A boat takes 3 days to travel from town A to town B, but it takes 4 days to travel from town B to town A. If a motor-less raft is left alone in the water by town A, how long will it take for the raft to float to town B?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

24 days

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance from A to B equals the distance from B to A.

Let the distance between A and B be d.

3 days = 72 hours

4 days = 96 hours

speed = distance/time

speeds are in miles per hour

speed from A to B = d/72

speed from B to A = d/96

difference in speeds:

d/72 - d/96 = d/288

The speed of the water is half of the difference.

speed = d/576

When the raft floats from A to B, it uses only the speed of the water.

d/576 / d/72 = 1/8

The speed of the water is 1/8 the overall speed of the trip from A to B, so traveling by the speed of the water alone must take 8 times longer than with the boat motor.

8 * 3 days = 24 days

An adult can lose or gain two pounds of water ina course of a day. Assume that the changes in water weight isuniformly distributed between minus two and plus two pounds in aday. What is the standard deviation of your weight over a day?

Answers

Answer:

The standard deviation of your weight over a day is of 1.1547 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Uniform probability distribution:

An uniform distribution has two bounds, a and b, and the standard deviation is:

[tex]S = \sqrt{\frac{(b-a)^2}{12}}[/tex]

Assume that the changes in water weight is uniformly distributed between minus two and plus two pounds in a day.

This means that [tex]a = -2, b = 2[/tex]

What is the standard deviation of your weight over a day?

[tex]S = \sqrt{\frac{(2 - (-2))^2}{12}} = \sqrt{\frac{4^2}{12}} = \sqrt{\frac{16}{12}} = 1.1547[/tex]

The standard deviation of your weight over a day is of 1.1547 pounds.

Answers

Given:

The function is:

[tex]g(x)=f(x+2)-3[/tex]

To find:

The statement that best compares the graph of g(x) with the graph of f(x).

Solution:

The transformation is defined as

[tex]g(x)=f(x+a)+b[/tex]                .... (i)

Where, a is horizontal shift and b is vertical shift.

If a>0, then the graph shifts a units left and if a<0, then the graph shifts a units right.

If b>0, then the graph shifts b units up and if b<0, then the graph shifts b units down.

We have,

[tex]g(x)=f(x+2)-3[/tex]               ...(ii)

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

[tex]a=2[/tex]

[tex]b=-3[/tex]

Therefore, the graph of g(x) is shifted 2 units left and 3 units down.

Hence, the correct option is C.

Answer:

Test statistic = 0.63

Pvalue = 0.555

A. Fail to reject H0. The data does not suggest a significant mean difference in the average number of accidents after information was added to road signs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Before 13 22 65 123 56 63

After_ 14 21 43 84 75 72

To perform a paired t test :

H0 : μd = 0

H1 : μd ≠ 0

We obtain the difference between the two dependent sample readings ;

Difference, d = -1, 1, 22, 39, -19, -9

The mean of difference, Xd = Σd/ n = 33/6 = 5.5

The standard deviation, Sd = 21.296 (calculator).

The test statistic :

T = Xd ÷ (Sd/√n) ; where n = 6

T = 5.5 ÷ (21.296/√6)

T = 5.5 ÷ 8.6940555

T = 0.6326

The Pvalue : Using a Pvalue calculator ;

df = n - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5

Pvalue(0.6326, 5) = 0.5548

Decision region :

Reject H0 ; If Pvalue < α; α = 0.05

Since 0.5548 > 0.05 ; we fail to reject the Null and conclude that the data does not suggest a significant mean difference in the average number of accidents after information was added to road signs.

A rhombus has an area of 5 square meters and a side length of 3 meters. In another similar rhombus, the length of a side is 9 meters. What is the area of the second rhombus?
(A) 30 square meters
(B) 45 square meters
(C) 60 square meters
(D) 75 square meters

Answers

Hence the area of the second rhombus is 45 square meters

The area of a rhombus is expressed as

A = base * height

For the rhombus with an area of 5 square meters and a side length of 3 meters

Height = Area/length

Height = 5/3 metres

Since the length of a similar rhombus is 9meters, the scale factor will be expressed as;

k = ratio of the lengths = 9/3

k = 3

Height of the second rhombus = 3 * height of the first rhombus

Height of the second rhombus = 3 * 5/3

Height of the second rhombus = 5 meters

Area of the second rhombus = length * height

Area of the second rhombus = 5 * 9

Area of the second rhombus = 45 square meters

Hence the area of the second rhombus is 45 square meters

The correct option is option B;

(B) 45 square meters

The known parameters in the question are;

The area of the rhombus, A₁ = 5 m²

The length of one of the sides of the rhombus, a = 3 m

The length of a side in a similar rhombus, b = 9 m

The unknown parameter;

The area of the second rhombus

Strategy or method;

We have that two shapes are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional

From the above statement we get that the ratio of the areas of the two shapes is equal to the square of the ratio of the lengths of the corresponding sides of the two shapes of follows;

[tex]\begin{array}{ccc}Length \ Ratio&&Area \ Ratio\\\dfrac{a}{b} &&\left (\dfrac{a}{b} \right)^2 \\&&\end{array}[/tex]

Let the area of the second rhombus be A₂, we get;

[tex]Area \ ratio = \dfrac{A_1}{A_2} = \left( \dfrac{a}{b} \right)^2[/tex]

Where;

a = 3 m, b = 9 m, and A₁ = 5 m², we get;

[tex]Area \ ratio = \dfrac{5 \ m^2}{A_2} = \left( \dfrac{3 \, m}{9 \, m} \right)^2 = \dfrac{1}{9}[/tex]

Therefore;

9 × 5 m² = A₂ × 1

A₂ = 45 m²

The area of the second rhombus, A₂ = 5 m².

The central angle in a circle of radius 6 meters has an intercepted arc length of 10 meters. Find the measure of the angle in radians and in degrees

Answers

Answer:

The central angle is 5/3 radians or approximately 95.4930°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that arc-length is given by the formula:

[tex]\displaystyle s = r\theta[/tex]

Where s is the arc-length, r is the radius of the circle, and θ is the measure of the central angle, in radians.

Since the intercepted arc-length is 10 meters and the radius is 6 meters:

[tex]\displaystyle (10) = (6)\theta[/tex]

Solve for θ:

[tex]\displaystyle \theta = \frac{5}{3}\text{ rad}[/tex]

The central angle measures 5/3 radians.

Recall that to convert from radians to degrees, we can multiply by 180°/π. Hence:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{5\text{ rad}}{3} \cdot \frac{180^\circ}{\pi \text{ rad}} = \frac{300}{\pi}^\circ\approx 95.4930^\circ[/tex]

So, the central angle is approximately 95.4930°

How many different ways can Leanne pick the food and drinks to serve at the bridal shower

Answers

Answer:

She can pick the food and drinks in 780,780 different ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

The drinks, appetizers and desserts are independent of each other, so the fundamental counting principle is used.

Also, the order in which the beverages, the appetizers and the desserts are chosen is not important, which means that the combinations formula is used to solve this question.

Fundamental counting principle:

Beverages:

3 from a set of 13. So

[tex]C_{13,3} = \frac{13!}{3!10!} = 286[/tex]

Appetizers:

3 from a set of 7, so:

[tex]C_{7,3} = \frac{7!}{3!4!} = 35[/tex]

Desserts:

2 from a set of 13, so:

I was in such a rush that I brought my practice statue, which is just cardboard and glue covered with a cake frosting called fondant. The judges were forced to disqualify Romanova from the contest, although unofficially they praised her creativity and skill. Personally, I hate to give the first place prize to a run-of-the-mill cake like this one, said judge Dmitri Wainwright in reference to the Bake-Off winner, a cake shaped like a giant hamburger, complete with pickles and lettuce. We see cakes shaped like food every year, and it gets boring. Ms. Romanova surprised and delighted us, and I hope she will return next year with an equally impressive entry. Julie Romanova began creating elaborate cakes two years ago after leaving her job in data entry. She is currently working as an apprentice with Maurice and Ralstons Bakery in downtown Lake Shore. When asked about next years competition, she was adamant about one thing. Next year, I promise not to feed the judges a dead poet made of cardboard! she said with a smile.What is the main purpose of this article? ou have a company network that is connected to the internet.
