Use the Empirical Rule. The mean speed of a sample of vehicles along a stretch of highway is miles per​ hour, with a standard de

viation of miles per hour. Estimate the percent of vehicles whose speeds are between miles per hour and miles per hour.​ (Assume the data set has a​ bell-shaped distribution.)
Approximately % of vehicles travel between 61 miles per hour and 71 miles per hour.

Answer:

68%

Step-by-step explanation:

We observe that the mean of the sample is (61+71)/2 = 66 mph which means the standard deviation of the sample is 5 because 66-5=61 and 66+5=71. The Empirical Rule states that for data observed in a normal distribution, 68% of data will fall within one standard deviation of the mean. Therefore, approximately 68% of vehicles travel between 61 miles per hour and 71 miles per hour.

A theater has 56 rows of seats. If there are 13 seats in the first row, 18 in the 2nd row, 23 in the 3rd row. How many seats are
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

8428

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

  • Given, A theater has 56 rows of seats. If there are 13 seats in the first row, 18 in the 2nd row, 23 in the 3rd row.

We have a number sequence  13, 18, 23, ...

  • We can say that this is an arithmetic sequence because of the common difference 'd', is equal to 5, and the first term 'a1' is equal to 13.
  • The formula for the sum of an arithmetic sequence with n terms is given is S_n= \frac{n}{2} [2a_1+(n-1)d]S .

Substitute the given values into the equation to solve for the sum of the 56 rows of seats.

S_56= \frac{56}{2}[2(13)+(56-1)(5)]\\S_{56}=28\left[26+275\right]\\S_{56}=28\left[301\right]\\S_{56}=8428

Therefore, there are 8428 seats in all.

Consider the equations y = √x and y = x^2 - 1
lord [1]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

(x, y) ≈ (1.49021612010, 1.22074408461)

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

This is best solved graphically or by some other machine method. The approximate solution (x=1.49, y=1.221) can be iterated by any of several approaches to refine the values to the ones given above. The values above were obtained using Newton's method iteration.

_____

Setting the y-values equal and squaring both sides of the equation gives ...

... √x = x² -1

... x = (x² -1)² = x⁴ -2x² +1 . . . . . square both sides

... x⁴ -2x² -x +1 = 0 . . . . . polynomial equation in standard form.

By Descarte's rule of signs, we know there are two positive real roots to this equation. From the graph, we know the other two roots are complex. The second positive real root is extraneous, corresponding to the negative branch of the square root function.
