One number is 4 more than another number. If the greater number is x, what is the other number?

NEED HELP ASAP!!

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Only Cory is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The gravitational pull of the Earth on a person or object is given by Newton's law of gravitation as follows;

$F =G\times \dfrac{M \cdot m}{r^{2}}$

Where;

G = The universal gravitational constant

M = The mass of one object

m = The mass of the other object

r = The distance between the centers of the two objects

For the gravitational pull of the Earth on a person, when the person is standing on the Earth's surface, r = R = The radius of the Earth ≈ 6,371 km

Therefore, for an astronaut in the international Space Station, r = 6,800 km

The ratio of the gravitational pull on the surface of the Earth, F₁, and the gravitational pull on an astronaut at the international space station, F₂, is therefore given as follows;

$\dfrac{F_1}{F_2} = \dfrac{ \dfrac{M \cdot m}{R^{2}}}{\dfrac{M \cdot m}{r^{2}}} = \dfrac{r^2}{R^2} = \dfrac{(6,800 \ km)^2}{(6,371 \ km)^2} \approx 1.14$

∴ F₁ ≈ 1.14 × F₂

F₂ ≈ 0.8778 × F₁

Therefore, the gravitational pull on the astronaut by virtue of the distance from the center of the Earth, F₂ is approximately 88% of the gravitational pull on a person of similar mass on Earth

However, the International Space Station is moving in its orbit around the Earth at an orbiting speed enough to prevent the Space Station from falling to the Earth such that the Space Station falls around the Earth because of the curved shape of the gravitational attraction, such that the astronaut are constantly falling (similar to falling from height) and appear not to experience gravity

Therefore, Cory is correct, the astronauts in the International Space Station, 6,800 km from the Earth's center, are not too far to experience gravity.

The delivery times for all food orders at a fast-food restaurant during the lunch hour are normally distributed with a mean of m

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

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

$X \sim N(14.7,3.7)$

Where $\mu=14.7$ and $\sigma=3.7$

Since the distribution of X is normal then we know that the distribution for the sample mean $\bar X$ is given by:

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

And we have;

$\mu_{\bar X}= 14.70$

$\sigma_{\bar X} =\frac{3.7}{\sqrt{40}}= 0.59$

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this question: The delivery times for all food orders at a fast-food restaurant during the lunch hour are normally distributed with a mean of 14.7 minutes and a standard deviation of 3.7 minutes. Let R be the mean delivery time for a random sample of 40 orders at this restaurant. Calculate the mean and standard deviation of $\bar X$ Round your answers to two decimal places.

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 delivery times of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(14.7,3.7)$

Where $\mu=14.7$ and $\sigma=3.7$

Since the distribution of X is normal then we know that the distribution for the sample mean $\bar X$ is given by:

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

And we have;

$\mu_{\bar X}= 14.70$

$\sigma_{\bar X} =\frac{3.7}{\sqrt{40}}= 0.59$

A train travels in a straight path at a steady speed of 1.25 miles per minute. At noon, the train is 100 miles from the starting

Leto [7]

We'll take 1.25 miles as one minute (x) and take 100 as total distance (D) while T is the time it took to reach that distance.
T = D/x
putting the values in
T = 100/1.25
T = 80
80 minutes is the answer.
