Answer: The required sprinter's unit rate is 31 feet per second.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that a sprinter can run 279 feet in 9 seconds.

We are to find the sprinter's unit rate of feet per second.

We will be using the UNITARY method to solve the given problem.

According to the given information, we have

In 9 second, distance run by the sprinter = 279 feet.

Therefore, in 1 second, the distance run by sprinter will be

$\dfrac{279}{9}=31~\textup{feet per second}.$

Thus, the required sprinter's unit rate is 31 feet per second.

279ft/9sec = xft/1sec
Cross multiply to get
9x = 279 divide by 9
x = 31
31 feet per second

Answer:

Looking for four values or answers

(A) 5.05

(B) 13

(D) $254,145.38

Step-by-step explanation:

(A) The value of the margin of error.

Using a 90% confidence level or 0.10 alpha level,

1 - alpha = 1 - 0.10 = 0.90

The degrees of freedom = n - 1 = 14 - 1 = 13

Using the t table, 0.90 under 13 is 1.350

Sample size divided by √n is equal to

14/√14 = 3.742

1.35 × 3.742 = 5.05

(B) 13 degrees of freedom

(C) To find the lower and upper limits, you find the mean value first and then subtract / add to half of the margin of error which is 5.05÷2 = 2.525

Adding the 14 values together, you have $3,558,000

Dividing by 14 to get the mean;

Mean = $254,142.8571

Lower Limit: $254,140.33

Upper Limit: $254,145.38

HELP! I put the formula but I don’t know the radius

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

C. 8,624

Step-by-step explanation:

recall that the formula for circumference is

Circumference = 2πr ( = given as 85 meters)

hence,

85 = 2πr

r = 85/(2π)

given h = 15m

volume of cylinder

= πr²h

= π (85/2π)² 15 (using calculator and assuming π = 3.14)

= 8628.58

Comparing with the choices, the closest choice (within rounding error) is C. 8,624
