A plane flies round-trip to Philadelphia. It flies to Philadelphia at 220 miles per hour and back home with a tailwind at 280 mi

les per hour. If the total trip takes 6.5 hours, how many miles does the plane fly round-trip?

1430 miles in 6.5 hours because you multiply 220 by 6.5 and equals 1430miles

How does the volume of an oblique cylinder change if the radius is reduced to 2/9 of its original size and the height is quadrup

nordsb [41]

For the answer to the question above,
Let's use the formula for finding the volume.

(pi) x 2/9 x 2/9 x r^2

(pi) x <u>2</u> x <u>2</u> x r^ 2 x 4h
9 9

simplify and solve.

The the will be

Using 1, 3, 5, 9, and 9 create a problem in which the answer equals 5. You may use operations more than once.

you add 1+9 which would be 10 then minus 5 which would be 5

Find the inverse of the linear function: y = 1/2 x + 3

kogti [31]

What you want to do is change the variable positions of X and Y
So it would be a new equation of
x = 1/2y + 3
Then you would need Y to be by itself so you solve for that
x-3 = 1/2 y
then,
2(x-3) = y
Your inverse function is 2(x-3) = y
Hope this helped :D

"The municipal transportation authority determined that 58% of all drivers were speeding along a busy street. In an attempt to r

vredina [299]

Answer:

a) X=77 drivers

b) Power of the test = 0.404

c) Increasing the sample size.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test of proportions. As the claim is that the speed monitors were effective in reducing the speeding, this is a left-tail test.

For a left-tail test at a 5% significance level, we have a critical value of z that is zc=-1.645. This value is the limit of the rejection region. That means that if the test statistic z is smaller than zc=-1.645, the null hypothesis is rejected.

The proportion that would have a test statistic equal to this critical value can be expressed as:

$p_c=\pi+z_c\cdot\sigma_p$

The standard error of the proportion is:

$\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.58*0.42}{150}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.001624}=0.04$

Then, the proportion is:

$p_c=\pi+z_c\cdot\sigma_p=0.58-1.645*0.04=0.58-0.0658=0.5142$

This proportion, with a sample size of n=150, correspond to

$x=n\cdot p=150\cdot0.5142=77.13\approx 77$

The power of the test is the probability of correctly rejecting the null hypothesis.

The true proportion is 0.52, but we don't know at the time of the test, so the critical value to make a decision about rejecting the null hypothesis is still zc=-1.645 corresponding to a critical proportion of 0.51.

Then, we can say that the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis is still the probability of getting a sample of size n=150 with a proportion of 0.51 or smaller, but within a population with a proportion of 0.52.

The standard error has to be re-calculated for the new true proportion:

$\sigma_p=\sqrt{\dfrac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.52*0.48}{150}}\\\\\\ \sigma_p=\sqrt{0.001664}=0.041$

Then, we calculate the z-value for this proportion with the true proportion:

$z=\dfrac{p-\pi'}{\sigma_p}=\dfrac{0.51-0.52}{0.041}=\dfrac{-0.01}{0.041}=-0.244$

The probability of getting a sample of size n=150 with a proportion of 0.51 or lower is:

$P(p$

Then, the power of the test is β=0.404.

The only variable left to change in the test in order to increase the power of the test is the sample size, as the significance level can not be changed (it is related to the probability of a Type I error).

It the sample size is increased, the standard error of the proprotion decreases. As the standard error tends to zero, the critical proportion tend to 0.58, as we can see in its equation:

$\lim_{\sigma_p \to 0} p_c=\pi+ \lim_{\sigma_p \to 0}(z_c\cdot\sigma_p)=\pi=0.58$

Then, if the critical proportion increases, the z-score increases, and also the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis.
