A plane flying horizontally at an altitude of 3 mi and a speed of 440 mi/h passes directly over a radar station. find the rate a

t which the distance from the plane to the station is increasing when it is 4 mi away from the station. (round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

Let α represent the acute angle between the horizontal and the straight line from the plane to the station. If the 4-mile measure is the straight-line distance from the plane to the station, then
  sin(α) = 3/4
and
  cos(α) = √(1 - (3/4)²) = (√7)/4

The distance from the station to the plane is increasing at a rate that is the plane's speed multiplied by the cosine of the angle α. Hence the plane–station distance is increasing at the rate of
  (440 mph)×(√7)/4 ≈ 291 mph

Using the z-distribution, it is found that the 95% confidence interval for the difference is (-1.3, -0.7).

<h3>What are the mean and the standard error for each sample?</h3>

Considering the data given:

\mu_S = 3.8, n = 175, s_S = \frac{1.7}{\sqrt{175}} = 0.1285

\mu_N = 4.8, n = 152, s_N = \frac{1.2}{\sqrt{152}} = 0.0973

<h3>What is the mean and the standard error for the distribution of differences?</h3>

The mean is the subtraction of the means, hence:

\overline{x} = \mu_S - \mu_N = 3.8 - 4.8 = -1

The standard error is the square root of the sum of the variances of each sample, hence:

s = \sqrt{s_S^2 + s_N^2} = \sqrt{0.1285^2 + 0.0973^2} = 0.1612

<h3>What is the confidence interval?</h3>

It is given by:

\overline{x} \pm zs

We have a 95% confidence interval, hence the critical value is of z = 1.96.

Then, the bounds of the interval are given as follows:

  • \overline{x} - zs = -1 - 1.96(0.1612) = -1.3
  • \overline{x} + zs = -1 + 1.96(0.1612) = -0.7
