A researcher tests the braking distances of several cars. The braking distance from 60 miles per hour to a complete stop on dry pavement is measured in feet. The braking distances of a sample of cars are normally distributed, with a mean of 129 feet and a standard deviation of 5.18 feet. What is the longest braking distance one of these cars could have and still be in the bottom 1%

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The longest braking distance one of these cars could have and still be in the bottom 1% is of 116.94 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

The braking distances of a sample of cars are normally distributed, with a mean of 129 feet and a standard deviation of 5.18 feet.

This means that [tex]\mu = 129, \sigma = 5.18[/tex]

What is the longest braking distance one of these cars could have and still be in the bottom 1%?

This is the 1st percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.01, so X when Z = -2.327.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]-2.327 = \frac{X - 129}{5.18}[/tex]

[tex]X - 129 = -2.327*5.18[/tex]

[tex]X = 116.94[/tex]

The longest braking distance one of these cars could have and still be in the bottom 1% is of 116.94 feet.

it's how many times 0.08 goes into 3.16

Answer: 2.53

Step-by-step explanation:

you divide it 0.08÷3.16 and like it would give you a large answer but just multiply it by 100 so you will get 2.53 and if you divide that by 3.16 it would give you 0.08 so the answer is "2.53"

0.08 ÷ 3.16 =0.0253164557 x 100= 2.53

Marco is coaching football 24 out of 30 days in June which decimal is equivalent to the fraction of days until he coach football

Answers

Answer:

Since the fraction of this is very obviously 24/30, here's how you can get a decimal out of that:

First, you simplify that fraction.

24/30 = 4/5, since 5x6 is 30 and 6x4 is 24

Now, it's pretty easy to convert 4/5 into a decimal.

This is how I like to do it. You re-convert the fraction one step higher, so it's 8/10, and you just turn it into 0.8, since it's all out of 10.

A marine biologist is studying the growth of a particular species of fish. She writes the following equation to show the length of the fish, f(m), in cm, after m months:

f(m) = 5(1.07)m

Part A: When the marine biologist concluded her study, the length of the fish was approximately 9.19 cm. What is a reasonable domain to plot the growth function? (4 points)

Part B: What does the y-intercept of the graph of the function f(m) represent? (2 points)

Part C: What is the average rate of change of the function f(m) from m = 1 to m = 9, and what does it represent? (4 points)

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

The original function is f(m) = 5(1.07)^m, with the m as an exponent

part A) if the final length is 9.19, we can set f(m) = 9.19 and solve for m

plugging it into a calculator, I get m = ~8.99, so a bit less than 9. therefore, a reasonable domain might be all the m values 9 or below, or m ≤ 9

part B) the y-intercept of a function is the value of the independent variable when the dependent variable = 0. the two variables in your problem are height and number of months - which one do you think is the independent one, and which one is dependent? then re-interpret "value of the independent variable when the dependent variable = 0" in terms of the actual quantities that the variables represent

part C) average rate of change from m = 1 to m = 9

f(9)−f(1)9−1

evaluate, and think about what that represents in terms of height and number of months

Two planes just took off from St. Louis, MO. The first plane is traveling 3.5 times as fast as the second plane. After Traveling in the same direction for 9.5 hours they are 2375 miles apart What is the average speed of each plane? (Hint Since they are traveling in the same direction, the distance between them will be the difference of their distances.)​

Answers

Answer:

Speed of first plane is  350 miles per hour

Speed of second plane is 100 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of the second plane be X

Then the speed of the first plane will be 3.5 X

Distance travelled by first plane is 9.5 *X

Distance travelled by second plane is 9.5 * 3.5 X

Difference of distance between the two plane is

[tex]9.5 * 3.5 X - 9.5 *X = 2375\\23.75 X = 2375\\X = 100[/tex]miles per hour

Speed of first plane is 3.5 *100 = 350 miles per hour

Speed of second plane is 100 miles per hour

Number of year = 3

Find:

Future value

Computation:

Future value using simple interest

Future value = P + (P)(R)(T)

Future value = 8,000 + (8,000)(0.12)(3)

Future value = 8,000 + 2,880

Future value using simple interest = $10,880

Future value using Compound interest

Future value = P[1+r]ⁿ

BlueSky Air has the best on-time arrival rate with 80% of its flights arriving on time. A test is conducted by randomly selecting 16 BlueSky Air flights and observing whether they arrive on time.

What is the probability that 2 flights of BlueSky Air arrive late? (Give your answer to the nearest three decimal places).

Answers

Answer:

0.211 = 21.1% probability that 2 flights of BlueSky Air arrive late

Step-by-step explanation:

For each flight, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they arrive late, or they do not. The probability of a flight arriving late is independent of any other flight. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

BlueSky Air has the best on-time arrival rate with 80% of its flights arriving on time.

This means that 100 - 80 = 20% are late, which means that [tex]p = 0.2[/tex]

Randomly selecting 16 BlueSky Air flights

This means that [tex]n = 16[/tex]

What is the probability that 2 flights of BlueSky Air arrive late?

This is P(X = 2).

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{16,2}.(0.2)^{2}.(0.8)^{14} = 0.211[/tex]

0.211 = 21.1% probability that 2 flights of BlueSky Air arrive late

Ella and Ola had 70 mushrooms altogether. 5/9 of Ella's mushrooms are brown and 2/17 of Ola's mushrooms are white. How many mushrooms did Ella have?

Answers

Answer:

45 mushrooms

Step-by-step explanation:

Ella and Ola had 70 mushrooms altogether. 5/9 of Ella's mushrooms are brown and 2/17 of Ola's mushrooms are white. How many mushrooms did Ella have?

Let the amount of Ella's mushrooms be x

Let the amount of Ola's mushrooms be y

If Ella and Ola had 70 mushrooms altogether, then;

x + y = 70

5/9 x = brown

2/17 y = white

Substiute

x + 5/9 x = 70

14 x/9 = 70

14x = 9 * 70

x = 9* 5

x = 45

Hence Ella has 45 mushrooms

You're using Newton's method to find the roots to

f(x) = g(x)   →   x ⁶ = cos(x)

Recast this as finding the roots to

h(x) = f(x) - g(x) = x ⁶ - cos(x)

First, get the tangent line approximation L(x) to h(x) at an arbitrary starting point x = x₀ ; in a small neighborhood of x₀, we have

h(x)L(x) = h(x) + h'(x) (x - x₀)

Find the root to the tangent line function:

0 = h(x) + h'(x) (x - x₀)   →   x = x₁ = x₀ - h(x)/h'(x)

x₁ is the first approximation of a root to h(x). Repeat the process - that is, take the tangent line to h(x) at x₁ to find the next approximation x₂, and so on - until you meet the required condition.

For the smaller root, take x₀ = -π/2 :

x₀ ≈ -1.5708

x₁ = x₀ - h(x)/h'(x) ≈ -1.31348

x₂ = x₁ - h(x)/h'(x) ≈ -1.11366

x₃ = x₂ - h(x)/h'(x) ≈ -0.982446

x₄ = x₃ - h(x)/h'(x) ≈ -0.928013

x₅ = x₄ - h(x)/h'(x) ≈ -0.920039

x₆ = x₅ - h(x)/h'(x)-0.919887

Stop at x₆ because |x₆ - x₅| ≤ 0.001.

For the larger root, you can start the process over with a different seed for x₀, such as π/2. But since h(x) is an even function and symmetric about the y-axis, the larger root will just be the same root with positive sign, 0.919887.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

if mandy wants a total of 10 dozen muffins, and 2.5 dozen of muffins require 1.25 cups, you'd first have to divide 10 by 2.5 to get the answer of 4. this means that per 2.5 dozen muffins she will need 4 times the amount of materials in order to get a total amount of 10 dozen muffins. therefore if 2.5 dozen muffins require 1.25 cups of flour, then you'd need to multiply 1.25 by 4 which is equivalent to 5 cups of flour.

written math;
