A ship leaves port at 1:00 P.M. and travels S35°E at the rate of 27 mi/hr. Another ship leaves the same port at 1:30 P.M. and tr

avels S20°W at 18 mi/hr. Approximately how far apart are the ships at 3:00 P.M.? (Round your answer to the nearest mile.)

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You must apply the Law of Cosines, as you can see in the figure attached. Then:

- The first ship travels at 27 mi/hr in for two hours. Therefore, the side a is:

a=(27 mi/hr)(2 hr)=54mi

- The second ship travels at 18 mi/hr for 1.5 hours. Therefore, the side b is:

b=(18mi/hr)(1.5hr)=27mi

- Now, you can calculate c:

c=\sqrt{54^{2}+27^{2}-2(54)(27)Cos(55)}=44 mi

The answer is: 44 miles

What is the solution to the system of equations?
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

x=-4 y=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your system by substitution.

−3x−8y=20;y=5x+19

Rewrite equations:

y=5x+19;−3x−8y=20

Step: Solve y=5x+19for y:

y=5x+19

Step: Substitute5x+19foryin−3x−8y=20:

−3x−8y=20

−3x−8(5x+19)=20

−43x−152=20(Simplify both sides of the equation)

−43x−152+152=20+152(Add 152 to both sides)

−43x=172

−43x

−43

=

172

−43

(Divide both sides by -43)

x=−4

Step: Substitute−4forxiny=5x+19:

y=5x+19

y=(5)(−4)+19

y=−1(Simplify both sides of the equation)

Answer:

x=−4 and y=−1

You measure 22 textbooks' weights, and find they have a mean weight of 64 ounces. Assume the population standard deviation is 5.
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to determine a 90% confidence interval for the true population mean textbook weight.

Number of sample, n = 22

Mean, u = 64 ounces

Standard deviation, s = 5.1 ounces

For a confidence level of 90%, the corresponding z value is 1.645. This is determined from the normal distribution table.

We will apply the formula

Confidence interval

= mean ± z ×standard deviation/√n

It becomes

64 ± 1.645 × 5.1/√22

= 64 ± 1.645 × 1.087

= 64 ± 1.788

The lower end of the confidence interval is 64 - 1.788 = 62.21 ounces

The upper end of the confidence interval is 64 + 1.788 = 65.79 ounces

Therefore, with 90% confidence interval, the true population mean textbook weight is between 62.21 ounces and 65.79 ounces
