Answer:

2.1 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

you can see a drawing of the situation in the attached picture (you need to draw all the places mentioned and the distance between them),

this way we can form a right triangle between the school and the hospital with measures of sides: 1.7 and 1.2 miles

and the green line is the straight line between the school and the hospital, so you need pythagoras to find the value:

$\sqrt{1.7^2+1.2^2}\\=\sqrt{2.89+1.44}\\=\sqrt{4.33} \\ =2.081$

rounding to the nearest tenth:

2.1 miles

Julissa is running a 10-kilometer race at a constant pace. After running for 18 minutes, she completes 2 kilometers. After runni

trasher [3.6K]

For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.

We have then:

t: the time in minutes

k: the number of kilometers

The relationship between both variables is direct.

Therefore, the function is:

$k (t) = c * t$

Where, "c" is a constant of proportionality.

To determine "c" we use the following data:

After running for 18 minutes, she completes 2 kilometers.

Substituting values:

$2 = c * 18$

Clearing c we have:

$c = \frac{2}{18}$

$c = \frac{1}{9}$

Then, the equation is given by:

$k (t) = \frac{1}{9} * t$

Answer:

An equation that can be used to represent k, the number of kilometers Julissa runs in t minutes is:

$k (t) = \frac{1}{9} * t$

A recent survey of 8,000 high school students found that the mean price of a prom dress was $195.00 with a standard deviation of

KiRa [710]

To calculate the z-statistic, we must first calculate the standard error.

Standard error is standard deviation divided by the square root of the population. In this case, it is equal to 2.68.

The z-score is defined the distance from the sample to the population mean in units of standard error.

z = (195 – 208)/2.68 = -4.86

Sometimes a change of variable can be used to convert a differential equation y′=f(t,y) into a separable equation. One common ch

enot [183]

Answer:

$y=\frac{-7t^2+22t-7}{7t-22}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Initial value problem

$y'=(t+y)^2-1$ , y(3)=4

Substitute the value $z=t+y$

When t=3 and y=4 then

z=3+4=7

$y'=z^2-1$

Differentiate z w.r.t t

Then, we get

$\frac{dz}{dt}=1+y'$

$z'=1+z^2-1=z^2$

$z^{-2}dz=dt$

Integrate on both sides

$-\frac{1}{z}dz=t+C$

$z=-\frac{1}{t+C}$

Substitute t=3 and z=7

Then, we get

$7=-\frac{1}{3+C}$

$21+7C=-1$

$7C=-1-21=-22$

$C=-\frac{22}{7}$

Substitute the value of C then we get

$z=-\frac{1}{t-\frac{22}{7}}$

$z=\frac{-7}{7t-22}$

$y=z-t$

$y=\frac{-7}{7t-22}-t$

$y=\frac{-7-7t^2+22t}{7t-22}$

$y=\frac{-7t^2+22t-7}{7t-22}$

A sample of 1714 cultures from individuals in Florida diagnosed with a strep infection was tested for resistance to the antibiot

Damm [24]

Answer:

a) $p$ represent the real population proportion of people who showed partial or complete resistance to the antibiotic

b) $\hat p=\frac{973}{1714}=0.568$ represent the estimated proportion of people who showed partial or complete resistance to the antibiotic

c) We are confident (95%) that the true proportion of individuals in Florida diagnosed with a strep infection was tested for resistance to the antibiotic penicillin present partial or complete resistance to the antibiotic is between 54.5% to 59.1%.

Step-by-step explanation:

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

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".

Part a

Description in words of the parameter p

$p$ represent the real population proportion of people who showed partial or complete resistance to the antibiotic

$\hat p$ represent the estimated proportion of people who showed partial or complete resistance to the antibiotic

n=1714 is the sample size required

$z_{\alpha/2}$ represent the critical value for the margin of error

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})$

Part b

Numerical estimate for p

In order to estimate a proportion we use this formula:

$\hat p =\frac{X}{n}$ where X represent the number of people with a characteristic and n the total sample size selected.

$\hat p=\frac{973}{1714}=0.568$ represent the estimated proportion of people who showed partial or complete resistance to the antibiotic

Part c

The confidence interval for a proportion is given by this formula

$\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}$

For the 95% confidence interval the value of $\alpha=1-0.95=0.05$ and $\alpha/2=0.025$ , with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

$z_{\alpha/2}=1.96$

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:

$0.568 - 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.568(1-0.568)}{1714}}=0.545$

$0.568 + 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.56(1-0.56)}{1714}}=0.591$

And the 95% confidence interval would be given (0.545;0.591).

We are confident that about 54.5% to 59.1% of individuals in Florida diagnosed with a strep infection was tested for resistance to the antibiotic penicillin present partial or complete resistance to the antibiotic.

Charlene and Gary want to make trail mix. In order to get the right balance of ingredients for their tastes they bought 3 pounds

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

$2.96

Step-by-step explanation:

3x$2.67=$8.01

3x$2.73=$8.19

5x$3.27=$16.35

$8.01+$8.19+$16.35=$32.55

This makes 11 pounds of trail mix.

$32.55 divided by 11 = $2.9590909 = $2.96
