Benecio skis 748 yd in 3 min. At this rate, how many miles does Benecio ski in an
hour in miles?

Answers

Answer:

8.5 miles an hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are many ways to do this, but I am going to do it the way I think is the most simple.

First, divide 748 yards by 3 minutes to get the amount of yards per minute. 748 / 3 = 249.33333

Second, divide the previously gotten number (249.33333, [3's go on forever]) by the amount of yards in a mile (which is 1760 yards per mile). This turns into 249.33333 / 1760 = 0.1416666 (6's go on forever). This is miles per minute so you must make it per hour.

You then multiply that infinite number by the amount of minutes in an hour (60 minutes per hour). 0.14166666 * 60 = 8.5 miles per hour.

The mean height of women in a country (ages 20-29) is 64 4 inches A random sample of 50 women in this age group is selected What is the probability that the mean height for the sample is greater than 65 inches? Assume o = 2.91 The probability that the mean height for the sample is greater than 65 inches is​

Answers

Answer:

0.0721 = 7.21% probability that the mean height for the sample is greater than 65 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

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.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Mean of 64.4 inches, standard deviation of 2.91

This means that [tex]\mu = 64.4, \sigma = 2.91[/tex]

Sample of 50 women

This means that [tex]n = 50, s = \frac{2.91}{\sqrt{50}}[/tex]

What is the probability that the mean height for the sample is greater than 65 inches?

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 65. So

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

By the Central Limit Theorem

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

[tex]Z = \frac{65 - 64.4}{\frac{2.91}{\sqrt{50}}}[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.46[/tex]

[tex]Z = 1.46[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9279

1 - 0.9279 = 0.0721

0.0721 = 7.21% probability that the mean height for the sample is greater than 65 inches.

consecutive integers that start with m+2?
A) m + 4
B) n + 6
C) n+ 4
D) m + 5

Answers

Answer:

n + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

⅕(m + m + 1 + m + 2 + m + 3 + m + 4) = n

Required

⅑(m + 2 + m + 3 +.......+ m + 10)

We have:

⅕(m + m + 1 + m + 2 + m + 3 + m + 4) = n

Multiply both sides by 5

m + m + 1 + m + 2 + m + 3 + m + 4 = 5n

Collect like terms

m + m + m + m + m = 5n - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4

5m = 5n - 10

Divide both sides by 5

m = n - 2

So, we have:

⅑(m + 2 + m + 3 + m + 4 + m + 5 + m + 6 + m + 7 + m + 8 + m + 9 + m + 10)

Collect like terms

= ⅑(m+m+m+m+m+m+m+m+m+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10)

= ⅑(9m + 54)

= m + 6

Substitute n - 2 for m

= n - 2 + 6

= n + 4

An auto insurance company concludes that 30% of policyholders with only collision coverage will have a claim next year, 40% of policyholders with only comprehensive coverage will have a claim next year, and 50% of policyholders with both collision and comprehensive coverage will have a claim next year. Records show 60% of policyholders have collision coverage, 70% have comprehensive coverage, and all policyholders have at least one of these coverages. Calculate the percentage of policyholders expected to have an accident next year.

Answers

Answer:

40% of policyholders are expected to have an accident next year

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

P( collision coverage ) = 60% = 0.6

P( comprehensive coverage ) = 70% = 0.7

Now, we make use of the Law of addition of probability, so

P( collision coverage and comprehensive coverage ) = P( collision coverage )  + P( comprehensive coverage ) - P( collision coverage or comprehensive coverage )

P( collision coverage and comprehensive coverage )  = 0.6 + 0.7 - 1

P( collision coverage and comprehensive coverage ) = 0.3

Now,

P( comprehensive coverage only ) = P( comprehensive coverage ) - P( collision coverage and comprehensive coverage )

P( comprehensive coverage only ) = 0.7 - 0.3

P( comprehensive coverage only ) = 0.4

And

P( collision coverage only) = P( collision coverage ) - P( collision coverage and comprehensive coverage )

P( collision coverage only) = 0.6 - 0.3 = 0.3

Next  we make use of the Law of total probability;

P( accident ) = [P( accident ║ collision coverage only) × P( collision coverage only)] + [P( accident ║ comprehensive coverage only) × P( comprehensive coverage only)] + [P( accident ║ collision coverage and comprehensive coverage only) × P( collision coverage and comprehensive coverage only)]

so we substitute in our values;

P( accident ) = [ 30% × 0.3 ] + [ 40% × 0.4 ] + [ 50% × 0.3 ]

P( accident ) = [ 0.3 × 0.3 ] + [ 0.4 × 0.4 ] + [ 0.5 × 0.3 ]

P( accident ) = 0.09 + 0.16 + 0.15

P( accident ) = 0.4 or 40%

Therefore,  40% of policyholders are expected to have an accident next year

How many years (to two decimal places) will it take $15000 to grow to $17500 if it is invested at 8% compounded semi- annually?

Answers

Answer:

1.97 years

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert R as a percent to r as a decimal

r = R/100

r = 8/100

r = 0.08 per year,

Then, solve the equation for t

t = ln(A/P) / n[ln(1 + r/n)]

t = ln(17,500.00/15,000.00) / ( 2 × [ln(1 + 0.08/2)] )

t = ln(17,500.00/15,000.00) / ( 2 × [ln(1 + 0.04)] )

t = 1.965 years

if a loaf of bread coast £1.52 how much change will you get from £10 if you buy 4loaves ​

Answers

Answer:

Balance will be £3.92

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of  1 loaf = £1.52

Therefore, cost of 4 loaves = 4 x 1 . 52 = £6.08

So if you pay with £10 your balance will be = 10.00 - 6.08 =  £3.92

The solution is  £ 3.92

The amount of money after the purchase of 4 loaves of bread is given by the equation A = £ 3.92

What is an Equation?

Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions flanking the equals (=) sign on either side.

It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides.

Coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and the equal to sign are some of the components of an equation. The "=" sign and terms on both sides must always be present when writing an equation.

Given data ,

Let the equation be represented as A

Now , the value of A is

The total amount of money = £ 10

The cost of one loaf of bread = £ 1.52

Now , the number of loaves of bread = 4 loaves

So , the cost of 4 loaves of bread = 4 x cost of one loaf of bread

Substituting the values in the equation , we get

The cost of 4 loaves of bread = 4 x 1.52

The cost of 4 loaves of bread = £ 6.08

The amount of money after the purchase A = total amount of money - cost of 4 loaves of bread

Substituting the values in the equation , we get

The amount of money after the purchase A = £ 10 - £ 6.08

The amount of money after the purchase A = £ 3.92

Therefore , the value of A is £ 3.92

Hence , the amount is £ 3.92

A businessman dropped a coin from the top floor of his office building and it fell according to the formula S(t)=−16t^2+2t^0.5, where t is the time in seconds and S(t) is the distance in feet from the top of the building. Step 1 of 3 : If the coin hit the ground in exactly 1.8 seconds, how high is the building? Round your answer to 2 decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

The height of the building is of 48.24 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Height after t seconds:

The height after t seconds of the coin is given by:

[tex]S(t) = -16t^2 + 2t + h[/tex]

In which h is the height of the building.

If the coin hit the ground in exactly 1.8 seconds, how high is the building?

This means that when [tex]t = 1.8, S(t) = 0[/tex]. We use this to find h.

[tex]S(t) = -16t^2 + 2t + h[/tex]

[tex]h = 16t^2 - 2t[/tex]

[tex]h = 16(1.8)^2 - 2(1.8)[/tex]

[tex]h = 48.24[/tex]

The height of the building is of 48.24 feet.

An item costs $370 before tax and the sales tax is $11.10. Find the sales tax rate::Write your answer as a percentage.​

Answers

Answer:

3%

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost x sales tax rate =tax

370 x sales tax rate = 11.10

sales tax rate =11.10/370

sales tax rate=.03 or 3%

The sales tax rate is 3% if an item costs $370 before tax and the sales tax is $11.10.

What is the percentage?

The percentage is defined as a ratio expressed as a fraction of 100.

To determine the sales tax rate, we need to divide the amount of sales tax paid by the cost of the item before tax and then multiply the result by 100% to express it as a percentage.

As per the question, the amount of sales tax paid is $11.10, and the cost of the item before tax is $370. Therefore, the sales tax rate is:

sales tax rate = tax paid / (cost of the item before tax) x 100%

sales tax rate = $11.10 / $370 x 100%

Apply the division operation,

sales tax rate = $0.03 x 100%

Apply the multiplication operation,

sales tax rate = 3%

Therefore, the sales tax rate is 3%.

Lease Plan Effectively Manages DiversityThe term, glass ceiling, was used to represent an absolute barrier or solid roadblock that prevented women from advancing to higher-level positions. The ceiling resulted in women finding themselves stuck in lower-level jobs, ones that did not have profit and loss responsibility, and jobs with less visibility, power, and influence. This scenario is changing. This case illustrates the impact motivated leadership and changing company policies can have on gender diversity in the workplace. Per the United States Department of Labor, compared to women comprising 21 percent of the workforce in 1920, women comprised nearly half of the workforce in the United States in 2013, making gender diversity issues more and more important. This activity asks you to identify and apply your knowledge of such aspects of diversity.Read the case below and answer the three questions that follow.In 2003, the representatives of Lease Plan USA's top customers were mostly women, as was most the company's employees. However, men represented a large majority of top managers at the company, reflecting the old-boys network type culture that dominated the fleet industry. New leadership decided to change this and provided career counseling to women, revised reward systems to focus on performance instead of seniority, and replaced some existing managers. Two years ago, only one of seven top executives were a woman. Now, three of the top eight executives are women.The company's new chief executive claims that these changes are motivated by strategy rather than political correctness. He says, "Lease Plan doesn't build anythingOur sustainable competitive advantages are people." Lease Plan now also implements a development program catered specifically for female employees. The program includes skills assessments, career guidance, communications, brand building, and panel discussions with female executives from other companies.Lease Plans efforts have yielded very positive results in a short period. For example, a 2006 survey showed that 35 percent of women agreed that "management supports my efforts to manage my career," which was improved the following year to 47 percent. A growing percentage of women also feel that their opportunities are growingincreased to 30 percent from 22 percent.Gerri Patton, Director of Client Activation, says the program helped her become more confident and outspoken. The 23-year Lease Plan veteran encourages her female subordinates to apply. "I wish I would have done that program 10 or 15 years ago," she says. "There's no telling where I would be...The sky would've been the limit."After reading the case please answer three multiple questions below:1) According to Eagly and Carli, and also supported by subsequent data analysis by the textbook authors, women have broken through the glass ceiling. Based on what you have read in the case, which of the following trends in gender diversity appears to be most supported by the outcomes of Lease Plans program changes?Educational attainmentwomen earned the majority of bachelors and masters degrees from 2006 through 2012.Increases in seats on boards of directorsin Fortune 550 firms up to 16.6 percent in 2013 from only 9.6 percent in 1995.Leadership positionsin educational institutions in 2010, women represented 18.7 percent of college presidents and 29.9 percent of board members.Court Appointmentsin federal court in 2013, women received 32 percent and 30 percent respectively of appointments to federal courts of appeals and US district court judge positions.None of these2) Which of Thomass generic action options for managing diversity is most illustrated in the case?suppressisolatedenyinclude/excludetolerate3) Based on the information in the case, which of the following barriers and challenges to managing diversity that were identified in the text appear to have been present at Lease Plan?an unsupportive or hostile work environmentpoor career planninglack diversity in senior managementinaccurate stereotypesdifficulty in balancing career and family issues Lorenzo bought several pounds of chocolate-covered peanuts andgave the cashier a $20 bill.
