An athletics squad trains on a long straight track with dots marked at 10m intervals. The coach sets out cones on some of the dots for the squad's sprint training drills. She wants the squad to be able to run any distance which is a multiple of 10m, up to some maximum distance which depends on the number of cones.


Explain why it is not possible to place four cones A, B, C, D, in a line so that each multiple of 10m up to 70m can be run between two of the cones.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

There are 6 ways to run 10 m between two cones of the four cones giving a maximum available distance to run as 60 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters given are

Distance between two cones = 10 m

Number of cones = 4

Therefore, number of ways to choose two 10 m distances (distance between two cones) from the four cones = [tex]\binom{4}{2}[/tex] = 6

Hence there are only six 10 m distances to run between two cones which gives a maximum distance available to run as 60 m.

An integer is chosen at random from first hundred natural numbers. The probability that the integer chosen the multiple of 5 is

Answers

Answer: 0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The first hundred natural numbers are 1 to 100.

Now, the numbers that are multiples of 5 are the numbers that end in 5 or 0, so we have:

5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100

So in the range, we have 20 multiples of 5.

Now, when we select at random, each number has the same probability of being selected, then the probability of randomly selecting a multiple of 5 is equal to the number of multiples of 5 divided the total number of options in the set.

we have 20 multiples of 5, and in the set we have a total of 100 numbers, then the probability is:

P = 20/100 = 0.2

The remaining time would be [tex]\frac{x}{2}[/tex], becasye half of what has already passed remains until the end of the day.

Morgan wants to save to buy a car and decides to open a banking account that is offering an interest rate of 4.5% compounded annually. How much will Morgan have in the account after 5 years if $7,000 is deposited today?

Answers

Answer:

He'll have approximately $8723.3 on his account in five years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the amount invested is compounded yearly, we can calculate the amount he'll have in 5 years by using the following expression:

[tex]M = C*(1 + r)^t[/tex]

Where M is the final amount, C is the invested money, r is the interest rate and t is the time elapsed in years. Applying the data from the problem we have:

[tex]M = 7000*(1 + \frac{4.5}{100})^5\\M = 7000*(1 + 0.045)^5\\M = 7000*(1.045)^5\\M = 8723.274\\[/tex]

He'll have approximately $8723.3 on his account in five years.

Answers

Answer: Attached graph in the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to graph points in a Cartesian coordinate graph.

The horizontal axis is called the x-axis, and the vertical axis is the y-axis.

To graph a point, first we have to locate its position on the x-axis, and then find its location on the y-axis, and finally plot where these meet.

For example, to plot the point (2, 3), we have to find the positive 2 on the x-axis and the positive 3 on the y-axis.

Finally when we have plotted all the points, we simply link all the points to form a line.

The scatter plot shows the number of oranges picked, in hundreds, in relation to the number of lemons harvested, in hundreds, by several farmers.

According to the plot, which value is the best estimate of the correlation coefficient of the data?

A. -0.2 B. -0.9 C. 0.9 D. 0.2

*See attachment for the scatter plot.

Answer:

C. 0.9

Step-by-step explanation:

The scatter plot given in the graph attached shows a relation between oranges picked and the number of lemon that is harvested as the line slopes in an upward direction. This suggest a positive correlation coefficient, because as the variable on the Y-axis increases, the variable on the X-axis also increases in the same direction. Hence, our correlation coefficient would be a positive value.

Also, the correlation coefficient would be close to 1, because the points on the scatter plot seem clustered and aligned along the line slope.

Therefore, the best estimated value for the correlation coefficient would be C. 0.9.

The next clue eliminates every number except 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, and 60.

5, 10, 15 are less than 20 and eliminated (60 is eliminated because it is more than 50).

Sue invests £9000 in an account for one year.
At the end of the year, interest is added to her account.
Sue pays tax on this interest at a rate of 20%
She pays £30.24 tax.
Work out the percentage interest rate for the account.

Answers

Answer:

£151.20

Step-by-step explanation:

20%= 100%divided by 5

To find 100% from 20% you x by 5

so you times 30.24 by 5

30.24x 5 = 151.2

So the answer is £151.20

interest percentage rate would be 1.6754%

The interest rate for the account is 1.68%

What is interest rate?

The interest rate is the amount a lender charges a borrower and is a percentage of the principal the amount loaned.

Given that,

Sue invests £9000 in an account for one year.

She pays £30.24 at a rate of 20%

So, 20% of the interest = £30.24

Let the interest be x,

X0.2 = 30.24

X = £151.2

The total interest was = £ 151.2

The rate R at which generated this interest =

R = (100 × 151.2)/(1 × 9000)

R = 15120/9000

R = 1.68%

Hence, the interest rate = 1.68%

In a dilation, when its scale factor is less than 1, the pre-image will be lesser than the image.

However, when the scale factor is greater than 1, the pre-image will be greater than the image.

The Image of the dilation of [tex](9,-5)[/tex] with a scale factor of 2.5 is therefore:
