Answer: speed of the car is 88 miles per hour

the speed of the motorcycle is 78 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of miles travelled by car = 312

Number of miles travelled by motorcycle = 272

Let x = speed of the car

Let y = speed of the motorcycle

If the car's speed is 10mph more than the motorcycle's, it means

x = y + 10 - - -- - - 1

Time taken for car to travel 312 miles is distance /speed = 312/x

Time taken for motorcycle to travel 272 miles is distance /speed = 272/y

The car travels 312 miles in the same time that a motorcycle traveled 272.

This means

312/x = 272/y

312y = 272x

y = 272x/312

Substituting y = 272x/312 into equation 1, it becomes

x = 272x/312 + 10

312x = 272x + 3120

312x-272x = 3120

40x = 3120

x = 3120/40 = 78 miles per hour

x = y + 10 = y + 78

x = 88 miles per hour

The area of a rectangular barnyard is given by the trinomial 6x2 + 7x – 20. What are the possible dimensions of the barnyard? Us
sertanlavr [38]
Area of a rectangular barnyard: A=6x^2+7x-20
A=6(6x^2+7x-20)/6
A=[(6^2)(x^2)+7(6x)-120]/6
A=[(6x)^2+7(6x)-120]/6
A=(6x+15)(6x-8)/6
A=(6x+15)(6x-8)/[(3)(2)]
A=(6x/3+15/3)(6x/2-8/2)
A=(2x+5)(3x-4)
A=bh
b=2x+5; h=3x-4
Answer: The possible dimensions of the barnyard are 2x+5 and 3x-4

If p = .8 and n = 50, then we can conclude that the sampling distribution of pˆ is approximately a normal distribution
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Yes we can conclude.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sampling distribution of \hat{p} can be approximated as a Normal Distribution only if:

np and nq are both equal to or greater than 10. i.e.

  • np ≥ 10
  • nq ≥ 10

Both of these conditions must be met in order to approximate the sampling distribution of \hat{p} as Normal Distribution.

From the given data:

n = 50

p = 0.80

q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.80 = 0.20

np = 50(0.80) = 40

nq = 50(0.20) = 10

This  means the conditions that np and nq must be equal to or greater than 10 is being satisfied. So, we can conclude that the sampling distribution of pˆ is approximately a normal distribution
