Wanda reaches hector at 4.5h. Wanda can not reach hector before the race ends, since at the speed he is going (16m / h) he would reach when both are at mile 72 and the race is 42 miles.
Wanda needs to increase her speed to 21m / h to catch Hector at the finish line.I attach the answers.

Sue scored a total of 35 points in two games.she scored 6 times as many points in the second game than in the first.how many mor
kirill115 [55]
Okay,
Both games are: 35
First game: ?
Second game: 6 more than the first.
So,
first we subtract 6 from 35.
35 - 6 = 29
Divide by 2.
49 divided by 2 = 14.5
Add the 6 point= 14.5 + 6 = 20.5
To make sure add.
First game: 14.5
Second game:20.5
14.5 + 20.5 = 35

Ben Carson was loaned $125.00 to pay $6.00 interest for $100.00 every week ,after 3 weeks how much do he pay back to clear the d
Ghella [55]

Answer:

Total amount pay after 3 week = $147.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount of loan taken = $125

Amount interest per $100 = $6 per week

Find:

Total amount pay after 3 week

Computation:

Amount of interest per week = 125[6/100]

Amount of interest per week = $7.5 per week

Amount of interest in three week = 3 x Amount of interest per week

Amount of interest in three week = 3 x 7.5

Amount of interest in three week = $22.5

Total amount pay after 3 week = Amount of loan taken + Amount of interest in three week

Total amount pay after 3 week = 125 + 22.5

Total amount pay after 3 week = $147.5

A mattress store sold 1,330 mattresses in one year. If 30% of the mattresses sold were king size mattresses, how many king size
kodGreya [7K]

The total number of mattresses that are sold in a year = 1,330

Percentage of King size mattresses sold = 30% = 30/100 = 0.3

Next, we have to calculate the actual number sold by using the formula given below:

Number of king size mattresses sold = Total mattresses sold in a year * percentage of king size mattresses sold

Number of King Size mattresses sold = 1,330*0.3 = 399

Number of king size mattresses sold = 399

The caller times at a customer service center has an exponential distribution with an average of 22 seconds. Find the probabilit
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

The probability that a randomly selected call time will be less than 30 seconds is 0.7443.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the caller times at a customer service center has an exponential distribution with an average of 22 seconds.

Let X = caller times at a customer service center

The probability distribution (pdf) of the exponential distribution is given by;

f(x) = \lambda e^{-\lambda x} ; x > 0

Here, \lambda = exponential parameter

Now, the mean of the exponential distribution is given by;

Mean =  \frac{1}{\lambda}  

So,  22=\frac{1}{\lambda}  ⇒ \lambda=\frac{1}{22}

SO, X ~ Exp(\lambda=\frac{1}{22})  

To find the given probability we will use cumulative distribution function (cdf) of the exponential distribution, i.e;

    P(X\leq x) = 1 - e^{-\lambda x}  ; x > 0

Now, the probability that a randomly selected call time will be less than 30 seconds is given by = P(X < 30 seconds)

        P(X < 30)  =  1 - e^{-\frac{1}{22} \times 30}

                         =  1 - 0.2557

                         =  0.7443
