8 seconds
The hardest part of this is setting up the equation -- the calculations are pretty easy.
You're told that the time (needed to go from 0 to 100 MPH) is inversely proportional to the horsepower: what this means is that as horsepower gets larger, time gets smaller. This makes sense since the more horsepower you have, the less time it will take you to get to 100 MPH
You can think of this as:
200 HP = 10 seconds
250 HP = x seconds
You set the equation up as:
250 HP / 200 HP = 10 sec / x sec
Now, just cross multiply and solve:
250 / 200 = 10 / x
250x = (200 x 10)
250x = 2000
x = 2000 / 250
x = 8
So, as you increase the horsepower from 200 to 250, the time decreases from 10 seconds to 8 seconds.
Hope this helps!
Good luck.
The correct answer would be B because .47 is bigger than 42/100 or .42
Tbh i’m just trying to get points
In a symmetric histogram, you have the same number of points to the left and to the right of the median. An example of this is the distribution {1,2,3,4,5}. We have 3 as the median and there are two items below the median (1,2) and two items above the median (4,5).
If we place another number into this distribution, say the number 5, then we have {1,2,3,4,5,5} and we no longer have symmetry. We can fix this by adding in 1 to get {1,1,2,3,4,5,5} and now we have symmetry again. Think of it like having a weight scale. If you add a coin on one side, then you have to add the same weight to the other side to keep balance.
Since their isnt a table where I can put my answer I'll write them going down
6-2=4
9-2=7
4.5-2=2.5
7.5-2=5.5
