Answer:

The speed of the first train is 45 mph and the speed of the second train is 75 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the speed of the first train in mph. Since the second train, is 30 mph faster then the first, therefore the speed of the second train is (x + 30).

The first train leaves at 1:00 pm, therefore at 6:00 pm, the time taken is 5 hours. Therefore the distance covered by the first train at 6:00 pm = x mph * 5 hours = 5x miles

The second train leaves at 3:00 pm, therefore at 6:00 pm, the time taken is 3 hours. Therefore the distance covered by the second train at 6:00 pm = (x + 30) mph * 3 hours = (3x + 90) miles

Since the second train overtakes the first at 6:00 pm, hence:

3x + 90 = 5x

2x = 90

x = 45

Therefore the speed of the first train is 45 mph and the speed of the second train is 75 mph (45 mph + 30 mph).

In 2013, the population of China was estimated to be 1,360,760,100. Round off the number of people 
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

a) 1,360,760,000

b) 1,361,000,000

c) 1,400,000,000

d)  1,360,800,000

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to round off the given population number to certain digits.

The following are the rules to round of a number:

  1. First identify the digit to be rounded.
  2. If this digit is followed by 5,6,7,8,9 then we round up the number that is increase the digit by 1 and all the numbers to right becomes zero.
  3. If this digit is followed by 0,1,2,3,4 then we round down the number that is decrease the digit by 1 and all the numbers to right becomes zero.

a)  to the nearest thousand.

Thousands place: 0

Right Digit: 1

We round down the number

Rounded to the nearest 1,000 or t he thousands Place =  1,360,760,000

b)  to the nearest million

Millions place: 0

Right Digit: 7

We round up the number

Rounded to the nearest million places = 1,361,000,000

c)  to nearest hundred million

Hundred million place: 3

Right Digit: 6

We round up the number

Rounded to the nearest million places = 1,400,000,000

d)  to the nearest hundred thousand.

hundred thousand place: 7

Right Digit: 6

We round up the number

Rounded to the nearest million places = 1,360,800,000

Matt plans to put concrete on a rectangular portion of his driveway. The portion is 8 feet long and 4 inches high. The price of
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

length = 8ft
height = 4 in
width = w ft --> u looking for this

convert in to ft for the height:

4 in (1 ft / 12 in) = 1/3 ft

You know that:
1 cubic yard = $ 98
? cubic yard = $58.07

Solve for ? cubic yard:
? cubic yard = 58.07/98 = 0.592551

convert this in cubic feet:
1 yard = 3 feet
0.59255 cubic yard (27 cubic ft/1 cubic yard) = 15.99887755 cubic ft

Now solve for the width:
length x width x height = ? cubic ft.
width = ? cubic ft / (length x height) =15.99887755 cubic ft/[(8ft)(1/3 ft )] = 5.999579082 ft

approx 6 ft

Since an instant replay system for tennis was introduced at a major​ tournament, men challenged 1406 referee​ calls, with the re
erastova [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a test of 2 population proportions. Let 1 and 2 be the subscript for men and women players. The population proportions of men and women challenges for calls would be p1 and p2

P1 - P2 = difference in the proportion of men and women challenges for calls.

The null hypothesis is

H0 : p1 = p2

p1 - p2 = 0

The alternative hypothesis is

Ha : p1 ≠ p2

p1 - p2 ≠ 0

it is a two tailed test

Sample proportion = x/n

Where

x represents number of success(number of complaints)

n represents number of samples

For old dough

x1 = 416

n1 = 1406

P1 = 416/1406 = 0.3

For new dough,

x2 = 217

n2 = 778

P2 = 217/778 = 0.28

The pooled proportion, pc is

pc = (x1 + x2)/(n1 + n2)

pc = (416 + 217)/(1406 + 778) = 0.29

1 - pc = 1 - 0.29 = 0.71

z = (P1 - P2)/√pc(1 - pc)(1/n1 + 1/n2)

z = (0.3 - 0.28)/√(0.29)(0.71)(1/1406 + 1/778) = 0.02/√0.00553857907

z = 0.99

Since it is a two tailed test, the curve is symmetrical. We will look at the area in both tails. Since it is showing in one tail only, we would double the area

From the normal distribution table, the area below the test z score to the left of 0.99 is 1 - 0.84 = 0.16

We would double this area to include the area in the left tail of z = - 0.99 Thus

p = 0.16 × 2 = 0.32

Since 0.1 < 0.5, we would accept the null hypothesis.

p value = 0.337

Since 0.05 < 0.32, we would accept the null hypothesis
