Answer:

Each ice cream seller wants the maximum number of customers:

True

The two ice cream stands will most likely be 1/3 mile away from each other.

True

Step-by-step explanation:

This distance enables the two ice cream stands to give access to the maximum number of customers at the beach, which will be almost equal at their right-hand and left-hand sides.  Therefore, the two ice cream stands will most likely be 1/3 mile away from each other.  Such positioning exposes the ice cream stands to almost equal number of customers since the people standing along the beach are uniformly located.  Taking the extreme locations along the 1-mile-long beach will shrink location opportunities for both stands.

A rock is dropped from a height of 100 feet. Calculate the time between when the rock was dropped and when it landed. If we choo
andre [41]

The time it takes between when the rock was dropped and when it landed is 1.33 seconds.

<h3>What is the time it takes for the rock to land?</h3>

The time it takes the rock to land on the ground from where it is dropped can be determined by using the function given.

The height of the function when it hits the ground will be zero, so the function can be written as:

\mathbf{h(t) =36t^2 -64}

\mathbf{0 =36t^2 -64}

64 = 36t²

\mathbf{t^2 = \dfrac{64}{36}}

t² =1.778

t = \sqrt{1.778}

t = 1.333 seconds

A police officer wants to know the proportion of crimes that are burglaries within the last five years. She randomly selects 40
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

a. Yes

See explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that if the question is if we can use the normal approximation for the true proportion.

For this case we have n = 40 and p = 0.3 (probability of success)

We need to check some conditions:

1) Random sample : This condition is satisfied since the problem says that she randomly select 40 records

2) n \hat p = 40*0.3 =12 \geq 10

n(1-\hat p)= 30 *(1-0.3) = 28 \geq 10)

3) 10% condition: the random sample is assumed to be less than 10% of the original population size (assumed)

The population proportion have the following distribution  

p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}})  

So then as we can see the normal approximation for this case makes sense since we have all the 3 conditions satisfied so then the answer would be:

a. Yes

Find an equation for y in terms of x
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

y = \frac{9}{x^2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given y is inversely proportional to x² then the equation relating them is

y = \frac{k}{x^2} ← k is the constant of proportion

To find k use an ordered pair from the table

Using x = 3 when y = 1 , then

1 = \frac{k}{3^2} = \frac{k}{9} ( multiply both sides by 9 )

9 = k

y = \frac{9}{x^2} ← equation of proportion

Math help? Easy but I can't get it! :(
Vladimir79 [104]
Ok, so, the question states that the distance driven is proportional to the time driven in hours. So, the x value would be hours driven, while the y-value would be the number of miles driven. So, in order to find the speed at which she is driving, you will want to divide the number of miles by the number of hours driving, or 180/3, You answer should be 60, or 60 mph is her speed.
