Answer:

<em>Scott will take 221 minutes to run 52 km</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Speed</u>

The speed of an object can be calculated with the formula:

$\displaystyle v=\frac{d}{t}$

Where d is the distance traveled and t is the time taken.

Scott can run d=20 km in 85 minutes. Thus, his speed is:

$\displaystyle v=\frac{20}{85}\ km/min$

Now he wants to know how many minutes it will take him to run d=52 km. Solving the formula for t:

$\displaystyle t=\frac{d}{v}$

Since the speed has been already determined:

$\displaystyle t=\frac{52}{\frac{20}{85}}$

Multiplying by the reciprocal of the denominator:

$\displaystyle t=52*\frac{85}{20}$

t = 221 min

Scott will take 221 minutes to run 52 km

This is a problem on hypothesis testing on the difference of two dependent means. To solve for this one, the difference for each pair should be solved.

After it, the mean and standard deviation of the differences should also be calculated. Then, we state the null and alternative hypotheses.

The null hypothesis is $H_{0}: \mu_d=0$
The alternative hypothesis is $H_a: \mu_d\ \textgreater \ 0$

These are the required hypotheses <span>to see whether the number of graffiti incidents declined. </span>

I do not understand how to do this at all. Will someone please help me???

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: The temperature must be greater than -40, and lower than 140. -40 < T < 140

Part B: The graph is a number line between -40 and 140, with open circles at -40 and 140. The solutions are temperatures at which the gas will remain liquid.

Part C: No, -49 is less than -40, so the gas would have frozen.

josh is 6 years older than 4 times Kim's age. The sum of their ages is less than 31. what is the oldest Kim could be? show all y

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

4 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets say that Josh's age is j and Kim's age is k. As Josh is 6 years older than 4 times Kim's age, we can write this as an equation:

j = 4k + 6

This is, John's age is equal to four times Kim's plus 6 years.

We then know that, when summed their ages is less than 31, so:

k + j < 31

Replace John's age by our first equation:

k + 4k + 6 < 31

5k + 6 < 31

Subtract 6 in both sides:

5k + 6 - 6 < 31 - 6

5k < 25

Dividing both sides by 5:

5k/5 < 25/5

k < 5

So, Kim's age MUST be less than 5.

If we talk about discrete values, this is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...., we will say than the oldest Kim could be is 4. If Kim is 5 years old, the sum of ages is 31 and we need it ti be LESS than 31. (we are not considering fractional numbers as 4.5 years old).

So, Kim can be, at maximum, 4 years old.
