Darren wanted to see how contagious yawning can be. To better understand this, he conducted a social experiment in which he yawn

ed in front of a large, random crowd and observed how many people yawned as a result. The relationship between the elapsed time ttt, in minutes, since Darren yawned, and the number of people in the crowd, P(t)P(t)P, left parenthesis, t, right parenthesis, who yawned as a result is modeled by the following function: P(t)=5⋅4t10.5

Answer:

10.5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Thinking about the problem

The modeling function is of the form P(t)=A⋅Bf(t), where B=4B=4B, equals, 4 and f(t)=\dfrac{t}{10.5}f(t)=

10.5

t

​

f, left parenthesis, t, right parenthesis, equals, start fraction, t, divided by, 10, point, 5, end fraction.

Note that each time f(t)f(t)f, left parenthesis, t, right parenthesis increases by 111, the quantity is multiplied by B=4B=4B, equals, 4.

Therefore, we need to find the ttt-interval over which f(t)f(t)f, left parenthesis, t, right parenthesis increases by 111.

Hint #22 / 3

Finding the appropriate unit interval

fff is a linear function whose slope is \dfrac{1}{10.5}

10.5

1

​

start fraction, 1, divided by, 10, point, 5, end fraction.

This means that whenever ttt increases by \Delta tΔtdelta, t, f(t)f(t)f, left parenthesis, t, right parenthesis increases by \dfrac{\Delta t}{10.5}

10.5

Δt

​

start fraction, delta, t, divided by, 10, point, 5, end fraction.

Therefore, for f(t)f(t)f, left parenthesis, t, right parenthesis to increase by 111, we need \Delta t=10.5Δt=10.5delta, t, equals, 10, point, 5. In other words, the ttt-interval we are looking for is 10.510.510, point, 5 minutes.

Hint #33 / 3

Summary

The number of people who yawned quadruples every 10.510.510, point, 5 minutes.

A national publication showed the following distribution of favorite class subjects for high school students.
matrenka [14]

Answer:

1 and 111 only

Step-by-step explanation:

The goodness of fit test is used to examine if there is significant evidence to say thatvthe observed and expected freqencies are from the desired distribution.

Condituis required for performing a goodness of fit test on a data include :

Randomness, sampled Data must have been chosen at random in other to be representative, here, randomness isn't exhibited as Pasquale used more of convenient sampling questioning the first 40 students.

Also, the expected value of the number of sample observation in each level of the variable should be atleast 5.

This is also violated, as the expected values for some of the levels are less than 5

Hence, conditions 1 and 111 are not met

1<br> If ZA and ZB are complementary angles and mA = 60°, then m B =?
yarga [219]

Answer:

30 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the angles are complementary, they MUST equal to 90 degrees

Because measure of Angle A = 60, then the measure of Angle B = 30, because 60 + 30 = 90 degrees
