A taxi company charges a $2.00 base fare plus an additional fare based on a per-mile rate and a per-minute rate. Ryan's first taxi ride was 3.0 miles, took 7 minutes, and cost $8.50. His second taxi ride was 7.0 miles, took 14 minutes, and cost $16.00. If his third taxi ride took 10 minutes and cost $13.50, approximately how many miles was the third taxi ride

Answers

Answer 1

A $2.00 base fare charge, and per-mile, and per-minute rates related as follows; 3•x + 7•y = 6.5 and 7•x + 14•y = 14, give the distance traveled in the third ride as 4.5 miles

How can the length of the third ride be calculated?

The base fare = $2.00

Let x represent the per-mile rate, and let y represent the per-minute rate, we have;

The cost of Ryan's first taxi ride = $8.50

Distance traveled in the first ride = 3.0 miles

Time taken during the first ride = 7 minutes

Therefore;

2 + 3•x + 7•y = 8.5

Which gives;

3•x + 7•y = 8.5 - 2 = 6.5

3•x + 7•y = 6.5...(1)

Distance traveled in the second ride = 7.0 miles

Duration of the second ride = 14 minutes

The second ride cost = $16.00

Therefore;

2 + 7•x + 14•y = 16

Which gives;

7•x + 14•y = 16 - 2 = 14

7•x + 14•y = 14...(2)

Solving the above simultaneous equations by multiplying equation (1) by 2 then subtracting the result from equation (2) gives;

(7•x + 14•y) - 2 × (3•x + 7•y) = 14 - 2×6.5 = 1

x = 1

The per-mile rate, x = $1

3•x + 7•y = 6.5

7•y = 6.5 - 3•x

7•y = 6.5 - 3×1 = 3.5

y = 3.5/7 = 1/2 = 0.5

The per-minute rate, y = $0.5

Duration of the third taxi ride = 10 minutes

Cost of the third ride = $13.50

Therefore;

2 + 1×a + 10×y = $13.50

Where a is the distance traveled during the third ride, we have;

2 + 1×a + 10×0.5 = $13.50

2 + a + 5 = 13.5

a = 13.5 - 2 - 7 = 4.5

The third ride was, a = 4.5 miles

There are 24 students in a class. if 16 are boys, what fraction of the students are boys?

Answers

Answer:

2/3 is the fraction of students who are boys.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, a fraction consists of two parts: The denominator and the numerator. The denominator is the whole, while the number is a part of the whole (and sometimes above).

1. Since in your question, there are 24 students in total in the class, the denominator will be 24.

2. You said that 16 of them are boys, so 16 is the numerator.

3. In a fraction, it will be 16/24.

4. 16/24 can be simplified into 2/3 since both 16 and 24 can be divided by 8.

So our final answer is 2/3.

(1)[3 Pts] The probability of producing a high-quality color print is 0.10. How many prints do you have to produce so that the probability of producing at least one quality print is larger than 0.90

Answers

The number of prints that the probability of producing at least one quality print is 22.

Given that the probability of producing a high-quality color print is 0.10.

The binomial distribution summarizes the number of trials or observations when each trial has an equal chance of reaching a certain value. The binomial distribution determines the probability of observing a particular number of positive results in a defined number of tests.

Probability of high-quality color print (P) = 0.1

Probability of producing not high-quality color print (1-P) = 0.9

Assume the no. of prints to produce 'n' and these are produced independently say 'x' be the no. of producing quality prints, which follows a binomial distribution.

The probability function of binomial distribution is

[tex]P(X=x)\left(\begin{array}{l}n\\ x\end{array}\right)P^x(1-P)^{n-x},x=0,1,2,.....,n[/tex]

Given that

P(X≥1)≥0.90

1-P(X=0)≥0.90

1-(1-P)ⁿ≥0.90

1-(0.90)ⁿ≥0.90

(0.90)ⁿ≥0.10

Now, taking log of both sides, we get

nlog(0.90)≥log(0.10)

n(0.1053)≥2.3025

n≥21.86

n≈22

Hence, the probability of producing a high-quality color print is 0.10 and the number of prints to produce so that the probability of producing at least one quality print is larger than 0.90 is 22.

Definition of an Equation:

An equation is defined as a mathematical assertion in which you use mathematical symbols to demonstrate the equality of two amounts. A combination of expressions with variables and constants on either side of the equality sign make up an equation.

The (x, y) coordinates from the given table are,

(-1,0), (0, -4), (1, -8)

Now, these points must satisfy the required equation.

Considering the first point (-1, 0), if we substitute these values of x and y coordinates in y=4x-4, the equality is no longer maintained.

Similarly, (-1,0) does not satisfy the second and third equations, that are, y = -x + 4 and y = x + 4, respectively, either.

Taking the fourth equation, y = -4x - 4

Putting x = -1 in this equation, we get,

y = -4(-1) - 4

y = 4 - 4

y = 0

Likewise, this equation satisfies the rest of the data in the table too.

In a study to estimate the proportion of residents in a certain city and its suburbs who favor the construction of a nuclear power plant, it is found that 74 of 100 urban residents favor the construction while only 70 of 125 suburban residents are in favor. Is there a significant difference between the proportions of urban and suburban residents who favor constructing nuclear plants

Answers

The p value for the difference is 0.005.

According to the statement

we have given that the 74 of 100 urban residents favor the construction while only 70 of 125 suburban residents are in favor.

And we have  to find the difference between them in proportions.

So,

X1 = 74 represent the number of residents in a certain city and its suburbs who favor the construction of a nuclear power plant

X2 = 70 represent the number of people suburban residents are in favor

N1  = 100 sample 1 selected

N2 = 125 sample 2 selected

AND

P1 = 0.74 represent the proportion of residents in a certain city and its suburbs who favor the construction of a nuclear power plant

And P2 = 0.56 represent the proportion of suburban residents are in favor And z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)  

Pv represent the value for the test (variable of interest)

Here we apply the Z test to find the difference then

Z = (0.74 - 0.56) / (0.64(1-0.64)(1/100+1/125) )^1/2

Now after solving

Z = 2.795.

Now The significance level provided is  ,and we can calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a two tailed test the p value would be:  

P = (z>2,795)

P = 0.005.

So, The p value for the difference is 0.005.

explain how the following problem could be solved. then, solve the problem. a full-grown dog is about one-eighth as heavy as a cow. together, they weigh 360 kg.

Answers

The problem could be solved using the linear equation in one variable, x/8 + x = 360, where x kg is the weight of a cow.

The weight of the cow, on solving the equation, is found to be 320 kg.

The weight of the full-grown dog = (1/8)*320 kg = 40 kg.

We assume the weight of the cow to be x kg.

The weight of a full-grown dog is given to be one-eight of a cow, that is, the weight of a full-grown dog = (1/8)*x = x/8 kg.

Thus, the sum of the weights of the full-grown dog and the cow = x/8 + x kg.

But, we are given that together, they weigh 360 kg.

This can be shown as the linear equation in the one variable:

x/8 + x = 360.

Thus, the problem could be solved using the linear equation in one variable, x/8 + x = 360, where x kg is the weight of a cow.

To solve the problem, we solve the equation as follows:

x/8 + x = 360,

or, (9/8)x = 360 {Simplifying},

or, x = 360*8/9 {Cross-Multiplying},

or, = 320.

Thus, the weight of the cow, on solving the equation, is found to be 320 kg.

The weight of the full-grown dog = (1/8)*320 kg = 40 kg.

There's also people in need, so you decide to blend your vacation with volunteering. Volunteering as a tourist, or voluntourism, seems like a great way to explore new regions and help people at the same time. However, this "volunteer plus travel" experience can actually harm local communities. While many teens might view traveling and volunteering abroad as a worthwhile adventure, there are more genuine and effective ways to make a difference.[2] Most would agree that volunteering in general is a worthy use of time. However, what if you found out the children you are "helping" are actually being kept in poor conditions so voluntourists will spend money to come to the local area? Dale Rolfe, a supporter of ethical voluntourism, explains the shocking reality that "Animal sanctuaries and orphanages are often manufactured for the voluntourist...encouraging a cycle of exploiting the very animals and children the volunteers are trying to help."[3] Proponents of the "volunteer plus travel" experience also argue that traveling to new places builds character and is a valuable way to learn about different cultures. With voluntourism, however, participants often pursue experiences that are all about them. For example, they sign up to build a school for a gold star on their resume, but they have no real building skills and take jobs away from local construction workers (Schulten). Or, they arrive to teach English but instead take selfies with the locals. One world traveler and ethical voluntourist believes voluntourism "can perpetuate small minded views of the world by taking insulated, fake, and structured experiences and selling them as unabridged and eye opening" (Carlos). The voluntour experience is a mirage. The voluntourist's eyes are not opened to real life at the destination, and lasting change is not achieved.[4] If you want a genuine experience where you can see a lasting impact, there are better options than voluntourism. You can volunteer in your local community. Give an hour every week to your town's animal rescue. Serve monthly dinners to the homeless. Be a reliable, positive influence on a child who needs a mentor. Studies show that volunteering and forming lasting relationships with those you help has a positive impact on your physical and emotional health. In fact, blood pressure is reduced, memory is improved, and rates of depression are reduced (Michaels).[5] There is another reason to look into alternatives to voluntourism. Did you know the average "voluntour" travel package costs $3,400 (Rolfe)? Could that travel money be better spent? If the world's citizens are your passion, it could go to an international organization. If you care about education, your funds can be used to buy books for students in faraway lands. If you want villagers to have clean water, contribute funds to local efforts to dig wells. If you want to experience a different culture, travel to the country as a guest, and learn from the locals how you can best help them after you've returned home. But do not voluntour.[6] In reality, there are better ways to make a difference. Voluntourism might appear to be an adventure that blends travel and helping others, but it does little except provide a costly, superficial experience that might actually do more harm than good. So, volunteer where you are most needed-at home, where you can stay to see the job through and form genuine, lasting relationships. Choose a beautiful coastline closer to home and send the travel money you saved to an international organization that will put it to good use. Whatever you do, don't turn someone else's hardship into your vacation.How does the speaker's rhetorical question in paragraph 2 support the purpose of the speech? It emphasizes the need for willing and wealthy volunteers to bring help to those less fortunate. It highlights how unfair life can be for certain groups of people throughout the world. It reinforces the idea that voluntourism can harm the people and communities it is meant to help. It reminds the audience that there are some who fight the injustice associated with voluntourism. Letter to a Citizen of Kentucky, an excerptExecutive Mansion, Washington,April 4, 1864.A. G. Hodges, Esq., Frankfort, Ky.My Dear Sir: You ask me to put in writing the substance of what I verbally stated the other day, in your presence, to Governor Bramlette and Senator Dixon. It was about as follows: I am naturally anti-slavery. If slavery is not wrong nothing is wrong. I cannot remember when I did not so think and feel; and yet I have never understood that the Presidency conferred upon me an unrestricted right to act officially in this judgment and feeling. It was in the oath I took that I would to the best of my ability preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. I could not take the office without taking the oath. Nor was it in my view that I might take the oath to get power, and break the oath in using the power. I understood, too, that in ordinary civil administration this oath even forbade me to practically indulge my primary abstract judgment on the moral question of slavery. I had publicly declared this many times and in many ways; and I aver that, to this day I have done no official act in mere deference to my abstract judgment and feeling on slavery. I did understand, however, that my oath to preserve the Constitution to the best of my ability imposed upon me the duty of preserving, by every indispensable means, that government, that nation, of which that Constitution was the organic law. Was it possible to lose the nation, and yet preserve the Constitution?
