Ally and Beck went fishing and caught a total of 75 fish. At home,
Ally told Jair she caught twice as many fish as she actually caught.
Beck told Jair he caught three times as many fish as he actually
caught. If what they told Jair had been true, then Ally would have
caught 75 fewer fish than Beck. How many fish did Beck actually
catch?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Beck actually caught 45 fish

Step-by-step explanation:

System of Equations

We call the following variables:

x = number of fish Ally caught

y = number of fish Beck caught

They caught a total of 75 fish, thus:

x + y = 75      [1]

If Ally had caught twice as much fish as she actually did, and Beck had caught three times as many fish as he actually did, then Ally would have caught 75 fewer fish than Beck, thus:

3y = 2x + 75      [2]

From [1]:

x = 75 - y      [3]

Substituting in [2]:

3y = 2(75 - y) + 75

Operating:

3y = 150 - 2y + 75

Simplifying:

5y = 225

Dividing by 5:

y = 45

Beck actually caught 45 fish

Answer 2

Answer:

Beck caught 45 fish

Step-by-step explanation:

a = number of fish Ally caught

b = number of fish Beck caught

They caught a total of 75 fish, so we have:

b + a = 75  

From the facts in our question we know Ally would have caught 75 fewer fish than Beck.

3b = 2a + 75  

a = 75 - b

3b = 2(75 - b) + 75

3b = 150 - 2b + 75

5b = 225

5b ÷ 5 = 225 ÷ 5

b = 45

Beck caught 45 fish.

The shaded "O" on "2" implies that 2 is included, therefore, x is either equal to 2 or less than 2 (x ≤ 2) since the line is towards our left side. This, we would have:

A diver is on a diving board 12 meters above the water. He dives vertically from the board with initial velocity of 4.9 meter/sec. how high will the diver get above the water?

Answers

Answer:

13.225 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Initial Velocity, u = 4.9m/s

Acceleration due to gravity, a = - 9.8 m/s² (downward)

Distance, S = - 12

According to the motion equation :

S = ut + 0.5at²

S = 4.9t + 0.5(-9.8)t²

S = 4.9t - 4.9t² - - - (1)

At the highest point, v = 0

v² = u + at

0 = 4.9 + - 9.8t

-9.8t = - 4.9

t = 4.9/9.8

t = 0.5s

Put t = 0.5 in (1) above

S = 4.9(0.5) - 4.9(0.5)²

S = 2.45 - 1.225

S = 1.225 m

Total height :

(12 + 1.225) m = 13.225 m

A gambler claims that horses in a horse race that start closer to the rail have an advantage over horses that start further from the rail because the horses closer to the rail have a shorter distance to travel to win the race. In a sample of 120 races, the following data show the number of winners from each starting position. If the starting position is not a factor then each starting position should have produced 20 winners.
Starting position: 1 2 3 4 5 6
# of Winners: 25 22 18 19 21 15
Test the hypothesis at the 5% level of significance to see if starting position is a factor.

Answers

Answer:

Hence, the p-value ( 0.699986) > 0.05,  FAIL TO REJECT THE NULL HYPOTHESIS

there is no significant evidence that starting position is a factor in horse races

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Starting position:     1     2     3     4     5     6

# of Winners:         25   22   18   19    21   15

Mean x" (E) = (25+22+18+19+21+15)/6 = 120/6 = 20

Observed/Expected value table;

O       E            ((O-E)²) / E

25    20            1.25

22    20            0.2

18     20            0.2

19     20           0.05

21     20           0.05

15     20           1.25

∑                         3

so using chi square = ∑(((O-E)²) / E) = 3

DF = n-1 = 6-1 = 5

then, the critical chi square value is;

significance level = 0.05

chi square( critical ) = 11.07049769

from table;

p - value = 0.699986

Hence, the p-value ( 0.699986) > 0.05,  FAIL TO REJECT THE NULL HYPOTHESIS

there is no significant evidence that starting position is a factor in horse races

If money is invested for a short period of time, simple interest is paid using the following formula.

I = Prt

P is the money invested, or principal amount, r is the simple interest rate, and t is the time, in years, the money is invested.

Given P = $2,000, t = 2 years, and I = $280, what is the simple interest rate?

A. 7%

B. 0.7%

C. 8%

D. 0.07%

Answers

Answer:

A. 7%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Principal, P = $2,000

Time, T = 2 years

Simple Interest, I = $280

To find the simple interest rate, R?

Mathematically, simple interest is calculated using this formula;

[tex] S.I = \frac {PRT}{100} [/tex]

Where;

S.I is simple interest. P is the principal. R is the interest rate. T is the time.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

[tex] 280 = \frac {2000*R*2}{100} [/tex]

Cross-multiplying, we have;

[tex] 280 * 100 = 4000*R[/tex]

[tex] 28000 = 4000R [/tex]

[tex] R = \frac {28000}{4000} [/tex]

Simple interest rate, R = 7%

A year is approximately 365.25 days. pleaasseeeeee heeelelpepepel,

Answers

Answer:

Use dimensional analysis to answer each of the following questions. To find the distance light travels in a year for part a, convert sec to yr by using unit ratios with min, hr, and days in their denominators. Thus, a light year is approximately 5,874,589,152,000 mi

The number of miles that the light covers in a light year will be 5.89 × 10¹² miles.

What is speed?

Speed is defined as the length traveled by a particle or entity in an hour. It is a scale parameter. It is the ratio of length to duration.

We know that the speed formula

Speed = Distance/Time

At 186282 miles per second.

We know that in one light year, the number of seconds will be 31.536 × 10⁶.

Then the distance is given as,

186282 = d / (31.536 × 10⁶)

d = 31.536 × 10⁶ × 186282

d = 5.89 × 10¹² miles

The number of miles that the light covers in a light year will be 5.89 × 10¹² miles.

Slope m = 12-8/2-1

m = 4/1

m = 4

Get the intercept

Substitute m = 4 and (1, 8) into y = mx+c

8 = 4(1) + c

8 - 4 = c

c = 4

Get the required equation

y = 4x + 4

The test scores on a 100-point test were recorded for 20 students:71 93 91 86 7573 86 82 76 5784 89 67 62 7277 68 65 75 84a. Can you reasonably assume that these test scores have been selected from a normal population? Use a stem and leaf plot to justify your answer.b. Calculate the mean and standard deviation of the scores.c. If these students can be considered a random sample from the population of all students, find a 95% confidence interval for the average test score in he population.

Answers

Answer: a. Yes

              b. mean = 76.65

                  standard deviation = 10.04

              c. 76.65 ± 4.4

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Stem and leaf Plot shows the frequencies with which classes of value occur. To create this plot, we divide the set of numbers into 2 columns: stem, the left column, which contains the tens digits; leaf, the right column, which contains the unit digits.

Normal distribution is a type of distribution: it's a bell-shaped, symmetrical, unimodal distribution.

A stem and leaf plot displays the main features of the distribution. If turned on its side, we can see the shape of the data.

The figure below shows the stem and leaf plot of the 100-point test score. As we can see, when turned, the plot resembles bell-shaped distribution. So, this test scores were selected from a normal population.

b. Mean is the average number of a data set. It is calculated as the sum of all the data divided by the quantity the sample has:

mean = [tex]\frac{\Sigma x}{n}[/tex]

For the 100-point test score:

mean = [tex]\frac{71+93+91+...+65+75+84}{20}[/tex]

mean = 76.65

Standard Deviation determines how much the data is dispersed from the mean. It is calculated as:

[tex]s=\sqrt{\frac{\Sigma (x-mean)^{2}}{n-1} }[/tex]

For the 100-point test score:

[tex]s=\sqrt{\frac{[(71-76.65)+(93-76.65)+...+(84-76.65)]^{2}}{20-1} }[/tex]

s = 10.04

The mean and standard deviation of the scores are 76.65 and 10.04, respectively.

c. Confidence Interval is a range of values we are confident the real mean lies.

The calculations for the confidence interval is

mean ± [tex]z\frac{s}{\sqrt{n} }[/tex]

where

z is the z-score for the 95% confidence interval, which is equal 1.96

Calculating interval

76.65 ± [tex]1.96.\frac{10.04}{\sqrt{20} }[/tex]

76.65 ± 4.4

The 95% confidence interval for the average test score in the population of students is between 72.25 and 81.05.
