A car took 6 minutes to travel between two stations that are 3 miles apart find the average speed of the car in mph
Answer: 30 mph is the answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
s = 3 miles
t = 6 minutes
so,
60 minute = 1 hour
1 minute = 1/60 hour
6 minutes = 1/60 * 6 = 0.1 hour
so
average speed = s/t
= 3/0.1 = 30 mph
15. Mark Twain one observed that the lower Mississippi River is very crooked and that over the years, as the bends and turns straighten out, the river gets shorter and shorter. Using numerical data about the length of the lower part of the river, he noticed that in the year 1700 the river was more than 1200 miles long, yet by the year 1875 it was only 973 miles long. Twain concluded that any person “can see that 742 years from now the lower Mississippi will be only a mile and three-quarters lone.” What is wrong with his inductive reasoning?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm sure he was making a joke at the expense of people who rely on mathematics rather than common sense. It is funny, but then Twain was a remarkably funny author..
The problem is that the comparison is apt using some sort of proportion, but it is absurd to think that the land holding the river would also shrink a proportional amount.
The river reached a minimum (presumably) in 1875 by cutting out all the loops that were there in 1700. The Mississippi was then a straight line from it's beginning to its delta on the gulf of Mexico. It could not get any shorter. Still, Twain managed to get laughs with his whimsical humor.

5 ft
2 ft
5 ft
Answer:
A = 16 ft^2
P = 20 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
P = perimeter
A = area
STEP 1: divide the shape into rectangles
Rectangle 1: 2ft*3ft
Rectangle 2: 2ft*5ft
STEP 2: Find the area of each rectangle
Equation for area of a rectangle = bh
Rectangle 1: b = 2, h = 3
Rectangle 2: b = 2, h = 5
(2 * 3) + (2 * 5)
6 + 10
16 ft^2
Now, we have to find the perimeter
STEP 1: Find the unknown side lengths.
To find the lengths of the sides not labeled, you have to use the lengths of the sides we already know.
The length of one parallel side is 5, and the length of another parallel side is 2. The length of the unknown side starts at the same place as the top of the side length that is 5, and ends at the top of the side length that is 2. This means that we have to subtract 2 from 5 in order to find the unknown side length.
STEP 2: Add up all the side lengths
P = 2 + 5 + 5 + 2 + 3 + 3
P = 20 ft
Don't forget to label your answers!!
I hope this made sense, it's is a little hard to explain in simple terms without being able to draw, but I hope it helped.

Suppose that a survey was taken and it showed that 18% of online shoppers in the United States would prefer to do business only with large well-known retailers. If 2700 online shoppers were surveyed, how many are willing to do business with any size retailers?
Step-by-step explanation:
You can conclude that 82% of all shoppers will do business with any retailer of any size aslong as they are on the internet.
82% of 2700 = 0.82 * 2700 =2214
which makes the other responder correct.

Consider random samples of size 1200 from a population with proportion 0.65 . Find the standard error of the distribution of sample proportions. Round your answer for the standard error to three decimal places.
Answer:
The standard error of the distribution of sample proportions is of 0.014.
Step-by-step explanation:
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.
For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]
Consider random samples of size 1200 from a population with proportion 0.65 .
This means that [tex]n = 1200, p = 0.65[/tex]
Find the standard error of the distribution of sample proportions.
This is s. So
[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{0.65*0.35}{1200}} = 0.014[/tex]
The standard error of the distribution of sample proportions is of 0.014.
Cenntura was having fun playing poker she needed the next two cards out to be heart so she could make a flesh five cards of the same suit there are 10 cards left on the deck and three our hearts what is the probability that two cards doubt to Seterra without replacement will both be hearts answer choices are in percentage for format rounded to the nearest whole number
Answer:
7% probability that the next 2 cards are hearts.
Step-by-step explanation:
Cards are chosen without replacement, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.
Hypergeometric distribution:
The probability of x successes is given by the following formula:
[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]
In which:
x is the number of successes.
N is the size of the population.
n is the size of the sample.
k is the total number of desired outcomes.
Combinations formula:
[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
In this question:
10 cards, which means that [tex]N = 10[/tex]
3 are hearts, which means that [tex]k = 3[/tex]
Probability that the next 2 cards are hearts:
This is P(X = 2) when n = 2. So
[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 2) = h(2,10,2,3) = \frac{C_{3,2}*C_{7,0}}{C_{10,2}} = 0.0667[/tex]
0.0667*100% = 6.67%
Rounded to the nearest whole number, 7% probability that the next 2 cards are hearts.
Which represents can be used to determine the slope of the linear function graphed below
A bacteria culture initially contains 100 cells and grows at a rate proportional to its size. After an hour the population has increased to 310.
(a) Find an expression for the number of bacteria after
hours.
(b) Find the number of bacteria after 3 hours.
(c) Find the rate of growth after 3 hours.
(d) When will the population reach 10,000?
Answer:
a) The expression for the number of bacteria is [tex]P(t) = 100\cdot e^{1.131\cdot t}[/tex].
b) There are 2975 bacteria after 3 hours.
c) The rate of growth after 3 hours is about 3365.3 bacteria per hour.
d) A population of 10,000 will be reached after 4.072 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The population growth of the bacteria culture is described by this ordinary differential equation:
[tex]\frac{dP}{dt} = k\cdot P[/tex] (1)
Where:
[tex]k[/tex] - Rate of proportionality, in [tex]\frac{1}{h}[/tex].
[tex]P[/tex] - Population of the bacteria culture, no unit.
[tex]t[/tex] - Time, in hours.
The solution of this differential equation is:
[tex]P(t) = P_{o}\cdot e^{k\cdot t}[/tex] (2)
Where:
[tex]P_{o}[/tex] - Initial population, no unit.
[tex]P(t)[/tex] - Current population, no unit.
If we know that [tex]P_{o} = 100[/tex], [tex]t = 1\,h[/tex] and [tex]P(t) = 310[/tex], then the rate of proportionality is:
[tex]P(t) = P_{o}\cdot e^{k\cdot t}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{P(t)}{P_{o}} = e^{k\cdot t}[/tex]
[tex]k\cdot t = \ln \frac{P(t)}{P_{o}}[/tex]
[tex]k = \frac{1}{t}\cdot \ln \frac{P(t)}{P_{o}}[/tex]
[tex]k = \frac{1}{1}\cdot \ln \frac{310}{100}[/tex]
[tex]k\approx 1.131\,\frac{1}{h}[/tex]
Hence, the expression for the number of bacteria is [tex]P(t) = 100\cdot e^{1.131\cdot t}[/tex].
b) If we know that [tex]t = 3\,h[/tex], then the number of bacteria is:
[tex]P(t) = 100\cdot e^{1.131\cdot t}[/tex]
[tex]P(3) = 100\cdot e^{1.131\cdot (3)}[/tex]
[tex]P(3) \approx 2975.508[/tex]
There are 2975 bacteria after 3 hours.
c) The rate of growth of the population is represented by (1):
[tex]\frac{dP}{dt} = k\cdot P[/tex]
If we know that [tex]k\approx 1.131\,\frac{1}{h}[/tex] and [tex]P \approx 2975.508[/tex], then the rate of growth after 3 hours:
[tex]\frac{dP}{dt} = \left(1.131\,\frac{1}{h} \right)\cdot (2975.508)[/tex]
[tex]\frac{dP}{dt} = 3365.3\,\frac{1}{h}[/tex]
The rate of growth after 3 hours is about 3365.3 bacteria per hour.
d) If we know that [tex]P(t) = 10000[/tex], then the time associated with the size of the bacteria culture is:
[tex]P(t) = 100\cdot e^{1.131\cdot t}[/tex]
[tex]10000 = 100\cdot e^{1.131\cdot t}[/tex]
[tex]100 = e^{1.131\cdot t}[/tex]
[tex]\ln 100 = 1.131\cdot t[/tex]
[tex]t = \frac{\ln 100}{1.131}[/tex]
[tex]t \approx 4.072\,h[/tex]
A population of 10,000 will be reached after 4.072 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:
a. Construct a frequency distribution of these days and display it as a histogram.
Note: See the attached excel file for the frequency distribution table, and the attached photo for the histogram.
b. Determine the mean and the median of the dad and mark their locations on the histogram.
From the attached excel file, we have:
Total of F = 10
Total of FX = 167
Therefore, we have:
Mean = 167 / 10 = 16.7
Median is the middle number after arranged the data in ascending or descending order. Using the ascending order, we have:
13 13 14 14 15 15 16 20 21 26
Since 15 and 15 are in the middle, their average are the median which is calculated as follows:
Median = (15 + 15) / 2 = 15
Note: See the attached photo for the locations of Mean and Median on the histogram.
The greatest common factor of 45a^2b^3 and 18a^4b
Answer:
9a²b
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
We need to find the greatest common factor out of 45a²b³ and 18[tex]a^{4}[/tex]b
We can split apart the monomials to make it easier
45a²b³ is 45*a²b³
18[tex]a^{4}[/tex]b is 18*[tex]a^{4}[/tex]b
First, let's find the GCF out of 45 and 18 (the number coefficients)
we can find all of the multiples of the 2 numbers:
45 is made up of 9 and 5
9 is made up of 3 and 3
so 3*3*5 is 45
18 is made up of 2 and 9
9 is made up of 3 and 3
so 2*3*3 is 18
3*3 is in both 45 and 18, so 9 is the GCF out of 45 and 18
Now let's find the GCF out of a²b³ and [tex]a^{4}[/tex]b
a²b³ made up of a² and b³
so a²b³ is a*a*b*b*b
[tex]a^{4}[/tex]b is made up of [tex]a^{4}[/tex] and b
so [tex]a^{4}[/tex]b is a*a*a*a*b
a*a*b is in both a²b³ and [tex]a^{4}[/tex]b, so the GCF out of a²b³ and [tex]a^{4}[/tex]b is a²b
Now multiply 9 and a²b together, as they are only the GCF of the parts of the monomials
9*a²b=9a²b
there's the greatest common factor of the 2 monomials
Hope this helps!

Which complex number does not lie on the line segment plotted on the graph?
Answer:
Notice that for 3 out of the 4 numbers, there is a relationship between the x and the y coordinate of the number; for 3+i, -2i, -2-4i we have that the real part is larger by 2 from the imaginary part. Thus, the points are on the same line in the imaginary plane; they satisfy x=y+2 or Re{z}=Im{z}+2. However, 2-4i does not satisfy this equation since 2 is not equal to -4+2. Hence, this point does not belong to the line that the other 3 points define.

An urn contains 2 small pink balls, 7 small purple balls, and 6 small white balls.
Three balls are selected, one after the other, without replacement.
Find the probability that all three balls are purple
Express your answer as a decimal, rounded to the nearest hundredth.
Answer:
The probability is P = 0.08
Step-by-step explanation:
We have:
2 pink balls
7 purple balls
6 white balls
So the total number of balls is just:
2 + 7 + 6 = 15
We want to find the probability of randomly picking 3 purple balls (without replacement).
For the first pick:
Here all the balls have the same probability of being drawn from the urn, so the probability of getting a purple one is equal to the quotient between the number of purple balls (7) and the total number of balls (15)
p₁ = 7/15
Second:
Same as before, notice that because the balls are not replaced, now there are 6 purple balls in the urn, and a total of 14 balls, so in this case the probability is:
p₂ = 6/14
third:
Same as before, this time there are 5 purple balls in the urn and 13 balls in total, so here the probability is:
p₃ = 5/13
The joint probability (the probability of these 3 events happening) is equal to the product between the individual probabilities, so we have:
P = p₁*p₂*p₃ = (7/15)*(6/14)*(5/13) = 0.08
