There are two groups of people, three in each, for painting a wall. The numbers in the next two sentences express the time (in h

ours) spent on painting. In group A, Alex 2.5, Adam 3.6, and Antimo 4.7. In group Z, Zairo 2.2, Zeno 3.2, and Zubro 4.9. Estimate the total time for group A and for group Z when all three workers in each group work together. Which group can paint the wall faster and why do you think so?

Answer:

1. The total time taken for group A to paint the wall together is 1.12 hours

2. The total time taken for group Z to paint the wall together is 1.03 hours

3. group Z can paint the wall faster

Step-by-step explanation:

The time spent on painting are;

Group A

Alex = 2.5 hours

Adam = 3.6 hours

Antimo = 4.7 hours

1. We have for group A

Alex's paint rate = 1 wall in 2.5 hours = 1/2.5 wall/hour

Adam's paint rate = 1 wall in 3.6 hours = 1/3.6 wall/hour

Antimo's paint rate = 1 wall in 4.7 hours = 1/4.7 wall/hour

When the three workers work together, we have;

1/2.5 wall/hour + 1/3.6 wall/hour + 1/4.7 wall/hour = 3767/4230 wall/hour

Therefore, the time for the three workers of group A to paint one wall is given as follows;

Time \ to \ paint \, one \, wall = \frac{1 \, wall}{\frac{3767}{4230} wall/hour}  = 1\tfrac{463}{3767} hours

The total time taken for group A to paint the wall together = 1.12 hours

2. The data for group Z is as follows;

Zairo = 2.2 hours

Zeno = 3.2 hours

Zubro = 4.9 hours

We have for group Z

Zairo's paint rate = 1 wall in 2.2 hours = 1/2.2 wall/hour

Zeno's paint rate = 1 wall in 3.2 hours = 1/3.2 wall/hour

Zubro's paint rate = 1 wall in 4.9 hours = 1/4.9 wall/hour

When the three workers work together, we have;

1/2.2 wall/hour + 1/3.2 wall/hour + 1/4.9 wall/hour = 8375/8624 wall/hour

Therefore, the time for the three workers of group Z to paint one wall is given as follows;

Time \ to \ paint \, one \, wall = \frac{1 \, wall}{\frac{8375}{8624} wall/hour}  = 1\tfrac{249}{8375} hours

The total time taken for group Z to paint the wall together = 1.03 hours

3. Since the total time for group A to paint the wall which is 1.2 hours is more than the total time for group Z to paint the wall which is 1.03 hours, group Z can paint the wall faster.

Answer:

11/13

Step-by-step explanation:

4 out of the 26 marbles are blue, meaning that the rest of the 22 marbles are not blue. (26-4=22)

This means that out of the total 26, the chance of not picking a blue marble are 22/26=11/13

Answer:

y = \frac{3}{2} x + 13

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Use point-slope formula y-y_1 = m (x-x_1) to find the slope-intercept form (or y = mx + b form) of the equation. m represents the slope, and x_1 and y_1 represent the x and y values of a point the line intersects. So, substitute \frac{3}{2} for m, -4 for x_1, and 7 for y_1. Then, simplify and isolate y on the left side like so:

y-(7) = \frac{3}{2} (x - (-4)) \\y -7 = \frac{3}{2} (x + 4) \\y - 7 = \frac{3}{2} x + 6\\y = \frac{3}{2} x + 13

En un estudio estadistico se van a usar unicamente variables cuantitativas discretas para ingresarlas a un programa de analisis
notka56 [123]

Answer:

la variable que se debe ingresar en el programa corresponde a: c. edad

Step-by-step explanation:

Las variables cuantitativas son aquellas que toman valores numéricos y se clasifican en variables cuantitativas discretas que son las que sólo pueden asumir un número limitado de valores en un determinado rango, como por ejemplo, el número de carros que posee una persona y variables cuantitativas continuas que pueden tomar cualquier valor en un rango específico, como por ejemplo, el peso de un objeto. De acuerdo a estas definiciones, la respuesta es que la variable que se debe ingresar en el programa corresponde a: edad porque es una variable discreta dado que se registra en números enteros y no acepta cualquier valor en un intervalo específico.

Las otras opciones no son correctas porque la nacionalidad y el nivel de escolaridad no son variables cuantitativas y la altura es una variable cuantitativa continua.
