jada walks up to a tank of water that can hold up to 10 gallons. When it is active, a drain empties water from the tank at a con

stant rate. When Jada first sees the tank, it contains 5 gallons of water. Six minutes later, the tank contains 3 gallons of water

A) Calculate an estimate for the mean height of the students. 129.3 cm

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

(a) Y = 129.3x (b) It is an estimate as it may not be a true reflection of a student's height

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Estimate of the mean height is the sum of the heights of all the students divided by the total number of students.

The question however needs more information for its estimation as 129.3cm is representative and may be the mean height but it was not stated.

However, assuming it is the mean height,

Let the total number of students be x

while Y is the sum of all individual student heights

Mathematically, mean = Y/x

Therefore 129.3 = Y/ x

implying that Y = 129.3x

(b) It is an estimate because computation of the mean gives an average which may not be an exact value. For example, the mean here is 129.3 whereas there will be many heights greater than that and some lesser than that and obviously, there may be no student with height of 129.3 hence it is an estimate.

Graph the line for <br> y+1=−3/5(x−4)<br> on the coordinate plane.

Naddika [18.5K]

Please enclose that -3/5 in parentheses: <span>y+1= (−3/5)(x−4)
</span>
Let's use the intercept method to graph this line.
First, set x = 0 and find y; this y will be the y-coordinate of the vertical intercept:

y+1= (−3/5)(0−4) => y = -1 + 12/5 = -5/5 + 12/5 = 7/5. Plot (0, 7/5).

Next, set y = 0 and find x; this will give us the coordinate of the horiz. int.:

0+1= (−3/5)(x−4) => -5/3 = x - 4, or x = 4- 5/3, or x = 7/3. Plot (7/3, 0).

Now draw a straight line thru these two points.

. Let X and Y be random variables of possible percent returns (0%, 10%,

bazaltina [42]

(a) The marginal distribution of <em>X</em> is

Pr(<em>X</em> = <em>x</em>) = ∑ Pr(<em>X</em> = <em>x</em>, <em>Y</em> = <em>y</em>)

… = 0.0625 + 0.0625 + 0.0625 + 0.0625

… = 0.25

That is, the first equality follows from the law of total probability, with the sum taken over <em>y</em> from {0, 5, 10, 15}. Each probability Pr(<em>X</em> = <em>x</em>, <em>Y</em> = <em>y</em>) is given in the table to be 0.0625.

Similarly, the marginal distribution of <em>Y</em> is

Pr(<em>Y</em> = <em>y</em>) = 0.25

(b) Yes, they're independent because

Pr(<em>X</em> = <em>x</em>, <em>Y</em> = <em>y</em>) = 0.0625,

and

Pr(<em>X</em> = <em>x</em>) Pr(<em>Y</em> = <em>y</em>) = 0.25 • 0.25 = 0.0625.

(c) The mean of <em>X</em> is

E[<em>X</em>] = ∑ <em>x</em> Pr(<em>X</em> = <em>x</em>)

… = 0.25 ∑ <em>x</em>

<em>… </em>= 0.25 (0 + 5 + 10 + 15)

… = 7.5

and you would find the same mean for <em>Y</em>,

E[<em>Y</em>] = 7.5

The variance of <em>X</em> is

V[<em>X</em>] = E[<em>X</em>^2] - E[<em>X</em>]^2

… = (∑ <em>x</em>^2 Pr(<em>X</em> = <em>x</em>)) - 7.5^2

… = 0.25 (∑ <em>x</em>^2) - 56.25

… = 0.25 (0^2 + 5^2 + 10^2 + 15^2) - 56.25

… = 31.25

and similarly,

V[<em>Y</em>] = 31.25

(each sum is taken with <em>x</em> and <em>y</em> from {0, 5, 10, 15})

The measurement of the complement of an angle exceeds the measure of the angle by 25%. Find the measurement of the angle and its

tester [92]

Let the angles be A and C

<span>Complimentary angles, therefor </span>
<span>A + C = 90 </span>

<span>The measurement of the complement of an angle exceeds the measure of the angle by 25% (you used a % sign so I'll use % instead of degrees) </span>
<span>C = 1.25A </span>

<span>Substitute </span>
<span>A + 1.25A = 90 </span>
<span>2.25A = 90 </span>
<span>A = 40º <----- </span>
<span>C = 50º <----- </span>
<span>------------------------------ </span>

<span>If you meant 25º </span>
<span>A + (A + 25) = 90 </span>
<span>2A + 25 = 90 </span>
<span>2A = 65 </span>
<span>A = 32.5º </span>
<span>C = 57.5º</span>

In which situation is the distance traveled proportional to time? A car moving in stop-and-go traffic A person biking on a trail

Sindrei [870]

For this case, what you must do is to see in which scenario the speed of keeping constant during a certain time.
"A person biking on a trail at 1212 miles per hour for 2020 minutes"
We observe that the distance in this case is proportional to the time and the constant of proportionality is the speed.
In other words:
d = v * t
Answer:
the distance traveled is proportional to time in:
"A person biking on a trail at 1212 miles per hour for 2020 minutes"
