Average speed = total miles driven / total driving time
average speed = (150 + 100) / (3 + 1 1/2) =
                             250 / (4 1/2) =
                             250 / (9/2) =
                             250 * 2/9 =
                             500 / 9 = 55.55 mph

The height of the tunnel at the center is 35ft, and the vertical clearance must be 21 ft at a point of 8ft from the center. Find
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

y=-0.215x^2+35

Step by Step:

Let, h=0,  k=35, x=8, y=21

We know that, the general equation of the parabola.

   y-k = a(x-h)^2

\Rightarrow y=a(x-h)^2+k  .........(i)

Substitute the  value of h, k, x, y in equation (i) and find the value of a.

  21=a(8-0)^2+35

\Rightarrow 21=a\times 8^2+35

\Rightarrow 21=64a+35

\Rightarrow 64a=21-35

\Rightarrow 64a=-14

\Rightarrow a=\frac{-14}{65}

\Rightarrow a=-0.215

Hence, the equation of the parabola is:

y=-0.215x^2+35

At Western University the historical mean of scholarship examination scores for freshman applications is 900. A historical popul
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

a) Null Hypothesis: \mu =900

Alternative hypothesis: \mu \neq 900

b) The 95% confidence interval would be given by (910.05;959.95)    

c) Since we confidence interval not ocntains the value of 900 we fail to reject the null hypothesis that the true mean is 900.

d) z=\frac{935 -900}{\frac{180}{\sqrt{200}}}=2.750

Since is a bilateral test the p value is given by:

p_v =2*P(Z>2.750)=0.0059

Step-by-step explanation:

a. State the hypotheses.

On this case we want to check the following system of hypothesis:

Null Hypothesis: \mu =900

Alternative hypothesis: \mu \neq 900

b. What is the 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean examination  score if a sample of 200 applications provided a sample mean x¯¯¯= 935?

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

\bar X=935 represent the sample mean for the sample  

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

\sigma=180 represent the population standard deviation

n=200 represent the sample size  

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

In order to calculate the mean and the sample deviation we can use the following formulas:  

\bar X= \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{x_i}{n} (2)  

s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i-\bar X)}{n-1}} (3)  

The mean calculated for this case is \bar X=3278.222

The sample deviation calculated s=97.054

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of \alpha=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.025,0,1)".And we see that z_{\alpha/2}=1.96

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

935-1.96\frac{180}{\sqrt{200}}=910.05    

935+1.96\frac{180}{\sqrt{200}}=959.95    

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (910.05;959.95)    

c. Use the confidence interval to conduct a hypothesis test. Using α= .05, what is your  conclusion?

Since we confidence interval not ocntains the value of 900 we fail to reject the null hypothesis that the true mean is 900.

d. What is the p-value?

The statistic is given by:

z=\frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

If we replace we got:

z=\frac{935 -900}{\frac{180}{\sqrt{200}}}=2.750

Since is a bilateral test the p value is given by:

p_v =2*P(Z>2.750)=0.0059

So then since the p value is less than the significance we can reject the null hypothesis at 5% of significance.

One of the vertices of an equilateral triangle is on the vertex of a square and two other vertices are on the not adjacent sides
Elina [12.6K]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<em> The side of the triangle is either 38.63ft or 10.35ft</em>

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

This problem can be translated as an image as shown in the Figure below. We know that:

  • The side of the square is 10 ft.
  • One of the vertices of an equilateral triangle is on the vertex of a square.
  • Two other vertices are on the not adjacent sides of the same square.

Let's call:

Since the given triangle is equilateral, each side measures the same length. So:

x: The side of the equilateral triangle (Triangle 1)

y: A side of another triangle called Triangle 2.

That length is the hypotenuse of other triangle called Triangle 2. Therefore, by Pythagorean theorem:

\mathbf{(1)} \ x^2=100+y^2

We have another triangle, called Triangle 3, and given that the side of the square is 10ft, then it is true that:

y+(10-y)=10

Therefore, for Triangle 3, we have that by Pythagorean theorem:

(10-y)^2+(10-y)^2=x^2 \\ \\ 2(10-y)^2=x^2 \\ \\ \\ \mathbf{(2)} \ x^2=2(10-y)^2

Matching equations (1) and (2):

2(10-y)^2=100+y^2 \\ \\ 2(100-20y+y^2)=100+y^2 \\ \\ 200-40y+2y^2=100+y^2 \\ \\ (2y^2-y^2)-40y+(200-100)=0 \\ \\ y^2-40y+100=0

Using quadratic formula:

y_{1,2}=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\ \\ y_{1,2}=\frac{-(-40) \pm \sqrt{(-40)^2-4(1)(100)}}{2(1)} \\ \\ \\ y_{1}=37.32 \\ \\ y_{2}=2.68

Finding x from (1):

x^2=100+y^2 \\ \\ x_{1}=\sqrt{100+37.32^2} \\ \\ x_{1}=38.63ft \\ \\ \\ x_{2}=\sqrt{100+2.68^2} \\ \\ x_{2}=10.35ft

<em>Finally, the side of the triangle is either 38.63ft or 10.35ft</em>
