Answer: t2 = 0.86 t1

0.286 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the speed of the two skaters to be

S1 = 12 m/s

S2 = 14 m/s

Since it is a race, the distance covered will be the same. But of different time.

First Skater

Speed = distance/time

Let's assume that the distance covered when the second overtakes the first is d

12 = d/t1

d = 12t1

Since the time of both skaters are not given, let us assume that distance where the second skater overtakes the first is 4 metres. Therefore

t1 = 4/12 = 0.3333 second

Second skater

Speed = distance/ time

14 = 12t1/t2

t2 = 12t1/14

t2 = 0.86 t1

t2 = 0.86(0.333)

0.286 seconds

The following data show the weight, in ounces, of 10 different bags of candy:
LuckyWell [14K]
B) is correct; on average, each bag of candy has a weight that is 2.6 oz different than the mean weight of 5 oz.

To find the mean absolute deviation, we first find the mean.  Find the sum of the data points and divide by the number of data points (without the outlier, 21, in it):
(10+3+7+3+4+6+10+1+2+4)/10 = 50/10 = 5

Now we find the difference between each data point and the mean, take its absolute value, and find their sum:
|10-5|+|3-5|+|7-5|+|3-5|+|4-5|+|6-5|+|10-5|+|1-5|+|2-5|+|4-5| =
5+2+2+2+1+1+5+4+3+1 = 26

We now divide this by the number of data points:
26/10 = 2.6

This is a measure of how much each bag of candy varies from the mean.

What irrational number can be added to pi to get a sum that is rational
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer is  -pi

Let x be this unknown number. Adding on x to pi gets us the expression x+pi

If we set x+pi equal to zero (which is a rational number) and solve for x, we get

x+pi = 0

x+pi - pi = 0 - pi

x = -pi

so adding pi to -pi will lead to 0 since

x+pi = -pi+pi = 0
