Dr. Spike is a big fan of Bojangles and is particularly interested in the popularity of its celebrated wings dinner. Starting fr

om January, he would visit the local Bojangles on randomly selected days. Upon each visit, he would ask the manager how many wings dinners were sold on the previous day. By the end of March, he had visited Bojangles for a total of 31 times and thus collected 31 sale records of wings dinners. It was found that the sample mean was 26.2 sales with a sample standard deviation of 12.8. He would like to use this information to estimate the average number of wings dinner sold per day between January and March using a confidence interval. (This particular Bojangles sold 10725 wings dinners last year, but Dr. Spike does not know this.)
Which of the following facts is not relevant for evaluating whether or not a confidence interval for the mean number of wings dinners sold per day can be calculated using this data? Select one:

a. The number of sampled days is 32, which is a sufficient sample size for the confidence interval to be meaningful.
b. The days he visited were randomly selected, so the sample is representative of the population.
c. Since three sample standard deviations below the sample mean is negative (26.2-3*12.8 = -12.2), the distribution of wings dinner sales is positively skewed, and therefore not normal so the confidence interval will not be meaningful.
d. All of the above statements are relevant.

Answer:

c

Step-by-step explanation:

If the data is skewed, it indicates a disparity in spread between the upper and lower halves. In this case, there’s insufficient evidence to assert that the data is centered around the mean or has outliers. Hence, we cannot conclude that the distribution of wings dinner sales is abnormal.

Line RS intersects triangle BCD at two points and is parallel to segment DC. Triangle B C D is cut by line R S. Line R S goes th
Zina [3914]

Answer:

The correct statements are;

1) ΔBCD is similar to ΔBSR

2) BR/RD = BS/SC

3) (BR)(SC) = (RD)(BS)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Since RS is parallel to DC, we conclude that;

∠BDC = ∠BRS (Angles formed on the same side of the transversal)

Furthermore;

∠BCD = ∠BSR (Angles formed on the same side of the transversal)

∠CBD = ∠CBD (Reflexive property)

Thus;

ΔBCD ~ ΔBSR by the Angle-Angle-Angle (AAA) similarity criterion.

2) Given that  ΔBCD ~ ΔBSR, we obtain;

BC/BS = BD/BR → (BS + SC)/BS = (BR + RD)/BR = 1 + SC/BS = RD/BR + 1

1 + SC/BS = 1 + RD/BR thus, SC/BS = 1 + BR/RD - 1

SC/BS = RD/BR

By inverting both sides we find;

BR/RD = BS/SC

3) From BR/RD = BS/SC, we apply cross multiplication;

BR/RD = BS/SC leads to;

BR × SC = RD × BS → (BR)(SC) = (RD)(BS).

In triangle RST, m∠R > m∠S + m∠T. Which must be true of triangle RST? Check all that apply.
zzz [4022]

Answer:

∠ R > 90°

\angle s + \angle T < \angle 90

\angle R > \angle T

\angle R > \angle S    

Explicación paso a paso:

Dado que en el triángulo RST

\angle R> (\angle s +\angle T)

Ahora, según la condición, un ángulo es mayor que la suma de los otros dos ángulos.

En un triángulo, la suma de los tres ángulos es 180°

Por lo tanto, si un ángulo mide  90°, la suma de los otros dos debe ser igual a 90°

Y si uno de los ángulos es de 90°, solo los otros dos pueden ser de 45° cada uno.

Aquí suponiendo que el ángulo s = ángulo T = 30°, entonces con esta condición el ángulo r sería de 120°, que es mayor que 90°.

De lo anterior, se concluye que

Para, \angle R> (\angle s +\angle T)

∵ ∠ R = 120°, por lo tanto es mayor que 90°.

Es decir, ∠ R > 90°

\angle s + \angle T < \angle 90

\angle R > \angle T

\angle R > \angle S   Respuesta

Answer:

Part A. At least 6 hours

Part B. In less than 2.5 hours, Elijah will fall behind Mercedes

Part C. In over 2.5 hours, Elijah will lead Aubrey

Step-by-step explanation:

D = distance

v = speed

t = time

Formula connecting D, v, and t:

D=v\cdot t

Part A.

Steve's speed: v=3.5\ mph

Distance: a minimum of 21 miles

Time: unknown, so

3.5\cdot t\ge 21\\ \\35t\ge 210\ [\text{Multiplied by 10}]\\ \\t\ge \dfrac{210}{35}\\ \\t\ge \dfrac{30}{5}\\ \\t\ge 6

It would require Steve a minimum of 6 hours to traverse at least 21 miles on Day 1.

Part B.

Mercedes's speed: v_M=2.4\ mph

Elijah's speed: v_E=3.2\ mph

Elijah's Distance walked: D_E miles

Mercedes's Distance walked: D_M miles

Time: x hours

Mercedes is 2 miles ahead, therefore

D_E=3.2x\\ \\D_M=2.4x+2

Elijah will trail behind until

D_E

In 2.5 hours, Elijah will close the gap on Mercedes, and in less than 2.5 hours, Elijah will trail behind her.

Part C.

Aubrey's speed: v_M=3\ mph

Elijah's speed: v_E=3.2\ mph

Elijah's Distance walked: D_E miles

Aubrey's Distance walked: D_A miles

Time: x hours

At the beginning of Day 3, Elijah starts from Mile 42, while Aubrey begins at Mile 42.5.

D_E=42+3.2x\\ \\D_A=42.5+3x

Elijah will be ahead of Aubrey when

D_E>D_A\\ \\42+3.2x> 42.5+3x\\ \\3.2x-3x>42.5-42\\ \\0.2x>0.5\\ \\2x>5\ [\text{Multiplied by 10}]\\ \\x>\dfrac{5}{2}\\ \\x>2.5\ hours

In 2.5 hours, Elijah will surpass Aubrey, and after more than 2.5 hours, Elijah will outpace Aubrey.

The Sears Tower, at 1,451 feet, is one of the tallest structures in the United States. A penny is thrown from the top of the tow
Leona [4166]

Answer:

The formula representing the penny's height as a function of time is:

h(t)=1451-16t^2

After 7 seconds, the height of the penny will reach 667 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The penny experiences free fall.

With an initial velocity of zero and an initial height of h(0)=1,451.

Gravity acts as the acceleration, measured as g=32 ft/s^2.

The model can be initiated by analyzing speed:

dv/dt=-g\\\\v(t)=v_0-gt=-gt

Then, the height is expressed as:

dh/dt=v(t)=-gt\\\\h(t)=h_0-\dfrac{gt^2}{2}=1451-\dfrac{32}{2}t^2\\\\\\h(t)=1451-16t^2

The height of the penny at approximately 7 seconds can be calculated as:

h(7)=1451-16(7^2)=1451-16*49=1451-784=667

After 7 seconds, the penny will stand at a height of 667 feet.
