An airplane has begun its descent for a landing. When the airplane is 150 miles west of its destination, its altitude is 25,000

feet. When the airplane is 90 miles west of its destination, its altitude is 19,000 feet. If the airplane's descent is modeled by a linear function, where will the airplane be in relation to the runway when it hits ground level?

Answer:

airplane will over shoot the runway by 100 miles (for USA Test Prep people)

Step-by-step explanation:

slope =

25,000 - 19,000

150 - 90

= 100

y = mx + b

25,000 = 100(150) + b

25,000 - 15,000 = b

b = 10,000

thus,

y = mx + b

0 = 100x + 10,000

-10,000 = 100x

x = -100

When the plane is at ground level (y = 0), it will be 100 miles past the end of the runway.

The airplane has descended (25,000 - 19,000) = 6,000 feet
while flying (150 - 90) = 60 miles.

If the descent is modeled by a linear function, then the slope
of the function is

             (-6000 ft) / (60 miles)  =  - 100 ft/mile .

Since it still has 19,000 ft left to descend, at the rate of 100 ft/mi,
it still needs to fly

           (19,000 ft) / (100 ft/mile) =  190 miles

to reach the ground.

It's located 90 miles west of the runway now.  So if it continues
on the same slope, it'll be 100 miles past the runway (east of it)
when it touches down.

I sure hope there's another airport there.

If you want to find “x” you would need to isolated isolate the variable “x”. You do This by doing the inverse operation of the equation.

For example,

If you add 39 you’ll subtract 39.

But in this case ask yourself,

What variable do I want?

In this case it’s “x”

What is stopping “x” form being by itself?

Then do the inverse operation to get rid of what stopping x form being by itself.

If you don’t want x I’m sorry I wasn’t of help.

Courtney biked 8 laps around a park. The app on her phone showed she biked 11.12 miles. What is the constant of proportionality
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

1.39/1

Step-by-step explanation:

the answer can be explained by dividing the distance covered by thebiker to the number of laps covered by the same. This gives us the ratio of distance per unti lap for the biker.

11.12 miles divided by 8 gives us=  1.39

Do SAT coaching classes work? Do they help students to improve their test scores? Four students were selected randomly from all
Ghella [55]

Answer:

B.  the matched pairs t test.

Step-by-step explanation:

A paired t-test is used to compare two population means where you have two samples in  which observations in one sample can be paired with observations in the other sample. For example  if we have Before-and-after observations (This problem) we can use it.  

Let put some notation  

x=first test value , y = second test value

x: 920, 830, 960, 910

y: 1010, 800, 1000, 980

The system of hypothesis for this case are:

Null hypothesis: \mu_y- \mu_x \leq 0

Alternative hypothesis: \mu_y -\mu_x >0

The first step is calculate the difference d_i=y_i-x_i and we obtain this:

d: 90, -30, 40, 70

The second step is calculate the mean difference  

\bar d= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n d_i}{n}= \frac{170}{4}=42.5

The third step would be calculate the standard deviation for the differences, and we got:

s_d =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (d_i -\bar d)^2}{n-1} =52.520

The 4 step is calculate the statistic given by :

t=\frac{\bar d -0}{\frac{s_d}{\sqrt{n}}}=\frac{42.5 -0}{\frac{52.520}{\sqrt{4}}}=1.618

The next step is calculate the degrees of freedom given by:

df=n-1=4-1=3

Now we can calculate the p value, since we have a right tailed test the p value is given by:

p_v =P(t_{(3)}>1.618) =0.1024

So the p value is higher than any significance level assumed (0.05), so then we can conclude that we reject the null hypothesis. So we can conclude that the difference between the after and the initial score it's not significantly higher at 5% of significance.
