Answer:

They would meet each other at $01 : 24$ PM.

Step-by-step explanation:

Erik took a trip to see his friend Mike who lives 308 miles away.

He left his place at 10 AM driving at 70 mph.

In 2 hours, his friend Mike left his place driving towards Erik at an average speed of 50 mph.

As Erik left his house at 10 AM driving at 70 mph and in 2 hours, his friend Mike left his place driving towards Erik at an average speed of 50 mph. It means

Erik left his place at 12:00 PM noon.

so, at 12:00 PM Erik had already traveled:

$2\times 70=140\:\:miles$

Miles left $=308-140=168\:\:miles$

Let 't' be the time when they meet

$70t\:+\:50t\:=168$

$120t=168$

$\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}120$

$\frac{120t}{120}=\frac{168}{120}$

$t=\frac{7}{5}$

$t=\frac{7}{5}=1.4\:\:hours$

or $1$ hour and $24$ minutes after $12:00$ noon

i.e.

$12\:+\:1.4\:=1\:O'clock\:+\:24\:minutes$

Therefore, they would meet each other at $01 : 24$ PM.

an outlier may be defined as a data point that is more than 1.5 times the interquartile range below the lower quartile or is mor

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Supposing a normal distribution, we find that:

The diameter of the smallest tree that is an outlier is of 16.36 inches.

--------------------------------

We suppose that tree diameters are normally distributed with mean 8.8 inches and standard deviation 2.8 inches.

In a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score 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, which is the percentile of X.

In this problem:

Mean of 8.8 inches, thus $\mu = 8.8$ .
Standard deviation of 2.8 inches, thus $\sigma = 2.8$ .

The interquartile range(IQR) is the difference between the 75th and the 25th percentile.

25th percentile:

X when Z has a p-value of 0.25, so X when Z = -0.675.

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

$-0.675 = \frac{X - 8.8}{2.8}$

$X - 8.8 = -0.675(2.8)$

$X = 6.91$

75th percentile:

X when Z has a p-value of 0.75, so X when Z = 0.675.

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

$0.675 = \frac{X - 8.8}{2.8}$

$X - 8.8 = 0.675(2.8)$

$X = 10.69$

The IQR is:

$IQR = 10.69 - 6.91 = 3.78$

What is the diameter, in inches, of the smallest tree that is an outlier?

The diameter is 1.5IQR above the 75th percentile, thus:

$10.69 + 1.5(3.78) = 16.36$

The diameter of the smallest tree that is an outlier is of 16.36 inches.

Experimental probability is more accurate and more close to theoretical probability by having the most trials. More trials = more accuracy. Less trials = less accuracy.
