The table below represents the displacement of a horse from its barn as a function of time:

Mathematics

"Part A: What is the y-intercept of the function, and what does this tell you about the horse? (4 points)" The y-intercept is (0,8), which tells us that at the beginning the horse is 8 miles from the barn.


"Part B: Calculate the average rate of change of the function represented by the table between x = 1 to x = 3 hours, and tell what the average rate represents. (4 points)" The value of the function at x=1 is 58 and that at x=3 is 158. Thus, the change in the horse's distance from the barn is 158-58, or 100 feet. The time period involved here is 2 sec. Thus, the average rate of change of the horse's position with respect to time is


100 feet

average rate of change = ---------------- = 50 ft/sec

2 sec


If the horse were to move steadily at a fixed rate from 58 feet to 158 feet from the barn, its average rate would be 50 ft/sec.


"Part C: What would be the domain of the function if the horse continued to walk at this rate until it traveled 508 feet from the barn? (2 points)"


Here time begins at x=0 and ends at x=4 sec. Thus, the appropriate domain here is [0,4] sec.

The U.S. Department of Transportation provides the number of miles that residents of the75 largest metropolitan areas travel per
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

a. The point estimate of the difference between the mean number of miles that Buffalo residents travel per day and the mean number of miles that Boston residentstravel per day is 88

b. The 95% confidence interval for the difference between the two population means is (0.58171,7.21829)

Step-by-step explanation:

a. According to the given data we have the following:

Buffalo residents mean=22.5

Standard deviation=8.4

n=50

Boston residents mean=18.6

Standard deviation=7.4

n=40

Hence, the point estimate is the difference of the means=22.5-18.6=3.9

The standard error=√((s1∧2/n1)+((s2∧2/n2))=√((8.4∧2/50)+(7.4∧2/40))=1.67

Therefore, the difference of miles=n1+n2-2=50+40-2=88

The point estimate of the difference between the mean number of miles that Buffalo residents travel per day and the mean number of miles that Boston residentstravel per day is 88.

b. The critical value of t at 95% confidence level and DoF=88 is 1.987

The interval:(x1-x2)+ (critical value* std error)

=3.9-(1.987*1.67),3.9+(1.987*1.67)

Difference between mean=(0.58171,7.21829)

The 95% confidence interval for the difference between the two population means is (0.58171,7.21829)

Round the following times to 1 decimal place 8.16
Mekhanik [1.2K]
The answer is 8.2 bc anything above a 5 goes up.
8.16 <<< a 6 is greater than 5. So the 1 goes up to a 2.

can two different numbers have the same absolute value? if yes, give an example. if no, explain why not.
jekas [21]
Yes.  Absolute values are always positive, so for example:

the absolute value of 1 is 1, and the absolute value of -1 is also 1


or the absolute value of 7 is 7, and the absolute value of -7 is also 7

and so on!
