Answer:

It will take 2.6 hours by Daniel to catch up with Frank.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Daniel will catch up with Frank after t hours.

Now, Frank will go 13 miles in \frac{13}{45} = 0.288 hours.

So, the distance traveled by Frank in (t + 0.228) hours with 45 mph speed will be equal to the distance traveled by Daniel in t hours with 50 mph speed.

Hence, 45(t + 0.288) = 50t

⇒ 5t = 13

⇒ t = 2.6 hours.

Therefore, it will take 2.6 hours by Daniel to catch up with Frank. (Answer)

Answer:

The median is Median  =  0.903

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that  

   The sample size is n =  100

   The  1^{st} \to 45^{th} measurements is  =  0.859 \to   0.900

    Generally since that after 0.900 we have  0.901 , then the

     46^{th} \  measurement \  is  \  0.901

in the same manner the  47^{th} \  measurement \  is  \  0.902,

Given that 0.902  was observed three times it means that

                                         47^{th},48^{th},49^{th}  \  measurement \  is  \  0.902,

Given that 0.903  was observed two times it means that

                                          50^{th},51^{th} \  measurement \  is  \  0.903,

Given that 0.903  was observed four times it means that

                                         52^{nd},53^{rd},54^{th},55^{th} \  measurement \  is  \  0.904,

Given that the highest measurement is  0.958 then then the  56^{th} \to  100^{th} \  measurement \  is  \  between \  0.905 \to 0.958

Generally the median is is mathematically represented as

            Median  =  \frac{ [\frac{n^{th}}{2}]  + [(\frac{n}{2})^{th} + 1 ]}{2}

=>        Median  =  \frac{ [\frac{100^{th}}{2}]  + [(\frac{100}{2})^{th} + 1 ]}{2}

=>        Median  =  \frac{ [50^{th}]  + [51^{th} ]}{2}

=>        Median  =  \frac{ 0.903 + 0.903}{2}

=>        Median  =  0.903

Jorge wants to write 4/5 as a sum of unit fractions
grin007 [14]
<span>A unit fraction is a fraction where the denominator is one, so the easiest way to write 4/5 as a sum of unit fractions is to use 1/5.
So the answer would be 1/5+1/5+1/5+1/5.
Add up all the numerators and put that over their like denominators to get 4/5!</span><span />

nordsb [41]

Answer: Stratified sampling


Step-by-step explanation:

Stratified sampling is a random sampling method in which the population is divided into non-coinciding groups are called strata and a sample is picked out by some design within each stratum.

Given: A researcher wants to survey people from different age groups to analyze voting patterns.

Thus he will make different groups according to different ages to analyze voting patterns that are called stratum.

Thus, Stratified sampling best accomplish this goal.
