Statisticians for a roadside assistance company interviewed 50,000 randomly selected United States (US) households. Of those, 15

,595 reported that they had traveled 50 or more miles from home between December 23 and January 4. If there are 115,000,000 US households, approximately how many of them do the interviews suggest traveled 50 or more miles from home at that time?

Answer:

35,868,500 people

Step-by-step explanation:

#We calculate the probability of those who traveled 50+ miles.

-Probability is the likelihood of success. n=50000, p=15595:

P(X\geq 50)=\frac{15595}{50000}\\\\=0.3119

-The US population is 115000000. We determine what fraction of the actual population traveled 50+ miles:

E(X)=np, N=115000000,p=0.3119\\\\=0.3119\times 115000000\\\\\\=35868500

Hence, 35,868,500 people traveled 50+ miles.

A convex lens has a diameter of 30 mm and a depth of 5 mm at the center. How far from the vertex is the focus?
natima [27]
The formula for determining the distance of the focus from the vertex is as follows,

     f = x² / 4a

where f is focus, x is the radius (half the value of diameter), and a is the depth. Substituting the known values to the given equation,

   f = (30/2 mm)² / (4)(5 mm)

    f = 11.25 mm

<em>ANSWER: 11.25 mm</em>

On a coordinate plane, a piecewise function has 3 lines. The graph shows cleaning time in hours on the x-axis and total cost in
sveta [45]

Answer:

  C. (2, 6] hour jobs cost $100

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's consider each of these statements in view of the graph:

  1. A cleaning time of 2 hours will cost $100. -- The closed circle at (2, 50) tells you the cost of a 2-hour job is $50, not $100.
  2. A cleaning time of 6 hours will cost $150. -- The closed circle at (6, 100) tells you the cost of a 6-hour job is $100, not $150.
  3. Cost is a fixed rate of $100 for jobs requiring more than 2 hours, up to a maximum of 6 hours. -- The line between the open circle at (2, 100) and the closed circle at (6, 100) tells you this is TRUE.
  4. Cost is a fixed rate of $200 for jobs that require at least 6 hours. -- "At least 6 hours" means "greater than or equal to 6 hours." The closed circle at (6, 100) means a 6-hour job is $100, not $200.

Assume that triangle GHI is congruent to LMN. Which of the following congruence statement are correct? check all that apply
Airida [17]
If two triangles are congruent, then they have equal corresponding angles and also the sides.
Therefore, if GHI is congruent to LMN, then GH =LM, HI=MN and GI=LN, and also angle G=angle L, Angle H=angle M, while angle I = angle N, therefore the correct answers is a) ∠M= ∠H, c) ∠L=∠G. and e)IH=NM.
