West of a city, a certain eastbound route is straight and makes a steep descent toward the city. The highway has a 12% grade, wh

ich means that its slope is − 12/100. Driving on this road, you notice from elevation signs that you have descended a distance of 1000 ft. What is the change in your horizontal distance in miles? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Answer:

120 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A slope of 12/100 means for every 12 units of distance you move horizontally you descend by 100 of the same units vertically. Assuming now that the slope does not change, i.e it remains constant throughout your trip; descending by 1000 ft should mean you have moved horizontally by 120 ft so that the slope is maintained.

x/1000 = 12/100

x = 120 ft

Jami can mow 1/6 acre in 8 minutes. If her rate is constant, can Jami mow 1 1/2 acres in one hour?
lapo4ka [179]

Time taken by Jami to mow 1/6 acres is 8 minutes=8/60=2/15 hours.

Rate at which Jami is mowing will be:

rate=(number of acres)/(time)=(1/6)/(2/15)

=1/6÷2/15

=1/6×15/2

=5/4 acres/hour

=1.25 acres/hour

From above calculations we conclude that Jami cannot mow 1.5 acres in 1 hour

A machine that cuts corks for wine bottles operates in such a way that the distribution of the diameter of the corks produced is
mafiozo [28]

The proportion of defective corks produced by this machine through z test comes out is 0.320.

Given mean of 2 cm and standard deviation of 0.1 cm, The diameter is between 1.9 and 2.1 cm.

We have to find the proportion of defective corks that are produced by machine.

In this problem we have to first find z score and then we will be able to find the probability of defective corks produced by the machine.

Z=(X-μ)/σ

μ=2 cm and σ=0.1 cm.

Z value corresponding to X=1.9.

Z=(1.9-2)/0.1

=-0.1/0.1

=-1

Z value corresponding to X=2.1.

Z=(2.1-2)/0.1

=0.1/0.1

=1

P value of P(-1<Z<1)=2*0.3410=0.6820

Proportion of corks which are not defective=0.6820.

Proportion of corks which are defective=1-0.680.

=0.320

Hence the proportion of defective corks produced by machine is 0.320.
