Let the speed of the current be x mi/hr
speed upstream=(12-x) mi/hr
speed downstream=(12+x) mi/hr
It takes 3 hours longer to travel upstream than downstream, thus
time taken upstream=68/(12-x)
time taken to travel downstream=68/(12+x)
the difference in time will be:
68/(12-x)-68/(12+x)=3
solving for x we get:
x=2.98 mi/hr

Thus the rate of current is 2.98 mi/hr

Using a 5% level of significance and a sample size of 25, what is the critical t value for a null hypothesis, H0: µ ≤ 100? Selec
nadezda [96]

Answer:

D. 2.064

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of sample (n) = 25, degree of freedom = n - 1 = 25 - 1 = 24, significance level = 0.05

The critical t value corresponding to 24 degrees of freedom and 0.05 significance level is 2.064

Answer:

9 comedy

12 horror

Step-by-step explanation:

First, there are 360 degrees in a circle.

Comedy = 90 degrees

Action and romance = 90 degrees combined

Horror = 120 degree

Science fiction = 60 degrees

To find sci fi : 90 +90 +120 = 300 - 360 = 60 degrees

36 students took the survey.

1/4 × 36 = 9

Horror is 120 degrees out of 360 degrees or 1/3 of the circle.

1/3 × 36 = 12

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

They added 8 to each side,     --8 is +8    so we need to subtract - from each side not add 8 to each side

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a slope and a point

We can use point slope form

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y--8 = -6(x-2)    

y+8 = -6(x-2)

Distribute the -6

y+8 = -6x+12

Subtract 8 from each side

      ERROR in the students work

They added 8 to each side,     --8 is +8    so we need to subtract - from each side not add 8 to each side

y+8-8 = -6x+12-8

y = -6x+4
