To determine the dog's speed, we employ the formula v=d/t. Plugging the provided values into this, we get v=1.5 miles/35 minutes. Converting the time into hours is required, so we calculate: 35 minutes × (1 hour/60 minutes) = 0.58333 hours. Now, we find: v=1.5 miles/0.5833 hours = 2.57 mph. Considering the answer choices, we can eliminate all except D and E. Since E is too high at 2.875 mph, and 2 4/7 mph (D) equals approximately 2.571, which aligns with our calculation. Therefore, the correct answer is D 2 4/7 mph.

Hope this clarifies your query, and if you have more questions, don't hesitate to ask.
Thanks!

Answer E is correct, as when rounded to 3 mph and divided by 2, it yields 1.5. Since an hour consists of 60 minutes, halving that gives 30 minutes. However, because you walked a bit slower, it would actually take 5 additional minutes.

A person is standing 50 ft from a statue. The person looks up at an angle of elevation of 16o when staring at the top of the sta
AnnZ [12381]
The statue stands at a height of 21.4 feet. To explain in detail, we know that a person positioned 50 ft away from the statue looks up at an elevation angle of 16 degrees towards the top and looks down at an angle of depression of 8 degrees to see the base. To visualize, we can draw a diagram. For triangle ABF, we have that FC equals 50. We will employ trigonometric formulas to calculate x. In triangle DEF, similarly, we will apply trigonometric formulas and find that the statue's height equals x+y. Thus, the total height of the statue is found.

A thumbtack that is tossed can land point up or point down. The probability of a tack landing point up is 0.2. A simulation was
PIT_PIT [12445]

Answer:

Option C: 0.28

Detailed explanation:

This situation presents a binomial probability distribution.

We need to determine the likelihood that at least 2 thumbtacks land point up out of 5 tossed ones. This can be expressed as;

P(X ≥ 2) = P(2) + P(3) + P(4) + P(5)

Referring to the histogram;

P(5) = 0.02

P(4) = 0.02

P(3) = 0.05

P(2) = 0.19

Consequently;

P(X ≥ 2) = 0.19 + 0.05 + 0.02 + 0.02

P(X ≥ 2) = 0.28

The function h(t) = –16t2 + 28t + 500 represents the height of a rock t seconds after it is propelled by a slingshot.What does h
tester [12383]

Answer:

The height of the rock after 3.2 seconds has passed.

Step-by-step explanation:

To respond to this question, we must examine the provided function:

h(t) = –16t2 + 28t + 500

This function h(t) denotes the height of a rock t seconds after it has been launched by a slingshot.

t signifies time (in seconds)

As t is the independent variable and h is the dependent variable, the height of the rock at 3.2 seconds is expressed as h(3.2).

If you have any further questions or need clarification, feel free to ask.

Suppose we are playing draw poker. we are dealt (from a well-shuffled deck) five cards, which contain four spades and another ca
Leona [12618]
Assuming we start with a full standard deck of 52 and then draw 4 spades along with 1 card from a different suit, that leaves us with 47 cards still in the deck. We are hoping to draw another spade from these remaining cards. Initially, there were 13 spades, but after drawing five cards, 9 spades remain in the deck. The likelihood of pulling one of these 9 spades from the 47 cards is

\dfrac{\binom91\binom{38}0}{\binom{47}1}=\dfrac9{47}

In other words, we want to get any 1 of the available 9 spades while avoiding any of the other 38 non-spades, and we're drawing just a single card from the 47 cards total.
