Answer:

x = 50 mph speed of the bus

y = 75 mph speed of the train

Step-by-step explanation:

Lt´s call "x" speed of bus and "y" speed of train.

According to the problem statement

6*x = 4*y (1)

y = x + 25 (2)

We solve for x and y the two equation system

y = ( 6/4)*x

( 6/4)*x = x + 25

6*x = 4*x + 100

2*x = 100

x = 50 mph

And

y = (6/4)*x

y = 300/4

y = 75 mh

Suppose you want to learn more about the heights of the buildings in New York City. How would you choose a sample of the buildin

natulia [17]

Answer:

I'd use a Non-probability Sampling Method.

Explanation:

The question is already laced with criteria - Heights of Buildings in New York.

This means that there are certain buildings that won't fit in the sample. In a non-probability sample, objects or subjects are elected based on specified criteria that are not random. This means that not all objects/subject have a c<em>hance</em> of being included in the sample.

It is assumed that the question/assignment centers around high rise buildings.

Therefore, one storey buildings and bungalows that are within and outside New York will not be included in the sample.

Under the Non-Probability Sampling Method, it is essential to note that there are other subgroupings of sampling techniques. They are:

Convenience Sample
Voluntary Sample
Purposive Sample
Snowball Sample

Cheers!

Check the picture below.

thus then

$\bf \begin{cases}
y=100-a\\
y=a\sqrt{3}
\end{cases}\implies 100-a=a\sqrt{3}\implies 100=a+a\sqrt{3}
\\\\\\
100=a(1+\sqrt{3})\implies \boxed{\cfrac{100}{1+\sqrt{3}}=a}
\\\\\\
\textit{what is the altitude \underline{y} then?}\qquad y=100-a
\\\\\\
y=100-\cfrac{100}{1+\sqrt{3}}\implies y\approx 63.39745962156~yards$

I do not understand this question, anyone help? Most brainiest for the right answer!

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

56.7

Step-by-step explanation:

We know

mean = sum / count, with count being the amount of papers corrected in this case. We want to find the sum of all the papers as well as the count to figure out the mean of all papers.

For Tony's papers,

mean = sum / count

50 = sum / 40

multiply both sides by 40 to isolate the sum

sum = 50 * 40 = 2000

For Alice's papers,

mean = sum / count

70 = sum / 20

multiply both sides by 20 to isolate the sum

70 * 20 = sum = 1400

The total sum of all 60 papers is equal to the sum of 40 papers + the sum of the remaining 20 papers, or 2000 + 1400 = 3400. The mean of the 60 papers is therefore

mean = sum / count

mean = 3400/60 ≈ 56.7

The length of a rectangle is 5 inches more than 3 times the width. If the area of the rectangle is 68 square inches, what is the

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Width=4, and Length=17

Step-by-step explanation:

first you will make a variable for the width which i will say is x

now make it an equation (3x+5) (x) = 68

then solve 3x^2+5x=68

then 3x^2+5x-68=0

then x=4

then you have to substitute so 3(4)+5= 17 and 4

Answer:

Ella should not have included 5 in absolute value portion of the equation

Step-by-step explanation:

Because -1 is a negative number in order to find the true distance between A and B you have to make it positive.

But, because Ella included 5 in the absolute value portion of the equation it messed up the answer.
