Answer:

5.14 mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the average speed, we simply find the total distance traveled by Tom and divide that by the total time the entire journey took him.

Average speed = (total distance traveled) / (total time taken)

TOTAL DISTANCE TRAVELED

He traveled 3 miles to and 3 miles fro. Hence:

3 + 3 = 6 miles

TOTAL TIME TAKEN

He spent ½ hr to go and ⅔ hr to return back. Hence:

½ + ⅔ = 7/6 hr

Therefore, the average speed is:

v = 6 / (7/6)

v = 36 / 7 = 5.14 mi/h

Tom's average speed was 5.14 mi/h.

In a recent survey 75 of the community favored building a police substation in their neighborlhood. If 20 citizens are chosen. W
Anton [14]

Answer:

Mean = 15

Standard deviation = 1.94

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:

We treat favoring of building a police substation as a success.

P(Success) = 75% = 0.75

Then the number of citizens follows a binomial distribution, where

P(X=x) = \binom{n}{x}.p^x.(1-p)^{n-x}

where n is the total number of observations, x is the number of success, p is the probability of success.

Now, we are given n = 20

We have to find the mean and the standard deviation.

\mu = np = 20(0.75 ) = 15\\\sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{20(0.75)(1-0.75)} = 1.94

Thus, the mean of favoring the substation is 15 and the standard deviation of favoring substation is 1.94
