Answer:x=2,-8

Step-by-step explanation:

X^2+6x-6-10=0

x2+6x-16=0

x2-2x+8x-16=0

X(x-2)+8(x-2)=0

(x+8)(x-2)=0

X-2=0 x+8=0

X=2,-8

Mr. Walker, a runner, asked students to find the unit rate of the winner of the first Boston Marathon in 1897. John J. McDermott

EleoNora [17]

Answer: 8.4 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, total distance = 24.5 miles,

Time taken = $175 \text{ minutes} = \frac{175}{60} \text{ hours} =\frac{35}{12} \text{ hours}$

Thus,

$\text{ The unit rate} = \frac{\text{ Total distance}}{\text{ Time taken}}$

$=\frac{24.5}{35/12}$

$=\frac{294}{35}$

$=8.4\text{ miles per hour}$

A geologist has collected 5 specimens of basaltic rock and 7 specimens of granite. The geologist instructs a laboratory assistan

MaRussiya [10]

The rocks are chosen without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question. First we get the parameters, and then we answer the questions. From this, we get that:

$E(X) = 5.25, Var(X) = 0.5966$
P(X < 6) = 0.9545
P(all specimens of one of the two types of rock are selected for analysis) = 0.2046.

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}$

In which:

x is the number of successes.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

Combinations formula:

$C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

The mean and the variance are:

$\mu = \frac{nk}{N}$

$\sigma^2 = \frac{nk(N-k)(N-n)}{N^2(N-1)}$

We have that:

5 + 7 = 12 rocks, which means that $N = 12$

9 are chosen, which means that $n = 9$

7 are granite, which means that $k = 7$

Question a:

$E(X) = \mu = \frac{9\times7}{12} = 5.25$

$Var(X) = \sigma^2 = \frac{9\times7(12-7)(12-9)}{12^2(12-1)} = 0.5966$

Thus:

$E(X) = 5.25, Var(X) = 0.5966$

Question b:

Since there are only 5 specimens of basaltic rock, at least 9 - 5 = 4 specimens of granite are needed, which means that:

$P(X < 6) = P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6)$

In which

$P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}$

$P(X = 4) = h(4,12,9,7) = \frac{C_{7,4}*C_{5,5}}{C_{12,9}} = 0.1591$

$P(X = 5) = h(5,12,9,7) = \frac{C_{7,5}*C_{5,4}}{C_{12,9}} = 0.4773$

$P(X = 6) = h(6,12,9,7) = \frac{C_{7,6}*C_{5,3}}{C_{12,9}} = 0.3181$

Thus

$P(X < 6) = P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) = 0.1591 + 0.4773 + 0.3181 = 0.9545$

So P(X < 6) = 0.9545.

Question c:

5 of basaltic and 4 of granite: 0.1591 probability.

7 of granite is P(X = 7), in which

$P(X = 7) = h(7,12,9,7) = \frac{C_{7,7}*C_{5,2}}{C_{12,9}} = 0.0455$

0.1591 + 0.0455 = 0.2046, thus:

P(all specimens of one of the two types of rock are selected for analysis) = 0.2046.

A 600g packet of biscuits costs $2.40. Calculate How much would a 200g packet cost?

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

$0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a relation of direct proportion between quantity of biscuit and its cost.

Let 200 g biscuit will cost $x.

Therefore,

$\frac{600}{2.40} = \frac{200}{x} \\ \\ x = \frac{2.40 \times 200}{600} \\ \\ x = 0.4 \times 2 \\ \\ x = 0.8$
