Minus 2 degrees every hour
there are 4 hours
d=degrees dropped
- 2 x 4 = d
Answer:
53.33 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Speed is the rate of change of distance with time. Mathematically,
speed = distance/time
and is measured in miles per hour or meter per second.
To get the average speed over the entire trip, we must get the total time spent on trip and the total distance, then apply the speed formula
Time for the first 300 miles
= 300/60
= 5 hours
Time spent on the last 100
= 100/40
= 2.5 hours
Total time of the trip = 5 + 2.5
= 7.5 hours
Total distance covered
= 300 miles + 100 miles
= 400 miles
Average speed on the trip
= 400/7.5
= 53.33 miles per hour
The answer is 7 because 2 to 5 is 3 and -2 to 5 I 7

Step-by-step explanation:
We assume the lunch prices we observe are drawn from a normal distribution with true mean
and standard deviation 0.68 in dollars.
We average
samples to get
.
The standard deviation of the average (an experiment where we collect 45 samples and average them) is the square root of n times smaller than than the standard deviation of the individual samples. We'll write

Our goal is to come up with a confidence interval (a,b) that we can be 90% sure contains
.
Our interval takes the form of
as
is our best guess at the middle of the interval. We have to find the z that gives us 90% of the area of the bell in the "middle".
Since we're given the standard deviation of the true distribution we don't need a t distribution or anything like that. n=45 is big enough (more than 30 or so) that we can substitute the normal distribution for the t distribution anyway.
Usually the questioner is nice enough to ask for a 95% confidence interval, which by the 68-95-99.7 rule is plus or minus two sigma. Here it's a bit less; we have to look it up.
With the right table or computer we find z that corresponds to a probability p=.90 the integral of the unit normal from -z to z. Unfortunately these tables come in various flavors and we have to convert the probability to suit. Sometimes that's a one sided probability from zero to z. That would be an area aka probability of 0.45 from 0 to z (the "body") or a probability of 0.05 from z to infinity (the "tail"). Often the table is the integral of the bell from -infinity to positive z, so we'd have to find p=0.95 in that table. We know that the answer would be z=2 if our original p had been 95% so we expect a number a bit less than 2, a smaller number of standard deviations to include a bit less of the probability.
We find z=1.65 in the typical table has p=.95 from -infinity to z. So our 90% confidence interval is

in other words a margin of error of
dollars
That's around plus or minus 17 cents.
