Station A and Station B are 120 miles apart. A train traveling from station A to station B travels exactly 1/3 of the distance when it is held up and stops for 16 minutes. When the train continues its journey,the engineer increases its avarage speed by 15 mph so that the train will arive at station B on schedule. Find the avarage speed of the train before it stopped for minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 16

b = 3

because only the factor 3 gets repeatedly added every year (x).

the rest (the starting value that gets tripled and then tripled and then tripled ... every year) is constant.

f(x) = 16×3^x

as you know, exponents have the higher priority to multiplications.

if you want to be save you can use brackets like

f(x) = 16×(3^x)

In a recent student government​ election, the number of vote of the winner is 51

An ordered pair of numbers a and b, represented as a / b, is a ratio if b is not equal to 0.

In a proportion, two ratios are specified to be equal to one another in an equation.

The number of votes of the winner is calculated by writing the ratio

= number of the students who voted / total number of students

let x be the number of students that voted the winner

85 / 100 = x / 60

100x = 60 * 85

x = 5100 / 100

Answer: 26 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's label the left side as side a, the bottom as side b, and the hypotenuse (the diagonal side) as side c.

As you can see, side a is 8 units, and side b is 7 units. To calculate side c, you need to plug both a and b in to the Pythagoras' theorem, which states that a² + b² = c².

> 8² + 7² = c²

> 64 + 49 = c²

> 113 = c²

> c = 10.63 which would round up to 11.

Now adding up all the sides together, a + b + c = 7 + 8 + 11 = 26 units

The money Nicole that he owes by selling the 36 quarts of lemonade is $ 54.

As per the given data, Nicole is selling the lemonade at her stand.

She charges $0.75 per pint.

Mr. Terry buys 36 quarts of lemonade.

Here we have to determine how much money he owes Nicole by selling the 36 quarts of lemonade.

Convert the quantity from quarts to pints.

As we know that 1 quart = 2 pints

1 quart = 2 pints

36 quarts = 2 × 36 pints

36 quarts = 72 pints.

The 36 quarts are equal to 72 pints.

The cost of one pint is $0.75.

We have to find the cost of 72 pints.

1 pint = $0.75

72 pints = ( 0.75 × 72 pints ) $

72 pints = 54 $.

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

An asymptote is a line that continually approaches a given curve but does not meet it at any finite distance.

For example, for the rational function [tex]f(x)=\frac{1}{x}[/tex], there's a horizontal asymptote at y=0 because as x approaches infinity, y gets increasingly closer to 0.

Same goes for the vertical asymptote of x=0 where as y approaches infinity, x gets increasingly closer to 0.

Null hypothesis: H₀ : μ = 55

Alternative hypothesis: H₁: μ [tex]\neq[/tex] 55

Given,

For a two-tailed alternative hypothesis, it involves the "not equal to symbol,≠ ". This can never be in the null hypothesis. In order to reject the null hypothesis, the test statistic must be smaller than the critical value on the left tail or greater than the critical value on the right tail.

the claim is the jeep has a 55 mpg rating and we want to test whether the rating is correct or incorrect. So, it is a two-tailed hypothesis because the rating can be less than or more than 55 mpg.

The probability that valley 1 is also infected is 15%

The math term probability is defined as the possibility of an event to happen is equal to the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes and the total number of outcomes.

Here we have know that two valleys are sometimes infected with tree rot.

The probability of rotting valley 1 = 35%

The probability of rotting valley 2 = 60%

And the probability that at least one is infected = 80%

When we convert these values into decimal then we get,

The probability of rotting valley 1 = 0.35

The probability of rotting valley 2 = 0.6

And the probability that at least one is infected = 0.8

Then the probability that valley 1 is also infected is

B. The probability of at least one US adult having a mental illness is >=21

C. The probability of less than three US adults having a mental illness is <=3

a. The probability of exactly two US adults having a mental illness in a sample of six is given by the binomial probability formula:

P(X = 2) = (6 choose 2) * (0.2)^2 * (0.8)^4 = 0.235904

b. To find the probability of at least one US adult having a mental illness, we need to find the probability of zero or one or two or three or four or five or six US adults having a mental illness.

This can be found by summing the probabilities of each event:

P(X >= 1) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6)

c. To find the probability of less than three US adults having a mental illness, we need to find the probability of zero or one or two US adults having a mental illness.

P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)

Imagine Y to be number of papers till we get all grades once. Hence

Yi= Number of papers till we get i th newer grades

Expected value of Y₆= ?

The difference between getting a new grade maybe represented as

Xi= Yi+1 - Yi

Using above equation for Y₆, we get

[Y₆]= ∑⁵i=o Xi

which means, we need to get 5 different grades from the first grade.

Number of tries to see second new grade maybe represented as

X₁= {(6-1)/6}, which, for generalization is written as Xi=geo{(6-i)/6}

Xi represents the success probability of seeing further new grade.

Expected value of Xi is inverse of parameter of geometric distribution, which is,

[Xi] = 6/(6-i) = 6.{1/(6-i)}

Expected value of Y₆= [∑⁵ i=0 Xi] = ∑⁵ i=0 [Xi]

Substituting value of [Xi] in the above expression

6.∑⁵i=0 {1/(6-i)} = 6. ∑⁶i=1 (1/i)

Now solving for 6 grades

The matching sides and angles of the two triangles must match in size for them to be considered congruent. In other words, when the two triangles are positioned next to one another, they must match.

The Pythagorean theorem may be used to determine the length that is lacking if the other three lengths are known. According to the Pythagorean theorem, the square of the longest side of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides.
