Answer:

8:04 am

Step-by-step explanation:

The first train travels 60 miles from 6am to 7am

So at 7am the trains are 455 - 60 = 395 miles apart

First train: Distance from town A (DA) = Velocity* time = 60t

Second train: Distance from town B (DB) = Velocity*time = 70t

So, DA + DB = 60t + 70t

395 = 130t

t = 395/130

= 3.4 hrs

= 3 hrs 4 mins

The first train left at 5am so the exact time would be 8:04am (5am +3 hrs and 4 minutes)

A 95% confidence is given by (15,20) . The interval is based on a sample of size n=25 .
love history [14]

Answer:

b. quadruple the sample size.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a 95% confidence is given by (15,20) .

this implies that mean = average of lower and higher bounds of confidence interval = \frac{15+20}{2} =17.5

Margin of error = Upper bound - Mean = 20-17.5 = 2.5

Confidence level = 95%

Critical value = 1.96

Std  error = \frac{2.5}{1.96} =1.27551

Std devition = Std error * sqrt n = 6.3775

If we want to reduce margin of error by half we must get margin of error as 1.25

For that std error for same critical value = 0.63775

Std deviation did not change

So sample size only changed which implies that sample size is 4 times the original

b. quadruple the sample size.

William earns $13 an hour working at a movie theater last week he worked h hours at the concession stand and three times as many
maw [93]
I think the expression for that is 13 • h • 3 because he gets $13 per hour and we don't know how many hours he worked so we would just put a variable and then he worked three times as many hours so multiply by 3. I might be wrong but hopefully it helps

A number cube with faces labeled 1 to 6 is rolled once.
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

a)  A ∪ B = {2, 4, 5, 6}

b)  A ∩ B = {6}

c)  \sf B^c = {1, 3, 5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Set notation is used in math to list numbers, objects or outcomes.

It uses <u>curly brackets</u> called "braces". Objects placed within the braces are the elements of the set.

The listing method of <u>set notation</u> simply lists the numbers in the set.

The three dots "..." means it is infinite (goes on forever).

Given:

  • A number cube with faces labeled 1 to 6.

Therefore the set of all possible outcomes is {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}.

<u>Event A</u>

The number rolled is <u>greater than 4</u>.

Therefore, the set of outcomes for event A is {5, 6}.

<u>Event B</u>

The number rolled is <u>even</u>.

Therefore, the set of outcomes for event B is {2, 4, 6}.

<u>Part (a)</u>
Event "A or B" means the outcomes in A or B or both.

⇒ A ∪ B = {2, 4, 5, 6}

<u>Part (b)</u>

Event "A and B" means the outcomes in both A and B.

⇒  A ∩ B = {6}

<u>Part (c)</u>

The complement of event B means everything that is not in B.

\sf \implies B^c =<em> </em>{1, 3, 5}
