The distance from <span>Philadelphia to Pittsburgh is 305 miles.

Both are travelling towards each other. When they will meet the sum of distance traveled by both would be 305 miles, as together they have covered the entire distance between the two cities.

We know that:

Distance = Speed x Time

We know the distance. We know the speeds. Since they are travelling towards each other, the overall speed will be the sum of speeds of Rich and Michelle. So we can say with a speed of 135 mph they have to cover 305 miles.

305 = 135 x Time

Time = 305/135 = 2.25 hours = 2 hours and 15 minutes

So, they will meet after 2 hours and 15 minutes.

So, C option is the correct answer</span>

T = d/V

t1 = t2

They will meet at point X

D1 = 305  - X
D2 = X
(305-X)/70 =X/60

Solve for X = 140.77 miles

t = 140.77/60 =61/26 hrs or 2.346 hrs or 2 hrs and 20 minutes

sweet [91]

We use the z statistic:

z = (x – u) / s

 

But first let us calculate the standard deviation s, sample x and mean u.

s = sqrt (n p q)

s = sqrt (112 * 0.77 * (1 – 0.77))

s = 4.45

 

x = 0.81 * 112 = 90.72

 

u = 0.77 * 112 = 86.24

 

So the z score is:

z = (90.72 – 86.24) / 4.45

z = 1.00

 

From the standard tables, the P value at z = 1.00 using right tailed test is:

<span>P = 0.1587 = 15.87%</span>

The sum of two consecutive even integers divided by four is 189.5
Andre45 [30]
The sum of two consecutive even integers is a+(a+2) and divided by four is
(a+(a+2))/4 = 189.5
(2a+2)/4 = 189.5
2a+2 = 189.5 * 4
2a+2 = 758
2a = 758 - 2
2a = 756
a = 756/2 = 378
first number is a = 378
second number is a+2 = 378+2 = 380

Shota is a dangerous fellow who likes to go rock climbing in active volcanoes. One time, when he was 303030 meters below the edg
Alex

Answer:

5m/s;

6 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Initial position = 30 m below

He climbed at a constant rate, and was 7.5 m below after 4.5 s.

Distance climbed or covered in 4.5 seconds :

(Initial position - current position)

(30 - 7. 5)m = 22.5 meters

Using the relation:

Speed = distance covered / time taken

Therefore,

Shota's speed = 22.5m / 4.5s = 5m/s

Time taken to reach edge of volcano :

Distance left to cover = 7.5m

Speed = 5m/s

Time required to cover remaining distance :

= distance / speed

= (7.5m ÷ 5m/s) = 1.5s

Total time to reach edge :

(4.5 + 1.5)s = 6 seconds

A coin will be flipped repeatedly until the sequence TTH (tail/tail/head) comes up. Successive flips are independent, and the co
padilas [110]

Answer:

P = \frac{1}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The calculation of the value of p minimizes is shown below:-

We will assume the probability of coming heads be p

p(H) = p

p(T) = 1 - P

Now, H and T are only outcomes of flipping a coin

So,

P(TTH) = (1 - P) = (1 - P) (1 - P) P

= (1 + P^2 - 2 P) P

= P^3 - 2P^2 + P

In order to less N,TTH

we need to increase P(TTH)

The equation will be

\frac{d P(TTH)}{dP} = 0

3P^2 - 4P + 1 = 0

(3P - 1) (P - 1) = 0

P = 1 and 1 ÷ 3

For P(TTH) to be maximum

\frac{d^2 P(TTH)}{dP} < 0 for\ P\ critical\\\\\frac{d (3P^2 - 4P - 1)}{dP}

= 6P - 4

and

(6P - 4) is negative which is for

P = \frac{1}{3}
