A jogger runs 140 m due west, then changes direction for the second leg of her run. At the end of the run, she is 374 m away fro

Answer:

The length of her second displacement = 247.12 m.

The direction of her second displacement = 31.24° from west.

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the question,

From the figure as drawn below,

Let the starting point be O. After running 140 m due west, she reached at point A.

∴ OA = 140 m

And At the end of the run, she is 374 m away from the starting point at an angle of 20° north of west.

∴ OP = 374 m

We have to find the distance AP = x.

By using the cosine rule in triangle OAP

cos \theta = \frac{OA^{2}+OP^{2}-AP^{2}}{2\times OA\times OP}

After putting the given value, we get

cos 20= \frac{140^{2}+374^{2}-x^{2}}{2\times 140\times 374}

x^{2}=140^{2}+374^{2} - 2\times 140\times 374\times cos 20

  ∴ x = 247.12 m  

Hence,the length of her second displacement = 247.12 m.

Again,

By using the cosine rule in triangle OAP, we get

cos \alpha = \frac{OA^{2}+AP^{2}-OP^{2}}{2\times OA\times AP}

After putting the given value, we get

cos \alpha = \frac{140^{2}+247.12^{2}-374^{2}}{2\times 140\times 247.12}

∴ α = 148.759°

Hence, the  direction of her second displacement = 180° - α = 180° - 148.759 = 31.24° from west.

1. Find the 90% Cl for the population mean if sample
Elden [556K]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

mean (μ) = 12, SD(σ) = 2.3, sample size (n) = 65

Given that the confidence level (c) = 90% = 0.9

α = 1 - c = 0.1

α/2 = 0.05

The z score of α/2 is the same as the z score of 0.45 (0.5 - 0.05) which is equal to 1.65

The margin of error (E) is given as:

E=Z_{\frac{\alpha}{2} }*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } =1.65*\frac{2.3}{\sqrt{65} } =0.47

The confidence interval = μ ± E = 12 ± 0.47 = (11.53, 12.47)

2)

mean (μ) = 23, SD(σ) = 12, sample size (n) = 45

Given that the confidence level (c) = 88% = 0.88

α = 1 - c = 0.12

α/2 = 0.06

The z score of α/2 is the same as the z score of 0.44 (0.5 - 0.06) which is equal to 1.56

The margin of error (E) is given as:

E=Z_{\frac{\alpha}{2} }*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } =1.56*\frac{12}{\sqrt{45} } =2.8

The confidence interval = μ ± E = 23 ± 2.8 = (22.2, 25.8)

Answer:

The % growth rate is 15.8%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the function is given by f(w) = a(b)^{w}, where f(w) is the number of a specific product produced after w weeks.

Now, given for w = 0, f(0) = 190 = a

So, the function becomes f(w) = 190(b)^{w} ............. (1)

Now, it is also give that at w = 1, f(1) = 220.

So, from equation (1) we get,

220 = 190 (b)^{1} = 190b

⇒ b = 1.15789.

Now, b = 1 + r

⇒ 1.15789 = 1 + r

⇒ r = 0.15789

Therefore, the % growth rate is 0.15789 × 100% = 15.8% (Approx.)
