Answer:

half the rop to the top of the building = W = 423.75

top of the building = W = 423.75

Step-by-step explanation:

a) How much work W is done in pulling the rope to the top of the building?

When a length of rope xi has been pulled to the top of the building, then the force  required to move the remaining rope is 1/2(g(60− xi)), the weight of the rope.

The work to pull  an additional small length of rope, ∆x, to the top of the building is 1 /2 ((60 − xi)∆x).

Note that  the relationship between xi and ∆x is that for n constant lengths of rope equal to ∆x, then  xi = i∆x. The Riemann sum for the work is:

W=  ∑ n,i = 1  (1/2(60 - xi). ∆x) = ∑ n,i = 1  (1/2(60 - i∆x). ∆x)

Note that xi = i∆x will not limit to zero as n → ∞. The corresponding integral is:

W =  \int\limits^3_0 {0. 1/2 (60 - x)} \, dx

W = 1/2. [60x - 1/2. x^2]^3_0

W = 423.75

d) How much work W is done in pulling half the rope to the top of the building?

This requires almost the same Riemann sum except the upper limit on the sum  changes:

W=  ∑ n/2,i = 1  (1/2(60 - xi). ∆x) = ∑ n,i = 1  (1/2(60 - i∆x). ∆x)

The corresponding integral is:

W = \int\limits^{1.5}_0 {5. 1/2 (60 - x)} \, dx

W = 1/2. [60x - 1/2. x^2]^{1.5}_0 . 5

W = 423.75

Using the rule of 72, how long will it take for the principal to double with an annual compound interest rate of 6%?
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

C. 12

Step-by-step explanation:

With the rule of 72, you would divide 72 by the periodic interest rate to get the number of years for the principal to double

72 ÷ 6 = 12

5. A fruit concentrate is sold in 250 mL packs. The instructions are 'Add water to make one litre of ready-to-drink fruit juice'
Ierofanga [76]
Given ,

Concentrate= 250 mL

Water = 1 liter = 1000 mL

A) ratio is 250:1000 = 1:4

B) for 250 mL it is 1 liter now for 2000mL it is X .

=> x = 2000/250 = 8 liters

C) volume of water in 6L of made up juice is 1500 mL

D) 1 liter - 5 glasses

For 80 glasses it would be 80/5 = 16 glasses

At Western University the historical mean of scholarship examination scores for freshman applications is 900. A historical popul
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

a) Null Hypothesis: \mu =900

Alternative hypothesis: \mu \neq 900

b) The 95% confidence interval would be given by (910.05;959.95)    

c) Since we confidence interval not ocntains the value of 900 we fail to reject the null hypothesis that the true mean is 900.

d) z=\frac{935 -900}{\frac{180}{\sqrt{200}}}=2.750

Since is a bilateral test the p value is given by:

p_v =2*P(Z>2.750)=0.0059

Step-by-step explanation:

a. State the hypotheses.

On this case we want to check the following system of hypothesis:

Null Hypothesis: \mu =900

Alternative hypothesis: \mu \neq 900

b. What is the 95% confidence interval estimate of the population mean examination  score if a sample of 200 applications provided a sample mean x¯¯¯= 935?

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

\bar X=935 represent the sample mean for the sample  

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

\sigma=180 represent the population standard deviation

n=200 represent the sample size  

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

\bar X \pm z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

In order to calculate the mean and the sample deviation we can use the following formulas:  

\bar X= \sum_{i=1}^n \frac{x_i}{n} (2)  

s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (x_i-\bar X)}{n-1}} (3)  

The mean calculated for this case is \bar X=3278.222

The sample deviation calculated s=97.054

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of \alpha=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025, and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.025,0,1)".And we see that z_{\alpha/2}=1.96

Now we have everything in order to replace into formula (1):

935-1.96\frac{180}{\sqrt{200}}=910.05    

935+1.96\frac{180}{\sqrt{200}}=959.95    

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (910.05;959.95)    

c. Use the confidence interval to conduct a hypothesis test. Using α= .05, what is your  conclusion?

Since we confidence interval not ocntains the value of 900 we fail to reject the null hypothesis that the true mean is 900.

d. What is the p-value?

The statistic is given by:

z=\frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}

If we replace we got:

z=\frac{935 -900}{\frac{180}{\sqrt{200}}}=2.750

Since is a bilateral test the p value is given by:

p_v =2*P(Z>2.750)=0.0059

So then since the p value is less than the significance we can reject the null hypothesis at 5% of significance.
