A train averages a speed of 90 miles per hour across the plains and 37.5 miles per hour through the mountains. If a trip of 300

miles took 3 hour and 48 minutes, how many miles of it was through the mountains?

Let p and m represent the numbers of miles in the plains and mountains, respectively.
.. p + m = 300 . . . . . . . the whole trip was 300 miles

time = distance/speed, so the trip time can be written as
.. p/90 + m/37.5 = 3 48/60
.. 5p + 12m = 1710 . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 450 to put in standard form

You can solve these two equations by any of several means. The variable p can be eliminated by subtracting 5 times the first from the second.
.. (5p +12m) -5(p +m) = 1710 -5*300
.. 7m = 210
.. m = 30

30 miles of the trip was through the mountains.

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

The significance level is \alpha=0.01 and since we are conducting a right tailed test we need to find a critical value who accumulate 0.01 of the area in the right of the normal standard distribution and we got:

z_{\alpha/2}= 2.326

So we reject the null hypothesis is z>2.326

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we define the random variable X as the number of entry-level swimmers and we are interested about the true population mean for this variable . On specific we want to test this:

Null hypothesis: \mu \leq 15

Alternative hypothesis: \mu > 15

And the statistic is given by:

z =\frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

The significance level is \alpha=0.01 and since we are conducting a right tailed test we need to find a critical value who accumulate 0.01 of the area in the right of the normal standard distribution and we got:

z_{\alpha/2}= 2.326

So we reject the null hypothesis is z>2.326
