A cat chases a mouse. The cat is originally 4 feet behind the mouse, which is running in the same direction along the same route

as the cat. If the cat's speed is 17 feet per second and the mouse's speed is 12 feet per second, how long will it take the cat to catch up with the mouse?

The cat will take 0.8 seconds  to catch up with the mouse

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The  distance between the cat and the mouse =  4 feet

cat's speed  = 17 feet per second.

mouse's speed =  12 feet per second

To Find:

how long will it take the cat to catch up with the mouse = ?

Solution:

We know that

distance  = speed x  time

Rewriting the equation for time we get

time  =\frac{distance }{speed}

now we know that distance is  4 feet

and the speed is 17 -12 = 5 feet per second

Thus the time is

= \frac{4}{5}

= 0.8 seconds

Can some one please help me with this math question? Please and thank you

Answer:

V = 6373.2cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 --- Volume

D = 23cm --- Diameter

Required

Find the volume

First, we calculate the radius, r

r = \frac{1}{2}D

Substitute 23 for D

r = \frac{1}{2} * 23

r = 11.5

Substitute 11.5 for r in V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

V = \frac{4}{3} * \frac{22}{7} * 11.5^3

V = \frac{4*22*11.5^3}{3*7}

V = \frac{133837}{21}

V = 6373.19047619

V = 6373.2cm^3

10. A random sample of 10 fibers is taken from a collection of 92 fibers that consists of 43 fibers of polymer A, 17 fibers of p
vazorg [7]

Answer:

0.1150 = 11.50% probability that the sample does not contain any fibers of polymer B

Step-by-step explanation:

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x sucesses 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 sucesses.

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)!}

In this question:

Fibers are chosen without replacement, which means that we use the hypergeometric distribution.

92 fibers means that N = 92

Sample of 10 means that n = 10

No polymeter B which means that x = 0

17 fibers of polymeter B which means that k = 17

a. What is the probability that the sample does not contain any fibers of polymer B

This is P(X = 0).

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

P(X = 0) = h(0,92,10,17) = \frac{C_{17,0}*C_{75,10}}{C_{92,10}} = 0.1150

0.1150 = 11.50% probability that the sample does not contain any fibers of polymer B
