Two cars, a Porsche Boxster and a Toyota Scion XB, are traveling in the same direction, although the Boxster is 125.0 m behind t

he Scion. The speed of the Boxster is 26.4 m/s and the speed of the Scion is 15.6 m/s. How much time does it take for the Boxster to catch the Scion?

Answer: t = 11.57s

The time taken for the Boxster to catch the Scion is 11.57s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Speed of the boxster = 26.4m/s

Speed of the Scion = 15.6m/s

Assuming the starting point of 0 for the boxter, the starting point of the Scion would be 125.0m.

Given that;

Distance = speed × time

For the Boxster the distance travelled is;

d = 0 + 26.4t

For the scion the distance travelled is ;

d = 125 + 15.6t

Where t is the time.

Equating the two distance;

26.4t = 125 + 15.6t

26.4t - 15.6t = 125

t = 125/(26.4-15.6)

t = 11.57s

As scientists conduct their research, they make observations and collect data. The observations and data often lead them to ask why something is the way it is. Scientists pursue answers to these questions in order to continue with their research.

Let x be the ages of students in a class. Given the frequency distribution f(x) above, determine the following probabilities:.
lora16 [44]

Probabilities are used to determine the chances of events

The value of the probability P(x < 24) is 0.7895

<h3>How to calculate the probability P(x < 24)?</h3>

This is calculated as:

P(x < 24) = \frac{n(x < 24)}{Total}

So, we have:

P(x < 24) = \frac{22 + 3 + 5}{22 + 3 + 5 + 4 + 4}

Evaluate the sums

P(x < 24) = \frac{30}{38}

Evaluate the quotient

P(x < 24) = 0.7895

Hence, the value of the probability P(x < 24) is 0.7895

A TV station claims that 38% of the 6:00 - 7:00 pm viewing audience watches its evening news program. A consumer group believes
Elena L [17]

Answer:

z=\frac{0.340 -0.38}{\sqrt{\frac{0.38(1-0.38)}{830}}}=-2.374  

p_v =P(Z  

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of people that regularly watch the TV station’s news program is significantly less than 0.38 .  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

n=830 represent the random sample taken

X=282 represent the people that regularly watch the TV station’s news program

\hat p=\frac{282}{830}=0.340 estimated proportion of people that regularly watch the TV station’s news program

p_o=0.38 is the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)  

2) Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the proportion is less than 0.38:  

Null hypothesis:p\geq 0.38  

Alternative hypothesis:p < 0.38  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statisitc, and the is given by:  

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion \hat p is significantly different from a hypothesized value p_o.

3) Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

z=\frac{0.340 -0.38}{\sqrt{\frac{0.38(1-0.38)}{830}}}=-2.374  

4) Statistical decision  

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.  

The significance level provided \alpha=0.05. The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a left tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(Z  

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the proportion of people that regularly watch the TV station’s news program is significantly less than 0.38 .
