Answer:
4 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount remaining at the end of each hour is 0.85 of the amount at the start of the hour. You want to find the exponent such that ...
... 0.85^x = 0.5 . . . . . x = the number of hours until half is left
... x·log(0.85) = log(0.5) . . . . . take the log to turn it to a linear equation
... x = log(0.5)/log(0.85) ≈ 4.265024
Rounded to the nearest hour, x = 4.
Answer:
Median.
Step-by-step explanation:
The median is the value separating the higher half of a data sample, a population, or a probability distribution, from the lower half. In simple terms, it may be thought of as the "middle" value of a data set. For example, in the data set {1, 3, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9}, the median is 6, the fourth number in the sample. The median is a commonly used measure of the properties of a data set in statistics and probability theory.
Answer:
At a speed of 57 mph for 8 hr a driver will travel 456 mi
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we have a summary of the letters for each variable:
Speed ---> r (in units of mph)
Time ---> t (in units of hr)
Distance ---> d (in units of mi)
These three variables are related by the next formula:
d = rt
In the data they give to you: 57 mph and 8 hr, they are telling you the r and the t, respectively:
r = 57 mph
t = 8 hr
The only thing you have to do is replace the values:
d = rt ----> d = 57 mph x 8 hr
d = 456 mi
Answer:
The answer is 314.159 which can be rounded to 314.
