Answer:

16/14= 8/7 = lauren/ cara

8x+7x= 1200

15x= 1200

x= 1200/15

x=80

lauren= 8x= 8(80)= 640

cara= 7x= 7(80)= 560

Which two of the following is continuous data?
Alla [95]

Answer:

B. Age of student

D. Time taken to run 1 mile

Step-by-step explanation:

From the list of given options, only B and D satisfy the required condition.

One unique determinant of continuous data is that; they are measured and not counted.

Now, let's categorize option A to D into two

1. Counted data

2. Measured data

Options that fall into the category of measured data are said to be continuous data.

A. Concert attendance; The number of people in a concert is counted

B. The age of a student is measured (in years)

C. Number of pens in a box is counted

D. Time taken to run 1 mile is measured (in units like seconds, minutes, hours, etc...)

In summary; we have

Counted

A. Concert Attendance

C. Number of pens in a box

Measured

B. Age of a student

D. Time taken to run 1 mile

Hence, the continuous data are Age of a student and Time taken to run 1 mile

Please solve this...I can;t do it do it
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

Area = 867 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

You have a rectangle. This means opposite sides are equal. If you set these expressions equal to each other, you will get two equations with two unknowns, x and y. Next, solve the system of equations to find x and y. Then, use the values to find the length and width of the rectangle. Last, multiply length × width to find the area.

In a process that manufactures bearings, 90% of the bearings meet a thickness specification. A shipment contains 500 bearings. A
vredina [299]

Answer:

c) P(270≤x≤280)=0.572

d) P(x=280)=0.091

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of bearings have a proportion p=0.90 of satisfactory thickness.

The shipments will be treated as random samples, of size n=500, taken out of the population of bearings.

As the sample size is big, we will model the amount of satisfactory bearings per shipment as a normally distributed variable (if the sample was small, a binomial distirbution would be more precise and appropiate).

The mean of this distribution will be:

\mu_s=np=500*0.90=450

The standard deviation will be:

\sigma_s=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{500*0.90*0.10}=\sqrt{45}=6.7

We can calculate the probability that a shipment is acceptable (at least 440 bearings meet the specification) calculating the z-score for X=440 and then the probability of this z-score:

z=(x-\mu_s)/\sigma_s=(440-450)/6.7=-10/6.7=-1.49\\\\P(z>-1.49)=0.932

Now, we have to create a new sampling distribution for the shipments. The size is n=300 and p=0.932.

The mean of this sampling distribution is:

\mu=np=300*0.932=279.6

The standard deviation will be:

\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{300*0.932*0.068}=\sqrt{19}=4.36

c) The probability that between 270 and 280 out of 300 shipments are acceptable can be calculated with the z-score and using the continuity factor, as this is modeled as a continuos variable:

P(270\leq x\leq280)=P(269.5

d) The probability that 280 out of 300 shipments are acceptable can be calculated using again the continuity factor correction:

P(X=280)=P(279.5
