The ball followed a path modelled by the equation h = −0.001! + 0.5 + 2.5 where h is the height of the ball in feet and is the h

orizontal distance in feet.
1) Represent the distance-height relationship for each player’s ball as an equation, in a table and on a graph. Record each representation and clearly label which player the information belongs to.

2) Supposed there were no obstacles.

a. Whose ball would travel the greatest distance before hitting the ground?

b. Whose ball would travel the shortest distance before hitting the ground?

3) Suppose the fence was 350 ft from home plate. At what height was each ball when it passed over the fence?

The heights the balls hit a fence at 350 ft distance are 65 feet, 38 feet and 30 feet, respectively

<h3>Represent the distance-height relationship for each player’s ball as an equation, in a table and on a graph. </h3>

<u>Juan</u>

Juan's equation is given as:

h = -0.001d^2 + 0.5d + 2.5

h =

Set d to multiples of 50 from 0 to 400.

So, the table of values of Juan's function is:

d (ft)                   h(ft)

0                          2.5

50                        25

100                      42.5

150                        55

200                      62.5

250                        65

300                      62.5

350                        65

400                      42.5

See attachment for the graph of Juan's function

<u>Mark</u>

A quadratic function is represented as:

h = ad^2 + bd + c

Using the values on the table of values, we have:

c = 3 -- the constant value

So, the equation becomes

h = ad^2 + bd + 3

Using the two other values on the table of values, we have:

23 = a(50)^2 + b(50) + 3

38 = a(100)^2 + b(100) + 3

Using a graphing tool, we have:

a = -0.001

b = 0.45

So, Mark's equation is h(d) = -0.001d^2 + 0.45d + 3

See attachment for Mark's graph.

<u>Barry</u>

From the graph, we have the table of values of Barry's function to be:

d (ft)                   h(ft)

0                          2.5

50                        21

100                      35

150                       44

200                      48

250                       46

300                      41

350                       30

400                      14

450                      0

Using a graphing tool, we have the quadratic function to be:

y = -0.001x^2 +0.4x +2.5

<h3><u>The shortest and the greatest distance before hitting the ground</u></h3>

From the graphs, equations and tables, the distance travelled by the balls are:

Juan = 505 feet

Mark = 457 feet

Barry = 450 feet

This means that Juan's ball would travel the greatest distance while Barry's ball would travel the shortest.

<h3>The height the balls hit a fence at 350 ft distance</h3>

To do this, we set d = 350

From the graphs, equations and tables, the height at 350 ft by the balls are:

Juan = 65 feet

Mark = 38 feet

Barry = 30 feet

The above represents the height the balls hit the fence

The answer is B) multiply 3 by 3. With that 2 on top, that doesn't mean 3 times 2, that means multiply 3 by itself, however many times the number says, if that makes sense. So if there's a 2 above the 3, then that would be 3*3. If it was a 5 instead of a two, that would mean 3*3*3*3*3. Not 3*5.

Suppose a simple random sample of size nequals36 is obtained from a population with mu equals 74 and sigma equals 6. ​(a) Descri
OlgaM077 [116]

Part a)

The simple random sample of size n=36 is obtained from a population with

\mu = 74

and

\sigma = 6

The sampling distribution of the sample means has a mean that is equal to mean of the population the sample has been drawn from.

Therefore the sampling distribution has a mean of

\mu = 74

The standard error of the means becomes the standard deviation of the sampling distribution.

\sigma_ { \bar X }  =  \frac{ \sigma}{ \sqrt{n} }  \\ \sigma_ { \bar X }  =  \frac{ 6}{ \sqrt{36} }  = 1

Part b) We want to find

P(\bar X \:>\:75.9)

We need to convert to z-score.

P(\bar X \:>\:75.9)  = P(z \:>\: \frac{75.9 - 74}{1} )  \\  = P(z \:>\: \frac{75.9 - 74}{1} ) \\  = P(z \:>\: 1.9) \\  = 0.0287

Part c)

We want to find

P(\bar X \: < \:71.95)

We convert to z-score and use the normal distribution table to find the corresponding area.

P(\bar X \: < \:71.95)  = P(z \: < \: \frac{71.9 5- 74}{1} )  \\  = P(z \: < \: \frac{71.9 5- 74}{1} ) \\  = P(z \: < \:  - 2.05) \\  = 0.0202

Part d)

We want to find :

P(73\:

We convert to z-scores and again use the standard normal distribution table.

P( \frac{73 - 74}{1} \:< \: z
