Ice sheet movement rates have varied from about 50 to 320 meters per year for the margins of the ice sheet advancing from the Hu

dson Bay region during the Ice Age. If an ice sheet moved from the southern end of Hudson Bay to the south shore of present-day Lake Erie, a distance of 1,600 kilometers, what would the maximum amount of time required to be?

Answer:

32000 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Movement rate range from 50 to 320m per year.

The fastest is 50m/yr

The slowest is 320m/yr

The range of time must be between the time of the slowest to the fastest.

Obviously, the longest time (maximum) taken would be the slowest value

Using the formula of speed

Speed = distance/time

Time = distance/speed

We have to convert distance in km to m since the speed is in meter per year.

Distance = 1600 km = 1,600,000m

Therefore, maximum time is

t = 160000 / 50 = 32000 years.

Can someone please help with this maths !!!!!

ioda

Answer:

C) -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange your equation so that it is in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b). The m in the equation is the gradient.

y = 7 - 3x

y = -3x + 7

The m-value is -3. This means that the gradient is -3.

What is the solution: <br><br> 256x + 2 = 43x + 9

ruslelena [56]

<u>Answer:</u>

$x = \bf \frac{7}{213}$

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

To find the solution to the equation, we have to rearrange the equation to make $x$ the subject:

$256x + 2 = 43x + 9$

⇒ $256x + 2 - 2 = 43x + 9 - 2$ [Subtracting 2 from both sides]

⇒ $256x = 43x + 7$

⇒ $256x - 43x = 43x + 7 - 43x$ [Subtracting $43x$ from each side]

⇒ $213x = 7$

⇒ $\frac{213}{213}x = \frac{7}{213}$ [Diving both sides by 213]

⇒ $x = \bf \frac{7}{213}$

What is the diameter of a sphere with a volume of 498 in3, to the nearest tenth of an inch

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

9.8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Formula for volume of the sphere is = 4/3πr³</h3><h3>Form and solve the equation for the radius</h3><h3>So: 4/3πr³= 498in³</h3><h3>πr³= 498in³*3/4 which = to 373.5in³</h3><h3>r³= 373.5in³/π</h3><h3>r=∛(373.5in³/π)</h3><h3>calculate r and times the result by 2 for diameter</h3><h3>it will be 9.834...</h3><h3>nearest tenth of an inch means the accuracy is 1 decimal place because nearest tenth= 1/10 or 0.1</h3><h3>So the final answer is 9.8in</h3>

Suppose you take a simple random sample of size n=175 from the population of Reese's Pieces, still assuming that 45% of this pop

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

The probability is $P(0.35$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sample size is n = 175

The population proportion is p = 0.45

Generally the mean of the sampling distribution is $\mu_{x} = 0.45$

Generally the standard deviation is mathematically represented as

$\sigma_{x} = \sqrt{\frac{p (1-p)}{n} }$

=> $\sigma_{x} = \sqrt{\frac{0.45 (1-0.45)}{175} }$

=> $\sigma_{x} = 0.0376$

Generally the probability of that the sample proportion of orange candies will be between 0.35 and 0.55 is

$P(0.35 < X < 0.55) = P( \frac{0.35 - 0.45}{0.0376} < \frac{X -\mu_{x}}{\sigma_{x}} < \frac{0.55 - 0.45}{0.0376} )$

=> $P(0.35$

Generally $\frac{X - \mu_{x}}{\sigma_{x}} = Z (The \ standardized \ value \ of X)$

So

$P(0.35$

=> $P(0.35$

From the z-table

$P( Z< 2.6595 ) = 0.99609$

and

$P( Z< - 2.6595 ) = 0.0039128$

So

$P(0.35$

=> $P(0.35$
