An airplane descends 1.6 miles to an elevation of 6.95 miles. Find the elevation of the plane before its

Mathematics

kolezko [41]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:    First, let's call the starting elevation of the plane: e

We can then write an equation representing this problem as:    

e−1.5mi=5.25mi

Now, add 1.5mi  to each side of the equation to solve for e

while keeping the equation balanced:

e−1.5mi + 1.5mi=5.25mi + 1.5mi

e−0=6.75mi

e=6.75mi

The plane's starting elevation was 6.75 miles

The phone company A Fee and Fee has a monthly cellular plan where a customer pays a flat monthly fee and then a certain amount o
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

y=0.2x+29

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

y is the total monthly of the A Fee and Fee plan.

x is the number of monthly minutes used.

  • If a customer uses 290 minutes, the monthly cost will be $87, we have the pair (290, 87)
  • If the customer uses 980 minutes, the monthly cost will be $225, this is the coordinate pair (980, 225).

We want to obtain an equation in the form: y=mx+b

First, let us determine the slope, m

Given points (290, 87) and (980, 225):

<u>Slope</u>

m=\dfrac{225-87}{980-290} =\dfrac{138}{690}=0.2

Next, we determine the y-intercept, b.

Substituting the pair (290, 87) and m=0.2 in y=mx+b, we obtain

87=0.2(290)+b

b=87-0.2(290)=29

Therefore, our equation in the form y=mx+b is:

y=0.2x+29

A set of four cards consists of two red cards and two black cards. The cards are shuffled thoroughly, and I am dealt two cards.
Delvig [45]
25% because if you have 4 cards which would equal 100% and you are dealt 2 you have a 25% chance of getting any of the 4. (25x4=100)
But, if you are talking about probability of color it would be 50% because if you have 2 red cards and the total deck is 4 cards, then that is already half of the deck. And if you have 2 black cards then that makes up the other half. but if you are talking individually like Red 1 and Red 2 and Black 1 and Black 2 separating them would create a 25% probability. So, x= 25% (infivudually) or 50% (by color)

Suppose that the first team member in a 3-person relay race must run 2 1/4 laps, the second team member must run 1 1/2 laps, and
Kisachek [45]

You need to add up all 3 mixed numbers to find the total laps.

2 + 1/4 + 1 + 1/2 + 3 + 5/8 =

(2 + 1 + 3) + (1/4 + 1/2 + 5/8) =

6 + (2/8 + 4/8 + 5/8) =

6 + (11/8) =

6 + (1 + 3/8) =

7 3/8 laps

The average score of this quiz is 24 points with a standard deviation of 1.5 points. What is the probability that someone scored
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

8.08 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us denote : X= score X follows a normal distribution with mean =24 and standard deviation =1.5

Step 2

The probability that someone scored 21.9 or less is :

\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{X} \leq 21.9)

=\mathrm{P}\left(\mathrm{Z} \leq \frac{21.9-24}{1.5}\right)

=\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{Z} \leq-1.4)

=0.0808

=8.08%

Answer : 8.08 %
