Two cars that are 150 miles apart start driving toward each other on parallel roads. The average speed of the first car is 60 mi

les per hour. The average speed of the second car is 55 miles per hour. Which equation can be used to determine t, the time it takes for the two cars to pass each other?
A table showing Rate in mile per hour, Time in hours, and Distance in miles. The first row shows First Car and has 60, t, and 60 t. The second row shows Second Car and has, 55, t, and 55 t.

60t – 55t = 0
60t + 55t = 1
60t + 55t = 150
60t – 55t = 150

Answer:

60T + 55T = 150

Step-by-step explanation:

T(60+55)=150\\115T=150

T=150/115=1.304 hr

The cars takes 1.304 hrs (1h 18 min aprox) to pass each other

Hope this helps

It is known that the life of a particular auto transmission follows a normal distribution with mean 72,000 miles and standard de
scoray [572]

Answer:

a) P(X

P(z

b) P(X>65000)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{65000-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{65000-72000}{12000})=P(z>-0.583)

P(z>-0.583)=1-P(Z

c) P(X>100000)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{100000-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{100000-72000}{12000})=P(z>2.33)

P(z>2.33)=1-P(Z

Sicne this probability just represent 1% of the data we can consider this value as unusual.

d) z=1.28

And if we solve for a we got

a=72000 +1.28*12000=87360

So the value of height that separates the bottom 90% of data from the top 10% is 87360.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the life of a particular auto transmission of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(72000,12000)  

Where \mu=72000 and \sigma=12000

We are interested on this probability

P(X

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X

And we can find this probability using excel or the normal standard table and we got:

P(z

Part b

P(X>65000)

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X>65000)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{65000-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{65000-72000}{12000})=P(z>-0.583)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and excel or the normal standard table and we got:

P(z>-0.583)=1-P(Z

Part c

P(X>100000)

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X>100000)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{100000-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{100000-72000}{12000})=P(z>2.33)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule and excel or the normal standard table and we got:

P(z>2.33)=1-P(Z

Sicne this probability just represent 1% of the data we can consider this value as unusual.

Part d

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

P(X>a)=0.1   (a)

P(X   (b)

Both conditions are equivalent on this case. We can use the z score again in order to find the value a.  

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.9 of the area on the left and 0.1 of the area on the right it's z=1.28. On this case P(Z<1.28)=0.9 and P(z>1.28)=0.1

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

P(X  

P(z

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

z=1.28

And if we solve for a we got

a=72000 +1.28*12000=87360

So the value of height that separates the bottom 90% of data from the top 10% is 87360.
