Solution:

we are given that

My friend sets out walking at a speed of 3 miles per hour.

I set out behind her 5 minutes later at 4 miles per hour.

we have been asked to find

For how many minutes will my friend have been walking when I catch up to her?

Let the required time be t then we can write

As we know that Distance=Speed*Time

When they meet up then difference of distance traveled becomes zero.

so we can write

4(t-5)-3t=0\\
\\
4t-20-3t=0\\
\\
t=20\\

Hence the required time is 20 minutes.

(a) Kellie’s minutes-per-mile pace was faster than Ashley’s minutes-per-mile pace.

True

10/75 = 0.14

15/120 = 0.13

(b) Kellie ran 8 mph.

True

10 ÷ 1.15 = 8

(c) Ashley ran 12 mi in 90 min.

False

Speed = 7.5 mph

7.5 × 1.5 = 11.25 mi

The lifetime of a cheap light bulb is an exponential random variable with mean 36 hours. Suppose that 16 light bulbs are tested
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

P(T

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The central limit theorem states that "if we have a population with mean μ and standard deviation σ and take sufficiently large random samples from the population with replacement, then the distribution of the sample means will be approximately normally distributed. This will hold true regardless of whether the source population is normal or skewed, provided the sample size is sufficiently large".

The exponential distribution is "the probability distribution of the time between events in a Poisson process (a process in which events occur continuously and independently at a constant average rate). It is a particular case of the gamma distribution". The probability density function is given by:

P(X=x)=\lambda e^{-\lambda x}, x>0

And 0 for other case. Let X the random variable that represent "The number of years a radio functions" and we know that the distribution is given by:

X \sim Exp(\lambda=\frac{1}{16})

Or equivalently:

X \sim Exp(\mu=16)

Solution to the problem

For this case we are interested in the total T, and we can find the mean and deviation for this like this:

\bar X =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}=\frac{T}{n}

If we solve for T we got:

T= n\bar X

And the expected value is given by:

E(T) = n E(\bar X)= n \mu= 16*36=576

And we can find the variance like this:

Var(T) = Var(n\bar X)=n^2 Var(\bar X)= n^2 *\frac{\sigma^2}{n}=n \sigma^2

And then the deviation is given by:

Sd(T)= \sqrt{n} \sigma=\sqrt{16} *36=144

And the distribution for the total is:

T\sim N(n\mu, \sqrt{n}\sigma)

And we want to find this probability:

P(T< 600)

And we can use the z score formula given by:

z=\frac{T- \mu_T}{\sigma_T}

And replacing we got this:

P(T

James has a desk job and would like to become more fit, so he purchases a tread walker and a standing desk which will allow him
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

answer is

-0.245 \pm2.160(0.205)

Step-by-step explanation:

After working this way for 6 months he takes a simple random sample of 15 days. He records how long he walked that day (in hours) as recorded by his fitness watch as well as his billable hours for that day as recorded by a work app on his computer.

Slope is -0.245

Sample size  n = 15

Standard error is 0.205

Confidence level 95

Sognificance level is (100 - 95)% = 0.05

Degree of freedom is n -2 = 15 -2 = 13

Critical Value =2.16 = [using excel = TINV (0.05, 13)]

Marginal Error = Critical Value * standard error

= 2.16 * 0.205

= 0.4428

-0.245 \pm2.160(0.205)

Use the table and the data provided to analyze the following data. During gym class, the pulse rate was recorded for 19 students
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Part A

Please see attached the required stem and leaf plot

For the stem and leaf plot, the nonsplit system is used because of clarity for analysis

Part B:

From the shape of the stem and leaf plot we have that there is an average increase of pulse rate of 20 pulses in all the 19 students after the exercise

The shape of the plot is relatively the same for the before and after exercise save for the decrease in the third to the last row by one and the increase in the second to the last roe by one student

The spread remained relatively constant in both cases with the most being in the 60s range having 7 students in the before exercise and the 80s range having 8 students in the after exercise leaf plot.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data are;

67{}                                    88

67 {}                                   89

Giselle buys two types of flowers 48 pink roses and 56 white lilies she combines the two flowers to make identical bouquets with
SSSSS [86.1K]

To solve this problem, let us first lay out all the factors of each number.

48 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48

56 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, 56

The greatest number of bouquets that can be made would be equal to the greatest common factor of the two numbers. In this case it would be 8.

 

Answer:

<span>8 bouquets</span>
