Two commuters leave the same city at the same time but travel in opposite directions. One car is traveling at an average speed o

f 63 miles per hour, and the other car is traveling at an average speed of 59 miles per hour. How many hours will it take before the cars are 610 miles apart?

Answer:

5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to relate speed, distance and time is:

D = V * t

Where D is the distance, V is the speed and t is the time.

As they are in opposite directions, we need to sum the speed.

So the total speed is:

V = 63 + 59 = 122 mph

So using this value and V and using D = 610, we have:

610 = 122 * t

t = 610 / 122 = 5 hours

So they will be 610 miles apart after 5 hours.

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%

There are 3 feet in 1 yard. This is equivalent to 12 feet in 4 yards. Which proportion can be used to represent this?
Troyanec [42]

Proportion which can be used to represent equivalency of 3 feet in 1 yard and 12 feet in 4 yard is 3 : 1 : : 12 : 4

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that

There are 3 feet in one yard  

And there are 12 feet in 4 yard  

Number of feet in one yard = 3 that is feet  : yard = 3 : 1  

Number of feet in 4 yards = 12 that is feet : yard = 12 : 4  

And 3 feet in 1 yard is equivalent to 12 feet in 4 yards means

\frac{3}{1}=\frac{12}{4}

That is 3 : 1 : : 12 : 4

A proportion is statement that two ratios are equal. It can be written in two ways: as two equal fractions a/b = c/d; or using a colon, a : b = c : d

Hence proportion which can be used to represent equivalency of 3 feet in 1 yard and 12 feet in 4 yard is 3 : 1 :: 12 : 4

Suppose the firm in this example considers a second product that has a unit profit of $5 and requires 2 hours of production time
user100 [1]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question

Recall the production model from Section 1.3:

Max 10x

s.t. 5x ≤ 40

x ≥ 0

Suppose the firm in this example considers a second product that has a unit profit of $5 and requires 2 hours for each unit produced. Assume total production capacity remains 40 units. Use y as the number of units of product 2 produced. . Show the mathematical model when both products are considered simultaneously.

Answer:

Max Profit: 10x + 5y

5x + 2y ≤ 40

x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0

Explanation:

x= number of units of product 1 produced

y = number of units of product 2 produced

Since the first product, x, has a unit profit of $10 and Max1 is 10x

Second product, y, has a unit profit of $5, Max2 = 5y

The maximum profit when both products are considered simultaneously is 10x + 5y

Max Profit = 10x + 5y

Time required for each unit of x is 5hours

Therefore, time required for x units is 5x hours

Time required for each unit of y is 2hours  

Therefore, time required for y units is 2y hours

Time required for the simultaneous production of both products is 5x + 2y

Since production capacity remains 40 units, 5x+2y ≤40

NB: The values of x and y cannot be negative

Given: Circle X with a Radius r and circle Y with radius s Prove: Circle x is similar to circle y
lana [24]

Two figures are similar if one is the scaled version of the other.

This is always the case for circles, because their geometry is fixed, and you can't modify it in anyway, otherwise it wouldn't be a circle anymore.

To be more precise, you only need two steps to prove that every two circles are similar:

  1. Translate one of the two circles so that they have the same center
  2. Scale the inner circle (for example) unit it has the same radius of the outer one. You can obviously shrink the outer one as well

Now the two circles have the same center and the same radius, and thus they are the same. We just proved that any two circles can be reduced to be the same circle using only translations and scaling, which generate similar shapes.

Recapping, we have:

  1. Start with circle X and radius r
  2. Translate it so that it has the same center as circle Y. This new circle, say X', is similar to the first one, because you only translated it.
  3. Scale the radius of circle X' until it becomes s. This new circle, say X'', is similar to X' because you only scaled it

So, we passed from X to X' to X'', and they are all similar to each other, and in the end we have X''=Y, which ends the proof.
