The difference between both unit rates rounded off to the nearest tenth is: 0.4 meters per second

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate his unit rate for both type of races

So,

Unit rate for 400m race:

Distance = 400m

Time = 43 sec

$Unit\ rate = U_1= \frac{Distance}{Time}\\=\frac{400}{43}\\=9.30\ meters\ per\ second$

Unit rate for 300m Race:

Distance = 300m

Time = 31 sec

$Unit\ Rate= U_2=\frac{300}{31}\\=9.68\ meters\ per\ second$

The difference between both unit rates is:

$U_2-U_1 = 9.68-9.30\\=0.38 => 0.4\ meters\ per\ sec$

Hence,

The difference between both unit rates rounded off to the nearest tenth is: 0.4 meters per second

Answer:

The sample size must be approximately 211.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample mean, $\bar{x}$ = 654.1

Alpha, α = 0.02

Population standard deviation, σ = 311.7

Margin of error = 50

Formula:

$z_{critical}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.02} = \pm 2.33$

Putting all the values, we get,

$\pm 50 = \pm 2.33 (\dfrac{311.7}{\sqrt{n}} ) \\\\\sqrt{n} = \dfrac{2.33\times 311.7}{50}\\\\n = 210.98\\n \approx 211$

Thus, the sample size must be approximately 211.

How many whole numbers are there between 30 and 79?

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Definition of whole number: Whole numbers are a set of numbers including the set of natural numbers (1 to infinity) and the integer '0'

The formula for finding the number of whole numbers between to given numbers “m” and “n” (assuming that “m” and “n” are included in the listing, and that “n” is the larger value) is:

(n - m) + 1

And the formula gives:

(79 - 30) + 1 = 49 + 1 = 50
