Answer: Marcus's walking speed is 4 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent Marcus's walking speed.

His speed on the bicycle is 6 mi/h faster than his walking speed. This means that his speed on the bicycle would be

x + 6

Time = distance/speed

Time spent by Marcus in walking 1 mile to the library is

1/x

Time spent by Marcus in bicycling 2.5 miles to the sporting good store is

2.5/(x + 6)

Since the time that he spends in walking to the library is about the same time that he spends in bicycling to the sporting good store, then

1/x = 2.5/(x + 6)

Cross multiplying, it becomes

1 × (x + 6) = 2.5 × x

x + 6 = 2.5x

2.5x - x = 6

1.5x = 6

x = 6/1.5 = 4

Angle Sum Theorem. y = ?
salantis [7]

Answer:

90°

Step-by-step explanation:

Interior angles of ALL triangles sum to 180°

The whole large triangle has angles 60 60 60   ( they sum to 180)

that means x = 30

then the small triangle on the right has     60 + 30 + y = 180

  meaning y = 90 °

lianna [129]

5 inches = 5/12 = 0.4166 feet

23 x 18 x 0.4166 = 172.5 cubic feet

172.5 x 0.037037 = 6.39 round up to 6.5 cubic yards

All our answers lie in the above statement.

Confidence Level:
The creator claims that 9 out 10 students will have the average score in the said range. Or in other words we can say that the creator is 90% confident about the result of the field test. So the confidence level is 90%. 

Margin of Error:
The average score lies within 4% of 70%. This means the margin of error is 4% i.e. the average scores can deviate from 70% by 4% .

Confidence Interval:
Lower Limit = 70% - 4% = 66%
Upper Limit = 70% + 4% = 74%

Interpretation:
The exam creator is 90% confident that the average scores of seniors will be between 66% and 74%.
