PLEASE HELP!
1 answer:
Answer: it turned 115.8°
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangle formed is shown in the attached photo. The angle turned by the ship in the north west direction is ange A. To determine angle A, we would apply the law of Cosines which is expressed as
a² = b² + c² - 2abCosA
Where a,b and c are the length of each side of the triangle and A is the angle corresponding to a. Likening the expression to the given triangle, it becomes
165² = 111² + 83² - 2(111 × 83)CosA
27225 = 12321 + 6889 - 2(9213)CosA
27225 = 19210 - 18426CosA
18426CosA = 19210 - 27225
18426CosA = - 8015
CosA = - 8015/18426
CosA = - 0.435
A = Cos^- 1(- 0.435)
A = 115.8° to the nearest tenth

You did not attach the data, therefore I can give you the general explanation on how to find the values required and an example of a random paired data.
For the example, please refer to the attached picture.
A) Find </span><span>
You are asked to find the mean difference between the two variables, which is given by the formula:
These are the steps to follow:
1) compute for each pair the difference d = (x - y)
2) sum all the differences
3) divide the sum by the number of pairs (n)
In our example:
</span><span>
</span>
B) Find <span>
</span><span>You are asked to find the standard deviation, which is given by the formula:
</span>
These are the steps to follow:
1) Subtract the mean difference from each pair's difference
2) square the differences found
3) sum the squares
4) divide by the degree of freedom DF = n - 1
In our example:
= √14.5
= 3.81
C) Find the t-test statistic.
You are asked to calculate the t-value for your statistics, which is given by the formula:
where SE = standard error is given by the formula:
These are the steps to follow:
1) calculate the standard error (divide the standard deviation by the number of pairs)
2) calculate the mean value of x (sum all the values of x and then divide by the number of pairs)
3) calculate the mean value of y (sum all the values of y and then divide by the number of pairs)
4) subtract the mean y value from the mean x value
5) from this difference, subtract
6) divide by the standard error
In our example:
SE = 3.81 / √8
= 1.346
The problem gives us <span>, therefore:
t = [(9.75 - 9) - 0] / 1.346</span>
= 0.56
D) Find
You are asked to find what is the t-value for a 0.05 significance level.
In order to do so, you need to look at a t-table distribution for DF = 7 and A = 0.05 (see second picture attached).
We find <span>
</span>
Since our t-value is less than <span>
</span> we can reject our null hypothesis!!
