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

Please help I can’t figure it out

Answer: -4

Step-by-step explanation: Notice that the increments in the graph do not go in 1's, but in 2's. Meaning the first line is 2, and second line is 4, and in the middle is 3. Be careful.

The range is where the line on the graph hits the y-axis (horizontal line, or line going up). The only possible place the line hits the y-axis is at -4. No other y-value. Thus, the range of the function is -4.

A marketing consultant was in the process of studying the perceptions of married couples concerning their weekly food expenditur
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

We have sufficient evidence to conclude at α = .05 that the husband’s perception would be higher than the wife’s.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotheses testing procedure in the given scenario is

H0: Husband’s perception would be similar to the wife’s i.e. μh=μw

Ha: Husband’s perception would be higher than the wife’s i.e. μh>μw

Level of significance: α=0.05

Test statistic: t=2.776

Critical region: t>t(0.05,9)=1.833

Conclusion: As the calculated value of t lies in critical region, so we reject our null hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. Thus, we have sufficient evidence to conclude at α = .05 that the husband’s perception would be higher than the wife’s.
