The correct answer for the exercise shown above, is the first option (Option A), which is:

 A. <span>(1+1/18)^18

 The explanation is shown below:

 1- You have that the number e is an irrational number, therefore, its value is aproximated:

 e=2.7182

 2- You have the following expressions:

 </span>(1+1/18)^18=2.6464 
 <span>(1+1/17)^17=2.6424
 </span><span>(1+1/16)^16=2.6379
 </span><span>(1+1/15)^15=2.6328

 Therefore the value of the expression that is closest to e is the Option A.</span>

If f(x)=x2+10sinx, show that there is a number c such that f(c)=1000.
gayaneshka [121]
F(x) is continuous for all x.

Pick a point and show that f(x) is either negative or positive. Pick another point and show that f(x) is negative, if positive, or positive, if negative.

At x = 30, f(30) - 1000 = 900 + 10sin(30) - 1000 ≤ 0
Now, show at another point f(x) - 1000 is positive, and hence, there would be root between 30 and such point.

Let's pick 40.
At x = 40, f(40) - 1000 = 1600 + 10sin(40) - 1000 ≥ 0

Since f(x) - 1000 is continuous, there lies a root between 30 and 40, and hence, 30 ≤ c ≤ 40

William drove 344 miles in 8 hours. If he continued at the same rate, how far would he travel in 17 hours?
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

731 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we can set up a proportion.

Let's name the number of miles he travels in 17 hours x for now.

8/344=17/x

Simplify 8/344

2/86=17/x

Cross multiply

86*17=2*x

2x=1462

Divide both sides by 2.

x=731

He would travel 731 miles in 17 hours.

Ahat [919]

Answer:

z=\frac{0.21 -0.15}{\sqrt{\frac{0.15(1-0.15)}{100}}}=1.68  

Step-by-step explanation:

Information provided

n=100 represent the random sample taken

X=21 represent the number of bags overfilled

\hat p=\frac{21}{100}=0.21 estimated proportion of overfilled bags

p_o=0.15 is the value that we want to test

z would represent the statistic

Hypothesis

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test if the true proportion of overfilled bags is higher than 0.15.:  

Null hypothesis:p =0.7  

Alternative hypothesis:p > 0.15  

The statistic for this case is:

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

And replacing the info given we got:

z=\frac{0.21 -0.15}{\sqrt{\frac{0.15(1-0.15)}{100}}}=1.68

You study whether childhood adversity has an impact of stress levels as an adult. Given your data, the probability of the data g
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Bayes factor is the ratio of the likelihood of one particular hypothesis against the likelihood of the another hypothesis. Bayes factor can be interpreted as a measure of strength of evidence in favor of one theory among two competing theories.

Bayes Factor is defined as below:

\frac{likelihood of data given H1}{likelihood of data given H0}

H1 = alternative hypothesis

H0 = null hypothesis

Bayes Factor = 0.85/0.1 = 8.5

Craig ran the first part of a race with an average speed of 8 miles per hour and biked the second part of a race with an average
enot [183]
Then, 15 - x is the distance ran in the second part.
The time, t1, for the first part is t1 = xmi / 8mi/h
The time, t2, for the second part is t2 = (15 - x)mi / 20mi/h
The total time is t1 + t2 = 1.125 h
Then x/8 + (15 - x) / 20 = 1.125
To solve for x, multiply both sides by 40 (this is the least common multiple)
5x + 30 - 2x = 45
3x = 15

to find x divide: 15/3=5

And 15 - x = 10 mi.
First part:
Speed: 8mi/h
Distance: 5 mi
Time: 5mi/8mi/h = 5/8 h = 37.5 minutes
Second part
Speed: 20 mi/h
Distance: 10 mi
Average speed: 15mi/1.125h =13.33 mi/h
Distance: 15mi
Time: 1.125 h = 67.5 minutes
