George walks 1 mile to school. He leaves home at the same time each day, walks at a steady speed of 3 miles per hour, and arrive

s just as school begins. Today he was distracted by the pleasant weather and walked the first 1/2 mile at a speed of only 2 miles per hour. At how many miles per hour must George run the last 1/2 mile in order to arrive just as school begins today?

Answer:

George must run the last half mile at a speed of 6 miles per hour in order to arrive at school just as school begins today

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating the number of hours George must walk to arrive at school the normal time he arrives given that his speed is different from what it used to be.

Let’s first start at looking at how many hours he take per day on a normal day, all things being equal.

Mathematically;

time = distance/speed

He walks 1 mile at 3 miles per hour.

Thus, the total amount of time he spend each normal day would be;

time = 1/3 hour or 20 minutes

Now, let’s look at his split journey today. What we know is that by adding the times taken for each side of the journey, he would arrive at the school the normal time he arrives given that he left home at the time he used to.

Let the unknown speed be x miles/hour

Mathematically;

We shall be using the formula for time by dividing the distance by the speed

1/3 = 1/2/(2) + 1/2/x

1/3 = 1/4 + 1/2x

1/2x = 1/3 - 1/4

1/2x = (4-3)/12

1/2x = 1/12

2x = 12

x = 12/2

x = 6 miles per hour

Tahmid has 96 G.I. Joe action figures and Sandeep has one-third as much as Tahmid does. How many figures must Tahmid give Sandee
Ann [662]
Tahmid has 96 figures, Sandeep has 1/3 of it so 
96(1/3) = 96/3 = 32
Sandeep has 32 figures

Tahmid 96 ; Sandeep 32

How many must tahmid give so they have the same figures?
First take the difference of the two so we know how many tahmid can give. 
96-32 = 64
now they each have 32 and 64 give or keep. for each one tahmid gives, he must keep one himself so to match the number they both own. so we divide the number of 2, one part to give, the other part to keep himself.
64/2 = 32
So, Tahmid must give Sandeep 32 figures to have equal number of figures of 64 each.

When n is small (less than 30), how does the shape of the t distribution compare to the normal distribution?
Anna [14]

When n is small (less than 30), how does the shape of the t distribution compare to the normal distribution then"it is flatter and wider than the normal distribution."

<h3>What is normal distribution?</h3>

The normal distribution explains a symmetrical plot of data around the mean value, with the standard deviation defining the width of the curve. It is represented graphically as "bell curve."

Some key features regarding the normal distribution are-

  • The normal distribution is officially known as the Gaussian distribution, but the term "normal" was coined after scientific publications in the nineteenth century demonstrated that many natural events emerged to "deviate normally" from the mean.
  • The naturalist Sir Francis Galton popularized the concept of "normal variability" as the "normal curve" in his 1889 work, Natural Inheritance.
  • Even though the normal distribution is a crucial statistical concept, the applications in finance are limited because financial phenomena, such as expected stock-market returns, do not fit neatly within a normal distribution.
  • In fact, prices generally follow a right-skewed log-normal distribution with fatter tails.

As a result, relying as well heavily on the a bell curve when forecasting these events can yield unreliable results.
