An empty freight train traveled 60 miles from an auto assembly plant to an oil refinery. There, its tank cars were filled with petroleum products, and it returned on the same route to the plant. The total travel time for the train was 4 1 2 hours. If the train traveled 20 mph slower with the tank cars full, how fast did the train travel in each direction

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

On the way out the train traveled at about 40 mph, while on the return it did so at 20 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since an empty freight train traveled 60 miles from an auto assembly plant to an oil refinery, and there, its tank cars were filled with petroleum products, and it returned on the same route to the plant, and the total travel time for the train was 4.5 hours, if the train traveled 20 mph slower with the tank cars full, to determine how fast did the train travel in each direction the following calculation must be performed:

60/20 = 3

60/40 = 1.5

60/20 = 3

3 + 1.5 = 4.5

Therefore, on the way out the train traveled at about 40 mph, while on the return it did so at 20 mph.

Identify the first 4 terms in the arithmetic sequence given by the explicit formula ƒ(n) = 8 + 3(n – 1).

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(n) = 8 + 3(n) - 3

f(n) = 5 + 3n

f(1) = 5 + 3(1)

f(1) = 8

f(2) = 5  + 6

f(2) = 11

f(3) = 5 + 3*3

f(3) = 14

Computers from a certain manufacturer have a mean lifetime of 62 months, with a standard deviation of 12 months. The distribution of lifetimes is not assumed to be symmetric. Between what two lifetimes does Chebyshev's Theorem guarantee that we will find at least approximately 75% of the computers

Answers

Answer:

Between 38 and 86 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Chebyshev Theorem

The Chebyshev Theorem can also be applied to non-normal distribution. It states that:

At least 75% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

At least 89% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

An in general terms, the percentage of measures within k standard deviations of the mean is given by [tex]100(1 - \frac{1}{k^{2}})[/tex].

In this question:

Mean of 62, standard deviation of 12.

Between what two lifetimes does Chebyshev's Theorem guarantee that we will find at least approximately 75% of the computers?

Within 2 standard deviations of the mean, so:

62 - 2*12 = 38

62 + 2*12 = 86

Between 38 and 86 months.

At a concession stand; three hot dogs and two hamburgers cost $9.75; two hot dogs and three hamburgers cost $10.25. Find the cost of one hot dog and the cost of one hamburger.

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

hot dog: $1.75hamburger: $2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent the cost of a hot dog and a hamburger, respectively. The the two purchases can be described by ...

  3x +2y -9.75 = 0

  2x +3y -10.25 = 0

We can list the coefficients of these general-form equations in 2 rows, listing the first one again at the end:

  3, 2, -9.75, 3

  2, 3, -10.25, 2

Now, we can form differences of cross-products in adjacent pairs of columns:

  d1 = (3)(3) -(2)(2) = 9 -4 = 5

  d2 = (2)(-10.25) -(3)(-9.75) = -20.50 +29.25 = 8.75

  d3 = (-9.75)(2) -(-10.25)(3) = -19.50 +30.75 = 11.25

Then the solutions are found from ...

  1/d1 = x/d2 = y/d3

  x = d2/d1 = 8.75/5 = 1.75

  y = d3/d1 = 11.25/5 = 2.25

The cost of one hot dog is $1.75; the cost of one hamburger is $2.25.

If y is 2,851, 1% of Y is

Answers

Excellent question, but let's rephrase it.

Suppose you have a square of surface area of 2851.

What would be a hundredth of such square?

What would be surface area of that hundredth.

Why hundredth? Because percent denotes hundredths cent is a latin word for hundred. You would usually encounter similar word that describes 100 years: century.

Well it is actually very easy. Just divide 2851 into 100 pieces and look at what is the area of one piece.

[tex]2851/100=285.1=y[/tex]

So a single piece has an area of 258.1.

1/2 of 12=1/4 of?
1/3 of 90=2/3of?

Answers

Answer:

24 and 45

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, now that I can answer this question with the right answers:

The easy way to do this is to first solve the left hand side of the equation.

1/2 of 12 is the same as 12/2 = 6.

So 6 = 1/4 * x

To solve for that unknown x, just multiply both sides by 4 to cancel out the fraction:

6*4 = 4* 1/4*x

24 = x

For the other equation, do the same thing:

1/3 * 90 = 90/3 = 30

30 = 2/3*x

30*3 = 3* 2/3 *x

90 = 2x

90/2 = 2x/2

45 = x

generate a table of values for the equation y = -4.5x - 0.5. Use values for x from -2 to 2, increment by 1 in each row

Answers

Answer:

x = -2: y = 8.5

x = -1: y = 4

x = 0: y = -0.5

x = 1: y = -5

x = 2: y = -9.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We find the numeric values for the function from x = -2 to x = 2.

x = -2:

[tex]y = -4.5(-2) - 0.5 = 9 - 0.5 = 8.5[/tex]

x = -1:

[tex]y = -4.5(-1) - 0.5 = 4.5 - 0.5 = 4[/tex]

x = 0:

[tex]y = -4.5(0) - 0.5 = 0 - 0.5 = -0.5[/tex]

x = 1:

[tex]y = -4.5(1) - 0.5 = -4.5 - 0.5 = -5[/tex]

x = 2:

[tex]y = -4.5(2) - 0.5 = -9 - 0.5 = -9.5[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

A) 10%

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.

Sam's monthly bills are normally distributed with mean 2700 and standard deviation 230.9.

This means that [tex]\mu = 2700, \sigma = 230.9[/tex]

What is the probability that his expenses will exceed his income in the following month?

Expenses above 2*1500 = $3000, which is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 3000.

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

[tex]Z = \frac{3000 - 2700}{230.9}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.3[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.3[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9032.

1 - 0.9032 = 0.0968 that is, close to 10%, and thus the correct answer is given by option A.

how do we get the angle at 24/30 ?

by using the extended Pythagoras for baselines opposite other than 90 degrees.

c² = a² + b² - 2ab×cos(angle opposite of c)

in our example the angle 24/30 is opposite of the side 18.

so,

18² = 24² + 30² - 2×24×30×cos(angle 24/30)

324 = 576 + 900 - 1440×cos(angle 24/30)

324 = 1476 - 1440×cos(angle 24/30)

1440×cos(angle 24/30) = 1152

cos(angle 24/30) = 1152/1440 = 576/720 = 288/360 = 144/180 = 72/90 = 36/45 = 12/15 = 4/5

There are two boxes containing red and blue balls. For box A, there are 3red balls and 7blue balls. For box B, there are 6red balls and 4blue balls. Now randomly pick up one ball from the two boxes, and the selected ball is red. What is the probability that this red ball is from box A

Answers

Answer:

0.3333 = 33.33% probability that this red ball is from box A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

[tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Red ball

Event B: From box A.

Probability of a red ball:

3/10 = 0.3 of 1/2 = 0.5(box A)

6/10 = 0.6 of 1/2 = 0.5(box B). So

[tex]P(A) = 0.3*0.5 + 0.6*0.5 = 0.45[/tex]

Probability of a red ball from box A:

0.3 of 0.5, so:

[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.3*0.5 = 0.15[/tex]

What is the probability that this red ball is from box A?

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.15}{0.45} = 0.3333[/tex]

0.3333 = 33.33% probability that this red ball is from box A.
