At the end of a snowstorm, Jamal had 18 inches of snow on his lawn. The temperature then increased and the snow began to melt at a constant rate of 2.5 inches per hour. Assuming no more snow was falling, how much snow would Jamal have on his lawn 5 hours after the snow began to melt? How much snow would Jamal have on his lawn after tt hours of snow melting?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Part 1)

5.5 inches.

Part 2)

[tex]y=-2.5t+18[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write a linear equation to model the function.

Let y represent the inches of snow and let t represent the number of hours since the end of the snowstorm.

A linear equation is in the form:

[tex]y=mt+b[/tex]

Since there was 18 inches of snow in the beginning, our y-intercept or b is 18.

Since it melts at a constant rate of 2.5 inches per hour, our slope or m is -2.5.

Substitute:

[tex]y=-2.5t+18[/tex]

This equation models how much snow Jamal will have on his lawn after t hours of snow melting.

So, after five hours, t = 5. Substitute and evaluate:

[tex]y=-2.5(5)+18=5.5\text{ inches}[/tex]

After five hours, there will still be 5.5 inches of snow.

Then  α  = 5 %  α = 0.05    

The test is a one-tail test ( we want to know if taking aspirin will reduce a child´s fever

Hypothesis test

Null Hypothesis                      H₀         μd  = 0

Alternative Hypothesis          Hₐ         μd > 0

(NOTE:)   μd (average) = Temp Before  -  Temp. after

Therefore if   μd >  0   means that there is a statistical difference between values before ( bigger ) and after  or that the aspirin will reduce a child´s fever

To find t(c)  from t-student table  df = 5  and α = 0.05

t(c)  =  2.015

To compute  t(s)

t(s)  =  μd/ sd/√n      t(s)  =  0.98/ 0.9/√6

t(s)  =  2.66

Comparing  t(s) and  t(c)

t(s) > t(c)

a. What is the probability that a drought lasts at most 3 intervals?
b. What is the probability that the length of a drought exceeds its mean value by at least one standard deviation?

Answers

Solution :

a). P(X = x)

     =   [tex]$p(1-p)^x$[/tex]  for x = 0, 1, 2, ....

   P(x ≤ 3) = 0.837

b). Expectation = [tex]$\frac{(1-p)}{p}$[/tex]

  Variance = [tex]$\frac{(1-p)}{p^2}$[/tex]

                 = 4.7663726

  Standard deviation = 2.1832

 Therefore, mean + standard deviation

                  = 1.7397 + 2.1832

                  = 3.9229

[tex]$P(x > 3.9229) = 0.1626$[/tex]

Carson is going to see a movie and is taking his 2 kids. Movie ticket costs $14 and snacks cost $3.50.

Explanation :

Carson buys 2 snacks . we need to find the total cost that Carson have to pay where he buy 2 snacks.

Total cost = cost of ticket (2 kids) + cost of 2 snacks

[tex]Total \; cost = 14(2) + 2(3.50)=35[/tex]

Total cost with 2 snacks = $35

Total cost with x snacks = cost of ticket (2 kids) + cost of x snacks

For this we have to take into account:

[tex]{\boxed{ \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{x^{n} }{n!} =e^{x} }}[/tex]

Using the properties of factorials and exponents we have:

in the right triangle AB, mc=90, a=4, and sinA=1/2. what is the length of the hypotenuse?

Answers

Given:

In a right angle triangle ABC, [tex]m\angle C=90^\circ , a=4[/tex] and [tex]\sin A=\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex].

To find:

The length of the hypotenuse.

Solution:

It is given that [tex]m\angle C[/tex], so opposite side of this angle is the hypotenuse, i.e., c.

In a right angle triangle,

[tex]\sin \theta=\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}[/tex]

In the given triangle,

[tex]\sin A=\dfrac{a}{c}[/tex]

Substituting the given values, we get

[tex]\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{4}{c}[/tex]

By cross multiplication, we get

[tex]1\times c=4\times 2[/tex]

[tex]c=8[/tex]

Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse is 8 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Noel

[tex]n_1 =6miles[/tex]

[tex]r_1 = 2mph[/tex]

Casey

[tex]c_1 = 8miles[/tex]

[tex]r_2 =1mph[/tex]

Required

The rate at which the distance increases

Their movement forms a right triangle and the distance between them is the hypotenuse.

At [tex]n_1 =6miles[/tex] and [tex]c_1 = 8miles[/tex]

The distance between them is:

[tex]d_1 = \sqrt{n_1^2 + c_1^2}[/tex]

[tex]d_1 = \sqrt{6^2 + 8^2}[/tex]

[tex]d_1 = \sqrt{100}[/tex]

[tex]d_1 = 10miles[/tex]

After 1 hour, their new position is:

New = Old + Rate * Time

[tex]n_2 = n_1 + r_1 * 1[/tex]

[tex]n_2 = 6 + 2 * 1 = 8[/tex]

And:

[tex]c_2 = c_1 + r_2 * 1[/tex]

[tex]c_2 = 8 + 1 * 1 = 9[/tex]

So, the distance between them is now:

[tex]d_2 = \sqrt{n_2^2 + c_2^2}[/tex]

[tex]d_2 = \sqrt{8^2 + 9^2}[/tex]

[tex]d_2 = \sqrt{145}[/tex]

[tex]d_2 = 12.04[/tex]

The rate of change is:

[tex]\triangle d = d_2 -d_1[/tex]

[tex]\triangle d = 12.04 -10[/tex]

Discrete data are those which can take up only specific values. Discrete data values may include the number of children in a particular school, the number of visitors received per day. All this values are specific and cannot just take up any number one f values within an interval. Continous data on the other hand can take up any number of data values between an interval. Continous data types are usually height temperature, length(distance data). There can be infinite number of possible data within interval values.

Answers

Answer:

a. $0.13 / Ib.

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of a line:

Suppose we have two data-points in a line. The slope is given by the change in the output divided by the change in the output.

In this question:

Input: weight(in pounds)

Output: Weekly cost to feed.

A hamster weighs half a pound and costs $2 per week to feed, while a Labrador Retriever weighs 62.5 pounds and costs $10 per week to feed.

Inputs: 0.5, 62.5

Outputs: 2, 10

Change in the outputs: 10 - 2 = 8

Change in the inputs: 62.5 - 0.5 = 62

Slope: [tex]m = \frac{8}{62} = 0.13[/tex]
