Help me pls and pls explain

Mathematics
1 answer:
Luda [366]2 years ago

Answer:

5.1 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

she ran 3 2/5 miles in 2/3 hours.

that is the essential information to solve the problem. everything else is just there to give you "atmosphere" and Shao to confuse you.

the question is simply : what was her speed in mph ?

that means we need to bring the ratio of

3 2/5 miles / 2/3 hours

to 1 hour in the denominator (instead of 2/3 hours).

because we need that to express miles per (one) hour.

so, what do we need to multiply 2/3 with to get 1 (=3/3) ?

2/3 × x = 1

2x = 3

x = 3/2

so, to get 1 hour, we need to multiply the denominator by 3/2.

and to keep the original value of the ratio, we need to multiply also the numerator by the same 3/2.

speed = (3 2/5 miles × 3/2) / (2/3 hours × 3/2) =

= (17/5 miles × 3/2) / (1 hour) = 51/10 miles / 1 hour =

= 5.1 miles / 1 hour = 5.1 mph

Help on both of these pls<br> also sry the lighting is weird
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The 2 angles form a right angle, thus their sum is 90°, hence

4x + 7 + 35 = 90

4x + 42 = 90 ( subtract 42 from both sides )

4x = 48 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 12

-----------------------------------------------------

To calculate the slope m use the slope formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, 4) ← 2 points on the line

m = \frac{4-0}{1-0} = \frac{4}{1} = 4

The strength of paper used in the manufacturing of cardboard boxes (y) is related to percentage of hardwood concentration in the
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

At a significance level of 0.05, there is enough evidence to claim that there is a significant relationship between x and y.

P-value = 0.003.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we perform a regression analysis relating x and y, we get the best fitting line with equation:

y=15.82x+92.9

and a correlation coefficient r:

r=0.693

We have to test the hypothesis, where the alternative hypothesis claims that there is a relationship between these two variables, and the null hypothesis claiming there is no relationship (meaning that the correlation is not significantly different from 0).

This can be written as:

H_0: \rho=0\\\\H_a:\rho\neq0

where ρ is the population correlation coefficient for x and y.

The significance level is assumed to be 0.05.

The sample size is n=16.

The degrees of freedom are df=14.

df=n-2=16-2=14

The test statistic can be calculated as:

t=\dfrac{r\sqrt{n-2}}{\sqrt{1-r^2}}=\dfrac{0.693\sqrt{14}}{\sqrt{1-(0.693)^2}}=\dfrac{2.593}{0.721}=3.597

For a test statistic t=2.05 and 14 degrees of freedom, the P-value is calculated as:

\text{P-value}=2\cdot P(t>3.597)=0.003

The P-value (0.003) is smaller than the significance level (0.05), so the effect is significant enough.

The null hypothesis is rejected.

At a significance level of 0.05, there is enough evidence to claim that there is a significant relationship between x and y.

makvit [3.9K]
To start with, wee need to find the total number of candies in the bowl. 14+12+6=32. We then form a fraction based on the number of blue pieces and this number. 12/32. This is the probability of selecting a blue piece and converts into 37.5%
