Jim's speedboat can travel 24 miles upstream against a 4 mph current. In the same amount of time it travels 26 miles

Answer:

speed of the boat = 100 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = speed of the boat

upstream speed = x - 4

downstream speed = x + 4

time = 24/(x - 4) = 26/(x + 4)

Cross multiply:

24(x + 4) = 26(x - 4)

24x + 96 = 26x - 104

104 + 96 = 26x - 24x

200 = 2x

x = 100 mph

Nice job with part A on getting those correct answers.

====================================================

Part B

  • mu = mean = 43
  • sigma = standard deviation = 3

Let's calculate the z score for the raw score x = 37

z = (x - mu)/sigma

z = (37 - 43)/3

z = -6/3

z = -2

A negative z score tells us we're below the mean. Specifically, we are exactly 2 standard deviations under the mean.

If you repeat those steps for x = 46 (not changing mu or sigma), then you should get z = 1. So we're now 1 standard deviation above the mean.

Ultimately, we want to know the area under the standard normal curve (aka z curve) from z = -2 to z = 1.

Refer to the chart below which is a breakdown of the Empirical Rule. The pink areas are within 1 standard deviation of the mean. We have two regions taking up roughly 34% of the full area under the curve, so they combine to 34+34 = 68%

Then we add on another 13.5% which is the blue area on the left (between z = -2 and z = -1)

So 13.5+68 = 81.5% of the area under the curve is between z = -2 and z = 1.

<h3>Answer: 81.5</h3>

Note: the percent sign is already taken care of for us, so there's no need to type it in. But the answer above of course means 81.5% and that answer is approximate.

====================================================

Part C

Let's find the z score for x = 34. The values of mu and sigma are the same as before.

z = (x - mu)/sigma

z = (34-43)/3

z = -9/3

z = -3

So computing P(X > 34) is the same as P(Z > -3)

Notice how adding up all of the values in the chart mentioned gets us:

2.35+13.5+34+34+13.5+2.35 = 99.7

which means 99.7% of the distribution is within 3 standard deviations of the mean. The remaining 100% - 99.7% = 0.3% is the combined area of both tails. So each tail is (0.3%)/2 = 0.15%

In short, 0.15% of the area under the curve is to the left of z = -3

Therefore, 100% - 0.15% = 99.85% of the widgets are going to have z values larger than -3, which in turn means they have values larger than 34.

<h3>Answer: 99.85</h3>

Again you don't have to worry about the percent sign. Like before, the answer is approximate.

What does 4+9+(16 divide 4-8-3) x 5 equal?
stellarik [79]

Answer:

-22

Step-by-step explanation:

4 + 9 + (16 ÷ 4 - 8 - 3) × 5

= 13 + (4 - 8 - 3) × 5

= 13 - 7 × 5

= 13 - 35

= -22

Julio started biking to the park traveling 8 mph, after some time the bike got a flat so Julio walked the rest of the way, trave
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

Julio travel <u>3 hours</u> by biking and <u>4 hours</u> by walking.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Julio started biking to the park traveling 8 mph, after some time the bike got a flat so Julio walked the rest of the way, traveling 7 mph.

If the total trip to the park took 7 hours and it was 52 miles away.

Now, to find the time Julio travel at each speed.

The speed travelled by the bike = 8 mph.

The speed travelled by the walking = 7 mph.

Let the time Julio travel with bike be x.

And the time Julio travel by walking be y.

As, given Julio started biking to the park traveling, after some time the bike got a flat so Julio walked the rest of the way,

Thus, the total time taken:

x+y=7

y=7-x\ \ \ .......(1)

So, the distance travelled by bike:

Speed × time

8\times x=8x

And, the distance travelled by walking:

Speed × time

7\times y=7y

Now, the total distance travelled by Julio:

8x+7y=52

Substituting the value of x from equation (1) we get:

8x+7(7-x)=52

8x+49-7x=52\\\\x+49=52

<em>Subtracting both sides by 49 we get:</em>

x=3.

<em>The time Julio travelled with bike = 3 hours.</em>

Now, to get the time Julio travelled by walking by substituting the value of x:

y=7-x\\\\y=7-3\\\\y=4\ hours.

<em>The time Julio travelled by walking = 4 hours.</em>

Therefore, Julio travel 3 hours by biking and 4 hours by walking.
