Solution: We are given the population mean
Now, in order to find which shift's mean is closest to population mean, we will find the mean of each shift.
The mean of shift 1 is:
The mean of shift 2 is:
The mean of shift 3 is:
The mean of shift 4 is:
We clearly see the mean of shift 2 is close to the population mean. Hence the option B) Shift 2 is correct.
Answer: 20 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, since the situation forms a right triangle (see attachment) we have to apply the Pythagorean Theorem:
x^2 = a^2 + b^2
Where x is the hypotenuse of the triangle (in this case the distance between Dayton and Belleville) and a and b are the other sides.
Replacing with the values given:
x^2 = 16^2 + 12^2
x^2 = 256+144
x^2 = 400
x = √400
x = 20 miles
