Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time

the rate going south is 13, the rate going east is 10

it took a total amount of 6hours and 72miles for the whole travel

so.. if going say hmmm South, it covered a distance of "d", then going East it covered a distance of the slack from 72 and "d", it covered "72 - d" miles

so, if going South it took "t" hours, then going East it took the slack from 6 and "t", or "6 - t" hours

thus      \bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&distance&rate&time\\
&-----&-----&-----\\
South&d&13&t\\
East&72-d&10&6-t
\end{array}
\\\\\\
\begin{cases}
\boxed{d}=13t\\
72-d=10(6-t)\\
----------\\
72-\boxed{13t}=10(6-t)
\end{cases}

solve for "t"

so, it travelled East for 6-t hours

AT&amp;T would like to test the hypothesis that the proportion of 18- to 34-year-old Americans that own a cell phone is less tha
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

The null and alternative hypothesis can be written as:

H_0: \pi_1-\pi_2=0\\\\H_a:\pi_1-\pi_2< 0

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a hypothesis test for the difference between proportions.

The claim is that the proportion of 18- to 34-year-old Americans that own a cell phone is less than the proportion of 35- to 49-year-old Americans.

This claim will be reflected in the alternnative hypothesis, that will state that the population proportion 1 (18 to 34) is significantly smaller than the population proportion 2 (35 to 49).

On the contrary, the null hypothesis will state that the population proportion 1 is ot significantly smaller than the population proportion 2.

Then, the null and alternative hypothesis can be written as:

H_0: \pi_1-\pi_2=0\\\\H_a:\pi_1-\pi_2< 0

The significance level is assumed to be 0.05.

The sample 1, of size n1=200 has a proportion of p1=0.63.

p_1=X_1/n_1=126/200=0.63

The sample 2, of size n2=175 has a proportion of p2=0.68.

p_2=X_2/n_2=119/175=0.68

The difference between proportions is (p1-p2)=-0.05.

p_d=p_1-p_2=0.63-0.68=-0.05

The pooled proportion, needed to calculate the standard error, is:

p=\dfrac{X_1+X_2}{n_1+n_2}=\dfrac{126+119}{200+175}=\dfrac{245}{375}=0.653

The estimated standard error of the difference between means is computed using the formula:

s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_1}+\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n_2}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{0.653*0.347}{200}+\dfrac{0.653*0.347}{175}}\\\\\\s_{p1-p2}=\sqrt{0.001132+0.001294}=\sqrt{0.002427}=0.049

Then, we can calculate the z-statistic as:

z=\dfrac{p_d-(\pi_1-\pi_2)}{s_{p1-p2}}=\dfrac{-0.05-0}{0.049}=\dfrac{-0.05}{0.049}=-1.01

This test is a left-tailed test, so the P-value for this test is calculated as (using a z-table):

\text{P-value}=P(z

As the P-value (0.1554) is bigger than the significance level (0.05), the effect is not significant.

The null hypothesis failed to be rejected.

There is not enough evidence to support the claim that the proportion of 18- to 34-year-old Americans that own a cell phone is less than the proportion of 35- to 49-year-old Americans.

(1 point) An innovative rural public health program is reducing infant mortality in a certain West African country. Pretend the
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Infant mortality will reduce to 33% in 1.63 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the population be X

Population after 1 year

X - 7.3 % of X

X -0.073 X\\0.927X

As we know

P = P_0 * e^{rt}

Substituting the given values we get -

\frac{P_0 - 0.33P_0}{P_0} = e^{-0.33 * t}\\0.67 = e^{-0.33 * t}\\

Taking log on both sides we get -

-0.20273 = -0.33 * t\\t = 1.627
