A ball is thrown into the air with an upward velocity of 20 feet per second. Its height, h, in feet after t seconds is given by

the function h of t equals negative 16t squared plus 20t plus 2 . How long does it take the ball to reach its maximum height? What is the ball’s maximum height? Round to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.

<span>height of the ball = h(t) = -16t2 + 20t + 2 The maximum value for h(t) will occur when t = -20/2(-16) = 5/8 It will take 5/8 of a second, or 0.625 seconds, for the ball to reach its maximum height. To find the ball's maximum height, plug in 5/8 for t . h( 5/8 ) = -16( 5/8 )2 + 20( 5/8 ) + 2 h( 5/8 ) = -16( 25/64 ) + 50/4 + 2 h( 5/8 ) = -25/4 + 50/4 + 8/4 h( 5/8 ) = 33/4 The maximum height is 33/4 feet, or 8.25 feet.</span>

From 19 measurements of a pressure controller, the mean operating pressure is 4.97 kPa with a standard deviation of 0.0461 kPa.
Semenov [28]

Answer:

4.97-2.10\frac{0.0461}{\sqrt{19}}=4.95    

4.97+2.10\frac{0.0461}{\sqrt{19}}=4.99    

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (4.95;4.99)  

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

\bar X =4.97 represent the sample mean

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

s=0.0461 represent the sample standard deviation

n=19 represent the sample size  

Confidence interval

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

In order to calculate the critical value t_{\alpha/2} we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

df=n-1=19-1=18

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of \alpha=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.025,18)".And we see that t_{\alpha/2}=2.10

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

4.97-2.10\frac{0.0461}{\sqrt{19}}=4.95    

4.97+2.10\frac{0.0461}{\sqrt{19}}=4.99    

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (4.95;4.99)

What is the area, in square centimeters, of the isosceles trapezoid below?
charle [14.2K]
Both triangles area:
4.2 x 8.2 = 34.44

you don’t need to divide by two cause there’s two triangles anyways.

also, you get 8.2 by subtracting the total length by the top length. (13.5-5.3)

rectangle:
4.2 x 5.3 = 22.26

the total area is 56.7cm squared

A cylindrical rain barrel has a radius of 2 feet and holds a total of 30 cubic feet of water. How tall is the rain barrel? Use 3
enot [183]

Answer:

2.39 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of a cylinder is equal to

V=\pi r^{2}h

where

r is the radius of the base of the cylinder

h is the height of the cylinder

we have

V=30\ ft^3

r=2\ ft

\pi =3.14

substitute

30=(3.14)(2^{2})h

Solve for h

30=(3.14)(4)h

h=30/12.56

h=2.39\ ft
