Suppose that the number of drivers who travel between a particular origin and destination during a designated time period has a

a(t) = 210 - 5t

(1) What does t represent?

Since t is given in minutes, it stands for time.

Interpreting t as the balloon’s altitude is incorrect since a(t) represents altitude.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Time elapsed since the balloon starts descending

This is the correct interpretation.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Time for the balloon to reach ground level is incorrect because that would be a fixed moment, not a variable t.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(2) What does a(t) represent?

The balloon’s altitude

This is the correct answer.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Time since descent began is incorrect because that is represented by t.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Time to reach the ground is inaccurate since a(t) is altitude, not time.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(3) What does a(5.5) signify?

It does not represent the time to reach 5.5 feet altitude.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The altitude of the balloon after 5.5 minutes

This is the correct interpretation since a(5.5) is altitude when t = 5.5 minutes.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is not the time needed to reach the ground.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5.5 minutes alone is not correct because a(t) denotes altitude, not time.

a(5.5) refers to altitude at t = 5.5 minutes.

Answer:

The answer is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Got it!
There are 2π radians in a complete circle.

Now, let's calculate the circumference.
5/2π = 60/circumference.
Next, solve for the circumference.
By multiplying both sides by 2π, we have: 5 * circumference = 120π.
Now divide both sides by 5, and we find: circumference = 24π.

Using the formula c = 2πr,
we set 24π = 2πr.
Dividing both sides by 2π gives us r = 12. Thus, the radius measures 12cm.

1) 4.55

2) Short hit

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

The score and corresponding probabilities are shown in the following table:

Score 3 4 5 6 7

Probability 0.15 0.40 0.25 0.15 0.05

Let us define

X = Miguel's score on the Water Hole

The expected value of the variable X can be represented as:

where

represents the different possible outcomes of X

denotes the associated probabilities

Accordingly, the expected value of Miguel's score is calculated as follows:

2)

Here, we will again consider:

X = Miguel's score on the Water Hole

In this case:

- For a successful long hit, the expected value of X is

- Conversely, if the long hit isn't successful, the expected value of X becomes

We also know that the likelihood of succeeding with a long hit is

Consequently, the chance of failure in a long hit is

Thus, the expected value of X when opting for the long hit strategy is:

In the first part of this question, we calculated the expected value using the short hit strategy, yielding:

Given that the expected value for X is smaller (which is better) when utilizing the short hit option, we can conclude that this approach is superior.
