20 minutes( 0.3333 hours) after they leave the station will they be 50 km apart, if the Two trains on opposite tracks leave the same station at the same time. One train travels at an average speed of 80 km/hr and the other travels at an average speed of 70 km/hr.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is,

                   One train travels at an average speed of 80 km/hr

                   The other travels at an average speed of 70 km/hr

Step:1

      Formula to calculate the distance traveled by two trains,

      Distance traveled by two trains = (Rate of speed of train one +

                                                           Rate of speed of other train) × Time

         From the given the above equation becomes,

         Let, h = Time taken to each the distance

                                          50 = ( 80 + 70 ) h

                                            50 = (150) h

                                               h = \frac{50}{150}

                                                  = 0.3333 hours

                                                  = ( 0.333 × 60 )          ( ∵ 1 hr = 60 minutes )

                                                h = 20 minutes

Step:2

            Check for solution,

            From equation (1),

                           50 = ( 80+70 ) (0.3333)

                           50 = (150)(0.3333)

                           50 = 50

Result:

          20 minutes( 0.3333 hours) after they leave the station will they be 50 km apart.

Identify an equation in slope-intercept form for the line parallel to y=5x+2 that passes through (-6,-1).
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

gradient for the line y=5x+2 = 5  from y=mx+c where m =gradient

parallel lines have equal gradients thus M2=5

equation for line passing through point (-6,-1) and gradient , m=5 will be

(change in y/change in x)=M2

(y--1/x--6)=5

y+1/x+6 =5

y+1=5(x+6)

y+1=5x+30

y=5x+29

The temperature at noon on a winter day was 8°C. At midnight, the temperature had dropped 15°C. What was the temperature at midn
klio [65]
All you have to look at is the word "dropped" and you know it's a subtraction problem. In this case, it would be 8 - 15.

8 - 15 = -7

It would be -7<span>°C at midnight. I hoped this helped! :)</span>

In a study of 420,095 Danish cell phone users, 135 subjects developed cancer of the brain or nervous system (based on data from
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

z=\frac{0.0003214 -0.00034}{\sqrt{\frac{0.00034(1-0.00034)}{420095}}}=-0.654  

p_v =2*P(Z  

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.005 we have p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say that the true proportion not differs significantly from the specified value of 0.00034 or 0.034%.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation  

n=420095 represent the random sample taken

X=135 represent the subjects developed cancer of the brain or nervous system (based on data from the Journal of the National Cancer Institute as reported in USA Today)

\hat p=\frac{135}{420095}=0.0003214 estimated proportion of subjects developed cancer of the brain or nervous system (based on data from the Journal of the National Cancer Institute as reported in USA Today)

p_o=0.00034 is the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.005 represent the significance level

Confidence=99.5% or 0.995

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 brain or nervous system at a rate that is different from the rate of 0.0340% :  

Null hypothesis:p=0.00034  

Alternative hypothesis:p \neq 0.00034  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statistic, 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{0.0003214 -0.00034}{\sqrt{\frac{0.00034(1-0.00034)}{420095}}}=-0.654  

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=0.005. The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a bilateral test the p value would be:  

p_v =2*P(Z  

So the p value obtained was a very high value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.005 we have p_v>\alpha so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis, and we can say that the true proportion not differs significantly from the specified value of 0.00034 or 0.034%.
