
We multiply 35 time 1.15, which equals 40.25 mph.
Then we subtract. 175 - 4.25 = 134.75
Round, and you'll get 135mph
Therefore, your answer is 135mph

You are a researcher studying the lifespan of a certain species of bacteria. A preliminary sample of 35 bacteria reveals a sampl
pickupchik [31]

Answer: Sample size would be 296.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Standard deviation = 4.8 hours

Margin of error = 0.65 hours

At 98% level of confidence, z = 2.33

So, It becomes,

0.65=z\times \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\0.65=2.33\times \dfrac{4.8}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\\dfrac{2.33\times 4.8}{0.65}=\sqrt{n}\\\\n=(\dfrac{11.184}{0.65})^2\\\\n=17.206^2\\\\n=296.051

Hence, sample size would be 296.
