One student begins in Cleveland, Ohio, and walks towards Buffalo, New York, a distance of 200 miles. She walks at the rate of 2.

5 miles per hour. Another student begins riding his bicycle in Cleveland and rides towards Buffalo at the rate of 11 miles per hour. The walking student begins her journey at 8:00 AM. The riding student starts 4 hours later.
Part A Write a system of two equations that could be used to find the distance each student is from Cleveland, Ohio, at any given time. Let x represent the distance that the walking student is from Cleveland, let y represent the distance that the riding student is from Cleveland, and let t be the time that has elapsed since the walking student left Cleveland.

Part B Solve the system of equations for x and y to determine how many hours elapse before the students meet.

Ok so student in cleveland walks 2.5 miles away from cleveland every hour from 8
so the distance, x is x=2.5t

the riding one rides 4 hours later, so t-4
11 mph
y=11(t-4)

A. x=2.5t
y=11(t-4)

when do they meet is when the distance when they are equal or when x=y
2.5t=x=y=11(t-4)
solve for t
2.5t=11(t-4)
2.5t=11t-44
-8.5t=-44
divide both sides by -8.5
t=5.17647

answer is 5.18 hours


A.
x=2.5t
y=11(t-4)

B. 5.18 hours

What percentage of the data falls outside 1 standard deviation of the mean?
Alik [6]

We all know about the bell curve i.e. normal distribution curve. It is centered about the mean and spread equally on each side.

We describe the area of the curve with the help of standard deviations.

With in 1 standard deviation about the mean i.e. from -1 s.d. (left of mean) to +1 s.d. (right of mean), it covers 68% of the total area of curve.

So, the data that falls outside 1 standard deviation of the mean would be equal to (100% - 68%) i.e. 32%.

So, 32% is the final answer.

steve has quiz scores of 60,64,75,71. If all the quizzes count the same, what is the lowest grade he can make on the next quiz t
NeX [460]

Answer:

The last quiz score must be at least an 80 to get the average to be a 70.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, you need to take the average of the 4 test scores along with the unknown test score (x). So, to find an average, we add all the numbers together and divide by the amount of tests taken. We can then set this equal to 70 since that is the minimum average.

(60 + 64 + 75 + 71 + x)/5 = 70 ------> Multiply both sides by 5

(60 + 64 + 75 + 71 + x) = 350 -----> Combine like terms

270 + x = 350 -----> Subtract 270 from both sides

x = 80
