Answer:

880 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

First! We have to establish how many feet the car travels per hour.

60 (number of miles per hour) x 5280 (number of feet in a mile) = 316,800 (number of feet in an hour)

Next, since we know that there are 60 minutes in an hour we are going to divide our "number of feet in an hour" by 60 to get the "number of feet in a minute"

316,800 ÷ 60 = 5280

Once again, we are going to divide our "number of feet in a minute" by 60 to get the "number of feet per second".

5280 ÷ 60 = 88

Finally! We will multiple our "number of feet per second" by 10 to get how many feet the car can travel in 10 seconds.

88 × 10 = 880

So! Our car can travel 880 feet in 10 seconds.

Hope this Helps! :)

An article estimates, with 90% confidence, that the proportion of elementary school teachers who are female is 82%. The article

GREYUIT [131]

Answer: (80% , 85%)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that, confidence interval for population proportion is given by :-

(p-E , p+E)

, where p = sample proportion , E = Margin of error.

Given : Proportion of elementary school teachers who are female = 82%.

The article also states the maximum error of their estimate = 3%.

Then, the 90% confidence interval for the proportion of elementary school teachers who are female will be :

(82%-2% , 82%+3%)

= (80% , 85%)

Hence, the resulting 90% confidence interval for the proportion of elementary school teachers who are female = (80% , 85%)

Choose all the functions that give the sequence:

TEA [102]

Hence, the functions that produce given sequence are:

f(n) = 2n + 1

f(n) = 2(n − 1) + 3

Further explanation:

We will put n=1,2,3,4,5 to find which functions give the given sequence

f(n) = 2n − 1

Putting values of n

$f(1)=2(1)-1=2-1=1\\f(2)=2(2)-1=4-1=3\\f(3)=2(3)-1=6-1=5$

This function doesn't generate the given sequence

f(n) = 2n + 1

Putting values of n

$f(1)=2(1)+1=2+1=3\\f(2)=2(2)+1=4+1=5\\f(3)=2(3)+1=6+1=7\\f(4)=2(4)+1=8+1=9\\f(5)=2(5)+1=10+1=11$

This function generates the given sequence.

f(n) = 2(n − 1) − 3

Putting values of n

$f(1) = 2(1 -1) -3=2(0)-3=0-3=-3\\f(2) = 2(2 -1) -3=2(1)-3=2-3=-1\\f(3) = 2(3-1) -3=2(2)-3=4-3=1$

This function doesn't generate the given sequence

f(n) = 2(n − 1) + 3

Putting values of n

$f(1) = 2(1 - 1) + 3=2(0)+3=0+3=3\\f(2) = 2(2 - 1) + 3=2(1)+3=2+3=5\\f(3) = 2(3 - 1) + 3=2(2)+3=4+3=7\\f(4) = 2(4 - 1) + 3=2(3)+3=6+3=9$

Hence, the functions that produce given sequence are:

f(n) = 2n + 1

f(n) = 2(n − 1) + 3
