Two cyclists, 68 miles apart, start riding toward each other at the same time. One cycles 3 miles per hour faster than the other, and they meet after 4 hours of riding.

a. Write an equation using the information as it is given above that can be solved to answer this problem. Use the variable r to represent the speed of the slower cyclist. __________________

b. What are the speeds of the two cyclists? __________________

Answer:

  a) r + (r+3) = 68/4 . . . . equation to answer the question

  b) r = 7, r+3 = 10 . . . miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The combined speed of the two cyclists is found from the time it takes for them to close the distance between them. The faster cyclist is traveling at (r+3) miles per hour.

  speed = distance/time

  r + (r+3) = 68/4 . . . . an equation to answer the problem

__

b. Solving the above equation helps us answer the question

  2r +3 = 17 . . . simplify

  2r = 14 . . . . . subtract 3

  r = 7 . . . . . . divide by 2

  r+3 = 10

The speeds of the two cyclists are 7 miles per hour and 10 miles per hour.

The lower the standard error: Multiple Choice the more precisely the parameter estimates the true values. the less confident the manager can be that the parameter estimates reflect the true values. the less precisely the parameter estimates the true values. the more confident the manager can be that the parameter estimates reflect the true values.

Answers

Answer:

The more confident the manager can be that the parameter estimates reflect the true values.

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard error:

The standard error is a parameter that is direct proportional to the margin of error of a confidence interval, that is, the higher the standard error, the higher the margin of error of the confidence interval.

A lower margin of error leads to a more precise interval, thus, a lower standard error will also mean a higher confidence for the estimate, and thus, the correct option is:

The more confident the manager can be that the parameter estimates reflect the true values.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached triangle

Find x

To find x, we make use of the following trigonometry ratio;

[tex]\tan(\theta) = \frac{Opposite}{Adjacent}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\tan(50) = \frac{x}{8}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

the standard error of data set is 2.628

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

set;

x = 9, 13, 21, 30, 31, 31, 34, 25, 28, 20

To get the standard of Error for this data set, we use the formual

S.E = s / √n

First we determine the mean average;

Mean x' = ∑x / n =  ( 9 + 13 + 21 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 34 + 25 + 28 + 20 ) / 10

x' = 242 / 10

Mean x' = 24.2

Next we find the standard deviation s:

x             (x-x')²

9           231.04

13          125.44

21          10.24

30         33.64

31         46.24

31         46.24

34        96.04

25        0.64

28        14.44

20        17.64

Total ∑(x-x')² = 621.6

so Variance = ∑(x-x')² / (n-1) = 621.6 / ( 10 - 1 )  = 621.6 / 9

Variance = 69.0667

Standard deviation S = √Variance

Standard deviation S = √69.0667

Standard deviation S = 8.3106

So we substitute into our formula to get the standard of error;

S.E = 8.3106 / √10

S.E = 2.628

Therefore, the standard error of data set is 2.628

The manager of a pizza chain in Albuquerque, New Mexico, wants to determine the average size of their advertised 13-inch pizzas. She takes a random sample of 37 pizzas and records their mean and standard deviation as 13.50 inches and 1.90 inches, respectively. She subsequently computes the 95% confidence interval of the mean size of all pizzas as [12.89, 14.11]. However, she finds this interval to be too broad to implement quality control and decides to reestimate the mean based on a bigger sample. Using the standard deviation estimate of 1.90 from her earlier analysis, how large a sample must she take if she wants the margin of error to be under 0.5 inch

Answers

Answer:

She must take a sample of 56.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.025[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.025 = 0.975[/tex], so Z = 1.96.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

Standard deviation estimate of 1.90

This means that [tex]\sigma = 1.9[/tex]

Wow large a sample must she take if she wants the margin of error to be under 0.5 inch?

This is n for which M = 0.5. So

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.5 = 1.96\frac{1.9}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]0.5\sqrt{n} = 1.96*1.9[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96*1.9}{0.5}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96*1.9}{0.5})^2[/tex]

[tex]n = 55.5[/tex]

Rounding up:

She must take a sample of 56.

Answers

Answer:

There are two solutions for [tex]b[/tex]: [tex]b = + 30\cdot z[/tex], [tex]b = -30\cdot z[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

By Algebra, we know that a polynomial is a perfect square trinomial if it is of the form:

[tex]a^{2} + 2\cdot a \cdot c + c^{2} = (a + c)^{2}[/tex] (1)

By direct comparison, we have the following system:

[tex]a^{2} = 25\cdot z^{2}[/tex], [tex]c^{2} = 36[/tex], [tex]2\cdot a \cdot c = b[/tex].

There are two possible solutions for [tex]b[/tex]:

1) [tex]a = \pm 5\cdot z[/tex], [tex]c = \pm 6[/tex], [tex]b = + 30\cdot z[/tex]

2) [tex]a = \pm 5\cdot z[/tex], [tex]c = \mp 6[/tex], [tex]b = -30\cdot z[/tex]

2logb - 3logb = log8b - log4b​

Step-by-step explanation:

2logb - 3logb = log8b - log4b

log[tex]b^{2}[/tex] - log[tex]b^{3}[/tex] = log8b - log4b

log([tex]\frac{1}{b}[/tex]) = log(2)

Use the graph to answer the questions.

1) write into vertex form.

2) identify the vertex, focus, and directrix.

Answers

Answer:

y = 2( x+5)^2 -4

Vertex (-5,-4)

directrix  y = -33/8

focus (-5, -31/8)

Step-by-step explanation:

First identify the vertex, which is the minimum

Vertex = (-5,-4)

The vertex form is y = a( x-h)^2 + k

y = a( x- -5)^2 -4

y = a( x+5)^2 -4

We need to determine a

Substitute a point on the graph

(-3,4) is on the graph

4 = a( -3+5)^2 -4

4 = a( 2)^2 -4

4 = 4a -4

Add 4 to each side

8 = 4a

Divide by 4

8/4 = a

a=2

y = 2( x+5)^2 -4

To find the focus and directrix, write in standard form

4p(y-k)=(x-h)^2

y+4 = 2(x+5)^2

1/2 (y+4) = (x+5)^2

4p = 1/2

p = 1/8

The focal length is 1/8

Subtract this from the y coordinate to get the directrix

y = -4 -1/8

y = -32/8 - 1/8 = -33/8

Add this to the y coordinate to get the coordinate for the focus the x coordinate the same

(-5, -4+1/8)

(-5, -32/4+1/8)

(-5, -31/8)

A. 7n - 4
B. 7n+4
C. 14n -8
D. 14n +8

Answers

Answer:

C 14n - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

rectangle area = length×width = 12n²-19n-21

width = 3n-7

what do we need to multiply with width to get the full area expression ?

think : what do we need to multiply with 3n to get 12n² (4n)?

and what to multiply with -7 to get -21 (3)?

=> length = 4n+3

perimeter is 2×length + 2×width

p = 2(3n-7) + 2(4n+3) = 6n-14+8n+6 = 14n-8
