Two trains start from Fort Worth traveling at the same speed. The trip for Train W takes 20 hours, while the trip for Train Z ta

MrMuchimi

Answer:

The equation that best models this situation is :

b. $\frac{x}{20}=\frac{x+400}{25}$

Distance traveled by Train W = 1600 miles

Distance traveled by Train Z = 2,000 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Time taken for Train W to complete a trip = 20 hours

Time taken for Train Z to complete a trip = 25 hours

The city Train Z is traveling to is 400 miles farther away than the city Train W is traveling to.

both trains have same speeds and start from same location.

To find the distance in total each train travels.

Solution:

<em>Let length of the trip of Train W be </em>= $x$ miles

Speed of Train W can be given as :

⇒ $\frac{Distance}{Time}$

⇒ $\frac{x}{20}\ miles/h$

<em>So, the length of the trip of Train Z will be</em> = $(x+400)$ miles

Speed of Train Z can be given as :

⇒ $\frac{Distance}{Time}$

⇒ $\frac{x+400}{25}\ miles/h$

Since the speeds are same, so the equation to find $x$ can be given as:

⇒ $\frac{x}{20}=\frac{x+400}{25}$

Solving for $x$

Multiplying both sides by 100 to remove fractions.

⇒ $100\times \frac{x}{20}=100\times \frac{x+400}{25}$

⇒ $5x=4(x+400)$

Using distribution.

⇒ $5x=4x+1600$

Subtracting both sides by $4x$

⇒ $5x-4x=4x-4x+1600$

⇒ $x=1600$

Thus, Distance traveled by Train W = 1600 miles

Distance traveled by Train Z = $1600+400$ = 2,000 miles

An article describes an experiment to determine the effectiveness of mushroom compost in removing petroleum contaminants from so

alexgriva [62]

Solution :

Let $p_1$ and $p_2$ represents the proportions of the seeds which germinate among the seeds planted in the soil containing $3\%$ and $5\%$ mushroom compost by weight respectively.

To test the null hypothesis $H_0: p_1=p_2$ against the alternate hypothesis $H_1:p_1 \neq p_2$ .

Let $\hat p_1, \hat p_2$ denotes the respective sample proportions and the $n_1, n_2$ represents the sample size respectively.

$$\hat p_1 = \frac{74}{155} = 0.477419$

$n_1=155$

$$p_2=\frac{86}{155}=0.554839$

$n_2=155$

The test statistic can be written as :

$$z=\frac{(\hat p_1 - \hat p_2)}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1 \times (1-\hat p_1)}{n_1}} + \frac{\hat p_2 \times (1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}}}$

which under $H_0$ follows the standard normal distribution.

We reject $H_0$ at $0.05$ level of significance, if the P-value or if $|z_{obs}|>Z_{0.025}$

Now, the value of the test statistics = -1.368928

The critical value = $\pm 1.959964$

P-value = $P(|z|> z_{obs})= 2 \times P(z< -1.367928)$

$=2 \times 0.085667$

= 0.171335

Since the p-value > 0.05 and $|z_{obs}| \ngtr z_{critical} = 1.959964$ , so we fail to reject $H_0$ at $0.05$ level of significance.

Hence we conclude that the two population proportion are not significantly different.

Conclusion :

There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that the $\text{proportion}$ of the seeds that $\text{germinate differs}$ with the percent of the $\text{mushroom compost}$ in the soil.
