Answer:

1 2/9 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

55 mph

55 / 60 = 11/12

11/12 of a mile = 1 minute

45 mph

45 / 60 = 3/4

3/4 of a mile = 1 minute

11/12 divided by 3/4

11/12 * 4/3

We can cross-cancel

11/3 * 1/3 = 11/9 = 1 2/9

It takes 1 2/9 minutes for the hummingbird to cross the lake

Hope this helps!

Answer:

The value of the parameter is λ is 0.03553357

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided function.

$f(x) = 0.5\lambda e^{-\lambda |x|}$ for −∞ < x < ∞.

It is given that standard deviation is given as 39.8 km.

Now we need to calculate the value of parameter λ.

The general formula for the probability density function of the double exponential distribution is: $f(x)=\frac{e^{-|\frac{x-\mu}{\beta}|}}{2\beta}$

Where μ is the location parameter and β is the scale parameter.

Compare the provided equation with the above formula we get.

$\lambda=\frac{1}{\beta}$ and μ = 0.

Standard deviation = √2β

$S.D=\sqrt{2} \beta\\\beta=\frac{39.8}{\sqrt{2}}\\\beta=28.1424$

Now substitute the value of β in $\lambda=\frac{1}{\beta}$ .

$\lambda=\frac{1}{28.1424}=0.03553357$

Hence, the value of the parameter is λ is 0.03553357

Calculate cos 0 to two decimal places

Sergio [31]

We can use the law of cosines as follows:

$7^2 = 8^2+10^2-2\cdot 8 \cdot 10 \cdot \cos(\theta)$

We can rewrite this equation as

$49 = 164-160 \cdot \cos(\theta) \iff 160 \cdot \cos(\theta) = 115 \iff \cos(\theta)=\dfrac{115}{160}\approx 0.72$
