Answer:

B) 5:19 P.M.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that two trains arrived at a station at 2:55 P.M., with one arriving on Track A, and the other arriving on Track B. Trains arrive on Track A every 16 minutes, and they arrive on Track B every 18 minutes.

Now we need to find about at what time will trains next arrive at the same time on both tracks.

Then next time trains arrive at the same time on both tracks. can be found by taking least common multiple of 16 and 18 minutes.

Multiples of 16 and 18 are

16 32 48 64 80 96 112 128 144 160

18 36 54 72 90 108 126 144 162 180

Least common multiple of both is 144

Hence both trains will arrive at the same time after 144 minutes

or at (2:55 PM+144 minutes)

= (2 hours 55 min)+(144 min) PM

= (2 hours 55 min)+(2 hours 24 min) PM

= (2 hours 55 min)+(2 hours 24 min) PM

= 5 hours 19 minutes

Hence correct choice is B) 5:19 P.M.

PTC is a substance that has a strong bitter taste for some people and is tasteless for others. The ability to taste PTC is inher
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

a) n=\frac{0.76(1-0.76)}{(\frac{0.01}{1.64})^2}=4905.83  

And rounded up we have that n=4906

b) For this case since we don't have prior info we need to use as estimatro for the proportion \hat p =0.5

n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.01}{1.64})^2}=6724  

And rounded up we have that n=6724

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to remember that the confidence interval for the true proportion is given by :  

\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}

Part a

The estimated proportion for this case is \hat p =0.76

Our interval is at 90% of confidence, and the significance level is given by \alpha=1-0.90=0.1 and \alpha/2 =0.05. The critical values for this case are:

z_{\alpha/2}=-1.64, t_{1-\alpha/2}=1.64

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:  

ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}    (a)  

The margin of error desired is given ME =\pm 0.01 and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:  

n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}   (b)  

Replacing we got:

n=\frac{0.76(1-0.76)}{(\frac{0.01}{1.64})^2}=4905.83  

And rounded up we have that n=4906

Part b

For this case since we don't have prior info we need to use as estimatro for the proportion \hat p =0.5

n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.01}{1.64})^2}=6724  

And rounded up we have that n=6724

Jamil finds that he reads 1/5 of his 115-page book in 1/4 hour
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

He will read 92 pages in an hour going by the current rate at which he reads

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is as follows;

Jamil found that he reads 1/5 of his 115 - page book in 1/4 of an hour. At this rate how many pages does he read in an hour

We proceed as follows;

If he reads 1/5 of 115 in 1/4 hour

1/5 of 115 pages refer to 1/5 * 115 = 23 pages

This means that he reads 23 pages in quarter of an hour

So in an hours the number of pages he will read will be 23 * 4 = 92 pages

To make a specific hair dye, a hair stylist uses a ratio of 1 1/8 oz of red tone, 3/4 oz of gray
nadezda [96]

Answer:

We can call the amounts of red, gray, and brown dye 1 1/8x, 3/4x and 5/8 x respectively and we can write the equation:

1 1/8x + 3/4x + 5/8x = 20

2 1/2x = 20

x = 8 which means that the stylist needs 1 1/8 * 8 = 9 oz red, 3/4 * 8 = 6 oz gray and 5/8 * 8 = 5 oz brown.

What is the unknown fraction?
daser333 [38]

Answer:

A. 31/100

Step-by-step explanation:

Change 3/10 to hundreds:

3/10 × 10/10 = 30/100

The denominator (the bottom number) must be 100.

61 - 30 is 31.

The missing number is 31/100. See image.
