1800ft/45mins. I'm not sure.

Speed is measured by dividing distance by time. Miles per hour is a measure of speed. In this case, our distance unit is feet, and our time unit is minutes. To find the speed, we need to find distance/time, or ft/min.

1800ft/45min

40 ft/min

A researcher wishes to estimate, with 99% confidence, the population proportion of adults who think the president of their co

scoray [572]

Answer:

a. n=4148

b. n=3909

c. The sample size is smaller if a known proportion from prior study is used. The difference in sample sizes is 239

Step-by-step explanation:

a. For sample where no preliminary estimate is given, the minimum sample size is calculated using the formula:

$n=p(1-p)(\frac{z}{ME})^2$

Where:

$ME=$ Margin of error
$p=$ is the assumed proportion

#Let p=0.5, substitute in the formula to solve for n:

$n=0.5(1-0.5)\times (2.576/0.02)^2\\\\=4147.36\approx 4148$

Hence, the minimum sample size is 4148

b. If given a preliminary estimate p=0.38, we use the same formula but substitute p with the given value:

$n=p(1-p)(z/ME)^2\\\\=0.38(1-0.38)(2.576/0.02)^2\\\\=3908.47\approx3909$

Hence, the minimum sample size is 3909

c. Comparing the sample sizes from a and b:

$n_{0.5}>n_{0.38}\\\\n_{0.5}-n_{0.38}=4148-3909=239$

Hence, the actual sample size is smaller for a known proportion from prior a prior study.

How do I solve this equation?

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

x=-3/11

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+3)/5 +2x=0

Multiply both sides by 5 to get rid of the fraction

5*( x+3)/5 +5*2x=0*5

x+3 + 10x =0

Combine like terms

11x +3 = 0

Subtract 3 from both sides

11x+3-3 =0-3

11x = -3

Divide by 11

11x/11 = -3/11

x = -3/11

A submarine travels 6.6 km due West from its base and then turns and travels due South for 3.9

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

$7.7$ km

Step-by-step explanation:

The submarine's path from its base forms a right triangle when its final position is "connected" to the base. We know that the right triangle has legs of $6.6$ km and $3.9$ km, and we need to find the length of its hypotenuse. To do so, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem, which states that in a right triangle, $a^{2}+b^{2} =c^{2}$ , where $a$ and $b$ are the lengths of the triangle's legs and $c$ is the length of the triangle's hypotenuse. In this case, we know what $a$ and $b$ are, and we need to solve for c, so after substituting the given values of $a$ and $b$ into $a^{2}+b^{2} =c^{2}$ to solve for c, we get:

$a^{2}+b^{2} =c^{2}$

$6.6^{2} +3.9^{2} =c^{2}$ (Substitute $a=6.6$ and $b=3.9$ into the equation)

$43.56+15.21=c^{2}$ (Evaluate the squares on the LHS)

$58.77=c^{2}$ (Simplify the LHS)

$c^{2}=58.77$ (Symmetric Property of Equality)

$\sqrt{c^{2} } =\sqrt{58.77}$ (Take the square root of both sides of the equation)

$c=7.7,c=-7.7$ (Simplify)

$c=-7.7$ is an extraneous solution because you can't have negative distance, if that makes sense, so therefore, the submarine is approximately $7.7$ km away from its base. Hope this helps!
