Answer:

C.|-8| < |-15|

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that when a number x is inside |x|, it means that x will always be positive. This means that:

|-8| = 8 ; |-15| = 15

8 < 15.

Two trains start from Fort Worth traveling at the same speed. The trip for Train W takes 20 hours, while the trip for Train Z ta

MrMuchimi

Answer:

The equation that best models this situation is :

b. $\frac{x}{20}=\frac{x+400}{25}$

Distance traveled by Train W = 1600 miles

Distance traveled by Train Z = 2,000 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Time taken for Train W to complete a trip = 20 hours

Time taken for Train Z to complete a trip = 25 hours

The city Train Z is traveling to is 400 miles farther away than the city Train W is traveling to.

both trains have same speeds and start from same location.

To find the distance in total each train travels.

Solution:

Let length of the trip of Train W be = $x$ miles

Speed of Train W can be given as :

⇒ $\frac{Distance}{Time}$

⇒ $\frac{x}{20}\ miles/h$

So, the length of the trip of Train Z will be = $(x+400)$ miles

Speed of Train Z can be given as :

⇒ $\frac{Distance}{Time}$

⇒ $\frac{x+400}{25}\ miles/h$

Since the speeds are same, so the equation to find $x$ can be given as:

⇒ $\frac{x}{20}=\frac{x+400}{25}$

Solving for $x$

Multiplying both sides by 100 to remove fractions.

⇒ $100\times \frac{x}{20}=100\times \frac{x+400}{25}$

⇒ $5x=4(x+400)$

Using distribution.

⇒ $5x=4x+1600$

Subtracting both sides by $4x$

⇒ $5x-4x=4x-4x+1600$

⇒ $x=1600$

Thus, Distance traveled by Train W = 1600 miles

Distance traveled by Train Z = $1600+400$ = 2,000 miles

A physician wants to develop criteria for determining whether a patient's pulse rate is atypical, and she wants to determine whe

valkas [14]

Answer:

a) 66.1 < μ < 82.7

b) 71.9 < μ < 97.7

c) D. No, because the two confidence intervals overlap, we cannot conclude that the two population means are different.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval is given by the formula

M±t×( $\frac{s}{\sqrt{N} }$ ) where

M is the sample mean
t is the corresponding t value for 95 confidence level
s is the sample standard deviation
N is the sample size

a. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the mean pulse rate for males.

For men:

M=74.4 t=2.262 s=11.6207 N=10 then confidence interval is:

74.4±2.262×( $\frac{11.6207}{\sqrt{10 } }$ ) ≈ 74.4±8.3

b. Construct a 95% confidence interval estimate of the mean pulse rate for females.

For women:

M=84.8 t=2.262 s=18.0488 N=10 then confidence interval is:

84.8±2.262×( $\frac{18.0488 }{\sqrt{10 } }$ ) ≈ 84.8±12.9

c. Compare the preceding results. Can we conclude that the population means for males and females are different?

Difference of Population means for males and females are not statistically significant, since confidence intervals overlap.
