Let the time taken by Vince to complete the race was x hours. 
Maury completed the race 1.5 hours faster. This means Maury complete the race in (x - 1.5) hours.

Average Speed of Maury = 16 miles per hour
Average Speed of Vince = 12 miles per hour

Distance = Speed x Time.

For Maury:
Distance = 16(x - 1.5)

For Vince:
Distance = 12x

Since the distance covered by both was the same, we can equate the two equations as:

16(x - 1.5) = 12x
16x - 24 = 12x
4x = 24
x = 6 
This means Vince complete the race in 6 hours.

Distance = Speed x Time = 12 x 6 = 72 miles

Thus, the total distance of the race was 72 miles.

Suppose X has a continuous uniform distribution over the interval [1.3, 6.2]. Round your answers to 3 decimal places.
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

(a) 3.75

(b) 2.00083

(c) 0.4898

Step-by-step explanation:

It is provided that X has a continuous uniform distribution over the interval [1.3, 6.2].

(a)

Compute the mean of X as follows:

\mu_{X}=\frac{a+b}{2}=\frac{1.3+6.2}{2}=3.75

(b)

Compute the variance of X as follows:

\sigm^{2}_{X}=\frac{(b-a)^{2}}{12}=\frac{(6.2-1.3)^{2}}{12}=2.00083

(c)

Compute the value of P(X < 3.7) as follows:

P(X < 3.7)=\int\limits^{3.7}_{1.3}{\frac{1}{6.2-1.3}}\, dx\\\\=\frac{1}{4.9}\times [x]^{3.7}_{1.3}\\\\=\frac{3.7-1.3}{4.9}\\\\\approx 0.4898

Thus, the value of P(X < 3.7)  is 0.4898.

X+2y=8 in slope intercept form
jeka94
This question is super easy, all you need to do is isolate the y variable. When you want to isolate it, you have to get rid of other numbers by doing the opposite sign.
x+2y=8     Subtract the x.
2y=8-x      Divide by two.
y=4-1/2x
