Answer:

7 hours 30min

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one :

Given data

We are told that Erica can paint 1 room in 5hours

Her work rate is 1/5 room per hour

And also with the assistance of her friend they can paint 1 room in 3 hours

Hence their combined work rate is 1/3 room per hour

Step two

The combined work expression is

1/A+1/B=1/T

Where A=Erica's work rate

B=Rachael's work rate

T=combined work

1/5+1/B=1/3

1/B=1/3-1/5

1/B=5-3/15

1/B=2/15

B=15/2

B=7.5 hours

It will take Rachel 7 hours 30min to paint the room

3.) AI 65 kom hr. Alfred can reach home in 50 minutes. At what speed should he drive his car

Yanka [14]

Answer:

He should drive his car at a speed of 81.25 kilometers per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

With a velocity of 65 kilometers per hour, he reaches home in 50 minutes. What speed he needs to reach home 10 minutes earlier, that is, in 50 - 10 = 40 minutes?

To solve this, we use the relation between inverse proportion variables(as the velocity increases, time needed decreases), that is, a rule of three with line multiplication, instead of cross. So

65 kilometers per hour - 50 minutes

x kilometers per hour - 40 minutes

So

$40x = 65*50$

$x = \frac{65*50}{40}$

$x = 81.25$

He should drive his car at a speed of 81.25 kilometers per hour.

Kate recorded what she ate for breakfast every day for six months. Her findings are shown in the graph below. A bar graph titled

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer: The correct answer is option B: 19%

Step-by-step explanation: The bar graph according to the question has the following set of data;

Cereal ----------34

Eggs and Bacon ----------21

Pastries ----------39

Bagels ----------48

Waffles ----------38

The total from this set of data is 180 (that is the summation of all the observed data). The portion taken up by cereals can be derived as follows;

Cereal = (34/180) x 360

Cereal = 68 degrees

Note that we have used degrees as the unit since the data would be transferred to a pie chart. Hence on the pie chart it occupies 68 degrees of the entire 360 degrees.

In order to find out what percentage this represents we can now express 68 degrees as a percentage as follows;

Cereal = (68/360) x 100

Cereal = 18.8888888

Cereal ≈ 19

Therefore cereal occupies 19 percent of the pie chart.

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Option A , should not be rejected

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Sample 1 $n=25$

Standard deviation 1 $\sigma_1=30$

Sample 2 $n=16$

Standard deviation 2 $\sigma_2=20$

Level of confidence $\alpha=95\%=>0.95$

Generally The Hypothesis are given as

$H_0:\sigma_1^2=\sigma_1^2$

$H_1:\sigma_1^2\neq \sigma_1^2$

Generally the equation for test Statistics is mathematically given by

$T=\frac{\sigma_1^2}{\sigma_2^2}$

$T=\frac{30^2}{20^2}$

$T=2.25$

Therefore

Critical Value

$X=(\alpha,df_1)$

$X'=(\alpha,df_2)$

Where

$df=n-1$

Therefore

$X=(0.95,24)$

$X'=(0.95,15)$

From Table

$T_{Critical}=T_x,T_{x'}$

$T_{Critical}=0.41,2.701$

Therefore

$T_x$

Hence,We fail to reject the Null Hypothesis $H_0$

Option A , should not be rejected
