Two trains start from Fort Worth traveling at the same speed. The trip for Train W takes 20 hours, while the trip for Train Z ta

kes 25 hours. If the city Train Z is traveling to is 400 miles farther away than the city Train W is traveling to, how far will each train travel in total to reach its destination?
Which of the following rational equations best models this situation?

a. x/25 = x+400/20

b. x/20 = x+400/25

c. x/20 = x/25 - 400

d. x/20 = x-400/25

e. x/20 + 400 = x/25

Answer:

The equation that best models this situation is :

b. $\frac{x}{20}=\frac{x+400}{25}$

Distance traveled by Train W = 1600 miles

Distance traveled by Train Z = 2,000 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Time taken for Train W to complete a trip = 20 hours

Time taken for Train Z to complete a trip = 25 hours

The city Train Z is traveling to is 400 miles farther away than the city Train W is traveling to.

both trains have same speeds and start from same location.

To find the distance in total each train travels.

Solution:

<em>Let length of the trip of Train W be </em>= $x$ miles

Speed of Train W can be given as :

⇒ $\frac{Distance}{Time}$

⇒ $\frac{x}{20}\ miles/h$

<em>So, the length of the trip of Train Z will be</em> = $(x+400)$ miles

Speed of Train Z can be given as :

⇒ $\frac{Distance}{Time}$

⇒ $\frac{x+400}{25}\ miles/h$

Since the speeds are same, so the equation to find $x$ can be given as:

⇒ $\frac{x}{20}=\frac{x+400}{25}$

Solving for $x$

Multiplying both sides by 100 to remove fractions.

⇒ $100\times \frac{x}{20}=100\times \frac{x+400}{25}$

⇒ $5x=4(x+400)$

Using distribution.

⇒ $5x=4x+1600$

Subtracting both sides by $4x$

⇒ $5x-4x=4x-4x+1600$

⇒ $x=1600$

Thus, Distance traveled by Train W = 1600 miles

Distance traveled by Train Z = $1600+400$ = 2,000 miles

Data show that men between the ages of 20 and 29 in a general population have a mean height of 69.3 inches, with a standard deviation of 2.5 inches. a baseball analyst wonders whether the standard deviation of heights of major-league baseball players is less than 2.5 inches. the heights (in inches) of 20 randomly selected players are shown in the table.

What are the correct hypotheses for this test?

The null hypothesis is H₀?: ____ 2.5

The alternative hypothesis is H₁?: ____ 2.5

Calculate the value of the test statistic.

x² = _____ (Round to three decimal places)

Answer:

Null hypothesis, H₀: σ = 2.5

Alternative hypothesis, Hₐ: μ<2.5

Test statistic = 12.920

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Data shows that:

men between the ages of 20 and 29 in a general population have a mean height of 69.3 inches, with a standard deviation of 2.5 inches

We consider a random sample of 20 selected baseball players.

Therefore;

The Null and Alternative hypothesis are as follows:

The Null hypothesis is the standard deviation of the heights of major league baseball players is not less than 2.5 inches.

Null hypothesis, H₀: σ = 2.5

On the other hand: The Alternative hypothesis is the standard deviation of the heights of major league baseball players is less than 2.5 inches.

Alternative hypothesis, Hₐ: μ<2.5

The Mean Calculation is:

$\bar{x} = \frac{1}{2} \sum x_i$

$= \frac{1}{20} (72+74+...+74) \\ \\ = \frac{1468}{20} \\ \\ =73.4$

The sample standard deviation is:

$s = \sqrt{\frac{1}{n-1} \sum (x_1 - \bar{x})^2 }$

$= \sqrt{\frac{1}{20-1} \sum (72-73.4)^2 + ...+(74-73.4)^2 } \\ \\ = \sqrt{4.25} \\ \\ = 2.06$

The test statistics is now determined as :

$x^2 = \frac{(n-1)s^2}{\sigma^2} \\ \\ = \frac{(20-1)(2.06)^2}{(2.5)^2} \\ \\ = \frac{19*4.25}{6.25} \\ \\ = \frac{80.75}{6.25} \\ \\ = 12.920$

Drag the values to order them from least to greatest, with the least at the top. Item 2 moved to position 3. 79 − − √ + 63 − − √

Nonamiya [84]

$\sqrt{63} \\ \\ \sqrt{79} \\ \\ \sqrt{143} \\ \\ 4\pi$

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

As I understand, in this exercise, we have the following numbers:

$\text{Number 1}=\sqrt{79} \\ \\ \text{Number 2}=\sqrt{63} \\ \\ \text{Number 3}=\sqrt{143} \\ \\ \text{Number 4}=4\pi$

By using calculator, let's convert those numbers into decimal form:

$\text{Number 1} \approx 8.88\\ \\ \text{Number 2} \approx 7.93 \\ \\ \text{Number 3} \approx 11.96 \\ \\ \text{Number 4} \approx 12.56$

So arranging from least to greatest we have:

$\text{Number 2} \\ \\ \text{Number 1} \\ \\ \text{Number 3} \\ \\ \text{Number 2}$

Put another way:

$\sqrt{63} \\ \\ \sqrt{79} \\ \\ \sqrt{143} \\ \\ 4\pi$

Year Net Profit
1 <span>$14,250.00
2 $15,390.00
3 $16,621.20
4 $17,950.90</span>2

We need to get the increase of the net profit of the current year from the previous year.

Percentage increase = (Current year - Previous Year)/ Previous Year * 100%

Year 2: (15,390 - 14, 250) / 14,250 * 100% = 0.08 * 100% = 8%
Year 3: (16,621.20 - 15,390) / 15,390 * 100% = 0.08 * 100% = 8%
Year 4: (17,950.90 - 16,621.20) / 16,621.20 * 100% = 0.08 * 100% = 8%

Every year the net income increases by 8%. So, the net income in Year 5 will be:

17,950.90 x 1.08 = 19,386.97 Choice D.
