Martin and three of his friends take turns driving on a trip. The gas mileage for their car ranges from 28.94 to 24.56 miles per

gallon. Each friend drives between 58 and 64 miles, so Martin estimates they will need about 7 gallons of fuel for their trip. Is this a reasonable estimate?
A. No, the estimate should be higher.
B. No, the estimate should be lower.

Answer:

A. No, the estimate should be higher

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the maximum number of gallons of fuel the car can consume, we express this as;

Maximum miles driven=highest consumption per gallon×Maximum gallons

where;

Maximum miles driven per person=64 mile

Maximum miles driven=64×4=256 miles

highest consumption per gallon=24.56 miles per gallon

Maximum gallons=g

replacing;

256=24.56×g

24.56 g=256

g≥256/24.56=10.42 gallons

g≥10.42 gallons

No, the estimate should be higher

An arrow is shot straight up from a cliff 58.8 meters above the ground with an initial velocity of 49 meters per second. Let up
Papessa [141]

Answer:

s(t)=-9.8t^2+49t+58.8

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that an arrow is shot straight up from a cliff 58.8 meters above the ground with an initial velocity of 49 meters per second. Let up be the positive direction. Because gravity is the force pulling the arrow down, the initial acceleration of the arrow is −9.8 meters per second squared.

We know that equation of an object's height t seconds after the launch is in form s(t)=-gt^2+v_0t+h_0, where

g = Force of gravity,

v_0 = Initial velocity,

h_0 = Initial height.

For our given scenario g=-9.8, v_0=49 and h_0=58.8. Upon substituting these values in object's height function, we will get:

s(t)=-9.8t^2+49t+58.8

Therefore, the function for the height of the arrow would be s(t)=-9.8t^2+49t+58.8.

5.44 Teaching descriptive statistics: A study compared five different methods for teaching descriptive statistics. The five meth
maria [59]

Answer:

The null hypothesis is that all the different teaching methods have the same average test scores.

H0: μ1 = μ2 = μ3 = μ4 = μ5

The alternative hypothesis is that at least one of the teaching methods have a different mean.

Ha: at least one mean is different. (μ1 ≠ μi)

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis (H0) tries to show that no significant variation exists between variables or that a single variable is no different than its mean. While an alternative Hypothesis (Ha) attempt to prove that a new theory is true rather than the old one. That a variable is significantly different from the mean.

For the case above, let μ represent the average test scores for the teaching methods:

The null hypothesis is that all the different teaching methods have the same average test scores.

H0: μ1 = μ2 = μ3 = μ4 = μ5

The alternative hypothesis is that at least one of the teaching methods have a different mean.

Ha: at least one mean is different. (μ1 ≠ μi)

Efectuati impartirea 12xy:3x
adelina 88 [10]

In this question , we have to simplify the given ratio, which is

12xy:3x

First we have to see which factor is common in numerator and denominator,

We can write 12 as 3 times 4, that is

3*4x*y :3x

So the common factor is 3x.

In the next step, we cancel out 3x

4y:1

And that's the required simplified form .

50 POINTS!! PLEASE ASAP. The director of a local ballet company needs to print the programs for the next performance. Janet’s Pr
Maru [420]

For this case we find the expression that represents the cost of each printing press.

x: Be the variable that represents the number of programs to print

So:

Cost 1: Janet’s Print Shop

C (x) = 0.25x + 35

Cost 2: The Printing Press

C (x) = 0.15x + 50

If we want to find the number of programs for which the costs are the same, then we equate both equations:

0.25x + 35 = 0.15x + 50\\0.25x-0.15x = 50-35\\0.1x = 15\\x = \frac {15} {0.1}\\x = 150

Thus, for 150 programs the cost is the same.

Answer:

For 150 programs the cost is the same.
