Answer: the speed of the submarine is 5miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The submarine left Hawaii two hours before the aircraft carrier.

Let x = the speed of the submarine

The aircraft carrier traveled at 25 mph for nine hours.

After this time the vessels were 280 miles apart. This means that when they became 280 miles apart, the aircraft carrier has travelled for 9 hours. If the submarine was ahead of the aircraft carrier with 2 hours, that means that the submarine travelled 9 + 2 = 11 hours

Distance travelled = speed × time

Distance travelled by submarine will be 11 × x = 11x miles per hour

Distance travelled by aircraft carrier will be 25 × 9 = 225 miles per hour

If they are 280 miles apart, this would be their total distance. Therefore,

225 + 11x = 280

11x = 280 - 225 = 55

x = 55/11 = 5miles per hour

{a}^{m}  \div  {a}^{n}  =  {a}^{m - n}

<h3>Explanation :</h3>

{a}^{m}  \div  {a}^{n}  =  {a}^{m - n}

{a}^{m}  \times  {a}^{n}  =  {a}^{m + n}

( {a}^{m}){}^{n}  =  {a}^{m  \times n}

Alla [95]

Answer:

b. There is sufficient evidence to indicate that exactly 65% of all e-commerce shoppers fail in their attempts to purchase merchandise on-line because Web sites are too complex.

Step-by-step explanation:

Not significant,accept null hypothesis that population proportion = 0.65

When we accept the null hypothesis that P= 0.65

Then only option b is correct which states that  there is sufficient evidence to support that population proportion is exactly 0.65 .

1) We obtain a P - value of 0.0522 which is greater than 0.5 indicating that the null hypothesis is not rejected.

The rejection region for this right-tailed test is z > 1.64

2) Test Statistics

z= p`-p0/ sqrt(p0(1-p0)/n)

The z-statistic is computed as follows:

z= 0.75-0.65/ √(0.65*0.35)60

z= 1.624

3) Decision about the null hypothesis

Since it is observed that z = 1.624 is less than z ∝=1.64, it is then the null hypothesis is not rejected.
