Answer:
□ The temperature at a specific location as a function of time.
□ The temperature at a specific time as a function of the distance due west from New York City.
□ The altitude above sea level as a function of the distance due west from New York City.
Step-by-step explanation:
Temperature tends to vary continuously over distance and time.
Altitude rarely changes so abruptly we'd have to say it is a discontinuous function. Even a cliff has a (very high) defined slope.
Taxi charges tend to increment according to a rate schedule. That is, for each passing minute or fraction of a mile, the amount due jumps to a new value. We'd have to say those are discontinuous.
The nature of electrical circuits is such that current is never discontinuous. Even when the circuit is disconnected by a switch, the arcing at the switch contacts ensures the current is continuous as it rapidly goes to zero.
Answer: it moves at a constant speed and stays in the same direction
Step-by-step explanation:
It does this because there is no friction or nothing pushing on it therefore there is nothing to slow it down or speed it up
Answer:
40%.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that the owners of Expo Company John Smith and Susan Jones invested $240,000 and $160,000 into the business respectively. We are asked to find the percentage of business owned by Susan.
Let us figure out total money invested in business by adding the money invested by John Smith and Susan Jones.


Now we will find $160,000 is what percent of $400,000.



Therefore, Susan owns 40% of the business.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Previous concepts
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".
Solution to the problem
The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:
(1)
Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of
and
, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.025,0,1)".And we see that
Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):
