Ava wants to figure out the average speed she is driving. She starts checking her car’s clock at mile marker 0. It takes her 4 m

inutes to reach mile marker 3. When she reaches mile marker 6, she notes that 8 minutes total have passed since mile marker 0. What is the average speed of the car in miles per minute? What is an equation of the line that represents n, the number of mile marker passed, as a function of t, time in minutes? PLEASE HELP

Answer:

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

The average speed is given by the following formula:

● V = d/t

● d is the distance covered

● t is the time spent to cover the distance d

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

Ava takes 8 minutes to go from mile marker 0 to mile marker6.

● the distance Ava traveled is 6 miles

● the time Ava spent to reach mile marker 6 is 8 minutes

So the average speed of Ava is:

● V = 6/ 8 = 3/4 = 0.75 mile per min

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

Let's The equation of the line that links the number of milemarkers (n) and the time (t).

Ava went from mile marker 0 to mile marker 6.

At t=0 Ava just started travelling from mile marker 0 to 1.

Afrer 8 minutes,she was at mile marker 6.

So 8 min => 6 mile markers (igonring mile marker 0 since the distance there was 0 mile)

6/8= 0.75

Then n/t = 0.75

● n = 0.75 * t

Let's check

● n= 0.75*4 = 3

That's true since after 4 minutes Ava was at mile marker 3.

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

The minimum sample size needed is $n = (\frac{1.96\sqrt{\sigma}}{4})^2$ . If n is a decimal number, it is rounded up to the next integer. $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.9}{2} = 0.05$

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of $1 - \alpha$ .

That is z with a pvalue of $1 - 0.05 = 0.95$ , so Z = 1.645.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

How large a sample must she select if she desires to be 90% confident that her estimate is within 4 ounces of the true mean?

A sample of n is needed, and n is found when M = 4. So

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$4 = 1.96\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$4\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{\sigma}$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{\sigma}}{4}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96\sqrt{\sigma}}{4})^2$

$n = (\frac{1.96\sqrt{\sigma}}{4})^2$

The minimum sample size needed is $n = (\frac{1.96\sqrt{\sigma}}{4})^2$ . If n is a decimal number, it is rounded up to the next integer. $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population.

millicent earned $435 last year in interest. If $3000 was invested at a certain rate of return and $4500 was invested in a fund

tatiyna

Answer:

7% and 5%

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the two rates of interest is shown below;

The interest rate for $3,000 be x%

And, for $4,500 the interest rate is (x -2%)

The total interest earned is

= x% of $4,500 + (x - 2)% of $4,500

So, the two rates of interest is

x% of $4,500 + (x - 2)% of $4,500 = $435

30x + 45(x - 2) = $435

30x + 45x - 90 = $43

75x = $25

x = 7%

x - 2 = 7 - 2

= 5%

HIGH POINT QUESTION

Lelu [443]

Answer:

Reflection in the x-axis

Step-by-step explanation:

If the point (x, y) of the shape is rotated 180° about the origin, it will be transformed into the point (-x, -y).

If the point (-x, -y) is reflected in the Y-axis, it will be transformed into the point (x, -y). This transformation is equivalent to the reflection of (x, y) in the x-axis.

Find the standard deviation for the group of data items 4, 4, 4, 4, 6, 8 The standard deviation is (Simplify your answer. Round

marysya [2.9K]

Answer: 1.53

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data : 4, 4, 4, 4, 6, 8

Number of data values : n= 6

The mean value of the given data will be :-

$\overline{x}=\dfrac{\sum_{i=1}^{6}x_i}{n}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \overline{x}=\dfrac{30}{6}=5$

The formula to find standard deviation:_

$\sqrt{\dfrac{\sum(x-\overline{x})^2}{n}]$

Now,

$\sum_{i=1}^{6}(x_i-\overline{x})^2=(-1)^2+(-1)^2+(-1)^2+(-1)^2+(1)^2+(3)^2\\\\=1+1+1+1+1+9=14$

The standard deviation will be :-

$\sigma=\sqrt{\dfrac{14}{6}}\approx1.53$
