A jet’s speed in still air is 240 mph. One day it flew 700 miles with a tailwind (the wind pushing it along) and then returned t

he same distance against the wind. The total flying time was 6 hours. Find the speed of the wind.

Speed of the wind for jet speed in still air 240mph and jet covers 700 miles with tailwind and same distance against the wind in total time of 6 hours is equal to 40mph.

As given in the question,

Given data:

Jet speed in still air = 240mph

Let x be the speed of the wind.

Speed with tail wind = 240 +x

Distance covered with tail wind = 700miles

Time taken by jet with tail wind

= Distance/ speed

= 700 / (240 +x)  __(1)

Speed against the wind = 240 - x

Distance covered against the wind = 700miles

Time taken by jet against the wind

= Distance/ speed

= 700 / (240 - x)  __(2)

Total time taken is 6 hours

[700 / (240 +x)] + [700 / (240 - x)] = 6

⇒ 700( 240 -x + 240 + x) = 6 (240 +x)(240 - x)

⇒ 700 ( 480) = 6 ( 240² -x²)

⇒ 700 (80) = 57600 -x²

⇒ x² = 57600 - 56000

⇒ x² = 1600

⇒ x = √1600

⇒ x= 40 mph

Therefore, speed of the wind for jet speed in still air 240mph and jet covers 700 miles with tailwind and same distance against the wind in total time of 6 hours is equal to 40mph.

A random sample of 150 men found that 88 of the men excercise regularly, while a random sample 200 women found that 130 of the w
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

The hypothesis is:

<em>H₀</em>: p_{X}-p_{Y}=0.

<em>Hₐ</em>: p_{X}-p_{Y}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = number of men who exercise regularly and <em>Y</em> = number of women who exercise regularly.

The information provided is:

n_{X}=150\\X=88\\n_{Y}=200\\Y=130

Compute the sample proportion of men and women who exercise regularly as follows:

\hat p_{X}=\frac{X}{n_{X}}=\frac{88}{150}=0.587

\hat p_{Y}=\frac{Y}{n_{Y}}=\frac{130}{200}=0.65

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Binomial distribution with parameters <em>n</em> = 150 and \hat p_{X}=0.587.

The random variable <em>Y</em> also follows a Binomial distribution with parameters <em>n</em> = 200 and \hat p_{Y}=0.65.

According to the Central limit theorem, if from an unknown population large samples of sizes <em>n</em> > 30, are selected and the sample proportion for each sample is computed then the sampling distribution of sample proportion follows a Normal distribution.

The mean of this sampling distribution of sample proportion is:

\hat p=p

The standard deviation of this sampling distribution of sample proportion is:

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

So, the sampling distribution of the proportion of men and women who exercise regularly follows a Normal distribution.

A two proportion <em>z</em>-test cab be performed to determine whether the proportion of women is more than men who exercise regularly.

The hypothesis for this test cab be defined as:

<em>H₀</em>: The proportion of women is same as men who exercise regularly, i.e. p_{X}-p_{Y}=0.

<em>Hₐ</em>: The proportion of women is more than men who exercise regularly, i.e. p_{X}-p_{Y}.
