Becca and Kimberly are running at a constant speed in a marathon. Becca runs at 4.5 miles per hour. Kimberly’s progress is shown

Georgia [21]

Answer:

Part A: Kimberly

Part B:

Becca = 22.5 miles, Kimberly = 25 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

Given that Becca runs at a constant speed of 4.5 miles per hour, use the table to find the constant speed that Kimberly runs, and compare who runs faster.

Let x = time

y = distance

k = speed = y/x

Equation for each person can be written as: y = kx

Therefore:

✔️Equation for Becca if k = 4.5

y = 4.5x

✔️Find k (speed) of Kimberly using (2, 10):

Speed (k) = y/x

k = 10/2

k = 5 miles per hour

Equation for Kimberly would be:

y = 5x

Comparing their speed, Kimberly runs faster because she covers more miles per hour than Becca does.

Part B:

For Becca, substitute x = 5 into Becca's equation, y = 4.5x

Thus:

y = 4.5*5 = 22.5 miles

For Kimberly, substitute x = 5 into Kimberly's equation, y = 5x

Thus:

y = 5*5 = 25 miles

When the population mean and standard deviation are known, what distribution is used for the analysis of the sample?.

Kitty [74]

When the population mean and standard deviation are known, you use the standard normal distribution

<h3>How to determine the distribution?</h3>

There are several probability distributions; these include

Normal distribution
Poisson distribution
Chi square distribution
Binomial distribution
Etc

Of all these distribution, only the standard normal distribution can be used when the population mean and standard deviation are known,

Note that it is also referred to as the z-distribution

Douglas invests money in two simple interest accounts. He invests three times as much in an account paying 14% as he does in an

Rainbow [258]

Douglas invested $ 1300 altogether

Solution:

Let x represent the amount invested in the account paying 14% interest.

Let y represent the amount invested in the account paying 5% interest

He invests three times as much in an account paying 14% as he does in an account paying 5%

Which means,

x = 3y

The simple interest is given by formula:

$S.I = \frac{p \times n \times r}{100}$

Where,

"p" is the principal

"n" is the number of years

"r" is the rate of interest

He earns $152.75 in interest in one year from both accounts combined

Therefore,

Combined S.I = 152.75

n = 1 year

Considering the account earning 14% interest:

$S.I = \frac{3y \times 14 \times 1}{100}\\\\S.I = 0.42y$

Considering the account earning 5% interest:

$S.I = \frac{y \times 5 \times 1}{100}\\\\S.I = 0.05y$

Since, Combined S.I = 152.75

Therefore,

0.42y + 0.05y = 152.75

0.47y = 152.75

Divide both sides by 0.47

y = 325

Therefore,

x = 3y

x = 3(325)

x = 975

how much did he invest altogether?

Amount invested together = x + y = 975 + 325 = 1300

Thus he invested $ 1300 altogether
