Answer:

<em>55mph . None of the options are correct </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

If the speed varies inversely as the time it takes to drive, then v ∝ 1/t. where;

v is the speed

t is the time taken

Hence;

v = k/t with k being the constant of proportionality.

Since it takes Kris 5 hours when driving at 55 mph, we will substitute v = 55mph and t = 5 hours. into the equation above to get the value of k as shown:

55 = k/5

Cross multiply

k = 55*5

k = 275

Hence, to calculate the speed it will Martin to drive for 5 hours, we will substitute k = 275 and t = 5 into the original equation v = k/t as shownl

v = 275/5

v = 55 mph

<em>Hence, we can conclude that Martin will also need to drive at a speed of 55mph if he wants to take 5hours.</em>

fomenos

Answer:

The right answer is:

The poll provides strong evidence that more than 61% of Americans oppose the Tea Party movement this year. Why? The P-value (0.026) is less than the significance level of 5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

At a level of significance of 5%, a P-value of 0.026 (2.6%) means that the difference is significant and the null hypothesis is rejected.

The difference between the proportions is significant, what means that more than 61% of Americans oppose the Tea Party movement this year.

Note: The difference in the sample proportions (3%) is not enough to claim that the difference is significant.

The right answer is:

The poll provides strong evidence that more than 61% of Americans oppose the Tea Party movement this year. Why? The P-value (0.026) is less than the significance level of 5%.
