Question:
You are in a bike race. When you get to the first checkpoint, you are 2/5 of the distance to the second checkpoint. When you get to the second check point, you are 1/4 of the distance to the finish. If the entire race is 40 miles, what is the distance between the start and the first check point?
Answer: 4 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Let distance between start to first checkpoint = x
First checkpoint to second checkpoint = 2/5 of x
Distance of start to checkpoint 1 = ( 2/5 of start to checkpoint 2)
Distance of start to checkpoint 2 = (1/4 of start to finish)
If start to checkpoint 2 = 1/4 of start to finish
Then,
Distance of start to checkpoint 1 = ( 2/5 * 1/4 of start to finish)
Distance of start to checkpoint 1 = 2/20 of start to finish = 1/10 of start to finish
Entire race = 40 miles = distance from start to finish
1/ 10 of 40
= ( 1/10) × 40
= 4 miles
Answer:
There is no significant evidence which shows that there is a difference in the driving ability of students from West University and East University, <em>assuming a significance level 0.1</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let p1 be the proportion of West University students who involved in a car accident within the past year
Let p2 be the proportion of East University students who involved in a car accident within the past year
Then
p1=p2
p1≠p2
The formula for the test statistic is given as:
z=
where
- p1 is the <em>sample</em> proportion of West University students who involved in a car accident within the past year (0.15)
- p2 is the <em>sample</em> proportion of East University students who involved in a car accident within the past year (0.12)
- p is the pool proportion of p1 and p2 (
) - n1 is the sample size of the students from West University (100)
- n2 is the sample size ofthe students from East University (100)
Then we have z=
≈ 0.6208
Since this is a two tailed test, corresponding p-value for the test statistic is ≈ 0.5347.
<em>Assuming significance level 0.1</em>, The result is not significant since 0.5347>0.1. Therefore we fail to reject the null hypothesis at 0.1 significance
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find the value of x
we know that
r is the midpoint of qs
so
QR=RS
QS=QR+RS------> QS=2RS -----> equation A
RT=RS+ST ----> equation B
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
Substitute the given values in the equation B and solve for x





step 2
Find the value of RS

substitute the value of x


step 3
Find the value of QS
Remember equation A
QS=2RS
so
