Bill and Will, starting together, ran a 400-meter race, each running at a constant speed. When Bill crossed the finish line, Will was exactly 20 yards behind Bill. They decide to run the race again, this time Bill starting 20 yards behind the original starting line and each running at his same constant speed as before. This time _______ wins by _______ yards.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Bill, 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Bill and will run a 400 yard race.

Bill win by 20 yard

Suppose the speed of Bill and Will are [tex]\mathbf{v_b}, \mathbf{v_w}[/tex]

time taken for them is same for the first time

[tex]\Rightarrow t_b=t_w\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{400}{v_b}=\dfrac{400-20}{v_w}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{v_b}{v_w}=\dfrac{400}{380}\ or\ \dfrac{20}{19}\\[/tex]

Now Bill starts 20 yards behind the starting line

Ratio of their time to cover the distances is

[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{t_b}{t_w}=\dfrac{\dfrac{420}{v_b}}{\dfrac{400}{v_w}}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{t_b}{t_w}=\dfrac{420}{400}\times \dfrac{v_w}{v_b}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{t_b}{t_w}=\dfrac{21}{20}\times \dfrac{19}{20}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{t_b}{t_w}=\dfrac{399}{400}[/tex]

The obtained ratio is less than 1. Thus, the time taken by Bill is less than Will.

For the same time Bill wins

[tex]\therefore \dfrac{v_b\times t}{v_w\times t}=\dfrac{420}{x}\\\\\Rightarrow x=19\times 21\\\Rightarrow x=399\ m[/tex]

Thus, Will has covered only 399 yards.

This time Bill wins by 1 yards.

An angle measures 152° more than the measure of its supplementary angle. What is the measure of each angle?

° and
°


Answers

Answer:

14° and 166°

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so a supplementary angle is 180°.

Let's say one angle is x and the other angle is x+152.

We know these angles add up to a supplementary angle (180°) so...

x+(x+152)=180

x+x+152=180

2x+152=180

2x=28

x=14

So now we know one angle is 14°, we also know the other angle is x+152, knowing that x=14 we can plug it in 14+152= 166° for the other angle.

Hope this helps :)

Two supplementary angles when added together need to equal 180 degrees.
Let the first angle = X
The second angle would then be X - 152
Add them together to equal 180:
X + X - 152 = 180
Simplify:
2X -152 = 180
Add 152 to each side:
2X = 332
Divide both sides by 2:
X = 332 / 2
X = 166
The first angle = X = 166 degrees.
The second angle = X - 152 = 166 - 152 = 14 degrees.
The angles are 166 and 14

You attend a karaoke night and hope to hear your favorite song. The karaoke song book has 900 different songs (your favorite song is among them). Assuming that the singers are equally likely to pick any song and no song repeats, what is the probability that your favorite song is one of the 20 that you hear that night?

Answers

Answer: I'm assuming it's 20/900 because there is 900 songs in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that your favorite song is one of the 20 songs you hear that night is 1/900.

To find the probability that your favorite song is one of the 20 songs you hear that night, we can use the concept of probability.

The total number of songs in the karaoke song book is 900. Since each song is equally likely to be picked, the probability of randomly selecting your favorite song from the entire song book is 1 out of 900, or 1/900.

Now, you will hear a total of 20 songs that night. Out of those 20 songs, you want to know the probability that your favorite song is one of them. Since there is only one favorite song, the favorable outcomes are 1.

Therefore, the probability that your favorite song is one of the 20 songs you hear that night is:

Probability = (Number of favorable outcomes) / (Total number of possible outcomes)

Probability = 1 / 900

So, the probability that your favorite song is one of the 20 songs you hear that night is 1/900.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, whoever formatted that table is a criminal.

Now, slope first, it's the easiest: the slope in a table like that is the difference between two consecutive position: ie [tex]13\ 000 - 15\ 000[/tex] or [tex]11\ 000-13\ 000[/tex], being careful of subtracting the higher position (not value!) minus the lower, or right minus left. Your slope thus is [tex]-2 \ 000[/tex]. Intercept is found in two ways. One is writing the line in point slope form based on any two values and the slope we found, or since we're jumping integer to integer, you can look at the table in reverse and notice that if you go backwards (ie from 4 to 3 to 2 to 1) the value is increasing by 2000 every time. The intercept [tex]q[/tex]will be the value at 0, or 17 000

Question Write an equation of the line passing through the point A(0, 3) that is perpendicular to the line y = −1/2x−6

Answers

Answer:

The equation would be y=2x+3 I am pretty sure

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because you take the slope which is 2 from the line y=-1/2x-6. To find the slope perpendicular to the line, you need to find the exact opposite of the slope: -1/2, and in this case, it would be 2.

(Ex: if it was -3/4, you would need to use a slope of 4/3 since it is the opposite)

Then you take that slope (2) and the point (0, 3) and put it into "y-y1=m(x-x1)"

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-3=2(x-0)

-distribute the 2-

y-3=2x-0

-add 3 on both sides-

so equation would be y=2x+3

Not sure if this is all correct, but I hope it helps! :)

he Nassau Bahamas Community College (NBC) claims that students who take statistics spend on average 19 hours a week working. The population standard deviation is not known. Statistics students in MAT 102 believe students work more than 19 hours because they want to make more money.

Answers

Using the t-distribution, it is found that since the test statistic is greater than the critical value for the right-tailed test, it is found that there is enough evidence to conclude that the students' claim that they work more than 19 hours is correct.

At the null hypothesis, it is tested if they spend on average 19 hours a week working, that is:

[tex]H_0: \mu = 19[/tex]

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if they spend more than 19 hours a week working, that is:

[tex]H_1: \mu > 19[/tex]

We have the standard deviation for the sample, hence, the t-distribution is used.

The test statistic is given by:

[tex]t = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

The parameters are:

[tex]\overline{x}[/tex] is the sample mean. [tex]\mu[/tex] is the value tested at the null hypothesis. s is the standard deviation of the sample. n is the sample size.

Searching the problem on the internet, it is found that the values of the parameters are:

[tex]\overline{x} = 24.2, \mu = 19, s = 12.59, n = 25[/tex]

Hence, the value of the test statistic is:

[tex]t = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{24.2 - 19}{\frac{12.59}{\sqrt{25}}}[/tex]

[tex]t = 2.07[/tex]

The critical value for a right-tailed test, as we are testing if the mean is greater than a value, with a significance level of 0.05 and 25 - 1 = 24 df is of [tex]t^{\ast} = 1.71[/tex]

Since the test statistic is greater than the critical value for the right-tailed test, it is found that there is enough evidence to conclude that the students' claim that they work more than 19 hours is correct.
