Answer:

1) No

2) Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : If it took Carlos 30 minutes to cycle from his house to the library yesterday.

To find : Was the distance that he cycled greater than 6 miles?

Solution :

The relation between speed , distance and time is

\text{Distance}=\text{Speed}\times \text{Time}

1) The average speed at which Carlos cycled from his house to the library yesterday was greater than 16 feet per second.

Speed = 16 feet per second

Converting into miles, s=\frac{16}{5280}

Time = 30 minute

Converting into seconds, t=30\times 60

The distance he covered is

\text{Distance}=\frac{16}{5280}\times30\times 60

\text{Distance}=5.45\text{ miles}

No, the distance that he cycled is not greater than 6 miles.

2) The average speed at which Carlos cycled from his house to the library yesterday was less than 18 feet per second.

Speed = 18 feet per second

Converting into miles, s=\frac{18}{5280}

Time = 30 minute

Converting into seconds, t=30\times 60

The distance he covered is

\text{Distance}=\frac{18}{5280}\times30\times 60

\text{Distance}=6.13\text{ miles}

Yes, the distance that he cycled is greater than 6 miles.

To help consumers assess the risks they are taking, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) publishes the amount of nicotine foun
QveST [7]

Answer:

We conclude that  the mean nicotine content is less than 31.7 milligrams for this brand of cigarette.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:  

Population mean, μ = 31.7 milligrams

Sample mean, \bar{x} = 28.5 milligrams

Sample size, n = 9

Alpha, α = 0.05

Sample standard deviation, s =  2.8 milligrams

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

H_{0}: \mu = 31.7\text{ milligrams}\\H_A: \mu < 31.7\text{ milligrams}

We use One-tailed t test to perform this hypothesis.

Formula:

t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} }

Putting all the values, we have

t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{28.5 - 31.7}{\frac{2.8}{\sqrt{9}} } = -3.429

Now, t_{critical} \text{ at 0.05 level of significance, 8 degree of freedom } = -1.860

Since,                  

t_{stat} < t_{critical}

We fail to accept the null hypothesis and accept the alternate hypothesis. We conclude that  the mean nicotine content is less than 31.7 milligrams for this brand of cigarette.

Theorems are understood as true and do not need to be proved.<br><br> True<br><br> False
patriot [66]

The answer is FALSE. Theorem, as applied in mathematics, is a statement that has been proved having a basis of laborious mathematical reasoning. The statement that is assumed to be true without proof is called axiom or postulate. Theorems are proved using axioms.
