Brian "bicycle kicked" a soccer ball up from a height of 4ft off the ground with an initial upward velocity of 34 feet/sec. As t

he ball was coming down, Mike jumped up and at 8 ft off the ground, headed it into the goal and win the game. How long did it take for the ball to come down and reach Mike's head?

Answer:

1.95 seconds or 2.06 seconds

(Depending on your acceleration value)

Step-by-step explanation:

s = ut + 0.5at²

u = 34 ft/s

a = -10 m/s² = -32.8084 ft/s²

s = 8-4 = 4 ft

4 = 34t + ½(-32.8084)t²

4 = 34t - 16.4042t²

16.4042t² - 34t + 4 = 0

t = 1.946, 0.125

Mike catches the ball the second time it was at a height of 8ft.

Do t = 1.95 s

If you use a = 32.17405 ft/s²,

t = 2.05655765 (2.06 seconds in 3 sf)

Answer:

$\bar x = 260.1615$

$\sigma = 70.69$

The confidence interval of standard deviation is: $53.76$ to $103.25$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$n =20$

See attachment for the formatted data

Solving (a): The mean

This is calculated as:

$\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n}$

So, we have:

$\bar x = \frac{242.87 +212.00 +260.93 +284.08 +194.19 +139.16 +260.76 +436.72 +355.36 +.....+250.61}{20}$

$\bar x = \frac{5203.23}{20}$

$\bar x = 260.1615$

$\bar x = 260.16$

Solving (b): The standard deviation

This is calculated as:

$\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\sum(x - \bar x)^2}{n-1}}$

$\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{(242.87 - 260.1615)^2 +(212.00- 260.1615)^2+(260.93- 260.1615)^2+(284.08- 260.1615)^2+.....+(250.61- 260.1615)^2}{20 - 1}}$ $\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{94938.80}{19}}$

$\sigma = \sqrt{4996.78}$

$\sigma = 70.69$ --- approximated

Solving (c): 95% confidence interval of standard deviation

We have:

$c =0.95$

So:

$\alpha = 1 -c$

$\alpha = 1 -0.95$

$\alpha = 0.05$

Calculate the degree of freedom (df)

$df = n -1$

$df = 20 -1$

$df = 19$

Determine the critical value at row $df = 19$ and columns $\frac{\alpha}{2}$ and $1 -\frac{\alpha}{2}$

So, we have:

$X^2_{0.025} = 32.852$ ---- at $\frac{\alpha}{2}$

$X^2_{0.975} = 8.907$ --- at $1 -\frac{\alpha}{2}$

So, the confidence interval of the standard deviation is:

$\sigma * \sqrt{\frac{n - 1}{X^2_{\alpha/2} }$ to $\sigma * \sqrt{\frac{n - 1}{X^2_{1 -\alpha/2} }$

$70.69 * \sqrt{\frac{20 - 1}{32.852}$ to $70.69 * \sqrt{\frac{20 - 1}{8.907}$

$70.69 * \sqrt{\frac{19}{32.852}$ to $70.69 * \sqrt{\frac{19}{8.907}$

$53.76$ to $103.25$

Answer: One sample z test for means

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given, the sample size is large. It is greater than 30. Again, the population standard deviation is given. This means that the test statistic would be the z score which is determined by the formula

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = sample mean

µ = population mean

σ = population standard deviation

The probability value would be determined from the normal distribution table.

Therefore, the hypothesis test that should be used is

One sample z test for means
