Answer:

<em>The speed of sound at 20°C is 343.42 m/s.</em>

<em>You have to wait 1.75 seconds to hear the sound of the bat hitting the ball</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Speed of Sound</u>

The speed of sound is not constant with temperature. Generally speaking, the greater the temperature, the greater the speed of sound.

The approximate speed of sound in dry air at temperatures T near 0°C is calculated from:

\displaystyle v_{\mathrm {s} }=(331.3+0.606\cdot T )~~~\mathrm {m/s}

The air is at T=20°C, thus the speed of sound is:

\displaystyle v_{\mathrm {s} }=(331.3+0.606\cdot 20 )~~~\mathrm {m/s}

v_{\mathrm {s} }=343.42\ m/s

The speed of sound at 20°C is 343.42 m/s.

To calculate the time to hear the sound after the batter hits the ball, we use the formula of constant speed motion:

\displaystyle v=\frac{d}{t}

Where d is the distance and t is the time. Solving for t:

\displaystyle t=\frac{d}{v}

Substituting the values v=343.42 m/s and d=600 m:

\displaystyle t=\frac{600}{343.42}

t = 1.75 s

You have to wait 1.75 seconds to hear the sound of the bat hitting the ball

Multiply: 4(−5 2/3) Enter your answer as a fraction in simplest form, like this: 42/53
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

The amount that came is \frac{-68}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

According to the question, it is mentioned that

Multiply 4 by -5\frac{2}{3}

First open the equation in a fraction it would be \frac{-17}{3}

Now multiplied the above fraction by a 4

That gives the result of \frac{-68}{3}

Hence, the amount that came is \frac{-68}{3}

We simply multiply the 4 with the given fraction

Thus the above represents the simplest form of the fraction

Newborn babies: A study conducted by the Center for Population Economics at the University of Chicago studied the birth weights
Fed [463]

Answer:

a) 615

b) 715

c) 344

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Question,

  • Given that,  A study conducted by the Center for Population Economics at the University of Chicago studied the birth weights of 732 babies born in New York. The mean weight was 3311 grams with a standard deviation of 860 grams

  • Since the distribution is approximately bell-shaped, we can use the normal distribution and calculate the Z scores for each scenario.

Z = (x - mean)/standard deviation

Now,

For x = 4171,  Z = (4171 - 3311)/860 = 1  

  • P(Z < 1) using Z table for areas for the standard normal distribution, you will get 0.8413.

Next, multiply that by the sample size of 732.

  • Therefore 732(0.8413) = 615.8316, so approximately 615 will weigh less than 4171  

 

  • For part b, use the same method except x is now 1591.    

Z = (1581 - 3311)/860 = -2    

  • P(Z > -2) , using the Z table is 1 - 0.0228 = 0.9772 . Now 732(0.9772) = 715.3104, so approximately 715 will weigh more than 1591.

 

  • For part c, we now need to get two Z scores, one for 3311 and another for 5031.

Z1 = (3311 - 3311)/860 = 0

Z2 = (5031 - 3311)/860= 2  

P(0 ≤ Z ≤ 2) = 0.9772 - 0.5000 = 0.4772

  approximately 47% fall between 0 and 1 standard deviation, so take 0.47 times 732 ⇒ 732×0.47 = 344.
