Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is an illustration of the problem:

             ----------------------------->|<------------------

            A                                  t                     J

Alex and Jo start from their separate homes and drive towards one another.  The t indicates the time at which they meet, which is the same time for both.  Filling in a d = rt table:

              d           =        r        x        t

Alex                              14                t

Jo                                   6                t

The formula for motion is d = rt, so that means that Alex's distance is 14t and Jo's distance is 6t.

             

                      14t                               6t

   ---------------------------------->|<------------------

   A                                       t                      J

The distance between them is 5 miles, so that means that Alex's distance plus Jo's distance equals 5 miles.  In equation form:

14t + 6t = 5 and

20t = 5 so

t = .25 hours or 15 minutes.

If they leave their homes at 3 and they meet 15 minutes later, then they meet at 3:15.

Find the variance of this probability distribution. Round to two decimal places.​
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Variance = 4.68

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the variance is:

\sigma^{2} =\frac{\Sigma(X- \mu)^{2}}{N} \\or \\ \sigma^{2} =\frac{\Sigma(X)^{2}}{N} -\mu^{2} \\

Where:

X: Values \\\mu: Mean \\N: Number\ of\ values

The mean can be calculated as each value multiplied by its probability

\mu = 0*0.4 + 1*0.3 + 2*0.1+3*0.15+ 4*0.05=1.15

\frac{\Sigma (X)^{2}}{N} =\frac{(0^{2}+1^{2}+2^{2}+3^{2}+4^{2})}{5} =6

Replacing the mean and the summatory of X:

\sigma^{2} = \frac{\Sigma(X)^{2}}{N} -\mu^{2} \\= 6 - 1.15^{2}\\= 4.6775

What is the surface area of the Triangular Prism rounded to the nearest tenth?
Illusion [34]

Answer:

C. 43.6

Step-by-step explanation:

you need to take the area of each shape

lets do the skinny triangles first on the top and bottom of this shape.

so to find the formula of triangle we need to do 0.5 * 1.26 * 5.3

because the formula of a triangle is half the base times height.

so we get 0.5 * 1.26 * 5.3 = 3.339

multiply it by two and we get 6.678

now lets find the area of the huge rectangle on the back/behind of the shape

3.3*5.3 = 17.49

now lets find the area of the two smaller rectangles

3.3 * 3.6 = 11.88

2.3 * 3.3 = 7.59

now lets add

6.678 + 17.49 + 11.88 + 7.59 = 43.638

round it to 43.6
