The airplane in the scale drawing has a wingspan of a feet and a tail span of b feet. If the tailspin in the drawing is 2 inches
xeze [42]

Correct answer is: actual wingspan of airplane is 6 inches.

Solution:-

We are given that wingspan is 'a' feet and tail span is 'b' feet in a scale drawing.

And we are also given that tail span is 2 inches that is b=2 inches and \frac{a}{b}=3

Let us plugin the b value in above equation.

\frac{a}{2}=3

Multiplying with 2 on both sides.

a=3X2=6 inches.

Hence actual wingspan of airplane is 6 inches.

eimsori [14]

Answer:

t=\frac{4.2-3.6}{\frac{1.4}{\sqrt{16}}}=1.714

Reject the null hypothesis if the observed "t" value is less than -2.131 or higher than 2.131  

Rejection Zone: t_{calculated} or t_{calculated}>2.131

In our case since our calculated value is not on the rejection zone we don't have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis at 5% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts  and data given  

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=4.2 represent the sample mean  

s=1.4 represent the sample standard deviation  

n=16 represent the sample selected  

\alpha=0.05 significance level  

State the null and alternative hypotheses.    

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean is different from 3.6, the system of hypothesis would be:    

Null hypothesis:\mu = 3.6    

Alternative hypothesis:\mu \neq 3.6    

If we analyze the size for the sample is < 30 and we know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:    

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}  (1)    

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".    

Calculate the statistic  

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:    

t=\frac{4.2-3.6}{\frac{1.4}{\sqrt{16}}}=1.714

Critical values

On this case since we have a bilateral test we need to critical values. We need to use the t distribution with df=n-1=16-1=15 degrees of freedom. The value for \alpha=0.05 and \alpha/2=0.025 so we need to find on the t distribution with 15 degrees of freedom two values that accumulates 0.025 of the ara on each tail. We can use the following excel codes:

"=T.INV(0.025,15)" "=T.INV(1-0.025,15)"

And we got t_{crit}=\pm 2.131    

So the decision on this case would be:

Reject the null hypothesis if the observed "t" value is less than -2.131 or higher than 2.131  

Rejection Zone: t_{calculated} or t_{calculated}>2.131

Conclusion    

In our case since our calculated value is not on the rejection zone we don't have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis at 5% of significance.

Train a is traveling at 30 mph faster than train b. If train a travels 350 miles in the same amount of time that train b travels
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

20 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let speed of Train a = Va mph

Let speed of Train b = Vb mph

Va = Vb + 30

Let time taken for Train a = Ta

Let time taken for Train b = Tb

time taken = distance travelled/speed

Ta = 350/Va = 350/(Vb+30)

Tb = 140/Vb

But they both travel in the same amount of time.

So, Ta = Tb

\frac{350}{v_{b} + 30}=\frac{140}{v_{b}}

Cross multiply

350v_{b} = 140(v_{b} + 30)\\\\350v_{b} = 140v_{b} + 4200\\\\350v_{b} -140v_{b} = 4200\\\\210v_{b} = 4200

Divide both sides by 210

\frac{210v_{b} }{210} \frac{4200}{210} \\\\v_{b} = 20 mph

A person invests 6500 dollars in a bank. The bank pays 7% interest compounded
Inessa [10]

Answer:

t=16.2 years

Step-by-step explanation:

A=p(1+r/n)^nt

A=$20100

P=$6500

r=7%=0.07

n=4

t=?

t=ln(A/P)/n {ln(1+r/n)}

=ln(20100/6500) / 4{ln(1+0.07/4)}

=ln(3.0923)/4{ln(1+0.0175)}

=ln(3.0923)/4{ln(1.0175)}

=1.1289/4(0.0174)

=1.1289/0.0696

=16.23

To the nearest tenth

t=16.2 years

A ∠A and ∠ B ∠B are complementary angles. If m ∠ A = ( 2 x + 18 ) ∘ ∠A=(2x+18) ∘ and m ∠ B = ( 6 x + 8 ) ∘ ∠B=(6x+8) ∘ , then fi
Aleks [24]

Answer:

<B = 56 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of two complementary angle is 90 degrees

Hence <A + <B = 90

2x++18 + 6x + 8 = 90

8x + 26 = 90

8x = 90-26

8x = 64

x = 64/8

x = 8

Get <B

<B = 6x+8

<B = 6(8) + 8

<B = 48+8

<B = 56 degrees
