John is filling a bathtub that is 18 inches deep. He notices it takes 2 mins. To fill the tub 3 inches of water. He estimates it

will take 10 more minutes for the water to reach the top of the tub if it continues at the same rate. Is he correct. Explain

The bathtub's depth measures 18 inches

It takes 2 minutes to fill 3 inches of the bathtub

Subsequently

The remaining depth needed for filling with water = (18-3) inches

                                                                        = 15 inches

The time needed to fill the remaining 15 inches of the bathtub = (15*2)/3 minutes

                                                                      = 30/3 minutes

                                                                      = 10 minutes

Therefore, John is right in believing that it will require an additional 10 minutes to fill the tub to the brim at the same rate.

Hope this clarifies things!

John's assumption about it taking ten more minutes is incorrect; it will actually take 12 minutes more.

If you use a piece of paper and make 18 hash marks (representing the 18 inches of the tub) like this:

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

and group them in sets of three (which represent each 3 inches):

III III III III III III

You would see that there are six groups of three. Since filling the initial 3 inches took two minutes, every subsequent three inches will also require the same time. If you multiply 2 by 2 for each group, you will arrive at the total of 12.

Student researchers Haley, Jeff, and Nathan saw an article on the Internet claiming that the average vertical jump for teens was
tester [12383]

Answer:

At the α = 0.10 level, there is no substantial evidence indicating that the average vertical jump for students at this school differs from 15 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

A hypothesis test is necessary to verify the assertion that the average vertical jump of students diverges from 15 inches.

The null and alternative hypotheses are:

H_0: \mu=15\\\\H_a: \mu\neq15

The significance level is set at 0.10.

The sample mean recorded is 17, and the sample standard deviation is 5.37.

The degrees of freedom are calculated as df=(20-1)=19.

The t-statistic is:

t_{19}=\frac{M-\mu}{s_M/\sqrt{n}} =\frac{17-15}{5.37/\sqrt{20}}=\frac{2}{5.37/4.47} =2/1.20=1.67

The two-tailed P-value corresponding to t=1.67 is P=0.11132.

<pSince this P-value exceeds the significance level, the result is not significant. Therefore, the null hypothesis remains unchallenged.

At the α = 0.10 level, there is no compelling evidence that the average vertical jump of students at this school deviates from 15 inches.

Leona [12618]
Mel descends 50-35=15 feet in 5-2=3 seconds. Thus, her descent rate is 15/3=5 ft/sec.
Victor descends 60-50=10 feet in 4-1=3 seconds. Hence, his descent rate is 10/3=3⅓ ft/sec. Mel is faster, traveling at 5 ft/sec.

Inessa [12570]
I appreciate you sharing your question. A potential solution to the problem is that 10 ones can be converted into 1 ten, resulting in the total of the ungrouped values of 4,000 + 900 + 10, which sums up to 5,000. I trust my explanation will be beneficial.
