This is a proportion question.

0.5:40 miles :: 5:x

Translated into division you get 0.5/40 = 5/x          Cross multiply

0.5 x = 40 * 5                   combine the right

0.5x = 200                       divide by 0.5

0.5x/0.5 = 200/0.5          Divide

x = 400

Answer: The two cities are 400 miles apart

The Fortune 500 is comprised of Fortune magazine's annual list of the finite population of the top 500 companies in the U.S. ran
Serjik [45]

Answer:

The standard error of the proportion is 0.0367.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the standard error is s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}

In this question:

p = 0.16, n = 100

So

s = \sqrt{\frac{0.16*0.84}{100}} = 0.0367

The standard error of the proportion is 0.0367.

"Mia jogs 3 kilometers in 20 minutes. There are about 0.6 miles in a kilometer. What is Mia’s approximate speed in miles per min
Lapatulllka [165]
First we need to find Mia's speed (v) in km/min

v = distance travelled/ time 
v = 3 km/20 minutes
v = 0.15 km /min

in order to convert the speed into mile/min, we need to use the conversion factor given in which for every kilometer, there is 0.6 miles. 

v = 0.15 km/min *(0.6 miles/ km) 
v =0.09 miles/min

therefore the speed in miles/min is 0.09 miles/min

Answer:

(7,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint formula is expressed as:

M(X, Y) = {(x2+x1)/2, (y2+y1)/2

Given the coordinates of the midpoint

M(2.5, -1.5)

Endpoint A(-2, -7)

Required

Endpoint B

From the formula;

X = x2+x1/2

Given

X = 2.5, x1 = -2

Get x2

2.5 = -2+x2/2

5 = -2+x2

x2 = 5+2

x2 = 7

Also

Y = y2+y1/2

-1.5 = -7+y2/2

-3 =-7+y2

y2 = -3+7

y2 = 4

Hence the coordinate of the endpoint B (x2,y2) is (7,4)
