Answer:

6852 feet .

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer the attached figure

The chairlift at a ski resort rises a total of 2600 feet from where it starts. i.e.AB = 2600 feet

The angle of elevation is about 22.3 degrees.i.e.∠ACB= 22.3°

We are supposed to find How far do riders travel on the lift i.e.AC

In ΔABC

We will use trigonometric ratio

$Sin\theta =\frac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}$

$Sin22.3^{\circ} =\frac{AB}{AC}$

$AC=\frac{2600}{Sin22.3^{\circ}}$

$AC=\frac{2600}{0.379456159529}$

$AC=6851.9$

So, riders travel 6852 feet .

The y distance of this problem is 2600 with an angle of elevation of 22.3 degrees. This angle is measured from the horizontal. This problem is solved using the Pythagorean theorem where 2600 is the opposite and we are to solve the hypotenuse. It is solved by the equation sin(theta) = opposite /hypotenuses. Plug in the given and the answer is 6852 feet.

Find the length and width of a rectangle that has the given area and a minimum perimeter. Area: 162 square feet

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

The width and length of rectangle is 12.728 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangle = L

let the width of the rectangle = W

The subjective function is given by;

F(p) = 2(L + W)

F = 2L + 2W

Area of the rectangle is given by;

A = LW

LW = 162 ft²

L = 162 / W

Substitute in the value of L into subjective function;

$f = 2l + 2w\\\\f = 2(\frac{162}{w} )+2w\\\\f = \frac{324}{w} + 2w\\\\\frac{df}{dw} = \frac{-324}{w^2} +2\\\\$

Take the second derivative of the function, to check if it will given a minimum perimeter

$\frac{d^2f}{dw^2}= \frac{648}{w^3} \\\\Thus, \frac{d^2f}{dw^2}>0, \ since,\frac{648}{w^3} >0 \ (minimum \ function \ verified)$

Determine the critical points of the first derivative;

df/dw = 0

$\frac{-324}{w^2} +2 = 0\\\\-324 + 2w^2=0\\\\2w^2 = 324\\\\w^2 = \frac{324}{2} \\\\w^2 = 162\\\\w= \sqrt{162}\\\\w = 12.728 \ m$

L = 162 / 12.728

L = 12.728 m

Therefore, the width and length of rectangle is 12.728 m

If a baby drinks 4oz of formula every 4 hours. How much does the baby drink in one day? If a can of formula makes approximately

Afina-wow [57]

A.) if 4oz is drank every 4 hours, and there are 24 hours in a day, then there are 6 times during each day that the baby drinks formula. Knowing this, multiply 6 and 4 to get 24oz of formula each day
b.) if 1 can = 91fl oz, and, let's say 30 days in a month, then 24 multiplied by 30 will gives us how much is drank each month which is equal to 720fl oz. Divide 720 by 91 to get approximately 8 cans for one month.
c.) Go back to sub-problem a to find that the new amount per day is now equal to 16oz (6oz/4hrs ... 24/6 = 4 ... 4*4 = 16). Now take 30 and multiply it by 16 to get 480fl oz. Divide 480 by 91 to get approximately 5 cans for one month.

A consumer group is testing camp stoves. To test the heating capacity of a stove, they measure the time required to bring 2 quar

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

a

The decision rule is

Reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is

There is sufficient evidence to show that there is a difference between the performances of these two models

b

The 95% confidence interval is $0.224 < \mu_1 - \mu_2 < 2.776$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sample size is n = 36

The first sample mean is $\= x_1 = 11.4$

The first standard deviation is $s_1 = 2.5$

The second sample mean is $\= x_2 = 9.9$

The second standard deviation is $s_2 = 3.0$

The level of significance is $\alpha = 0.05$

The null hypothesis is $H_o : \mu_1 - \mu_2 = 0$

The alternative hypothesis is $H_a : \mu_1 - \mu_2 \ne 0$

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

$z = \frac{ (\= x_1 - \= x_2 ) - (\mu_1 - \mu_2 ) }{ \sqrt{ \frac{s_1^2 }{n} + \frac{s_2^2 }{ n} } }$

=> $z = \frac{ ( 11.4 - 9.9) - 0 }{ \sqrt{ \frac{2.5^2 }{36} + \frac{ 3^2 }{36 } } }$

=> $z = 2.3$

From the z table the area under the normal curve to the left corresponding to 2.3 is

$P( Z > 2.3 ) = 0.010724$

Generally the p-value is mathematically represented as

$p-value = 2 * P( Z > 2.3 )$

=> $p-value = 2 * 0.010724$

=> $p-value = 0.02$

From the value obtained we see that $p-value < \alpha$ hence

The decision rule is

Reject the null hypothesis

The conclusion is

There is sufficient evidence to show that there is a difference between the performances of these two models

Considering question b

From the question we are told the confidence level is 95% , hence the level of significance is

$\alpha = (100 - 95 ) \%$

=> $\alpha = 0.05$

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ is

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96$

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

$E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sqrt{ \frac{s_1^2 }{n } + \frac{s_2^2}{n}}$

=> $E = 1.96 * \sqrt{ \frac{2.5^2 }{ 36 } + \frac{ 3^2}{36}}$

=> $E = 1.276$

Generally 95% confidence interval is mathematically represented as

$( \= x_1 - \= x_2) -E < \mu_1 - \mu_2 < ( \= x_1 - \= x_2) + E$

=> $( 11.4 - 9.9 ) -1.276 < \mu_1 - \mu_2 < ( 11.4 - 9.9 ) + 1.276$

=> $0.224 < \mu_1 - \mu_2 < 2.776$
