The hare challenged the tortoise to a race from the water fountain to the park bench. In order to ensure a fair race, the tortoi

se will start 100 feet in front of the hare. The tortoise is walking at a rate of 2 feet per minute. The hare is walking at a rate of 6 feet per minute.
A. How long will it take for the hare to catch up to the tortoise?
B. How long did the hare wait before walking (in order for the tortoise to walk 100 feet)?
C. The distance from the water fountain to the park bench is 130 feet. Who won the race?

(2n – 3)(5n+6)<br> How do I solve this ?
nalin [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(2n - 3)(5n + 6) = 2n*(5n + 6) -3*(5n +6)

=2n*5n + 2n*6 -3*5n + (-3)*6

=10n² + 12n - 15n - 18

= 10n² -3n - 18

What is the answer help plz
olga55 [171]

Answer:

y = -3x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope can be found using rise/run which comes out to be -3/1 and you can drop the 1 from the fraction to have -3. and then the y-intercept is found from where the line crosses the y-axis

Consider the next 1000 90% CIs for μ that a statistical consultant will obtain for various clients. Suppose the data sets on whi
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

90% CI expects to capture u 90% of time

(a) This means 0.9 * 1000 = 900 intervals will capture u

(b) Here we treat CI as binomial random variable, having probability 0.9 for success

n = 1000

p = 0.9

For this case, applying normal approximation to binomial, we get:

mean = n*p= 900

variance = n*p*(1-p) = 90

std dev = 9.4868

We want to Find : P(890 <= X <= 910) = P( 889.5 < X < 910.5) (integer continuity correction)

We convert to standard normal form, Z ~ N(0,1) by z1 = (x1 - u )/s

so z1 = (889.5 - 900 )/9.4868 = -1.11

so z2 = (910.5 - 900 )/9.4868 = 1.11

P( 889.5 < X < 910.5) = P(z1 < Z < z2) = P( Z < 1.11) - P(Z < -1.11)

= 0.8665 - 0.1335

= 0.733

Find the Z scores that separate the middle 27% of the distribution from the area in the tails of the standard normal distributio
vekshin1
Z- score is a statistical tool that is used to determine the probability of finding a number or a value under a normal distribution plot. A normal distribution assumes that the mean is equal to zero and that the standard deviation is equal to 1. Using the z-score table, we can find the probability either on the right side or the left side. Using the table hence, we find the probability to the left of the value. The probability that is equivalent to the unknown z should be equal to 0.5 + (0.27/2) = 0.635. 0.5 comes from the assumption that the area under the curve on each side is 50% of the total. The equivalent z score is equal to z = 0.345.

Gary draws this sequence of patterns of white and grey squares. The sequence is continued. How many grey squares will there be w
zzz [600]

Answer:

20 gray squares

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for squares

Required

Number of gray squares when white = 16

First, we calculate the equation that represents both squares.

<u>The white squares</u>

a = 2 --- initial

d = 4 - 2 = 6 - 4

d = 2 -- difference between successive gray squares

So, the nth term is:

W_n = a + (n - 1)d

W_n = 2 + (n - 1)*2

W_n = 2 + 2n - 2

W_n = 2n

<u>The gray squares</u>

a = 6 --- initial

d = 8-6=10-8

d = 2 -- difference between successive gray squares

So, the nth term is:

G_n = a + (n - 1)d

G_n = 6 + (n - 1) *2

G_n = 6 + 2n - 2

G_n = 4 + 2n

When the white squares is 16

W_n = 16 --- Calculate n

W_n = 2n

16 = 2n

8 = n

n = 8

To get the number of gray squares;

Substitute n = 8 in G_n = 4 + 2n

G_n = 4 + 2 * 8

G_n = 20
