Answer:

P(X>14)= 1-P(X

And replacing we got:

P(X>14)= 1- \frac{14-8}{22-8}= 0.5714

The probability that a randomly selected barber needs at least 14 minutes to complete the haircut is 0.5714

Step-by-step explanation:

We define the random variable of interest as x " time it takes a barber to complete a haircuts" and we know that the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim Unif (a= 8, b=22)

And for this case we want to find the following probability:

P(X>14)

We can find this probability using the complement rule and the cumulative distribution function given by:

P(X

Using this formula we got:

P(X>14)= 1-P(X

And replacing we got:

P(X>14)= 1- \frac{14-8}{22-8}= 0.5714

The probability that a randomly selected barber needs at least 14 minutes to complete the haircut is 0.5714

Rubi tosses a quarter off the Main Street bridge into the St. John’s River. The distance, in feet, the quarter is above the wate
Masja [62]

Answer: a. 112 feet, b= 3 seconds, c= 256 feet, d = 6 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question:

Rubi tosses a quarter off the Main Street bridge into the St. John’s River. The distance, in feet, the quarter is above the water is modeled by the equation d(t) = −16t2+96t + 112, where t represents time in seconds.

Find the actual value(s) now to each question. Use the solution from the previous question to assist you with what you are actual solving for.

(a) From what height was the quarter tossed?

The quarter was tossed at 112 feet.

(b) How long does it take the quarter to reach its maximum height?

It will take ________ seconds for the quarter to reach its maximum height.

(c) What is the maximum height of the quarter?

The maximum height of the quarter is ________ feet.

(d) How much time does it take for the quarter to hit the water?

It will take ______ seconds for the quarter to hit the water.

a. Since the function is

d(t) = −16t² + 96t + 112,

The coin is tossed at 112 feet. This is because it is the the initial value of the function. It is the constant term and does not depend on any other variable.

b. To calculate the maximum height, we have to find vertex of the function, that has coordinates of h,k and,

h = -b/2a and k = f(h).

From the question, we are aware that,

a = -16, b = 96, c = 112

Using the values, the vertex will be:

h = -b/2a

= -96/(2 × -16)

= -96/-32

= 3

k = f(3)

= 16t² + 96t + 112

= -16(3)² + 96(3) + 112

= -144 + 288 + 112

= 256

The maximum height is therefore 256 feet, and time needed to reach the height will be 3 seconds.

c. The maximum height has been calculated and it is 256 feet.

d. The time it take for the quarter to hit the water will be:

= 3 seconds × 2 = 6 seconds

Since the maximum height took 3 seconds, it would take another 3 seconds to hit the water. This makes it 6 seconds

How many solutions are there to the system of equations?
hichkok12 [17]

Answer: The system of equations has NO SOLUTION.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line in Slope-Intercept form is:

y=mx+b

Where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.

Given the following system of equations:

\left \{ {{4x-5y=5} \atop {-0.08x+0.10y=0.10}} \right.

Write the first equation and solve for "y" in order to express it in Slope-Intercept form:

4x-5y=5\\\\-5y=-4x+5\\\\y=\frac{-4x}{-5}+\frac{5}{-5}\\\\y=0.8x-1

You can identify that:

m=0.8\\b=-1

Apply the same procedure with the second equation. Then:

-0.08x+0.10y=0.10\\\\0.10y=0.08x+0.10\\\\y=\frac{0.08x}{0.10} +\frac{0.10}{0.10}\\\\y=0.8x+1

You can identify that:

m=0.8\\b=1

The slopes of both lines are equal, therefore  the lines are parallel and the system has NO SOLUTION.

Leilah has not yet
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

40 * x - 600 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing is to identify the variable (x) of the equation and they will be the number of days that Leilah will take to read her flashcards. Now if you need to study 600 out of 2400, it is because you have read 1800. Therefore we have to:

2400 - 1800 = 40 * x

rearranging

40 * x - 600 = 0

The above would be the equation of the situation

A math teacher tells her students that eating a healthy breakfast on a test day will help their brain function and perform well
kogti [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

To test the claim that eating a healthy breakfast improves the performance of students on their test a math teacher randomly asked 46 students what did they have for breakfast before they took the final exam and classified them as:

<u>Group 1</u>: Ate healthy breakfast

X₁: Number of students that ate a healthy breakfast before the exam and earned 80% or higher.

n₁= 26

<u>Group 2: </u>Did not eat healthy breakfast

X₂: Number of students that did not eat a healthy breakfast before the exam and earned 80% or higher.

n₂= 20

After the test she counted the number of students that got 80% or more in the test for each group obtaining the following sample proportions:

p'₁= 0.50

p'₂= 0.40

The parameters of study are the population proportions, if the claim is true then p₁ > p₂

And you can determine the hypotheses as

H₀: p₁ ≤ p₂

H₁: p₁ > p₂

α: 0.05

Z= \frac{(p'_1-p'_2)-(p_1-p_2)}{\sqrt{p'(1-p')[\frac{1}{n_1} +\frac{1}{n_2}] } } }≈N(0;1)

pooled sample proportion: p'= \frac{x_1+x_2}{n_1+n_2} =\frac{13+8}{46} = 0.46

Z_{H_0}= \frac{(0.5-0.4)-0}{\sqrt{0.46(1-0.46)[\frac{1}{26} +\frac{1}{20}] } } }= 0.67

p-value: 0.2514

The decision rule is:

If p-value ≤ α, reject the null hypothesis.

If p-value > α, do not reject the null hypothesis.

The p-value: 0.2514 is greater than the significance level 0.05, the test is not significant.

At a 5% significance level you can conclude that the population proportion of math students that obtained at least 80% in the test and had a healthy breakfast is equal or less than the population proportion of math students that obtained at least 80% in the test and didn't have a healthy breakfast.

So having a healthy breakfast doesn't seem to improve the grades of students.

I hope this helps!
