Let
F1------------------------- > airplane speed <span>150 mi / h East
F2-------------------------- > </span>wind  speed <span>30 mi / h North

calculate the resultant force R
F1x=150    F1y=0      F2x= 0  F2y=30
Rx=F1x+F2x------------- >150+0 ---------------- >Rx=150
</span>Ry=F1y+F2y------------- >0+30 ---------------- >Rx=30
║R║=√150² 30²=√23400=152.97----- >153 mi/h
tan(theta)=Ry/Rx=30/150=0.20
arctan (0.20)=11.31 degrees-----------11.3 degrees

 the answer is
actual speed 153 mi/h and direction 11.3 degrees North-East  (I Quadrant)

Greg is in a car at the top of a roller-coaster ride. The distance, d, of the car from the ground as the car descends is determi
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

It takes 3 seconds over the interval [0,3]

Step-by-step explanation:

To find when the roller coaster reaches the ground, find when d=0.

0=144-16t^2

To solve divide each term by 16 and factor:

\frac{0}{16}=\frac{144}{16} -\frac{-16t^2}{16}  \\0= 9 - t^2\\0=(3-t)(3+t)

Solve for t by setting each factor to 0.

t-3=0 so t=3

t+3=0 so t=-3

This means the car is in the air from 0 to 3 second.

A sample survey is designed to estimate the proportion of sports utility vehicles being driven in the state of California. A ran
mart [117]

Answer:

a) The 95% confidence interval would be given (0.070;0.121).

b) "increase the sample size n"

"decrease za/2 by decreasing the confidence"

Step-by-step explanation:

Notation and definitions

X=48 number of vehicles classified as sports utility.

n=500 random sample taken

\hat p=\frac{48}{500}=0.096 estimated proportion of vehicles classified as sports utility vehicles.

p true population proportion of vehicles classified as sports utility vehicles.

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

The population proportion have the following distribution

p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}})

(a) Use a 95% confidence interval to estimate the proportion of sports utility vehicles in California. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

The confidence interval would be given by this formula :

\hat p \pm z_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}

For the 95% confidence interval the value of \alpha=1-0.5=0.05 and \alpha/2=0.025, with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

z_{\alpha/2}=1.96

And replacing into the confidence interval formula we got:

0.096 - 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.096(1-0.096)}{500}}=0.070

0.096 + 1.96 \sqrt{\frac{0.096(1-0.096)}{500}}=0.121

And the 95% confidence interval would be given (0.070;0.121).

We are confident (95%) that about 7.0% to 12.1% of vehicles in California are classified as sports utility .  

(b) How can you estimate the proportion of sports utility vehicles in California with a higher degree of accuracy? (HINT: There are two answers. Select all that apply.)

For this case we just have two ways to increase the accuracy one is "increase the sample size n" since if we have a larger sample size the estimation would be more accurate. And the other possibility is "decrease za/2 by decreasing the confidence" because if we decrease the confidence level the interval would be narrower and accurate

One hen lays 7 eggs in three days.<br>How many eggs do three hens lay in nine days?​
kramer

Answer:

63 eggs.

Step-by-step explanation:

7 times 3 equals 21, which is the amount of eggs one chicken lays in 9 days. Multiply that by 3, you get 63.
