Answer:

Time of driving of Maria = 1.8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be time drove by Carlos and b be the time drove by Maria.

Carlos and Maria drove a total of 233 miles in 4.4 hours.

Total time = 4.4 hours

           a + b = 4.4 ------------------eqn 1

Carlos drove the first part of the trip and averaged 55 miles per hour. Maria drove the remainder of the trip and averaged 50 miles per hour.    

    Speed of Carlos =   55 miles per hour

    Speed of Maria =   50 miles per hour      

Total distance = 233 miles

That is

              55 a + 50 b = 233----------------------eqn 2

eqn 1 x 50

              50 a + 50 b = 220---------------------------eqn 3

eqn 3 - eqn 2

             55 a + 50 b -    50 a - 50 b   = 233 - 220

                  5a = 13

                   a = 2.6

Substituting in eqn 1

                2.6 + b = 4.4

                          b = 1.8

Time of driving of Maria = 1.8 hours

Let x - hours Carlos drove ; Let y - hours Maria drove

Equation 1: x + y = 4.4
x = 4.4 - y

Equation 2: 55x + 50y = 233
55(4.4 - y) + 50y = 233
242 - 55y + 50y = 233
-5y = 233-242
-5y = -9
y=9/5 or 1.8 hours Maria drove

To find time Carlos drove:
x=4.4 - 1.8
x = 2.6 hours

diamong [38]

Answer:

Scalene triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

A scalene triangle is a triangle with three different side lengths and angle measures. Since none of the side lengths are the same length, then none of the angle measures are the same either leading the correct answer to be scalene.

Find 1722 divided by 6 then estimate to check if your answer is reasonable
Whitepunk [10]
When you divide 1722 by 6 you get 287 so it's not a repeating number so if you estimate 287 to 290 then you get 1740 so your answer is 287.

A simple random sample of n measurements from a population is a subset of the population selected in a manner such that which of
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

a) sample of size n from the population has an equal chance of being selected.

b) Every member of the population has an equal chance of being included in the sample.                                            

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple random sampling:

  • It is a type of probabilistic sampling.
  • It is an unbiased representation of population.
  • The probability of selection is equal for every observation.
  • A sample is taken in such a way that each member has an equal probability of being selected.
  • A simple random sample is a subset of a statistical population in which each member of the subset has an equal probability of being chosen.
  • Thus,the correct interpretation is given by,

a) sample of size n from the population has an equal chance of being selected.

b) Every member of the population has an equal chance of being included in the sample.

  • c) The simplest method of selection is used to create a representative sample.

The statement is false.

There is no pattern or technique used for selection. The selection is purely random.

  • d) Each subset of the population has an equal chance of being included in the sample.

The statement is false.

Each object of the population has an equal chance of being included in the sample. and not each subset.

  • e) Every sample of size n from the population has a proportionally weighted chance of being selected.

The given statement is false.
