Answer:

E. 95

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{Given that:}  \\ \\ X \sim U(a,100) \\ \\ fx(x) = \dfrac{1}{100-a} \\ \\ E[X^2] = \int _x f_x (x) \ dx  \\ \\ \implies \int^{100}_{a} \dfrac{x^2}{100-a}dx \\ \\ =\dfrac{100^3-a^3}{3(100-a)} \\ \\ =\dfrac{100^2+100a+a^2}{3} \\ \\ E[X^2] = \dfrac{19600}{3}=\dfrac{100^2+100a+a^2}{3}  \\ \\\implies a^2 +100a+10000=19600 \\ \\ \implies a^2 +100a -9600 = 0 \\ \\ \implies a = \dfrac{-100 \pm \sqrt{100^2 -4(-9600)} }{2} \\ \\=\dfrac{-100 \pm \sqrt{48400}} {2} \\ \\ = \dfrac{-100 \pm 220}{2} \\= 60 \ OR \ 160

\text{SInce X is a percentage score on an exam }\ P(X \ge 0) = 1 \text{which means } \ a = 60\\ \\Y \sim U (1.25a,100) = U(75,100)\\ \\ f_y(y) = \dfrac{1}{100-75} = \dfrac{1}{25} \\ \\ \text{Let assume the 80th percentile of Y be} \ y_{80} } \\ \\ \\Then; \ P(Y \le y_{80}) =80\% \implies \int^{y_{80}}_{75} \ f_Y (y) \ dy = 0.8 \\ \\ \implies \int^{y_{80}}_{75}\dfrac{1}{25} \ dy = 0.8 \\ \\  \implies \dfrac{y_{80}-75}{25}= 0.8 \\ \\ \implies y_{80} = 95

Clare spent a total of 25 minutes at the track. She spent 5 minutes stretching and walked 4 laps around the track. If she walked
andrezito [222]
Hello!

First of all, we can subtract the stretching time. This gives us 20. If we divide by the four laps we get 5 minutes per lap.

Now, one lap is 400 meters (most tracks are), which is equal to 15,748.03 inches. This means it takes her five minutes to walk 15,748.03 inches. This is also equal to 300 seconds, so it takes her 300 minutes per 15,748.03 inches. 

But if we round our big inches number to the nearest ten thousandth, we get 16,000, so in a simpler form her pace is 300/16,000. But we need to find in per second. Therefore we will divide by 300 to find how many inches she walks per second.  This means she walks about 53.33 inches per second.

I hope this helps!

Write an inequality involving the variable x that describes the set of numbers graphed.

Since it does not include 0 in the inequality, nor does it include any numbers below 0, it must be \boxed{x\ \textgreater \ 0}.
