Measuring the speed of sound in the ocean is an important part of marine research. One application is the study of climate chang

e. The speed of sound depends on the temperature, salinity, and depth below the surface. For a fixed temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and salinity of 35 parts per thousand, the speed of sound is a function of the depth. At the surface, the speed of sound is 1534 meters per second. For each increase in depth by 1 kilometer, the speed of sound increases by 17 meters per second. Use D for depth (in kilometers) and S for the speed of sound (in meters per second), and find a linear formula for S as a function of D.

Answer:

A linear formula for S as a function of D is S=17D+1534

Step-by-step explanation:

We are supposed to find a linear formula for S as a function of D.

Equation of line : y = mx+c

We are given that At the surface, the speed of sound is 1534 meters per second.

c = 1534

We are given that for each increase in depth by 1 km, the speed increases by 17 m/s

So, Slope = m = 17

Substitute the values in equation

y=17x+1534

x denotes depth

y denotes speed

We are given that Use D for depth and S for the speed of sound

So, S=17D+1534

Hence a linear formula for S as a function of D is S=17D+1534

A triangular bandana has an area of 46 square inches. The height of the triangle is 5 3 4 inches. Enter and solve an equation to
shutvik [7]

Answer: 16 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle = bh/2

where b = base = unknown

h = height = 5 3/4 inches

Area = 46 inches²

Therefore, 46 = base × 5 3/4 / 2

Cross multiply

46 × 2 = base × 5 3/4

92 = base × 5 3/4

Base = 92 ÷ 5 3/4

Base = 92 ÷ 23/4

Base = 92 × 4/23

Base = 4 × 4

Base = 16 inches

Suppose 241 subjects are treated with a drug that is used to treat pain and 54 of them developed nausea. Use a 0.05 significance
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Null Hypothesis, H_0 : p = 0.20  

Alternate Hypothesis, H_a : p > 0.20  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that 241 subjects are treated with a drug that is used to treat pain and 54 of them developed nausea.

We have to use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that more than 20​% of users develop nausea.

<em>Let p = population proportion of users who develop nausea</em>

So, <u>Null Hypothesis,</u> H_0 : p = 0.20  

<u>Alternate Hypothesis</u>, H_a : p > 0.20  

Here, <u><em>null hypothesis</em></u> states that 20​% of users develop nausea.

And <u><em>alternate hypothesis</em></u> states that more than 20​% of users develop nausea.

The test statistics that would be used here is <u>One-sample z proportion</u> test statistics.

                     T.S. =  \frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }   ~ N(0,1)

where,  \hat p = proportion of users who develop nausea in a sample of 241 subjects =  \frac{54}{241}  

             n = sample of subjects = 241

So, the above hypothesis would be appropriate to conduct the test.
