Jayden has been reading a 275275275-page book for English class. On average, he has read about 101010 pages in 151515 minutes (\

text{min})(min)left parenthesis, m, i, n, right parenthesis. With a deadline looming, Jayden realizes that he won't finish in time unless he skims through the rest of the book. If he skims the book, he can cover 151515 pages in 10\,\text{min}10min10, space, m, i, n. If it takes Jayden 555 hours and 50\,\text{min}50min50, space, m, i, n to finish the book (reading and skimming combined), how many pages did Jayden have to skim through?

First let's define variables:
 r: reading
 s: skimming
 We write the system of equations that adapts to the problem:
 r + s = 275
 (15/10) r + (10/15) s = 355
 We solve the system of equations:
 r = 206
 s = 69
 Note: see attached image for system solution.
 Answer: 
 Jayden had to skim 69 pages through

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

a) P(μ-k*σ≤ Y ≤ μ+k*σ ) ≥ 0.90

a= μ-3.16*σ , b= μ+3.16*σ

b) P(Y≥ μ+3*σ ) ≥ 0.90

b= μ+3*σ

Step-by-step explanation:

from Chebyshev's inequality for Y

P(| Y - μ|≤ k*σ ) ≥ 1-1/k²

where

Y =  the number of fish that need be caught to obtain at least one of each type

μ = expected value of Y

σ = standard deviation of Y

P(| Y - μ|≤ k*σ ) = probability that Y is within k standard deviations from the mean

k= parameter

thus for

P(| Y - μ|≤ k*σ ) ≥ 1-1/k²

P{a≤Y≤b} ≥ 0.90 →  1-1/k² = 0.90 → k = 3.16

then

P(μ-k*σ≤ Y ≤ μ+k*σ ) ≥ 0.90

using one-sided Chebyshev inequality (Cantelli's inequality)

P(Y- μ≥ λ) ≥ 1- σ²/(σ²+λ²)

P{Y≥b} ≥ 0.90  →  1- σ²/(σ²+λ²)=  1- 1/(1+(λ/σ)²)=0.90 → 3= λ/σ → λ= 3*σ

then for

P(Y≥ μ+3*σ ) ≥ 0.90

Elena bikes 20 minutes each day for exercise. Write an equation to describe the relationship between her distance in miles, D, a
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

The equation to describe the relationship between Elena distance:

a) D = 4.34 miles, b) D = 4.25 miles and c) 12D = M + 3N miles.

Solution:

Given, Elena bikes 20 minutes each day for exercise.  

We have to write an equation to describe the relationship between her distance in miles, D, and her biking speed, in miles per hour,  

We know that, distance travelled = speed  time

a. At a constant speed of 13 miles per hour for the entire 20 minutes  

Her speed is 13 miles per hour.  

Then, distance D miles = 13 miles per hour  20 minutes

b. At a constant speed of 15 minutes per hour for the first 5 minutes, then at 12 miles per hour for the last 15 minutes  

Now, total distance travelled = distance travelled with 15 mph + distance travelled with 12 mph

c. At a constant speed of M miles per hour for the first 5 minutes, then at N miles per hour for the last 15 minutes

Now, total distance travelled = distance travelled with M mph + distance travelled with N mph

Hence, a) D = 4.34 miles, b) D = 4.25 miles and c) 12D = M + 3N miles.

A consensus forecast is the average of a large number of individual analysts' forecasts. Suppose the individual forecasts for a
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

a) 0.954

b) 0.937

c) 0.891  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ =  6 percent

Standard Deviation, σ = 1.3 percent

We are given that the distribution of particular interest rate is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

a) P(At least 3.8 percent.)

P(x \geq 3.8)

P( x \geq 3.8) = P( z \geq \displaystyle\frac{3.8 - 6}{1.3}) = P(z > -1.69)

= 1 - P(z < -1.69)

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(x \geq 3.8) = 1 - 0.046 = 0.954 = 95.4\%

b) P(At most 8 percent)

P(x \leq 8) = P(z \leq \displaystyle\frac{8-6}{1.3}) = P(z \leq 1.53)

Calculating the value from the standard normal table we have,

P( x \leq 8) =0.937= 93.7\%

c) P(Between 3.8 percent and 8 percent. )

P(3.8 \leq x \leq 8) = P(-1.69 \leq z \leq 1.53)\\\\= P(z \leq 1.53) - P(z < -1.69)\\= 0.937 - 0.046 = 0.891 = 89.1\%

P(3.8 \leq x \leq 8) = 89.1\%

Perry, maria, and lorna are painting rooms in a college dormitory. working alone, perry can paint a standard room in 3 hours, ma
Leviafan [203]

Answer:Perry and Lorna take the maximum time and Maria and Lorna take the minimum time when they work together.

Explanation: Since, according to the question- Perry takes time when he works alone = 3 hours

Similarly, Maria takes = 2 hours, While Lorna takes= 2 hours 30 minutes or 2.5 hours.

since, there are three people thus their are three possibility to choose any two of them.

1- when Perry and Maria work together then time taken by them is \frac{1}{1/2+1/3}=\frac{1}{5/6}= 6/5= 1 hour 12 minutes.

2- when Maria and Lorna work together then time taken by them is \frac{1}{1/2 + 1/2.5}= 10/9= 1 hours 1/9 minutes ≈ 1 hours 7 min

3- when Perry and Lorna work together then time taken= \frac{1}{1/3+1/2.5}= 15/11= 1 hour 4/11 minutes≈ 1 hours 21 minutes

From the above explanation, it has been proved that when we talk about 2 members team then Perry and Lorna take the maximum time. While Maria and Lorna take the minimum time when they work together.
