A small boat traveled 29.5 miles upstream in 2 hours. The same boat took 3 hours to travel 59.25 miles downstream. If the speed

and direction of the water was the same in both directions, find the speed of the boat in still water and the speed of the current.

Answer:

  • boat speed: 17.25 mph
  • current: 2.5 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Upstream, the speed of the current (c) subtracts from the speed of the boat (b) to give the net speed. Downstream, the speed of the current adds. We can make use of the relation ...

  speed = distance/time

  b-c = 29.5/2 = 14.75 . . . . . miles/hour

  b+c = 59.25/3 = 19.75 . . . .miles/hour

Subtracting the first equation from the second, we get ...

  (b+c) -(b-c) = 19.75 -14.75

  2c = 5

  c = 2.5

Then either equation can be used to find b:

  b = 14.75 +c = 17.25

The speed of the boat in still water is 17.25 miles per hour; the speed of the current is 2.5 miles per hour.

What is the the slope that passes through the points (4,-7) and (9,1)
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

8/5

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the formula for finding slope for this:  \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

\frac{1 - (-7)}{9 - 4}

\frac{8}{5}

The answer would be 8/5

Find and interpret the mean absolute deviation of the data. Round your answers to the nearest tenth. If necessary 101.5 98.7 95.
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

\bar X = 100.4

And we can calculate the deviations from each value like this:

|101.5-100.4 |=1.1

|98.7-100.4 |=1.7

|95.4-100.4 |=5.0

|92.3-100.4 |=8.1

|109.8-100.4 |=9.4

|104.7-100.4|=4.3

And the mean absolute deviation would be:

MAD =\frac{1.1+1.7+5.0+8.1+9.4+4.3}{6}= 4.93

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following dataset given:

101.5 98.7 95.4 92.3 109.8 104.7

We can calculate the mean with the following formula:

\bar X =\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n X_i}{n}

And replacing we got:

\bar X = 100.4

And we can calculate the deviations from each value like this:

|101.5-100.4 |=1.1

|98.7-100.4 |=1.7

|95.4-100.4 |=5.0

|92.3-100.4 |=8.1

|109.8-100.4 |=9.4

|104.7-100.4|=4.3

And the mean absolute deviation would be:

MAD =\frac{1.1+1.7+5.0+8.1+9.4+4.3}{6}= 4.93

For each of the following studies, say whether you would use a t test for dependent means or a t test for independent means.
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

1. T test for independent means

2. T test for dependent means

3. T test for dependent means

Step-by-step explanation:

In number 1, the two groups are unrelated. The first group has 25 subjects and they're all unemployed. The second group has 24 subjects and their employment status is not stated and might not be the same all through. Also, the first group is receiving a new type of job skills program while the second group is taking the standard job skills program.

- The groups in the experiment are unrelated

- The tests in the research are unrelated

- The purpose of the research is unreasonable - the researcher seeks to measure how well all 49 subjects perform on 'a' job skills test! No comparison between the scores or mean scores of the two groups.

In number 2, the researcher uses the same subjects and also measures the same variable but twice. This is a good example of a study where the t test for dependent means can be taken. Same applies in case 3.

20 points and Brainliest !
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

y = -5/6x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is: y = mx + b

- where m is the slope

- where b is the y-intercept.

The problem already gives you the slope and y-intercept, so all you have to do is put it in for m and b respectively. Therefore, we have:

y = -5/6x + 6
