Answer:

11 miles an hour

Step-by-step explanation:

44 miles divided by 4 hours would equal 11 miles in one hour, meaning her average speed would be 11 miles an hour

Answer:

The average speed is 11

Step-by-step explanation:

You would have 44 on top and 4 on the bottom(44/4)

then you would divide the 4 by four and the 44 by four to get 11 miles an hour.

1.)Find the height of a rectangular prism if the surface area is 148 cm2, the width is 4 cm and the length is 5 cm.

Contact [7]

1) surface of a rectangular prism=2(length x width)+2(length x height)+2(width x height)

Therefore:
148 cm²=2(5 cm x 4 cm)+2(5 cm x h)+2(4 cm x h)=
148 cm²=40 cm²+10 cm h+8 cm h
18 cm h=148 cm²-40 cm²
18 cm h=108 cm²
h=108 cm² / 18 cm=6 cm.

answer: height=6 cm

2)
Volume of a rectangular prism= length x width x height
therefore:
34 cm³=(1.7 cm)(0.5 cm) h
0.85 cm² h=34 cm³
h=34 cm³/0.85 cm²
h=40 cm.

answer: height=40 cm

3)
volume of a cylinder: πr²h
therefore.
118.79 ft³=πr²(5 ft)
r=√(118.79 ft³/5π ft)≈2.75 ft

answer: radius=2.75 ft

4)

Surface area of the pyramid with square base=4(A side)+A base
A side=(1/2)(8ft)(12 ft)=48 ft²
A base=(8 ft)(8 ft)=64 ft²

surface area=4(48 ft²)+64 ft²=256 ft²

Answer: the surface area of this pyramid would be 256 ft².

5)
surface of a cone=πrs+πr²
therefore:
radius=diameter/2=6.2 ft/2=3.1 ft
63.3 ft²=π(3.1 ft) s+π(3.1 ft)²
3.1π ft s=33.109 ft²
s=33.109 ft² /3.1π ft
s≈3.4 ft

Answer: the slant height would be 3.4 ft.

6)
volume of a square pyramid=(area of base x heigth)/3
therefore:
area of base=(6 ft)(6 ft)=36 ft²
126.97 ft³=36 ft² h /3
h=126.97 ft³/12 ft²=10.58 ft

answer: the height would be 10.58 ft.

7)
volume of a cone =(base x height)/3
base of a cone=πr²
therefore:
199.23 cm³=πr²(9 cm)/3
r=√(199.23 cm³ / 3π cm)≈4.6 cm

answer: the radius would be 4.6 cm.

There are 20 mice in a 5 m2 field ecosystem. The population density of mice is _____.

Alex17521 [72]

The formula for density = number/ area
In this case number=20
area = 5m^2

Density = 20/5=4 mice per m^2
The right answer is <span>A. 4 per m2</span>

A restaurant chain has two locations in a medium-sized town and, believing that it has oversaturated the market for its food, is

scoray [572]

Answer:

Yes, since the test statistic value is greater than the critical value.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

$\bar X_{1}=360000$ represent the mean for the downtown restaurant

$\bar X_{2}=340000$ represent the mean for the freeway restaurant

$s_{1}=50000$ represent the sample standard deviation for downtown

$s_{2}=40000$ represent the sample standard deviation for the freeway

$n_{1}=36$ sample size for the downtown restaurant

$n_{2}=36$ sample size for the freeway restaurant

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$\alpha=0.05$ significance level provided

Develop the null and alternative hypotheses for this study?

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the true mean of revenue for downtown is higher than for freeway restaurant, the system of hypothesis would be:

Null hypothesis: $\mu_{1}\leq \mu_{2}$

Alternative hypothesis: $\mu_{1} > \mu_{2}$

Since we don't know the population deviations for each group, for this case is better apply a t test to compare means, and the statistic is given by:

$t=\frac{\bar X_{1}-\bar X_{2}}{\sqrt{\frac{s^2_{1}}{n_{1}}+\frac{s^2_{2}}{n_{2}}}}$ (1)

t-test: Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine whether the means of two groups are equal to each other.

Determine the critical value.

Based on the significance level $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2=0.025$ we can find the critical values from the t distribution dith degrees of freedom df=36+36-2=55+88-2=70, we are looking for values that accumulates 0.025 of the area on the right tail on the t distribution.

For this case the value is $t_{1-\alpha/2}=1.66$

Calculate the value of the test statistic for this hypothesis testing.

Since we have all the values we can replace in formula (1) like this:

$t=\frac{360000-340000}{\sqrt{\frac{50000^2}{36}+\frac{40000^2}{36}}}}=1.874$

What is the p-value for this hypothesis test?

Since is a right tailed test the p value would be:

$p_v =P(t_{70}>1.874)=0.033$

Based on the p-value, what is your conclusion?

Comparing the p value with the significance level given $\alpha=0.05$ we see that $p_v$ so we can conclude that we reject the null hypothesis, and the true mean for the downtown revenue restaurant seems higher than the true mean revenue for the freeway restaurant.
