Answer:

The distance on the map between the two towns=14 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Express the scale as;

1:200,000 this means that 1 cm on the map represents 200,000 cm on the road, 1 cm:200,000 cm

Step 2

Convert 28 kilometers to m

1 meter=1,000 kilometers

28 kilometers=28×1,000=28,000 meters

Convert 28,000 meters to centimeters

1 meter=100 centimeters

28,000 meters=28,000×100=2,800,000 centimeters

Step 3

Using the scale factor of 1:200,000 convert 2,800,000 cm on the road can be converted to map measurements as follows;

Distance on the map=scale factor×distance on the road

where;

scale factor=1/200,000

distance on the road=2,800,000 cm

replacing;

Distance on the map=(1/200,000)×2,800,000

Distance on the map=14 cm

The distance on the map between the two towns=14 cm

siniylev [52]

Answer:

17 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

So to find the answer you need to subtract. If the temp went down 22.1 degrees and it is -5.1 degrees you will subtract 22.1 - 5.1. This equals 17 degrees. You know the answer is correct because you can check your answer by adding: 5.1 + 17 = 22.1. We are disregarding the negative sign.

The waiting time, in hours, between successive speeders spotted by a radar unit is a continuous ran- dom variable with a cumulat
enyata [817]

Answer: 0.5507

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The waiting time, in hours, between successive speeders spotted by a radar unit is a continuous random variable X with a cumulative distribution function

F(x)= \begin{cases}0,& x

Since , the waiting time is in hours , then we can write 12 minutes as \dfrac{12}{60} hour i.e.0.2 hour.

Now, the probability of waiting fewer than 12 minutes between successive speeders is given by :-

P(X

Hence, the required probability = 0.5507
