Answer:

5.14 mi/h

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the average speed, we simply find the total distance traveled by Tom and divide that by the total time the entire journey took him.

Average speed = (total distance traveled) / (total time taken)

TOTAL DISTANCE TRAVELED

He traveled 3 miles to and 3 miles fro. Hence:

3 + 3 = 6 miles

TOTAL TIME TAKEN

He spent ½ hr to go and ⅔ hr to return back. Hence:

½ + ⅔ = 7/6 hr

Therefore, the average speed is:

v = 6 / (7/6)

v = 36 / 7 = 5.14 mi/h

Tom's average speed was 5.14 mi/h.

A lightbulb has a normally distributed light output with mean 5000 end foot-candles and standard deviation of 50 end foot-candle
Blizzard [7]
To find the specification limit such that only 0.5% of the bulbs will not exceed this limit we proceed as follows;
From the z-table, a z-score of -2.57 cuts off 0.005 in the left tail; given the formula for z-score
(x-μ)/σ
we shall have:
(x-5000)/50=-2.57
solving for x we get:
x-5000=-128.5
x=-128.5+5000
x=4871.50

<span>7x-6y=14
6x-y=-17
x = -4  y = -7 (SOLUTION) ; in ordered pair form (x,y) = (-4,-7)

</span><span>3x+8y=16
-9x-24y=-48
INFINITE SOLUTIONS: general form = (x,y) = ( x, -(3x/8)+2 )


Edited later:
</span>7x-6y=14
6x-y=-17
From second equation 6x - y = -17, we have y = 6x +17. Substitute this in the first equation to get
7x-6y=14
>> 7x-6(6x+17)=14
>> 7x-36x-102=14
>> 7x-36x=102+14
>> -29x=116
>> x=116/(-29)
>> x=-4

Now plug this value in y = 6x +17, to get
y = 6(-4) + 17 = -24 +17 = -7

So x = -4, y = -7 is the solution.
