Answer:

24.8 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

as we know if one sailed north and another east, the angle with respect to the port will be 90 degrees

This means that the distance of each ship to the pier can be the legs of a rectangular triangle

The distance of a ship from the other would be represented by the hypotenuse

h: Hipotenuse

c1: leg 1

c2: leg 2

By Pythagoras we know that the hypotenuse is equal to

h = √(c1^2 + c^2)

if we replace with the values ​​we have left

h = √(18^2 + 17^2)

h = √(324 + 289)

h = √613

h = 24.758

we round a decimal place

h = 24.8

Answer:

The difference of the means is not significant because the re-randomizations show that it is within the range of what could happen by chance.​

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The treatment group using Spray A reported a mean of 3.5 mosquito bites.

The treatment group using Spray B reported a mean of 5.6 mosquito bites.

After the data are  re-randomized; the differences of the means are shown in the dot plot. The dot plot is attached in the file below;

The best conclusion that can be make based on the data from the dot plot is :

The difference of the means is not significant because the re-randomizations show that it is within the range of what could happen by chance.​
