Linda left home and drove for 2 hours. She stopped for lunch then drove for another 3 hours at a rate that is 10 mph higher than

the rate before she had lunch. If the total distance Linda traveled is 250 miles, what was the rate before lunch

Answer:

44 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Before lunch :

Time taken = 2hrs ; at speed = x mph

After lunch :

Time taken = 3hrs ; at speed = x + 10 mph

Total distance covered = 250 miles :

Distance = speed * time

(2 * x) + (3 * (x + 10)) = 250

2x + 3x + 30 = 250

5x + 30 = 250

5x = 250 - 30

5x = 220

x = 220/ 5

x = 44 mph

Rate before lunch is 44mph

in the second half of the game, the Wildcats again scored 18 points. This time, however, we don't know how many total shots were
Kobotan [32]

Lets start with the chain of 3's:

18 = 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3          

But, we know that

3 + 3 = 2 + 2 + 2

Sol, let's replace 3 + 3 by 2 + 2 + 2 one by one.

Hence, the possible ways of combinations are listed below:

18 = 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 2                        (1)

18 = 3 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2                  (2)

Therefore, there are two combinations of 2- and 3- point shots that could total 18 points.

find an equation of the tangent line to the curve at the given point. y=sqrt(x) (1,1) Ive never been good with these equations a
Nady [450]
Equation of a tangent line of a curve is:
y- y0 = f´ (x0) (x - x0 ).   In this case: x0=1, y0=1
f´(x)=\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{x} }(Derivation)
f´(x0)=\frac{1}{2}
y - 1 = 1/2 ( x - 1 )
y - 1 = 1/2 x - 1/2
y = 1/2 x - 1/2 + 1
y =\frac{1}{2}x+ \frac{1}{2}

Express the first quantity as a percentage of the second. <br>1 h 3 min, 3 h 30min. ​
KatRina [158]

Answer:

30%

Step-by-step explanation:

first we require both quantities to have the same units

converting both to minutes

1 h 3 min = 60 + 3 = 63 min

3h 30 min = (3 × 60) + 30 = 180 + 30 = 210 min

then express as a fraction and multiply by 100% to express as a percentage

\frac{63}{210} × 100%

= 0.3 × 100%

= 30%

The time taken to deliver a pizza has a uniform probability distribution from 20 minutes to 60 minutes. What is the probability
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

(1) The probability that the time to deliver a pizza is at least 32 minutes is 0.70.

(2a) The percentage of results more than 45 is 79.67%.

(2b) The percentage of results less than 85 is 91.77%.

(2c) The percentage of results are between 75 and 90 is 15.58%.

(2d) The percentage of results outside the healthy range 20 to 100 is 2.64%.

Step-by-step explanation:

(1)

Let <em>Y</em> = the time taken to deliver a pizza.

The random variable <em>Y</em> follows a Uniform distribution, U (20, 60).

The probability distribution function of a Uniform distribution is:

f(x)=\left \{ {{\frac{1}{b-a};\ x\in [a, b] } \atop {0};\ otherwise} \right.

Compute the probability that the time to deliver a pizza is at least 32 minutes as follows:

P(Y\geq 32)=\int\limits^{60}_{32} {\frac{1}{b-a} } \, dx \\=\frac{1}{60-20} \int\limits^{60}_{32} {1 } \, dx\\=\frac{1}{40}\times[x]^{60}_{32}\\=\frac{1}{40}\times[60-32]\\=0.70

Thus, the probability that the time to deliver a pizza is at least 32 minutes is 0.70.

(2)

Let <em>X</em> = results of a certain blood test.

It is provided that the random variable <em>X</em> follows a Normal distribution with parameters \mu = 60 and s = 18.

The probabilities of a Normal distribution are computed by converting the raw scores to <em>z</em>-scores.

The <em>z</em>-scores follows a Standard normal distribution, N (0, 1).

(a)

Compute the probability that the results are more than 45 as follows:

P(X>45)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}> \frac{45-60}{18})=P(Z>-0.833)=P(Z

The percentage of results more than 45 is: 0.7967\times100=79.67\%

Thus, the percentage of results more than 45 is 79.67%.

(b)

Compute the probability that the results are less than 85 as follows:

P(X

The percentage of results less than 85 is: 0.9177\times100=91.77\%

Thus, the percentage of results less than 85 is 91.77%.

(c)

Compute the probability that the results are between 75 and 90 as follows:

P(75

The percentage of results are between 75 and 90 is: 0.1558\times100=15.58\%

Thus, the percentage of results are between 75 and 90 is 15.58%.

(d)

Compute the probability that the results are between 20 and 100 as follows:

P(20

Then the probability that the results outside the range 20 to 100 is: 1-0.9736=0.0264.

The percentage of results outside the range 20 to 100 is: 0.0264\times100=2.64\%

Thus, the percentage of results outside the healthy range 20 to 100 is 2.64%.
