Today, John ran 15 miles in 2 hours and 30 minutes. He wants to represent the relationship between the distance he ran, in miles

, and the time, in hours, as proportional in order to examine his times at various distances. Write an equation that John can use to represent a proportional relationship between distance, d, in miles, and time, t, in hours.

Answer:

d = 6t

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, lets change the 2 hours and 30 minutes to 2.5 hours, you could devide the time in minutes by 60 to get that number 2[hours]+( $\frac{30}{60}$ )[minutes to hours] = 2.5Hours.

Anyway, John ran 15 miles in 2.5 hours which means he ran (15÷2.5) in one hour which is equal to 6miles per hour. That means if you multiply the hours he ran by 6 you will get the miles he ran.

So the answer would be:

d = 6t

Computer keyboard failures are due to faulty electrical connects (12%) or mechanical defects (88%). Mechanical defects are relat

Margaret [11]

Answer:

a) 23.76%

b) 7.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

a) probability that a failure is due to loose keys.

loose key failure (27%) comes under mechanical failure(88%)

hence, probability that a failure is due to loose keys= 0.27×0.88= 0.2376= 23.76%

b) probability that a failure is due to improperly connected wire which comes under electrical failure = 0.12×0.13

probability that a failure is due to poorly welded wires which comes under electrical failure= 0.52×0.12

now, the probability that a failure is due to improperly connected or poorly welded wires. = 0.12(0.52+0.13)= 0.078= 7.8%

During the 2015-16 NBA season, J.J. Redick of the Los Angeles Clippers had a free throw shooting percentage of 0.901 . Assume th

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer: 0.5898

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : J.J. Redick of the Los Angeles Clippers had a free throw shooting percentage of 0.901 .

We assume that,

The probability that .J. Redick makes any given free throw =0.901 (1)

Free throws are independent.

So it is a binomial distribution .

Using binomial probability formula, the probability of getting success in x trials :

$P(X=x)^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}$

, where n= total trials

p= probability of getting in each trial.

Let x be binomial variable that represents the number of a=makes.

n= 14

p= 0.901 (from (1))

The probability that he makes at least 13 of them will be :-

$P(x\geq13)=P(x=13)+P(x=14)$

$=^{14}C_{13}(0.901)^{13}(1-0.901)^1+^{14}C_{14}(0.901)^{14}(1-0.901)^0\\\\=(14)(0.901)^{13}(0.099)+(1)(0.901)^{14}\ \ [\because\ ^nC_n=1\ \&\ ^nC_{n-1}=n ]\\\\\approx0.3574+0.2324=0.5898$

∴ The required probability = 0.5898

Researchers studying the effectiveness of a diet on heart disease divided the study's participants into two groups—those with Ty

madreJ [45]

Answer:

The correct option is A) Nominal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Researchers studying the effectiveness of a diet on heart disease divided the study's participants into two groups those with Type A personalities and those with Type B personalities.

Type of measurement scales:

Ratio: We can compare quantity as a multiple of one another.

For example: A father's weight is twice to his son.

Interval: Interval is the measurement scale in which each of the position is equidistant from another.

Level of excitement, rated from 1 to 5.

Ordinal: Ordinal measurement scale in which sets are in order by their position.

For example: First, second, third in a competition.

Nominal: Nominal data are objects distinguished by a straightforward scheme of naming.

For example: The employees in a office can be male or female.

Now, from the above definition it is clear that the type of measurement scale which can depict the scenario is Nominal.

Hence, the correct option is A) Nominal.

Which statements are true regarding triangle LMN? Check all that apply.

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

$NM = x$

$LM = x\sqrt{2}$

$tan (45) = 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Pythagoras Theorem

Pythagoras theorem relates the three sides of the triangle in such a way that the sum of the square of base and perpendicular is equal to hypotenuse, such as:

$LM^{2} =LN^{2} +NM^{2}$

Step 2: Trigonometric Functions

Only for a right angle triangle following three trigonometric relations are valid

$sin (\theta) = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}$

$cos (\theta) = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$

$tan (\theta)=\frac{sin (\theta)}{cos (\theta)} = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}$

Step 3: Verifying all the possible answers

A: Since, LN = x and using $tan (45) =1$

we can calculate

$tan (\theta)= \frac{opposite}{adjacent}$

$tan (45)= \frac{NM}{x} =1$

therefore, NM = x (true)

B: As NM = x therefore it can not be equal to $x\sqrt{2\\}$ .

C: Using Pythagoras Theorem

$LM^{2} =LN^{2} +NM^{2}$

$LM^{2} =x^{2} +x^{2}$

$LM^{2} =2x^{2}$

$LM = \sqrt{2x^{2}} = x\sqrt{2}$

It can also be proved using trigonometric relation

$cos (45) = \frac{x}{LM}$

$LM = \frac{x}{cos (45)}$

As, $\frac{1}{cos (45)}= \sqrt{2}$

Therefore

$LM = x\sqrt{2}$

D and E:

Using same approach similar to part A

Since, LN = x and NM = x

we can calculate

$tan (\theta)= \frac{opposite}{adjacent}$

$tan (45)= \frac{x}{x} =1$

Therefore, $tan (45) = 1$ and not equal to $\frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}$
