From points A and B, the distance between which is 1020 mi, two trains left simultaneously towards each other. The speed of one

train was 10 mph greater than the speed of the other one. In 5 hours the trains had not met yet and were 170 mi apart. Find the speed of the trains.

From points A and B, the distance between which is 1020 mi

The speed of one train was 10 mph greater than the speed of the other one

Let the Speed of first train is x

Speed of second train is x+ 10

Time = 5 hours

Distance = speed * time

Distance traveled by first train = x * 5= 5x

Distance traveled by second  train = (x+10) * 5= 5x + 50

the trains had not met yet and were 170 mi apart.

the distance between A  and B is 1020 mi, Distance traveled by two trains = 1020 - 170 = 850 miles

Distance traveled by first train + second train = 850

5x + 5x + 50 = 850

10x + 50 = 850

Subtract both sides by 50

10x = 800

x= 80

Speed of first train is 80 miles per hour

Speed of second train is 90 miles per hour

Based on the family the graph below belongs to, which equation could represent the graph?
pav-90 [236]

The correct equation which represents the graph is y = log (2x) + 3. Then the correct option is B.

<h3>What is a function?</h3>

The function is an expression, rule, or law that defines the relationship between one variable to another variable. Functions are ubiquitous in mathematics and are essential for formulating physical relationships.

The equations are given below.

The graph of the function y = 2ˣ + 3 approaches zero when the value of x goes to negative infinity.

The graph of the function y = log (2x) + 3 approaches the negative infinity when the value of x approaches zero.

The graph of the function y = 2x² + 2 is parabolic in nature.

Then the correct equation which represents the graph is y = log (2x) + 3.

More about the function link is given below.

A manufacturer of widgets wants to test a new widget-producing machine to determine if it can make an average of 25 widgets per
klio [65]

Using the t-distribution, it is found that since the p-value is greater than 0.01, there is no evidence that the new machine should be rejected at the 0.01 significance level.

<h3>What are the hypothesis tested?</h3>

At the null hypothesis, it is tested if the average is not less than 25, that is:

H_0: \mu \geq 25

At the alternative hypothesis, it is tested if the average is less than 25, that is:

H_1: \mu < 25

<h3>What is the test statistic?</h3>

The test statistic is given by:

t = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}

The parameters are:

  • \overline{x} is the sample mean.
  • \mu is the value tested at the null hypothesis.
  • s is the standard deviation of the sample.
  • n is the sample size.

Considering the situation described, the values of the parameters are given as follows:

\overline{x} = 24.97, \mu = 25, s = 2.16, n = 10

Hence the test statistic is:

t = \frac{\overline{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}}

t = \frac{24.97 - 25}{\frac{2.16}{\sqrt{10}}}

t = -0.04

<h3>What is the p-value and the conclusion?</h3>

Using a t-distribution calculator, for a left-tailed test, as we are testing if the mean is less than a value, with 10 - 1 = 9 df and t = -0.04, the p-value is of 0.4844.

Since the p-value is greater than 0.01, there is no evidence that the new machine should be rejected at the 0.01 significance level.
