Bradley is returning home from a place that is 2 kilometers away. The function y = 2,000 − 90x represents Bradley's distance fro

In an algebraic equation, you should have at least 2 variables: the independent and the dependent. The independent variable in this case, is the parameter that cannot be controlled - time. This is expressed in minutes using the variable x. The dependent variable is the parameter you want to measure - the distance expressed using the variable y. Since the problem states a parameter of distance in terms of 2 kilometers, y=2. Therefore, I think the choices would be about the amount of minutes it would take for Bradley to cover this distance. Assuming this is the case, then the answer would be:
 
2 = 2000 - 90x
90x = 2000-2
90x = 1998
x = 1998/90
x = 22.3 minutes
 
It would take 22.3 minutes for Bradley to cover the 2 kilometers so that he could get home.

wariber [46]

Answer:

27m

Step-by-step explanation:

It's the Pythagorean Theorem.

20^2+18^2=c^2

400+324=c^2

724=c^2

take the square root of both sides

26.9m=c

to the nearest meter = 27

In professional basketball games during 2009-2010, when Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers shot a pair of free throws, 8 time
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Is plausible that the successive throws are independent

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Table with info given

The observed values are given by the following table

__________________________________________________

First shot          Made          Second shot missed           Total

__________________________________________________

Made                  152                       33                                185

Missed                37                         8                                  45

__________________________________________________

Total                    189                       41                                230

2) Calculations and test

We are interested on check independence and for this we need to conduct a chi square test, the next step would be find the expected value:

Null hypothesis: Independence between two successive free throws

Alternative hypothesis: No Independence between two successive free throws

_____________________________________________________

First shot                    Made                                    Second shot missed

_____________________________________________________

Made                  189(185)/230=152.0217                41(185)/230=32.9783

Missed                189(45)/230=36.9783                  41(45)/230=8.0217

_____________________________________________________

On this case all the expected values are higher than 5 and the sample size 230 is enough to apply the chi squared test.

3) Calculate the chi square statistic

The statistic for this case is given by:

\chi_{cal}^2 =\sum \frac{(O_i -E_i)}{E_i}

Where O represent the observed values and E the expected values. Replacing the values that we got we have this

\chi_{cal}^2 =\frac{(152-152.0217)^2}{152.0217}+\frac{(33-32.9783)^2}{32.9783}+\frac{(37-36.9783)^2}{36.9783}+\frac{(8-8.0217)^2}{8.0217}=0.000003098+0.00001428+0.00001273+0.0.00005870=0.00008881

Now with the calculated value we can find the degrees of freedom

df=(r-1)(c-1)=(2-1)(2-1)=1 on this case r means the number of rows and c the number of columns.

Now we can calculate the p value

p_v =P(\chi^2 >0.00008881)=0.9925

On this case the pvalue is a very large value and that indicates that we can fail to reject the null hypothesis of independence. So is plausible that the successive throws are independent.

The infield of a baseball field is a square
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

  106.1 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

You know the diagonal of a square is √2 times the length of one side, so the distance from 3rd to 1st is 90√2 feet ≈ 127.2792 ft.

The speed is the ratio of distance to time:

  speed = distance/time = 127.2972 ft/(1.2 s) ≈ 106.1 ft/s.

_____

In case you have never figured or seen the computation of the diagonal of a square (the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle), consider the square with side lengths 1. The diagonal will cut the square into halves that are isosceles right triangles with leg lengths 1. Then the Pythagorean theorem can be used to find the diagonal length d:

  d² = 1² + 1²

  d² = 2

  d = √2

Since this is the diagonal for a side length of 1, any other side length will serve as a scale factor for this value. A square with a side length of 90 ft will have a diagonal measuring 90√2 ft.

Direct Mailing Company sells computers and computer parts by mail. The company claims that more than 90% of all orders are maile
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

We conclude that less than or equal to 90% of all orders are mailed within 72 hours after they are received which means the company's claim is not true.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the company claims that more than 90% of all orders are mailed within 72 hours after they are received. The quality control department at the company often takes samples to check if this claim is valid.

A recently taken sample of 175 orders showed that 161 of them were mailed within 72 hours.

<u><em>Let p = percentage of all orders that are mailed within 72 hours.</em></u>

SO, Null Hypothesis, H_0 : p \leq 90%   {means that less than or equal to 90% of all orders are mailed within 72 hours after they are received}

Alternate Hypothesis, H_A : p > 90%   {means that more than 90% of all orders are mailed within 72 hours after they are received}

The test statistics that will be used here is <u>One-sample z proportion</u> <u>statistics</u>;

                                T.S.  = \frac{\hat p-p}{{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } } } }  ~ N(0,1)

where, \hat p = proportion of orders that were mailed within 72 hours in a sample of 175 =  \frac{161}{175}\times 100  = 92%

           n = sample of orders = 175

So, <u><em>test statistics</em></u>  =  \frac{0.92-0.90}{{\sqrt{\frac{0.92(1-0.92)}{175} } } } }

                               =  0.975

The value of the test statistics is 0.975.

<em>Now at 1% significance level, the z table gives critical value of 2.3263 for right-tailed test. Since our test statistics is less than the critical value of z as 0.975 < 2.3263, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region due to which </em><em><u>we fail to reject our null hypothesis</u></em><em>.</em>

Therefore, we conclude that less than or equal to 90% of all orders are mailed within 72 hours after they are received which means the company's claim is not true.
