Answer:
p = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
We have that:

So

10/2 = 5
Then

Finding p:



Subtract them left to right
For question number 1:The plot H = H(t) is the parabola and it reaches its maximum in the moment when exactly at midpoint between the roots t = 0 and t = 23. At that moment t = 23/2 or 11.5 seconds.
For question number 2:To find the maximal height, just simply substitute t = 11.5 into the quadratic equation. The answer would be 22.9.
For question number 3:H(t) = 0, or, which is the same as -16t^2 + 368t = 0.Factor the left side to get -16*t*(t - 23) = 0.t = 0, relates to the very start of the process, when the ash started its way up.The other root is t = 23 seconds, and it is precisely the time moment when the bit of ash will go back to the ground.
1-2. The best estimate for the population mean would be sample mean of 60 gallons. Since we know that the sample mean is the best point of estimate. Since sample size n=16 is less than 25, we use the t distribution. Assume population from normal distribution.
3. Given a=0.1, the t (0.05, df = n – 1 = 15)=1.75
4. xbar ± t*s/vn = 60 ± 1.75*20/4 = ( 51.25, 68.75)
5. Since the interval include 63, it is reasonable.
