Two bicyclists are 7/8 of the way through a mile long tunnel when a train approaches the closer end at 40 mph. The riders take o

ff at the same speed in opposite directions and each escapes the tunnel as the train passes them. How fast did they ride?

Answer:

the cyclists rode at 35 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the cyclists stopped, and accelerated instantaneously at the same speed than before but in opposite direction , then

distance= speed*time

since the cyclists and the train reaches the end of the tunnel at the same time and denoting L as the length of the tunnel :

time = distance covered by cyclists / speed of cyclists = distance covered by train / speed of the train

thus denoting v as the speed of the cyclists :

7/8*L / v = L / 40 mph

v = 7/8 * 40 mph = 35 mph

v= 35 mph

thus the cyclists rode at 35 mph

Which will have a higher effective interest rate — a payday loan for $1900 that is due in 14 days with a fee of $80, or a payday
Pie

Answer:

It's D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The shorter period loan has the same total interest for the same loan amount, so it has the higher effective interest rate: 80/12 is higher than 89/14.

WILL GIVE BRANLIEST!!! Pls help! Determine the coordinates of the point on the straight line y=3x+1 that is equidistant from the
iren [92.7K]

Let , coordinate of points are P( h,k ).

Also , k = 3h + 1

Distance of P from origin :

d=\sqrt{h^2+k^2}

Distance of P from ( -3, 4 ) :

d=\sqrt{(h+3)^2+(k-4)^2}

Now , these distance are equal :

h^2+(3h+1)^2=(h+3)^2+(3h+1-4)^2\\\\h^2+(3h+1)^2=(h+3)^2+(3h-3)^2

Solving above equation , we get :

P=(\dfrac{16}{21},\dfrac{23}{7})

Hence , this is the required solution.

According to a survey, 10% of Americans are afraid to fly. Suppose 1100 Americans are sampled. a) What is the probability that 1
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

a) 14.46%

b) 0.00%

c) 1.54%

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the survey, 10% of Americans are afraid to fly.

This means p=0.10 and q=1-0.10=0.90.

If 1100 Americans are sampled, then the sample size is n=1100 .

The mean of the distribution is \mu=np.

This means \mu=1100\times 0.10=110

The standard deviation is \sigma=\sqrt{npq}

We substitute the values to get:

\sigma=\sqrt{1100\times 0.1\times 0.9}=9.95

a) We want to find the probability that 121 or more Americans in the survey are afraid to fly.

We first apply the continuity correction factor to get: P(X\ge121)=P(X\:>\:121-0.5)\\P(X\ge121)=P(X\:>\:120.5)

We now convert to Z-scores to get:

P(X\:>\:120.5)=P(z\:>\:\frac{120.5-110}{9.95})=1.06\\

From the standard normal distribution table P(z>1.06)=0.1446

As a percentage, the probability is 14.46%

b) We want to find the probability that 165 or more Americans in the survey are afraid to fly.

We apply the CCF to get:

P(X\ge165)=P(X\:>\:165-0.5)\\P(X\ge165)=P(X\:>\:164.5)

We convert to z-scores:

P(X\:>\:164.5)=P(z\:>\:\frac{164.5-110}{9.95})=5.48

From the normal distribution, P(z>164.5)=0

c)  First, 8% of 1100 is 88.

We want to find the probability that 88 or less Americans in the survey are afraid to fly.

We apply the CCF to get:

P(X\le88)=P(X\:

We convert to z-scores:

P(X\:

From the normal distribution, P(z>\:-2.16)=0.0154

As a percentage, we get 1.54%

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

The Answer is b. 1.5Million

Step-by-step explanation:

Adult Population = 50 Million

Labor-Force Rate = 60%

Total Labor Force of Adult population = 50Million*60% = 30Million

Unemployment Rate = 5%

People Unemployment =

Total Labor force of Adult population * Unemployment rate

People Unemployment = 30Millon*5%

People Unemployment = 1.5Million
