If they flash at 30 and 40 seconds, then a diagram showing their timing helps

30, 60, 90, 120
40, 80, 120

So after 120 seconds, both lighthouses flash at the same time
120 sec = 2 minutes

So the answer is 10:42

Which procedure justifies whether Negative 3 x (5 minus 4) + 3 (x minus 6) is equivalent to Negative 12 x minus 6? The expressio

Nady [450]

Answer:

The expressions are not equivalent because -3(2)(5-4)+3(2-6)=-18 and -12(2)-6=-30

Step-by-step explanation:

Two expressions are said to be equal if after a number is substituted to the expression, they produce the same result (that is they have the same value).

To determine whether -3x(5-4)+3(x-6) is equivalent to -12x-6, we have to substitute the same number to the expression and see if it produces the same result.

Substituting 2 to the first expression gives:

-3×2(5-4) + 3(2 - 6) = -6 - 12 = -18

Substituting 2 to the second expression gives:

-12(2) - 6 = -24 - 6 = -30

Since -3×2(5-4) + 3(2 - 6) = -6 - 12 = -18 and -12(2) - 6 = -24 - 6 = -30, the expressions are not equivalent because they do not produce the same result.

What is the 6th term of the geometric sequence 4, −20, 100, ...?

shtirl [24]

Let's calculate r of this G.P: (-20)/(4) = - 5(100)/(-20) = - 5So r = -5
The formula to find the nth term of a GP is;
a(n) = a(r)ⁿ⁻¹
<u />a₆ = a(r)⁶⁻¹
a₆ = 4(-5)⁵ = -12500<u />

The weights of college football players are normally distributed with a mean of 200 pounds and a standard deviation of 50 pounds

Feliz [49]

Answer:

0.3811 = 38.11% probability that he weighs between 170 and 220 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

$\mu = 200, \sigma = 50$
