Answer:

45 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the:

Total distance covered = 390 miles

Total time = 8 hours

Let the distance covered along the local way = L

And the distance covered along the highway = H

Along with local way,

Speed = distance/ time

20 = L / T

T = L /20 .... (1)

Along the highway,

Distance covered H = 390 - L

Let the time = t

Speed = distance/time

60 = (390 - L)/t

t = ( 390 - L)/60

But total time = T + t

That is

8 = L/20 + (390 - L)/60

The LCM at right hand side will be 60

8 = ( 3L + 390 - L )/60

Cross multiply

480 = 2L + 390

Collect the like terms

2L = 480 - 390

2L = 90

L = 90/2

L = 45 miles.

Therefore, the distance Minato drive along local roads is 45 miles

Answer:

Mean = 7

Median = 7.65

Mode = 4.4

Range = 9.9

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete as it doesn't state what to find. Lets complete the question first. The complete question states that:

Calculate the following for the data set

Mean

Median

Mode

Range

<h3>A) Mean</h3>

Mean = sum of values/ total number of values

Mean = 84/12

Mean = 7

<h3>B) Median</h3>

Arrange the data in ascending order

1.8, 2.5, 2.6, 4.4, 4.4, 7.3, 8.0, 9.5, 10.3, 10.4, 11.1, 11.7

Median = Average of middle values

Median = (7.3+8.0) / 2

Median = 7.65

<h3>C) Mode</h3>

Mode = number which appears most = 4.4

<h3>D) Range</h3>

Range = Max value - Min value

Range = 11.7 - 1.8

Range = 9.9

What are the zeros of the quadratic function f(x) = 2x2 + 8x – 3?
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

  x=-2-\sqrt{\dfrac{11}{2}}\ \text{and}\ x=-2+\sqrt{\dfrac{11}{2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

My favorite way to go at this is to look at a graph. It shows the vertex at (-2, -11). Since the leading coefficient is 2, this means the roots are ...

  -2\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{11}{2}}

where the 2 in the denominator of the radical is the leading coefficient.

__

You can also use other clues:

  • the axis of symmetry is -b/(2a) = -8/(2(2)) = -2, so answer choices C and D don't work
  • the single change in sign in the coefficients (+ + -) tells you there is one positive real root, so answer choice B doesn't work.

The first answer choice is the only one with values symmetrical about -2 and one of them positive.

__

You may be expected to use the quadratic formula:

  x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^-4ac}}{2a}=\dfrac{-8\pm\sqrt{8^2-4(2)(-3)}}{2(2)}\\\\=\dfrac{-8}{4}\pm\dfrac{\sqrt{88}}{4}=-2\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{11}{2}}

A recent survey in the N.Y. Times Almanac indicated that 48.8% of families own stock. A broker wanted to determine if this surve
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

There is enough statistical evidence to support the claim that the survey is not accurate.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have  to perform a test of hypothesis on the proportion.

The claim is that the proportion of families that own stock differs from 48.8%.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis are:

H_0: \pi=0.488\\\\H_a:\pi\neq0.488

The significance level is 0.05.

The sample. of size n=250, has a proportion of p=0.568.

p=X/n=142/250=0.568

The standard error of the proportion is

\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.488*0.512}{250}}=\sqrt{0.00099}=0.032

The z-statistic can now be calculated:

z=\dfrac{p-\pi-0.5/n}{\sigma_p}=\dfrac{0.568-0.488-0.5/250}{0.032}=\dfrac{0.078}{0.032}=2.4375

The P-value for this two-tailed test is then:

P-value=2*P(z>2.4375)=0.015

As the P-value is smaller than the significance level, the effect is significant. The null hypothesis is rejected.

There is enough evidence to support the claim that the survey is not accurate.

The sum of two numbers is 90. The larger number is 14 more than 3 times the smaller number. Find the numbers
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

The numbers are 19 and 71.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent the two numbers.  Then x + y = 90.  

Also, if we assume that the larger number is y, then y = 3x + 14.

We must solve this system of linear equations.  Since we already have the result of solution for y  (y = 3x + 14), let's use the substitution method to find the solution:

x + y = 90 becomes x + 3x + 14 = 90, or:

4x = 76.  Thus, x = 76/4, or 19.       If x = 19, then y = 3(19) + 14, or y = 71.

The numbers are 19 and 71.

Note that these add up to 90, as they must, and that 71 is 14 more than 3 times 19.

The picture shows the footprints of a man walking. The pace length P is the distance between the rear of two consecutive footpri
Rina8888 [55]

Bernard’s walking speed is 140 meters per minute

Bernard’s walking speed is 8.4 kilometers per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The pace length P is the distance between the rear of two consecutive footprints

The formula, n P = 140, gives an approximate relationship between n and P where,

  • n = number of steps per minute
  • P = pace length in meters
  • Bernard knows his pace length is 0.80 meters
  • The formula applies to Bernard’s walking

We need to calculate Bernard’s walking speed in meters per minute and in kilometers per hour

∵ n = number of steps per minute

∴ n unit is number / minute

∵ P = pace length in meters

∴ P unit is meter

- That means n P unit is meters/minute

∴ n P represents the speed in meters per second

∵ The formula applies to Bernard’s walking

∵ His pace length is 0.80 meters

∵ n P = 140

∴ n(0.8) = 140

- Divide both sides by 0.8

∴ n = 175

- That means he moves 175 steps per minute

∵ The distance he walks in minute = 175 × 0.8 = 140 meters/minute

∴ His speed is 140 meters per minute

Bernard’s walking speed is 140 meters per minute

∵ 1 km = 1000 m

∵ 1 hour = 60 minutes

- Divide the meters by 1000 and the minute by 60 to change

   from meters per minute to kilometers per hour

∴ His walking speed = \frac{140}{1000} ÷ \frac{1}{60}

- Change ÷ to × and reciprocal the fraction after the division sign

∴ His walking speed =  \frac{140}{1000} × \frac{60}{1} = 8.4 km/h

Bernard’s walking speed is 8.4 kilometers per hour
