Two cars leave from the same point (A) and travel along a straight road, which are at angle of 78° to each other. If their speed

s are 120 km/h (truck) and 90 km/h (car) respectively, how far apart will they be after one half hour?

T=(60cos78, 60sin78)

T=(12.47, 58.69)

C=45

d=√((45-12.47)^2+58.69^2)

d≈67.1km

Researchers are interested if a school breakfast program leads to taller children. Assume that the population of all 5 year-old

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

$39-1.96\frac{1}{\sqrt{25}}=38.608$

$39+1.96\frac{1}{\sqrt{25}}=39.392$

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (38.608;39.392)

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

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".

$\bar X=39$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

$\sigma=1$ represent the population standard deviation

n=25 represent the sample size

Solution to the problem

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

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

The margin of error is given by:

$ME= z_{\alpha/2}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

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 tabel to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.025,0,1)".And we see that $z_{\alpha/2}=1.96$

And replacing we got:

$ME= 1.96 *\frac{1}{\sqrt{25}}= 0.392$

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

$39-1.96\frac{1}{\sqrt{25}}=38.608$

$39+1.96\frac{1}{\sqrt{25}}=39.392$

So on this case the 95% confidence interval would be given by (38.608;39.392)

37 pumpkins each weighs 48 ounces

KiRa [710]

37 * 48 = 3 * (c - 140 )+ 2 *(c - 140 ) + ( c - 140 ) =>
37 * 48 = 6 * ( c - 140 ) =>
37 * 48 / 6 = c - 140 =>
37 * 8 = c - 140 =>
296 = c - 140 =>
c = 296 + 140 =>
c = 436 ounces.
