A train goes at a speed of 70km / h. If it remains constant at that speed, how many km will it travel in 60 minutes?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Total distance travel by train =  70 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Speed of train = 70 km/h

Total time taken = 60 min = 60 / 60 = 1 hour

Find:

Total distance travel by train

Computation:

Distance = Speed × Time

Total distance travel by train = Speed of train × Total time taken

Total distance travel by train = 70 × 1

Total distance travel by train =  70 km

To the nearest square inch, what is the surface area of the square pyramid shown in the image? A. 175 in.^2 B. 200 in.^2 C. 400 in.^2 D. 700 in.^2 Please show ALL work! :D

Answers

Answer: C. 400  in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the surface area or the area of the base which is in the shape of  a square and has a side length of 10 in. So square 10 to find the area.

Area of base:  10 * 10 = 100

Next find the area of one of the triangles.

As we could see the triangle has a slant height of 15 in and a base of 10. To find the area of a triangle we multiply the base times the height and multiply it by half.

Area of one triangle.  15 * 10 = 150 * 1/2 = 75  

Since one side of the triangle has a surface area of 75 inches we will multiply it by 4 since there are four triangles to find the total surface area of the four faces.

75 * 4 = 300  

We now know that the the 4 triangles surface area dd up to 300 so we will add it to the area of the base which is 100 to find the whole surface area of the figure.

300 + 100 = 400

Credit card companies lose money on cardholders who fail to pay their minimum payments. They use a variety of methods to encourage their delinquent cardholders to pay their credit card balances, such as letters, phone calls and eventually the hiring of a collection agency. To justify the cost of using the collection agency, the agency must collect an average of at least $200 per customer. After a trial period during which the agency attempted to collect from a random sample of 100 delinquent cardholders, the 90% confidence interval on the mean collected amount was reported as ($190.25, $250.75). Given this, what recommendation(s) would you make to the credit card company about using the collection agency

Answers

Answer with  explanation:

A x% confidence interval interprets that a person can be x% confident thatthe true mean lies in it.

Here, Credit card companies is using the collection agency to justify the cost of , the agency must collect an average of at least $200 per customer.

i.e. [tex]H_0:\mu \geq200,\ \ \ H_a:\mu<200[/tex]

The 90% confidence interval on the mean collected amount was reported as ($190.25, $250.75) .

I recommend that we can be 90% sure that the true mean collected amount  lies in ($190.25, $250.75).

Also, $200 lies in it such that it is more far from $250.75 than $190.25, that means there are large chances of having an average is at least $200 per customer.

Two friends compete with each other and five other, equally good, violinists for first and second chair in an orchestra, in a blind competition What is the probability that the two friends end up as first and second chair together?

Answers

Answer: 0.0476

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Two friends and 5 other people compete with each other for first and second chair in an orchestra.

Total people in this competition= 2+5=7

By permutation , Number of ways to arrange 7 people= 7!

Also, number of ways for two friends end up as first and second chair together= 2 × 5!   [ 2 ways to arrange friends on first and second chair and 5! ways to arrange others]

I.e. Required probability = [tex]\dfrac{2\times5!}{7!}[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{2!\times5!}{7\times6\times5!}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{7\times3}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{21}\\\\=0.0476[/tex]

Hence, the probability that the two friends end up as first and second chair together = 0.0476

Answers

Answer:

Solution : Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by listing two cases made possible when r is positive, in ( r, θ ). Remember that in polar coordinates a point is expressed in an ordered pair, where r is the distance from the pole (in this case 9, as it lies on the 9th circle) and theta is the directed angle from the positive x - axis.

( 9, θ ) here theta will be the angle to the terminal side with respect to the positive x - axis. This angle will be 60 degrees more than 90, or 90 + 60 = 150 degrees

( 9, θ ) and here theta will be the remaining degrees, or 360 - 150 = 210 degrees. Right away your solution will be (9, 210°)

If the stock closes lower on a day, the probability that it closes higher the next day is .45.

(a) What is the 1-step transition matrix? (Let 1 = higher, 2 = lower)

(b) On Monday, the stock closed higher. What is the probability that it will close higher on Thursday (three days later)

Answers

Answer:

See the explanation and attached images for the answers.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 1-step transition matrix:

See the attached image for transition matrix.

Let the matrix be M

if the stock closes higher on a day, the probability that it closes higher the next day is 0.65.

If the stock closes lower on a day, the probability that it closes higher the next day is 0.45

if the stock closes higher on a day, the probability that it closes lower the next day is 1 - 0.65 = 0.35

if the stock closes lower on a day, the probability that it closes lower the next day is 1 - 0.45 =0.55

b)

To compute probability for 3 days later multiply matrix M (from part a) thrice i.e. M*M *M

[tex]M^{3} = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.65&0.35\\0.45&0.55\end{array}\right]*\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.65&0.35\\0.45&0.55\end{array}\right]*\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0.65&0.35\\0.45&0.55\end{array}\right][/tex]

(B) 40.0
(C) 60.0
(D) 62.5
(E) 77.5

Answers

Answer:

(A) 37.5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The trains x and y are travelling on tracks starting simultaneously from a from opposite ends of 100 miles roads.

Translate these information into a simple represention to visualize the problem. (Picture below)

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

First let's calculate the velocity of both trains.

The velocity formula is:

● V = d/t

d is the distance travelled and t is the tile needed to do it.

● V(x) = 100/5 = 20 miles per hour

● V(y) = 100/3 = 33.33.. wich is approximatively 33 after rounding to the nearest unit.

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

After calculateingboth velocities, Let's find when the trains meet.

First understand what does it mean matematically when both trains meet.

Go back to the representation and notice what happens when the trains meet.

Let t be that moment.

When x and y reches the meeting point at t, the sum of the distances they have travelled is equal to the total distance wich is 100 miles .

We khow that V = d/t so d = V×t

Let's find the expression of the distances both trains travelled when they have met each other.

● d = V(x) × t

● d' = V(y) × t

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

So the equation will be:

● V(x) × t + V(y) × t = 100

Factor using t

● t (V(x) + V(y) ) = 100

Replace V(x) and V(y) by their values

● t (20+33) = 100

● 53 t = 100

Divide both sides by 53

● 53t /53 = 100/53

● t = 1.88

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

Replace t in the expression of the distance that train x has travelled when meeting y.

● d = V(x) × t

● d = 20 × 1.88

● d = 37.6 wich is approximatively 37.5 miles

Find the missing coordinate

Answers

Answer:

(0, -10a)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture attached,

Coordinates of a point have been given as (-10a, 0)

x-coordinate → distance of the point from the origin on x-axis

y-coordinate → distance of the point from the origin on y-axis

Therefore, distance of the given point on x-axis = -10a [(-) sign denotes the negative side of the x-axis]

Distance of the other point with unknown coordinates (x, y) (on y-axis) from the origin = y

And y = 10a

Therefore, coordinates of the unknown point will be (0, -10a).

[Here (-) sign denotes the negative side of the y-axis]

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\text{n}(A \bigcup B)[/tex] = 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that n(A) = 4, n(B) = 5, and [tex]\text{n}(A \bigcap B)[/tex] = 3.

And we have to find the value of [tex]\text{n}(A \bigcup B)[/tex].

As we know that the union formula is given by;

[tex]\text{n}(A \bigcup B) = \text{n}(A) + \text{n}(B) - \text{n}(A \bigcap B)[/tex]

Now, substituting the values given in the question in the above formula, we get;

[tex]\text{n}(A \bigcup B) = 4+5-3[/tex]

[tex]\text{n}(A \bigcup B) = 9-3[/tex]

[tex]\text{n}(A \bigcup B) = 6[/tex]

Hence, the value of [tex]\text{n}(A \bigcup B)[/tex] = 6.

Does the function satisfy the hypotheses of the Mean Value Theorem on the given interval? f(x) = 4x2 − 3x + 2, [0, 2]

Answers

Answer:

Yes , it satisfies the hypothesis and  we can conclude that c = 1 is an element of [0,2]

c = 1 ∈ [0,2]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

[tex]f(x) = 4x^2 -3x + 2, [0, 2][/tex]

which is read as the function of x = 4x² - 3x + 2 along the interval [0,2]

Differentiating the function with respect to x is;

f(x) = 8x - 3

Using the Mean value theorem to see if the function satisfies it, we have:

[tex]f'c = \dfrac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}[/tex]

[tex]8c -3 = \dfrac{f(2)-f(0)}{2-0}[/tex]

since the polynomial function is differentiated in [0,2]

[tex]8c -3 = \dfrac{(4(2)^2-3(2)+2)-(4(0)^2-3(0)+2)}{2-0}[/tex]

[tex]8c -3 = \dfrac{(4(4)-3(2)+2)-(4(0)-3(0)+2)}{2-0}[/tex]

[tex]8c -3 = \dfrac{(16-6+2)-(0-0+2)}{2-0}[/tex]

[tex]8c -3 = \dfrac{(12)-(2)}{2}[/tex]

[tex]8c -3 = \dfrac{10}{2}[/tex]

8c -3  = 5

8c = 5+3

8c = 8

c = 8/8

c = 1

Therefore, we can conclude that c = 1 is an element of [0,2]

c = 1 ∈ [0,2]

A computer password is required to be 7 characters long. How many passwords are possible if the password requires 3 letter(s) followed by 4 digits (numbers 0-9), where no repetition of any letter or digit is allowed

Answers

Answer:

[tex]78,\!624,\!000[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the requirements:

Repetition of letter or digit is not allowed.The order of the letters and digits matters.

Because of that, permutation would be the most suitable way to count the number of possibilities.

There are [tex]\displaystyle P(26,\, 3) = \frac{26!}{(26 - 3)!} = 26 \times 25 \times 24 = 15,\!600[/tex] ways to arrange three out of [tex]26[/tex] distinct letters (without replacement.)

Similarly, there are [tex]\displaystyle P(10,\, 4) = \frac{10!}{(10 - 4)!} = 10 \times 9 \times 8 \times 7= 5,\!040[/tex] ways to arrange four out of [tex]10[/tex] distinct numbers (also without replacement.)

Therefore, there are [tex]15,\!600[/tex] possibilities for the three-letter section of this password, and [tex]5,\!040[/tex] possibilities for the four-digit section. What if these two parts are combined?

Consider: if the first three letters of the password were fixed, then there would be [tex]5,\!040[/tex] possibilities. However, if any of the first three letters was changed, the result would be another [tex]5,\!040\![/tex] possibilities, all of which are different from the previous [tex]5,\!040\!\![/tex] possibilities. These two three-letter sections along will give [tex]2 \times 5,\!400[/tex] possibilities. Since there are [tex]15,\!600[/tex] three-letter sections like that, there would be [tex]15,\!600 \times 5,\!400 = 78,\!624,\!000[/tex] possible passwords in total. That gives the number of possible passwords that satisfy these requirements.

The time it takes to install a certain hardware is random. A technician installs this hardware on 64 computers with the average installation time being 42 minutes and the standard deviation of the times being 5 minutes. What is a 90% confidence interval for the popu

Answers

Answer:

[tex]40.97<\mu<43.03[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Th formula for calculating the confidence interval of a population is expressed as shown;

CI = xbar ± Z*S/√n where;

xbar is the mean or average sample

Z is the z-score at 90% confidence

S is the standard deviation

n is the sample size

Given parameters

xbar = 42

Z at 90% CI = 1.645

S = 5

n = 64

Substituting the values into the formula will give;

CI = 42±(1.645*5/√64)

CI = 42±(1.645*5/8)

CI = 42±(1.645*0.625)

CI = 42±1.028125

CI = (42-1.028125, 42+1.028125)

CI = (40.971875, 43.028125)

Hence the 90% confidence interval for the population is approximately (40.97, 43.03) i.e [tex]40.97<\mu<43.03[/tex]
