Answer:

8.4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Total time taken = 78 minutes = 78/60 = 1.3 hours

To Speed = 14 mph

Fro Speed = 12 mph

Let the distance be represented as, d

Distance = speed * time

Time = distance / speed

To time + Fro time = 1.3 hours

d / 14 + d / 12 = 1.3 hours

Take lcm of 14 and 12 ; = 84

(6d + 7d) / 84 = 1.3

13d /84 = 1.3

13d = 1.3 * 84

13d = 109.2

d = 109.2 / 13

d = 8.4 miles

The distance is 8.4 miles

The mean rent of a 3-bedroom apartment in Orlando is $1300. You randomly select 10 apartments around town. The rents are normall
lana [24]

Answer:

96.49% probability that the mean rent is more than $1100

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 1300, \sigma = 350, n = 10, s = \frac{350}{\sqrt{10}} = 110.68

What is the probability that the mean rent is more than $1100?

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 1100. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

By the Central Limit Theorem

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}

Z = \frac{1100 - 1300}{110.68}

Z = -1.81

Z = -1.81 has a pvalue of 0.0351

1 - 0.0351 = 0.9649

96.49% probability that the mean rent is more than $1100

The volume of a sphere is 288pi cm^3<br>What is the radius of the sphere?​
Otrada [13]

Answer:

radius = 6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume (V) of a sphere is calculated as

V = \frac{4}{3} πr³ ← r is the radius

Given V = 288π, then

\frac{4}{3} πr³ = 288π

Multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction

4πr³ = 864π ( divide both sides by 4π )

r³ = 216 ( take the cube root of both sides )

r = \sqrt[3]{216} = 6

Thus the radius of the sphere is 6 cm
