Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, let us find the respective speeds of Jasmine and Caroline and compare the two. All we have to do is divide #minutes by #miles to find the time spent per one mile.

Jasmine:

$\frac{42.5}{5} =\\\\$

$8.5$ minutes per mile

Caroline:

$\frac{26.4}{3} =\\$

$8.8$ minutes per mile

Since Caroline takes longer to run a mile than Jasmine, We now know that Jasmine ran at a faster pace:

$8.8-8.5=0.3$

B. Jasmine ran at a faster pace because she ran 0.3 minutes faster per mile.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you hae any questions :)

$x^2+5x-9\\\\a=1;\ b=5;\ c=-9\\\Delta=b^2-4ac\\\\\Delta=5^2-4\cdot1\cdot(-9)=25+36=61 > 0\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-b-\sqrt\Delta}{2a}\ and\ x_2=\dfrac{-b+\sqrt\Delta}{2a}\\\\\sqrt\Delta=\sqrt{61}\\\\x_1=\dfrac{-5-\sqrt{61}}{2\cdot1}=\dfrac{-5-\sqrt{61}}{2}\\\\x_2=\dfrac{-5+\sqrt{61}}{2\cdot1}=\dfrac{-5+\sqrt{61}}{2}\\\\x^2+5x-9=\left(x-\dfrac{-5-\sqrt{61}}{2}\right)\left(x-\dfrac{-5+\sqrt{61}}{2}\right)$

A test consists of 100 multiple choice questions, each with five possible answers, only one of which is correct. Find the mean a

TEA [102]

Answer: Mean = 20 and standard deviation = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represents the success of getting the correct answer.

Here, the total number of trials(n) = 100

The probability of getting the correct answer, p = 1/5

Thus, the mean of the number of correct answer,
