From the two statements we can say:

260=(215+w)t

t=260/(215+w)

Now from the second statement:

170=(215-w)t

t=170/(215-w)

We are told that t=t, for the downwind and upwind equations so:

260/(215+w)=170/(215-w)  

260(215-w)=170(215+w)

55900-260w=36550+170w

-430w=-19350

w=45

So the wind speed is 45mph.

11. At Price Chopper you are purchasing groceries and the bill comes out to be
Vinil7 [7]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  $181.19

Step-by-step explanation:

The coupon means you will pay 70% of the bill. The tax means you will pay 105.65% of the amount after the coupon is applied. Your final bill is ...

  $245 × 0.70 × 1.0565 ≈ $181.19

_____

Your bill after the coupon is applied will be ...

  bill - 0.30×bill = bill(1 - 0.30) = bill×0.70

The amount after tax is added is ...

  charge + 0.0565×charge = charge(1 +0.0565) = charge×1.0565

Since the final bill is the product of these factors, the order of application does not matter. Conventionally, tax is applied last, so that accounting with the tax collection authority is properly maintained.

A country is considering raising the speed limit on a road because they claim that the mean speed of vehicles is greater than 30
kondaur [170]

Answer:

We conclude that speed is greater than 30 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:  

Population mean, μ =  30 miles per hour

Sample mean, \bar{x} = 35 miles per hour

Sample size, n = 15

Alpha, α = 0.01

Sample standard deviation, s = 4.7 miles per hour

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

H_{0}: \mu = 30\text{ miles per hour}\\H_A: \mu > 30\text{ miles per hour}

We use one-tailed(right) t test to perform this hypothesis.

Formula:

t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} }

Putting all the values, we have

t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{35 - 30}{\frac{4.7}{\sqrt{15}} } = 4.120

Now, t_{critical} \text{ at 0.01 level of significance, 14 degree of freedom } = 2.624

Since,                  

t_{stat} > t_{critical}

We fail to accept the null hypothesis and reject it. We accept the alternate hypothesis and conclude that speed is greater than 30 miles per hour.

We calculate the p-value.

P-value = 0.00052

Since p value is lower than the significance level, we reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternate hypothesis. We conclude that speed is greater than 30 miles per hour.
