In a baseball game, an outfielder throws a ball to the second baseman. The path of the ball is modeled by the equation y=-1/900(

x-375/2)^2+705/16, where y is the height of the ball in feet after the ball has traveled x feet horizontally. The second baseman catches the ball at the same height as the height at which the outfielder released it. How far was the second baseman from the outfielder at the time he caught the ball?

Answer:

The second base 375 feet away from the outfielder.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

y=-\frac{1}{900}(x-\frac{375}{2})^2+\frac{705}{16}

Where y is the height of the ball in feet after the ball has traveled x feet horizontally.

Put x=0, to find the initial height of the bal.

y=-\frac{1}{900}(0-\frac{375}{2})^2+\frac{705}{16}

y=-\frac{1}{900}(\frac{140625}{4})+\frac{705}{16}

y=-\frac{625}{16}+\frac{705}{16}

y=\frac{80}{16}

y=5

Therefore the initial height of the ball is 5 feet.

The second baseman catches the ball at the same height as the height at which the outfielder released it.

Put y=5 at find the another value of x, for which the height of the ball is 5.

5=-\frac{1}{900}(x-\frac{375}{2})^2+\frac{705}{16}

-\frac{1}{900}\left(x-\frac{375}{2}\right)^2=-\frac{625}{16}

\left(x-\frac{375}{2}\right)^2=\frac{140625}{4}

x-\frac{375}{2}=\pm \sqrt{\frac{140625}{4}}

x=\frac{375}{2}\pm \frac{375}{2}

x=0,375

Therefore the second value of x is 375 for which the height of ball is 5.

Therefore the second base 375 feet away from the outfielder.

Tammy bought a nightstand that was marked down 60% from an original price of $50. If she paid 10% sales tax, what was the total
AURORKA [14]

Answer: the total cost of the nightstand is $22

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price of the night stand is $50. If the original price of the night stand was marked down by 60%, it means that the amount of money by which it was reduced would be

60/100 × 50 = 0.6 × 50 = 30

The new selling price would be

50 - 30 = $20

If she paid 10% sales tax,the amount of tax paid would be

10/100 × 20 = 0.1 × 20 = 2

Therefore, the total cost of the nightstand would be

20 + 2 = $22

valkas [14]

Answer:

c) t-test of population mean

Explanation:

The t-test statistic is used in hypothesis testing. Here we would use a one sample t test to test our hypothesis. The one sample t test measures the statistical difference between the hypothesized mean and the sample mean. In a one sample t test or single sample t test, a test variable is measured against a test value.

Example we compare our test variable to the hypothesized mean value $75 above.

The t test is used instead of z score when standard deviation is unknown.

Using the t test, we either accept or reject the null hypothesis given alternative hypothesis.
