An air traffic controller spots two airplanes at the same altitude converging to a point as they fly at right angles to each oth

er. One airplane is 150 miles from the point and has a speed of 300 miles per hour. The other is 200 miles from the point and has a speed of 400 miles per hour.
(a) At what rate is the distances between the planes decreasing?
(b) How much time does the air traffic controller have to get one of the planes on a different flight path?

Answer:

(a) D(t) = 250t -500 miles

(b) Controller has 2 hours, but including time for pilots to divert course or altitude.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

two planes at same altitude heading in a collision course.

Plane A at 400 miles from collision point at 200 mph

Plane B at 300 miles from collision point at 150 mph.

Theoretical collision happens in

t = 400/200 = 300/150 = 2 hours

Distance ya of plane A from collision point as a function of time in hours

ya(t) = 400 -200t

Distance yb of plane B from collision point as a function of time in hours

yb(t) = 300-150t

(a) Distance between two planes,

Since the two planes are on courses perpendicular to each other, will need using pythagorean theorem

D(t) = sqrt(ya(t)^2+yb(t)^2)

= sqrt((400-200t)^2+(300-150t)^2)

= 250(t-2)

D(t) = 250t -500 miles

b. time available

Time until D(t) = 0

solve D(t) = 0

D(t) = 0

250(t-2) = 0

t = 2  (two hours)

A CD has a 5% chance of being a smash hit and profiting $5.2 million, a 50% chance of being a modest success and profiting $0.9
Zinaida [17]
The probability of profiting $5.2 million is 5% = 0.05

The probability of profiting $0.9 million is 50% = 0.5

The probability of breaking even, meaning no profit gain, is 45% = 0.45

Expected profit values of the CD is given by
(0.05×5.2) + (0.5×0.9) + (0.45×0) = 0.26+0.45+0 = 0.71 million

We have five samples of data: sample A with 30 successes of 50 cases, sample B with 600 successes of 1000 cases, sample C with 3
faust18 [17]

Answer:

C. with 3000 successes of 5000 cases sample

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that we need to test if the proportion of success is greater than 0.5.

From the given options, we can see that they all have the same proportion which equals to;

Proportion p = 30/50 = 600/1000 = 0.6

p = 0.6

But we can notice that the number of samples in each case is different.

Test statistic z score can be calculated with the formula below;

z = (p^−po)/√{po(1−po)/n}

Where,

z= Test statistics

n = Sample size

po = Null hypothesized value

p^ = Observed proportion

Since all other variables are the same for all the cases except sample size, from the formula for the test statistics we can see that the higher the value of sample size (n) the higher the test statistics (z) and the highest z gives the strongest evidence for the alternative hypothesis. So the option with the highest sample size gives the strongest evidence for the alternative hypothesis.

Therefore, option C with sample size 5000 and proportion 0.6 has the highest sample size. Hence, option C gives the strongest evidence for the alternative hypothesis

What does the slope of the graph
balu736 [363]
The slope of a graph is rise over run. So count how many units up you move and put that over how many units right you move. If you are moving down or to the left it would be negative.
