Answer:

  3 runners

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of runners needed is the length of the race divided by the length each runner can run:

  (1/3 mi)/(1/9 mi/runner) = 9/3 runner = 3 runners

_____

There are a couple of ways you can divide fractions:

  → "invert and multiply." That is, multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator. Here, that is (1/3)(9/1) = 9/3 = 3

  → make the denominators the same and use the ratio of the numerators. Here that is (1/3)/(1/9) = (3/9)/(1/9) = 3/1 = 3

  → use a calculator (see attached)

A simple random sample of 32 men from a normally distributed population results in a standard deviation of 12.9 beats per minute
krok68 [10]

Answer:

Null Hypothesis, H0 = The pulse rates of men have a standard deviation equal to 10 beats per minute

Alternate Hypothesis, H1 = The pulse rates of men do not have a standard deviation equal to 10 beats per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis is basically the problem statement i.e

Pulse rates of men have a standard deviation equal to 10 beats per minute

Hence, H0 = The pulse rates of men have a standard deviation equal to 10 beats per minute

The alternate hypothesis will contradict or negate the null hypothesis i.e

H1 = The pulse rates of men do not have a standard deviation equal to 10 beats per minute
