Answer:

325,452 more meteors fell during the Perseid meteor shower

Step-by-step explanation:

An year has 365 days.

Each day has 24 hours.

Each hour has 60 minutes.

Minutes in an year:

365*24*60 = 525600

Persoid:

1 + \frac{1}{5} = 1 + 0.2 = 1.2

One each 1.2 minutes. How many during an year?

1 meteor - 1.2 minutes.

x meteors - 525600 minutes.

1.2x = 525600

x = \frac{525600}{1.2}

x = 438000

438,000 meteors fell during the Persoid shower.

Leonid:

4 + \frac{2}{3} = 4.67

One each 4.67 minutes. How many during an year.

1 meteor - 4.67 minutes.

x meteors - 525600 minutes.

4.67x = 525600

x = \frac{525600}{4.67}

x = 112548

112,548 meteors fell during the Leonid Shower.

How many more meteors fell during the Perseid meteor shower?

438,000 - 112,548 = 325,452

325,452 more meteors fell during the Perseid meteor shower

How many solutions does the system of equations below have? y = 6x − 7 y = 5 3 x + 1 3
True [87]

Answer:

There will be 1 solution to the system of equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 6x - 7

y = 53x + 13

Since the two equations have different slopes and different y-intercepts, there will be 1 solution to the system of equations.

At a certain concert, 73 % of the audience was under 20 years old. A random sample of n = 146 members of the audience was select
Tatiana [17]

Answer:  p = 0.73

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

73% of the audience was under 20 years old :

so, probability (p) = 0.73

n = 146

Mean of the distribution of sample proportion = ?

According to central limit theorem,

np(1-p) ≥ 10

146 × 0.73(0.27) ≥ 10

28.77 ≥ 10

∴ Central limit theorem assumes that the sample distribution of the sample proportion is normally distributed.

Hence, the mean of the distribution of sample proportion:

μ = p = 0.73
