Mel slides down waterslide A, and Victor slides down waterslide B. After 2 seconds, Mel was 50 feet in the air, and after 5 seco

nds, she was 35 feet in the air. After 1 second, Victor was 60 feet in the air, and after 4 seconds, he was 50 feet in the air. Who was descending at a faster rate?
Mel: (2, 50) and (5, 35)

Victor: (1, 60) and (4, 50)

Mel’s rate of change is _. That means that her height in the air decreases _ feet every second.


Victor’s rate of change is _. That means that his height in the air decreases _ feet every second.

Answer:

Mel was descending at 5 feet per second and Victor was descending at 3.33 feet per second, thus Mel was descending faster.

Since after 2 seconds, Mel was 50 feet in the air, and after 5 seconds, she was 35 feet in the air, while after 1 second, Victor was 60 feet in the air, and after 4 seconds, he was 50 feet in the air, to determine who was descending at a faster average rate and what is Mel's rate of change, the following calculations must be performed:

You must subtract the difference between the two times for each person, and check which is the highest rate between the two.

Mel =

(50 - 35) / (5 - 2) = X

15/3 = X

5 = X

Victor =

(60 - 50) / (4 - 1) = X

10/3 = X

3.33 = X

Therefore, Mel was descending at 5 feet per second and Victor was descending at 3.33 feet per second, thus Mel was descending faster.

Iq scores are normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15 what is the probability that a randomly sel
a_sh-v [17]
So we are given the mean and the s.d.. The mean is 100 and the sd is 15 and we are trying the select a random person who has an I.Q. of over 126. So our first step is to use our z-score equation:

z = x - mean/s.d.

where x is our I.Q. we are looking for

So we plug in our numbers and we get:

126-100/15 = 1.73333

Next we look at our z-score table for our P-value and I got 0.9582

Since we are looking for a person who has an I.Q. higher than 126, we do 1 - P. So we get

1 - 0.9582 = 0.0418

Since they are asking for the probability, we multiply our P-value by 100, and we get 

0.0418 * 100 = 4.18%

And our answer is

4.18% that a randomly selected person has an I.Q. above 126
Hopes this helps!
