Given that one regular cone uses 2 scoops of icecream

Richard scooped 234 regular cones

so amount of scoope in regular cones = 2*234 scoops.

Given that one large cone uses 3 scoops of icecream

Richard scooped 156 large cones.

so amount of scoope in large cones = 3*156 scoops.

Total scoops used = 2*234+3*156= 468+468= 936 scoops

Given that one scoop of ice cream = 3 ounce

then 936 scoops = 936*3 ounce = 2808 ounce

Given that 1 tube contains 10 pounds.

There are 16 ounces into 1 pound

so that means 1 tube contains 10*16= 160 ounce.

Now we want to calculate numbe of tubes used

so we will divide weight of total used scoops by weight of 1 tube

which is 2808/160 =17.55

Hence answer is approx 18 tubes.

Peter leaves Mitchell's house traveling 30 mph. Mitchell leaves 15 min later, trying to catch up to peter, going 40 mph. if they

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

45 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

At 30 mph for 1/4 hour, Peter has a 7.5 mile head start. After he leaves, Mitchell closes that gap at the rate of 40-30 = 10 miles per hour. It will take him ...

t = d/s

t = (7.5 mi)/(10 mi/h) = 0.75 h

to catch Peter.

Mitchell will catch Peter in 45 minutes.

__

<em>Alternate Solution</em>

Another way to look at it is that Mitchell's 10 mph advantage is 1/3 of Peter's speed, so it will take 1/(1/3) = 3 times the period of Peter's head start:

3 × 15 minutes = 45 minutes . . . for Mitchell to catch Peter

_____

You can write equations involving time and distance and see where the distances traveled become the same. You need to be careful choosing the time reference, since you're concerned with Mitchell's travel time. I personally prefer to work "head start" problems by considering the differences in time and speed, as above. This is where you end up using the equations approach, anyway.

A simulation was conducted using 10 fair six-sided dice, where the faces were numbered 1 through 6. respectively. All 10 dice we

kompoz [17]

Answer:

C) a sample distribution of a sample mean with n = 10

$\mu_{{\overline}{X}} = 3.5$

and $\sigma_{{\overline}{Y}} = 0.38$

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the random experiment is rolling 10, 6 faced (with faces numbered from 1 to 6) fair dice and recording the average of the numbers which comes up and the experiment is repeated 20 times.So, here sample size, n = 20 .

Let,

$X_{ij}$ = The number which comes up on the ith die on the jth trial.

∀ i = 1(1)10 and j = 1(1)20

Then,

$E(X_{ij})$ = $\frac {1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6}{6}$

= 3.5 ∀ i = 1(1)10 and j = 1(1)20

and,

$E(X^{2}_{ij}$ = $\frac {1^{2} + 2^{2} + 3^{2} + 4^{2} + 5^{2} + 6^{2}}{6}$

= $\frac {1 + 4 + 9 + 16 + 25 + 36}{6}$

= $\frac {91}{6}$

$\simeq$ 15.166667

so, $Var(X_{ij}$ = $(E(X^{2}_{ij} - {(E(X_{ij})}^{2})$

$\simeq 15.166667 - 3.5^{2}$

= 2.91667

and $\sigma_{X_{ij}}$ = $\sqrt {2.91667}[/tex [tex]\simeq 1.7078261036$

Now we get that,

$Y_{j} = \frac {\sum_{j = 1}^{20}X_{ij}}{20}$

We get that $Y_{j}'s$ are iid RV's ∀ j = 1(1)20

Let, ${\overline}{Y} = \frac {\sum_{j = 1}^{20}Y_{j}}{20}$

So, we get that $E({\overline}{Y}) = E(Y_{j})$

= $E(X_{ij}$ for any i = 1(1)10

= 3.5

and,

$\sigma_{({\overline}{Y})} = \frac {\sigma_{Y_{j}}}{\sqrt {20}} = \frac {\sigma_{X_{ij}}}{\sqrt {20}} = \frac {1.7078261036}{\sqrt {20}} [tex]\simeq 0.38$

Hence, the option which best describes the distribution being simulated is given by,

C) a sample distribution of a sample mean with n = 10

$\mu_{{\overline}{X}} = 3.5$

and $\sigma_{{\overline}{Y}} = 0.38$
