Answer:

The overall change in temperature over the time period ∆T = -12.6°F

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of change of temperature r = -2.8°F per hour

Time t = 4.5 hours

The overall change in temperature ∆T = Rate of change of temperature × time period

∆T = r × t

∆T = -2.8°F per hour × 4.5 hours

∆T = -12.6°F

The overall change in temperature over the time period is -12.6°F

ABCD is a rectangle and AC and BD are its diagonals. If AC = 10 cm, then BD is?

kiruha [24]

Answer:

A. 10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

In a right angled triangle, a² + b² = c² where c is the diagonal or hypotenuse. If you split a rectangle diagonally into two right angle triangles, the a and b of both triangles would be the same length. Therefore, the c or diagonals would also be the same length - 10 cm.

Hope this helps!

Customers arrive at a movie theater at the advertised movie time only to find that they have to sit through several previews and

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Using a 90% confidence level

A. A sample size of 68 should be used.

B. A sample size of 98 should be used.

Step-by-step explanation:

I think there was a small typing mistake and the confidence level was left out. I will use a 90% confidence level.

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1-0.9}{2} = 0.05$

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of $1-\alpha$ .

So it is z with a pvalue of $1-0.05 = 0.95$ , so $z = 1.645$

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

A. If we want to estimate the population mean time for previews at movie theaters with a margin of error of 72 seconds, what sample size should be used?

We have the standard deviation in minutes, so the margin of error should be in minutes.

72 seconds is 72/60 = 1.2 minutes.

So we need a sample size of n, and n is found when M = 1.2. We have that $\sigma = 6$ . So

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$1.2 = 1.645*\frac{6}{\sqrt{n}}$

$1.2\sqrt{n} = 6*1.645$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{6*1.645}{1.2}$

$(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (\frac{6*1.645}{1.2})^{2}$

$n = 67.65$

Rounding up.

A sample size of 68 should be used.

B. If we want to estimate the population mean time for previews at movie theaters with a margin of error of 1 minute, what sample size should be used?

Same logic as above, just use M = 1.

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$1 = 1.645*\frac{6}{\sqrt{n}}$

$\sqrt{n} = 6*1.645$

$(\sqrt{n})^{2} = (6*1.645)^2$

$n = 97.42$

Rounding up

A sample size of 98 should be used.

Sanjit drives the 45 km distance between York and Leeds he then drives a further 42 km from Leeds to Blackpool

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer: His average speed for his total journey from York to Blackpool is approximately 61.41 km/h.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{ The average speed}=\frac{\text{Total distance covered}}{\text{Total time taken}}$

Since, The distance covered by him from York to Leeds = 45 km,

The speed when he covered this distance = 54 km/ h

Thus, the time taken by him in travelling from York to Leeds = 45/54 hours (Because, Time = Distance/speed)

Now, The distance covered by him from Leeds to Blackpool = 42 km,

The time taken by him in travelling from Leeds to Blackpool = 35 minutes = 35/60 hours

Hence, the total time taken by him in this journey

$=\frac{45}{54}+\frac{35}{60}=\frac{450+315}{540}=\frac{765}{540}=\frac{17}{12}$ hours

And, the total distance he covered= 45 + 42 = 87 km

Thus, His average speed

$=\frac{87}{17/12}= \frac{12\times 87}{17}=\frac{1044}{17}=61.4117647\approx 61.41\text{ km per hour}$
