Answer:

8.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for percent error:

$|\frac{observed value - expected value}{expected value} | * 100%$

Using this formula, we get:

$|\frac{11-12}{12} |* 100 = \frac{100}{12} = 8.33$

ANEK [815]

Answer:

$P(\bar X$

And we can solve this using the following z score formula:

$z = \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

And if we use this formula we got:

$z = \frac{63-63.6}{\frac{2.5}{\sqrt{100}}}= -2.4$

So we can find this probability equivalently like this:

$P( Z$

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".

Solution to the problem

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

$X \sim N(63.6,2.5)$

Where $\mu=63.6$ and $\sigma=2.5$

We select n =100. Since the distribution for X is normal then we know that the distribution for the sample mean $\bar X$ is given by:

$\bar X \sim N(\mu, \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})$

We want this probability:

$P(\bar X$

And we can solve this using the following z score formula:

$z = \frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

And if we use this formula we got:

$z = \frac{63-63.6}{\frac{2.5}{\sqrt{100}}}= -2.4$

So we can find this probability equivalently like this:

$P( Z$

It takes 45 minutes to drive to the nearest bowling alley taking city streets going 30 miles per hour

zmey [24]

Answer:

The time it will take to get to the bowling alley while driving at 65 mph on the freeway is approximately 20.8 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The time it takes through the streets to drive to the nearest bowling alley = 45 minutes

The speed of driving through the streets = 30 miles per hour (mph)

The speed of driving through the freeway to the bowling alley = 65 mph

From the speed of driving through the streets and the time taken we have;

The formula for speed, S, is S = Distance/Time

Therefore, 30 mph = Distance/45 minutes

Where, 1 hour = 60 minutes, 45 minutes = 1/60×45 hour = 3/4 hour

30 mph = Distance/45 minutes = Distance/(3/4 hour)

30 mph = Distance/(3/4 hour)

Distance = 30 mph × 3/4 hour = 22.5 miles

Given that the distance through the freeway and through the streets are the same, we have from speed = Distance/Time;

Time = Distance/Speed

The speed through the freeway = 65 mph while the distance remain 22.5 miles

Therefore;

Time = 22.5 miles/(65 mph) ≈ 0.346 hour ≈ 20.8 minutes

The time it will take to get to the bowling alley while driving at 65 mph on the freeway is approximately 20.8 minutes.

The speed of a boat in still water is 40 mph. If it takes the same time for the boat to travel 8 miles upstream as it does to tr

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Current speed is 40mph

Step-by-step explanation:

We firstly need to know what is intended by upstream and downstream. When the boat travels in the direction of the current (horizontal movement of the water), we say it is moving downstream otherwise it is moving upstream.

Let's assume the speed of the boat is A and that of the current is B, then the speed when it moves dowstream would be A + B and the speed if it moves upstream would be A – B.

In this question, we know that the speed of the boat is 40mph. Given that it takes the same time to travel 8miles upstream as it does to travel 24miles downstream, we have

Speed upstream = 8/t

Speed downstream = 24/t

Respectively.

Let speed of current be X, then

Speed downstream = 40 + X

Speed upstream = 40 – X

From the question we have:

(40 + x)/24 = (40 – X)/8

(40 + x)/3 = (40 – x)/1

3(40 – x) = 40 + X

120 – 3x = 40 – X

120 – 40 = 3x – X

2x = 80

X = 40.

Therefore, current speed is 40mph

Classify each number below as an integer or not.

fomenos

Answer:

1. yes

2. no

3. yes

4. no

5. yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The method i use is if the number is not a fraction than it is an integer. besides 6 for some reason.

Here is the catch if the fraction can be simplified into a whole number than it is an integer.
