Answer:
b-about 5 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
For an object in uniform circular motion (=moving at constant velocity), the time taken to cover a certain distance is given by:
where
d is the distance covered
v is the speed of the object
In this problem we have:
d = 10 miles is the distance covered by both cars
Car A travels at a speed of
So the time it takes is
Car B travels at a speed of
So the time it takes is
So the difference in time is
So, the closest answer is
b-about 5 minutes
Answer:
(a) = 40%
(b) = 28%
(c) Expected value = $222,500
Standard deviation = $7,216.88
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a normal distribution with a = 210,000 and b =235,000
(a) The probability that he will get at least $225,000 for the house is:
(b)The probability he will get less than $217,000 is:
(c) The expected value (E) and the standard deviation (S) are:
It depends on how b approaches 0
If b is positive and gets closer to zero, then we say b is approaching 0 from the right, or from the positive side. Let's say a = 1. The equation a/b turns into 1/b. Looking at a table of values, 1/b will steadily increase without bound as positive b values get closer to 0.
On the other side, if b is negative and gets closer to zero, then 1/b will be negative and those negative values will decrease without bound. So 1/b approaches negative infinity if we approach 0 on the left (or negative) side.
The graph of y = 1/x shows this. See the diagram below. Note the vertical asymptote at x = 0. The portion to the right of it has the curve go upward to positive infinity as x approaches 0. The curve to the left goes down to negative infinity as x approaches 0.
