Answer:

10 Seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of Elene = 3m/s

Speed of Abbi = 2m/s

Let the  time be t  seconds taken by Elene to  catch abbi.

Distance for any speed S and time is calculated by formula given below

Distance = speed * time

  • distance covered by Elene in time t =  3m/s * t = 3t m  -->equation A
  • distance covered by Abbi in time t =  2m/s* t = 2t m  --> equation B

Since it is given that Elene has given abbi 10 m head start it means that

Elene has to run extra 10 meters than Abbi to catch abbi.

Thus we can say that

distance run by Elene = 10 m + distance run by Abbi

Substituting that value distance run by Elene from equation A

and distance run by Abbi from equation B

we have

3t = 2t +10

=>3t - 2t = 10

=> t = 10

Therefore it will take 10 second for elene to catch abbi.

The heights of a random sample of 50 college students showed a mean of 174.5 centimeters and a standard deviation of 6.9 centime
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

For me, the first step to any statistics exercise is to determine what is the variable of interest and it's distribution.

In this example the variable is:

X: height of a college student. (cm)

There is no information about the variable distribution. To estimate the population mean you need a variable with at least a normal distribution since the mean is a parameter of it.

The option you have is to apply the Central Limit Theorem.

The central limit theorem states that if you have a population with probability function f(X;μ,δ²) from which a random sample of size n is selected. Then the distribution of the sample mean tends to the normal distribution with mean μ and variance δ²/n when the sample size tends to infinity.

As a rule, a sample of size greater than or equal to 30 is considered sufficient to apply the theorem and use the approximation.

The sample size in this exercise is n=50 so we can apply the theorem and approximate the distribution of the sample mean to normal:

X[bar]~~N(μ;σ2/n)

Thanks to this approximation you can use an approximation of the standard normal to calculate the confidence interval:

98% CI

1 - α: 0.98

⇒α: 0.02

α/2: 0.01

Z_{1-\alpha /2}= Z_{1-0.01}= Z_{0.99} =2.334

X[bar] ± Z_{1-\alpha /2} * \frac{S}{\sqrt{n} }

174.5 ± 2.334* \frac{6.9}{\sqrt{50} }

[172.22; 176.78]

With a confidence level of 98%, you'd expect that the true average height of college students will be contained in the interval [172.22; 176.78].

I hope it helps!

What are the coordinates of point S? On a coordinate plane, point S is 0.75 units to the left and 0.5 units up. (Negative three-
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

The coordinates of S is ( \frac{-3}{4}, \frac{1}{2})

Step-by-step explanation:

We are supposed to find the coordinates of point S

Point S is 0.75 units to the left

So, x coordinate of point S = -0.75 = \frac{-3}{4}

Now we are given that point S is 0.5 units up.

So, y coordinate of point S = 0.5 = \frac{1}{2}

So, The coordinates of S is ( \frac{-3}{4}, \frac{1}{2})

So, Option A is true .
